Key Characteristics:

• Special control circuit with adjustable mixing time for precise operation.
• Solder cream is positioned at a 45-degree angle and rotates along the axis, preventing adhesion to the pot cover.
• Smooth operation with low noise levels.
• Facilitates natural temperature return and bubble removal during mixing.
• Allows for convenient and safe pick-and-place without opening the solder cream pot cover.
• Equipped with safety devices to ensure personal safety during operation.

2. Product Features

• Special Control Circuit: Features an adjustable mixing time for easy and precise operation.
• Optimized Mixing Angle: Solder cream is placed at a 45-degree angle and rotates along the axis direction, preventing it from sticking to the pot cover.
• Temperature & Bubble Management: Includes functions for natural temperature return and effective bubble removal during the mixing process.
• Convenient Operation: No need to open the cover of the solder cream pot, enhancing convenience and safety for pick-and-place operations.
• Advanced Mixing Mechanism: The automatic solder cream mixer moves solder cream downward continuously through centrifugal force generated by revolution and cooperation with energy from rotation at a 45-degree angle of the axis of revolution. Solder cream located in the tank bottom makes upward movement from the surrounding, forming a tornado-funnel shaped stirring action. This process effectively stirs, softens, and defoams the solder cream to achieve appropriate viscosity.

Familiarize yourself with the main components of the ZB500S mixer:

• Handle: For lifting and moving the unit.
• Cover: Protects the mixing area and contains the mixing process.
• Observation Window: Allows visual inspection of the mixing process without opening the cover.
• Spring: Assists in opening and holding the cover.
• Tin Cream Jar Holders: Securely holds the solder paste containers during mixing.
• Buffer: Provides cushioning for the mixing mechanism.
• Lock Catch: Secures the cover in the closed position.
• Timer: Digital display and controls for setting mixing duration.
• Stop Button: Halts the mixing process.
• Start Button: Initiates the mixing process.
• On/Off Switch: Main power control for the unit.
• Foot: Provides stable support for the mixer.

4. Setup and Installation

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the mixer from its packaging. Inspect for any damage incurred during shipping.
2. Placement: Place the mixer on a stable, level surface capable of supporting its weight (approximately 45kg). Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation and operation.
3. Power Connection: Connect the power cord to a grounded electrical outlet with the correct voltage as specified in the technical parameters. Ensure the On/Off switch is in the "Off" position before connecting.
4. Initial Inspection: Open the cover and ensure there are no foreign objects inside the mixing area. Close the cover and ensure the lock catches are securely fastened.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Solder Cream: Ensure the solder cream is in its original sealed container (standard 500g solder cream bottle, diameter Φ60-Φ67mm). Do not open the container.
2. Load Solder Cream: Open the mixer cover. Carefully place the solder cream container(s) into the designated tin cream jar holders. Ensure they are seated securely. The mixer can accommodate two tanks.
3. Close Cover: Close the mixer cover firmly until the lock catches engage. Ensure it is fully secured before proceeding.
4. Set Mixing Time: Use the timer controls on the front panel to set the desired mixing duration. The timer can be set from 0.01 seconds to 99 hours and 99 seconds. Refer to your solder paste manufacturer's recommendations for optimal mixing times.
5. Start Mixing: Press the "Start" button to begin the mixing cycle. The machine will operate smoothly with low noise.
6. Monitor Process: You can observe the mixing process through the observation window.
7. Stop Mixing: The mixer will automatically stop once the set time has elapsed. To manually stop the process at any time, press the "Stop" button.
8. Unload Solder Cream: Once mixing is complete and the machine has stopped, open the cover and carefully remove the solder cream container(s).

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ZB500S mixer.

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the exterior of the machine with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth with mild detergent, then dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Internal Inspection: Periodically inspect the internal mixing area for any solder paste residue or debris. Clean as needed, ensuring no foreign material interferes with the mixing mechanism.
• Lubrication: No user-serviceable lubrication points are typically required. Refer to professional service if any moving parts appear stiff.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the mixer in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Safety Devices: Periodically check the functionality of the safety lock catches and the emergency stop button.
