A miniature Soldering Equipment Analyzer with all of the capabilities and accuracy of larger units is available from Hexacon Electric Company. Its small size makes it so extremely portable that the G310 can be used to test any soldering equipment at any location-any time the user wishes.

The G310 operates on a 9V battery and comes equipped with a storage case. It weighs less than 1 pound and the 6" x 3 1/2" unit fits comfortably in the operator's hand.Anyone can use the G310. No special training is required. All test results are digitally displayed on the unit. An interface port for chart recording or a data logger is also provided, if permanent test records are desired.

With the iron at full heat, the G310 will test tip temperature, ESD resistance and voltage leakage. It can also be used for bench solder pots and soldering machines. Optional thermocouple probe and test leads are available for testing solder pots and soldering machines. Tip temperature can be measured on all makes and styles of soldering tools by either of two methods. The G310 provides a true temperature measurement with an embedded thermocouple. A contact pyrometer test can also be used for an approximate tip temperature measurement. ESD and voltage leakage tests are performed by touching the heated tip of the iron to a shim stock test coupon on the unit.

Because of its small size and battery operated convenience, the G310 is the ideal instrument for testing soldering equipment for compliance with the newest Military Specifications DOD-STD-2000-1B Notice 1, issue Jan. 15, 1987, MIL-S-45743E and WS-6536E-SCN-3.
