Detail Information:

1, Part Name: KIC Explorer KIC Start/ KIC 2000

2, Model: 7, 9 or 12 channels is option

3, Application: e real-time solder reflow process setup and optimization tools

4, Brand: KIC

5, The KIC 2000 software features minimal initial setup and a radically simplified operator interface      that eliminates tedious board mapping and oven measuring.

KIC Profilers use different technology to complete its task of running profiles. The main difference between it and
other profilers is the following:
• Air thermocouple – For all profiles run with the KIC 2000 software the thermocouple plugged into the first
channel on the SlimKIC 2000 or KIC Explorer must be the Air TC. This TC is positioned 1-inch in front of the
leading edge of the board for all profiles run using KIC 2000 software.
• Trigger temperatures – KIC Profilers use trigger temperatures to start and stop the profile. The Start
temperature is defaulted to 5 degrees above the Maximum Product Start temperature. See Global Preferences
for this setting.
• Hardware Monitor – The combination of the KIC Profiler and the KIC 2000 software closely monitors the
KIC Profilers battery, internal temperature and the product temperature even before you start a profile. There
are built-in checks in the software to insure that the product and KIC Profliler are cool enough and battery
voltage sufficient to complete a profile safely. As well it will offer troubleshooting suggestions if there is a
problem with communication or thermocouple attachment.
• Perfect Data – Through patent pending technology the KIC Profiler (RF models only) is able to get you
perfect data every time. At the completion of a profile the KIC Profiler wirelessly retransmits the data it has
stored in its memory. This insures the integrity of the data, especially if there were any interruptions in the
transmission during the profile.

Minimum PC Requirements

Note: All KIC software options require a software key. Once connected the KIC 2000 software automatically
enable the various functions associated with each software option.
Software Tools
• Navigator –The Navigator software option automatically finds the optimal oven setup for each product you
profile.
• Auto-Focus –Auto Focus calculates the ideal initial oven recipe allowing you to avoid conventional oven setup
pitfalls.
• Power – Optional feature for use with Navigator and/or Auto-Focus options. Power optimizes your profiles
and/or initial oven settings based on reduced energy savings (instead of reduced PWI value) .
• SPC – Displays SPC (Statistical Process Control) data, specifically CpK values for selected profiles.
• Virtual Profiling – Using MVP hardware this option calculates the products (virtual) thermal profile each time
the fixture is run through the reflow oven.
Hardware Fixtures and Accessories
• Wave Surfer – Wave solder machine profiling fixture. A robust fixture designed with embedded thermocouples
that measure the performance of the wave solder machine each time a pass is made.
• MVP- (Manual Virtual Profile) Solder Reflow machine profiling fixture that can calculate a products (virtual)
thermal profile. Note: This hardware option requires a software key.
• MVP Expandable Carrier – Used to transport the MVP fixture through reflow ovens that have pin and
chain conveyor systems. Expands to accommodate the widths of multiple products
• Lead Free Thermal Shield – Optional thermal shield used with the SlimKIC 2000 for elevated process
temperatures associated with Lead Free thermal processes.
• Thermocouples – KIC offers thermocouples rated for use up to 400ºC. Standard KIC thermocouples shipped
with all KIC profiler are rated to 300ºC.
• KIC Carrier – Optional accessory for the SlimKIC 2000 that carries the SlimKIC 2000 profiler through the
oven. Used when no belt conveyor is present
