      We are a pcb assembly company and need to perform the ROSE test on incoming pcbs. We have an OM600 SMD system that has been in storage here for a few years. We need to set this up and get it going again. We dusted it off and everything looks good, but we don’t have any manuals. Does anyone know where to start?

        First, contact Scientific Solutions for a manual (pn:841042). We had a OM600 we upgraded to the OM620 SMD.
        I talked to the support guys at Scientific Solutions, and they got my system running. They know how these things work.

        At any rate, You should check the plumbing and test-cell for cracks. Next check if you have solvent in the reservoir. The reservoir is located inside the cabinet and has a site glass that shows the solvent level. I think you need at least 5 gallons and depending on the size of the test-cell, you may need 11 gallons. The solvent probably lost a lot of alcohol, so If you do not have enough solvent, you can add distilled water, by pouring the water into the test-cell and opening the drain solenoid.

        Run the pumps for a while and observe if there are any leaks.
        Once you have established there are no leaks, replace the 75I solvent(pn:301196) and DI filters (pn:31173).

        That should get your machine running, but to verify the test results, you will need:
        #3 standardizing solution (pn:301180)
        5ml syringe (pn:301182)
        Thermomitor
        Hydrometer

        Also check your printer for paper and ribbon
        I thought Scientific Solutions had a kit that contains the essentials, but I could not find it on their website.

        Good luck!
