==Description==
The ProtoFlow S N2 is LPKF's premiere convection oven, ideal for lead-free reflow soldering, meeting the stringent demands of rapid PCB soldering applications. The ProtoFlow S N2 features even heat distribution, easy programming, and many pre-defined temperature profiles. The compact design and efficient power consumption make it one of the most useful components in any rapid PCB prototyping environment. {{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zsvn2-WkZLk}}

====Overview====
====Operation====
The Reflow Oven bakes PCBs to harden the traces and pads where components are laid. It's just like your oven at home with a few extra accessories, like preset profiles that adjust the temperature and time based on the ink/paste you put on your board.

# Power the Reflow Oven on by pressing the power button on the front.
# Power the Reflow Oven on by pressing the power button on the front.
# Select the respective ink/paste on the LCD Display. You can scroll through the options using the Up and Down keys. The Left key goes back, and the Right key selects. In this specific instance, V1 Ink is selected. Recall that each dispenser is assigned to a color. Green is V1 Ink, Orange is V1 Paste, and Blue is Sn63Pb37.[[File:bake_ink_selection.jpg|300x300px|none|link=https://maker-hub.georgefox.edu/wiki/File:Bake_ink_selection.jpg]]
# Select the respective ink/paste on the LCD Display. Different inks and pastes have different heat cycles, so it is important that you choose the right one.

# The tray will automatically open to initiate the cool down phase. At the end of this process, the traces and pads will harden. '''DO NOT remove the board until the oven says all the stages are complete. DANGER: The rails are HOT!'''
# When cool down is complete, remove the board from the oven, and turn off the oven.
# When cool down is complete, remove the board from the oven, and turn off the oven.
==Safety==
==Safety==
# '''Never''' place anything in front of the oven door inside of the yellow striped area. This could result in severe damage to the oven.
# Under no circumstances may the lab be left unattended for more than a brief minute while the oven is running.
# Always follow the instructions on the LCD Display. It is your guide that keeps you safe.
# Always follow the instructions on the LCD Display. It is your guide that keeps you safe.
# When the tray opens up after baking a board, be patient and let the board cool down. If you handle it while it is too hot, it can burn you and shift your components (not good).
