Precautions for use
● When taken out of the furnace, the memory unit is very hot. Wear thick cotton gloves or the like,
and use care not to get burned.
● Before starting measurement, be sure to fully cool down the memory unit (to the room temperature).
● When storing the memory unit, be sure to turn OFF the internal power switch.
● If thermocouples are not set to all the channels, measurement error may result. If there is any
channel which is not in use, connect a short pin to the channel. If breaking occurs in any channel
during measurement, memory may become incorrect. In such a case, replace the thermocouple,
and perform measurement again.
● We will assume no responsibility for any trouble that may be caused by the replacement of
rechargeable battery.
● This device is designed to operate on AAA batteries, unable to use with AC adapter.
● When the device is turned on and not measuring, power is automatically turned off after five
minutes.
● Excessive heating of the memory unit can cause trouble. When measuring, use the memory unit
under the condition where the internal temperature will not exceed 80℃.
● The heat-resistant case has a ball catch for locking, on the opposite side of which is the rotating axis
of the thermocouple connector. When opening the heat-resistant case, lift up the opposite end of
the connector.
● There is a clock function inside RCX-S memory unit, supplied date and time during temperature
measurement.
Remove a battery to stop the clock.
Since a battery is disconnected before shipment, please set the clock before use.
For setting, connect the memory unit to a PC, check [Time adjustment] in [Unit Settings] in TMR-1
software and press [OK] button, and adjust the internal clock of the memory unit to the date and
time displayed on TMR-1 software. For more information, please refer to the TMR-1 instruction
manual.
* Be sure to set a watch so that TMR-1 can take in data.

Handling of rechargeable battery
Selection of the battery
There are two different specifications of the “AAA battery" and "Lithium ion batteries".
Please select either when ordering, unable to change the specifications by user.
The memory unit with Lithium ion battery
・When the power is OFF and connect a USB cable to turn it ON.
・When connected to the USB, the power does not turn off.
・When connected to the USB, battery is not exhausted.
（When the optional RCM-O is connected, it is exhausted.）
The memory unit with AAA batteries
・When the power is OFF and connect to USB, the memory is not turned on.
Even when the USB connection and not measuring, the power is turned off after five minutes.
Even when the USB connection, the battery is exhausted.
Be sure to observe the following points:
●The battery you received is not fully charged. Before using, be sure to fully charge the battery.
●Do not attempt to short-circuit the positive (red) and negative (black) terminals with a metal piece, or
the like.
●Do not heat the battery or throw it into fire.
● Do not leave the battery at a place subject to high temperature of 60℃or higher, such as under the
boiling sun, furnace, etc.
●Do not let the battery wet with water. Do not give large shock to the battery or drop it.
● Do not disassemble or remodel it.
● If the fluid inside the battery attaches to the cloth or skin due to breakage, wash the affected portion
with a lot of water at once.

(About Lithium ion batteries)
Batteries may swell as the they deteriorate. This is the lithium battery character, and there is no matter
on safety if they are used properly.
When recharging, please observe the following points to avoid the battery lifetime shortening.
・ We recommend you recharge batteries after the remaining battery charge get low.
・Battery lifetime may shorten by repeating the battery recharging frequently before the remaining
battery charge get low.
・ When a fully-charged battery discharges immediately, it is a sign of a life-exhausted battery.
Please purchase a new battery.

I General Description
I-1 General
The Reflow Checker –Modular Type (RCX-1) is a system in which a heat-resistant memory unit moves
together with the object to be measured inside the conveyor furnace, measures the temperature at a
constant interval and memorizes the data, and an interface unit, when the heat-resistant memory unit is
taken out of the furnace and connected（Bluetooth or USB cable）to this unit, outputs the temperature
profile.
I-2 Features
- High thermal performance, being smaller and lighter (6 points measuremen, width 65mm)
- Unnecessary Interface unit for the data transmission to PC.
Bluetooth enables wireless data transfer to a PC.
- The additional devices spread the width of measurement (Plusα6 channels, PlusαObservation
monitor, PlusαO2 concentration monitor, PlusαAir velocity monitor).
- A battery level indicator.
- Thermocouple disconnection checking function.
- Cooling unit cools down Memory unit rapidly.
I-3 Use environment
Memory unit is the equipment to measure the temperature by traveling in a reflow oven. Note that if the
inside of memory unit becomes very hot, IC, battery, etc. can make internal burst. When measuring, do
not allow the internal temperature to rise above 80℃.
Although the use environment depends on reflow ovens, we examined the test to show a guide profile,
The temperature inside memory unit was under 80℃in the following profile
Reflow oven with eight zones, far infrared radiation and hot air convection method.
Room temp.--->150℃(2℃/s)--->150-175℃(120s)--->175℃--->280℃(1.5℃/s)--->280℃(30s)
Temperature of memory unit before it is put into furnace : Room temperature (35℃or lower)
(* When the inside temperature of memory unit is over 35℃, to protect a memory unit,
the measurement can not be performed.)
