As part of the 2025 Electronics Pledge Drive, a T-962A (v2) reflow oven was purchased.
Process
Note: This may change, as there are plans to flash custom firmware onto the oven's controller.
- Turn on the Electronics Extraction. This should be on before turning the oven on.
- Turn on the oven. The power switch is at the rear of the unit. Once powered on it will show several language options. Use the arrow keys to select your preferred language (presumably English at the bottom), and press the okay button.
- Scroll down to "Select Temp Curve" and press okay. You can scroll through various temperature curves. The first board was done with Curve 3 and turned out ok. Once done you can go back to the previous menu with the okay button.
- Place your board in the middle of the drawer.
- Begin the cycle by selecting "Execute Temp Cruve" followed by the ok button. The oven will begin to ramp up temperature. Once it's done it will start beeping, press the ok button to silence it.
The board will be very hot. Use tweezers to remove, or let it cool down before handling.
Oven Improvements
There are generally a bunch of recommended improvements to make to T-962 and T-962A ovens. The oven was purchased with the intention of making them, but so far, not much has been required. Our oven is the v2 T-962A, which seems to compensate for ambient temperature, provide a nicer user interface, fix issues with grounding, and avoids the use of masking tape in hot areas.
