GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The information contained in this manual will assist the technician in performing preventive maintenance and
repair of the PACE PRC 2000 Systems. For details on operation of the system, refer to the System Operation &
Maintenance Manual (PACE part number 5050-0313). If you encounter any difficulty operating or repairing
your system, call PACE Customer Service directly at Tel. (301) 490-9860 or FAX (301) 604-9215.
The PRC 2000 is a Process Control System for Universal Assembly and Repair of Electronic Assemblies. The
system combines the latest technology available for all types of component installation/removal, circuit board
preparation and repair into one self-contained workstation.
The SR-4 “Safety Rating” designation on the back panel is your assurance that the PRC 2000 meets or exceeds
all applicable civilian and military standards (including *MIL-STD-2000A, and *WS-6536), EOS/ESD and
worldwide electrical codes. *NOTE - Systems equipped with a special current limiting option (1 meg ohm tip
to ground resistance) comply with EN 100015-1. PACE refers to these systems as "Soft Ground Systems".
The PRC 2000 system is available using power sources in either the 100 VAC version, the 115 VAC version or
the 230 VAC version. The 230 VAC version system (production as of Sept. 1995) bears the CE Conformity
Marking which assures the user that it conforms to all the requirements of council directive EMC 89/336/EEC.

THERMAL MANAGEMENT CENTER
VACUUM AND AIR
Measurements at Front Panel SNAP-VAC and PRESSURE Ports of power source.
Vacuum Rise Time : Evacuates 33 cc (2 cubic inch) volume
to 25 cm Hg. (10 in. Hg.) in 150 ms.
Vacuum: 51 cm Hg. (20 in. Hg.) (nominal)
Pressure: .48 Bar (7 P.S.I.) (nominal, "MAX" setting)
Air Flow: 13 SLPM (0.46 SCFM) maximum
HANDPIECES
Set Temperature Range
of SensaTemp Handpieces: 38°C to 482°C (100°F to 900°F) (see note).
Digital Readout Resolution: ± 1° (°C or °F)
Tip Temperature Stability: ± 1.1°C (± 2°F) at idle from Set Tip Temperature.
NOTE
True minimum and maximum Operating Tip Temperatures may vary
depending on handpiece & tip selection.
EOS/ESD
Tip-To-Ground
Resistance: Less than 5 ohms.
AC Leakage : Less than 2 millivolts RMS from 50Hz to 500Hz.

GENERAL INFORMATION
MICROCHINE
HANDPIECE
Nominal Output
Speed Range: 2,500 rpm, min. to 10,000 rpm, max.
Output Torque: 14 N•mm (2.0 inch-ounces), min.
Speed Regulation: +10/-15% over Line/Load range of 0 to 14 N•mm (0 to 2 inch-ounces)
from low line to high line voltage.
Duty Cycle: Application Dependent. Continuous loading to maximum torque (Status
LED Amber in color) will cause the handpiece case to overheat.
Continuous heavy loading without a cooling period may cause damage
to the handpiece and/or the power source.
Shaft Run-Out at Collet: .13mm (0.005 inches) TIR (Total Indicator Reading) max.
EOS/ESD
Tip-To-Ground
Resistance: Less than 5 ohms.
AC Leakage : Less than 2 millivolts RMS from 50Hz to 500Hz, min.
PULSE PLATE
Output Voltage Range: 0 - 10 volts unfiltered, full wave DC.
PULSE HEAT
Output Voltage Range: 0 - 2.3 VAC RMS
