Congratulations!
You have the world’s most sophisticated thermal profilers at your service!
KIC’s Thermal Profilers
The SlimKIC 2000 and KIC Explorer are real-time solder reflow process setup and optimization tools.
They feature a more robust hardware configuration than any other profilers on the market. The KIC
Profilers configuration guarantees a perfect profile every time by both transmitting data in real-time as it
passes through the process and simultaneously recording the data internally. When the KIC Profiler has
completed its run through the process, the internally logged profile is automatically wirelessly downloaded,
filling in any gaps that may have occurred due to broken transmission of the real-time profile. The wireless
download feature ensures that every profile run is a good one, and that it will never be necessary to hold up
production to run a second profile.
The KIC 2000 software features minimal initial setup and a radically simplified operator interface
that eliminates tedious board mapping and oven measuring. The software is designed to be completely
intuitive and require very little training. It comes with an updateable database of hundreds of popular
solder pastes, which allows you to automatically select the specs for the paste you’re using. A series of
screens with clear explanatory graphics guides you through the profiling process from beginning to end,
and if the profiling is being done with one of the selected ovens that communicate with the KIC software,
the software automatically changes the oven set points to your profile.
The KIC Navigator Software Option
The KIC Navigator is significantly improved automated prediction tool which allows you to predict how
changes to belt speed and oven set points will affect a product profile. The KIC Navigator can create and
evaluate billions of potential product profiles, automatically selecting the profile and oven setup that
best fits the Process Window. This automated prediction tool is exponentially more powerful and accurate
than any tool currently on the market and allows you to find the optimal profile in about a minute. The
automated prediction tool is designed to center the profile in your process window, and you may set the
limits to fit your process.
Perhaps the most significant feature of the KIC 2000 and the KIC Navigator is that it ranks your profiles
using the Process Window Index. This allows you to compare performance between processes and, more
importantly, to be assured that you have found the most robust and reliable profile for a given product that
your oven can achieve.
If you didn’t order the KIC Navigator with your KIC Profiler, be sure to ask your KIC Representative for
a demonstration of this breakthrough technology.
Auto-Focus Software Option
The KIC Auto-Focus is a computer simulation software option available for the KIC 2000 software. This
option eliminates the need to “guess” at an initial oven recipe; instead Auto-Focus calculates the ideal oven
recipe allowing you to avoid conventional oven setup pitfalls. Auto-Focus gets smarter with every profile
you run, providing you with increasingly accurate oven recipes.
Navigator and Auto-Focus Power Software Options
The Power option optimizes you profiles based on reduced energy usage. Studies have shown that many
reflow ovens and wave machines consume more energy than required in order to process the products in
spec. The KIC Navigator and Auto-Focus” Power” options identify the oven or wave solder recipes that
consume the least amount of energy while processing the products in spec. The end result is improved
quality at reduced energy costs.
It’s recommended to read this manual entirely before attempting to run profiles of any Application type.

KIC 2000 Profiler Hardware
The KIC 2000 software can be used with 2 different KIC profilers the SlimKIC 2000 and the KIC Explorer.
The KIC 2000 software is designed to operate the same regardless of what profiler is being used. Upon
software installation the user selects the KIC profiler that they are using. Then the software will depict
profiler-model specific text and artwork for your KIC profiler.
The KIC 2000 profiler comes standard with 9 thermocouple channels, 12 channels optional, and is available
as a Data Logger, or RF model. Available accessories include Wave Surfer, KIC Carrier, and various
thermal shields. See the SlimKIC 2000 section for more information, page 92.
Figure 1: Example SlimKIC 2000 product kit
The KIC Explorer comes with your choice of 12 or 7 channels models. As a standard feature, the
KIC Explorer has 12 thermocouple inputs. The miniature-TC harness design makes this possible. If you
prefer to use Type-K thermocouples, the KIC Explorer is available in a standard Type-K, 7-channel model
as well. See the KIC Explorer section for more information, page 96.
Figure 2: Example KIC Explorer 12 Channel product kit
Both the 12 and 7 channel KIC Explorer models can be used as a data logger and with the additional RF
hardware they can both communicate wirelessly with the KIC 2000 software.
Throughout this user manual both KIC Profilers will be discussed. Where applicable the differences
between KIC Profilers and there features will be outlined.
KIC 2000 User Manual
KIC 2000 v2.4.0.x
KIC Profiler Technology
The KIC Profiler uses 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 SlimKIC 2000 is able to get you perfect data
every time. At the completion of a profile the SlimKIC 2000 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.

Installing or Changing the Battery in your KIC Profiler
SlimKIC 2000:
Figure 3
Figure 4
Figure 5
To install or change the battery or for calibration of the SlimKIC 2000 profiler you will have to unscrew the
battery cover from the bottom side of the SlimKIC 2000. This will require a small Flathead screwdriver.
See Figure 3. The screw has a retaining clip to keep it in place so it will not come all the way out. Just
loosen it enough so the cover comes free. See Figure 4. Remove the battery cover. See Figure 5.
There is a white connector for a 9-volt battery. Once you have connected the battery, slip the battery back
in, placing the connector end in first. Then replace the cover and tighten the Battery cover. See the
SlimKIC 2000 hardware section of this manual for calibration details, page 94.

KIC Explorer:
Figure 6: KIC Explorer Battery install/replacement
The KIC Explorer uses 3 standard alkaline AAA sized batteries. KIC recommends the use of standard
alkaline batteries; however you can use other types including rechargeable batteries.
If you experience negative effects using other types of batteries or discover your KIC Explorer is not
operating properly, then switch back to standard alkaline batteries. If problems persist, contact KIC
Technical Support: tech@kicmail.com.
Battery Life
The KIC Explorer is very efficient on battery usage. Independent tests show that a standard set of alkaline
batteries will last more than 25 hours while operating at room temperature. Operating temperatures can
affect battery performance.
Batteries and Temperature
The KIC Explorer is designed to pass through ovens that will cause the batteries inside the KIC Explorer to
heat up. Since the batteries have a high heat capacity they will tend to continue to heat even after the
KIC Explorer has exited the oven.
Even if the KIC Explorer has cooled sufficiently to allow the user to run another profile, the battery may
not have cooled down as low as the KIC Explorer.
In the event the KIC Explorer batteries become heated during use and you wish to run another profile, KIC
suggests substituting a different (room temperature) cooler set of batteries before the next profile is run.
This will allow the user to run more frequent profiles without the chance of overheating the batteries or the

KIC Explorer. The Stainless Steel thermal shield has no outer insulation and measures 1/8” lower
in Height than the Cool Touch shield.
Important Note about KIC Explorers and Thermal shields:
Both the 7 channel and 12 channel KIC Explorers are not intended to be used without a KIC
approved thermal shield and must remain inside their thermal shield at all times during use or
during the KIC Explorer calibration procedure. Failing to do so will yield inaccurate temperature
data and/or an inaccurate PWI value.
Loading the KIC Explorer into the Thermal Shield
12 Channel -KIC Explorer – Place the KIC Explorer into bottom half of the KIC Explorer thermal shield.
•
The Mini-TC harnesses should rest flat on the metal block inside the shield.
•

Top and Bottom Set points are the Same – If your settings always have the top and bottom set points the
same, check this. The bottom set point will automatically be entered as you enter the top set point.
Different top and bottom set points
The software gives you the ability to enter separate top and bottom zone set points, and have them
displayed on the graph. And, when used with the Navigator, it will maintain the top and bottom offset in its
prediction. During the Run a Profile routine, when you get to the screen where you enter in the zone set
points, there is a check box for Top and Bottom Set points are the same. Deselect that checkbox if you are
running different top and bottom set points. Either way, using the same or different top and bottom set
points, the graph will always display a top and bottom set point values.
Zone Temperature fields – You will have a field for input of the temperature setting for each zone based
on the Number of Zones you enter at the top. For more than six zones you will have to scroll over to enter
the temperatures.

Zone Length and Minimum/Maximum Temperature Settings
Figure 45: Run a Profile screen #3
By defualt the KIC 2000 software assumes each temperature zone in your oven is the same length. For
better profile display and profile prediction capabilities (Navigator) the user can manually enter the correct
zone lengths. See Figure 45.
Minimum and Maximum Set point Temperatures
This setting is used by the Navigator option as limits for it’s prediction results. The KIC 2000 softawre
uses default settings of: 70ºC min, and 300ºC max.
Enter the Minimum and Maximum temperature settings that your oven can control to. See Figure 45. This
will help the Navigator option maximize it’s prediction results.
Zone lengths – Deselct the chcek box if your zone lengths are not the same. Enter the acutal length for
each zone.
If your oven has non-uniform sized zones or has a large gap between some of your zones you will need
to edit the lengths to increase the accuracy of the predictions of the KIC 2000 software.
Oven Initialization File
For every oven you create a name for in the software an initialization file is created. This file is given the
name that you give your oven with a .kiccfg extension. This file will be located in
C:\KIC Profiler 2000\Ovens.
This file holds information about the zones in your oven, for the use by the KIC 2000 prediction algorithm.
By default the software will start with the following assumptions unless changed by the user:
•
The zones are uniform and consecutive with no large gaps between them.
•
The maximum rising temperature difference between any two consecutive heated zones is 50 degrees
Celsius.
•
The maximum falling temperature difference between any two consecutive heated zones is 20 degrees
Celsius.
•
The maximum valley temperature difference between any 3 consecutive heated zones is 20 degrees.

Once the oven has stabilized and you are ready to load the profiler and profile board into the oven select the
Green Traffic Light button.
•
Depending on the settings in the SlimKIC 2000 or KIC Explorer and in the software you may have
to initialize the profiler at times. The KIC 2000 software will let you know when this is necessary.
This is done by attaching the cable from the receiver to the back of the SlimKIC 2000 or by
connecting the communication cable direclty to the KIC Explorer. Click on OK when it gives the
message that the initialization was successful. You will then be able to continue as normal.
•
After you select on the Profile Start button
the software will ask if all the oven control
thermocouples are within 2 degrees of the
set point value. See Figure 56.
¾
If you choose Yes, you will proceed to the next
profile sequence screen.
¾
If you choose NO, it will ask you to let the oven stabilize. If
the oven has stabilized and it still is not within 2 degrees of
the set values, your oven is not able to control to those oven
settings. Set the control temperatures it can control, return to
the Main Screen and start the profile over. See Figure 57.

Follow the on-screen instructions for best results
If your answer is YES it will prompt you to place the KIC
Profiler and profile board into the oven. See Figure 58.
The maximum operating temperature for the
SlimKIC 2000 profiler is 105°C/220°F. If your
process temperatures will cause the SlimKIC to
exceed this limit then DO NOT place the profiler
into the oven.
Figure 57
The maximum operating temperature for the
KIC Explorer profiler is 85°C/185°F. If your
process temperatures will cause the KIC Explorer
to exceed this limit then DO NOT place the
profiler into the oven.
Trailing Wire Profiling
The SlimKIC 2000 and KIC Explorer profilers can be used with
elongated thermocouples or a thermocouple extension long enough
to pass through the process. This is especially useful for low
clearance processes or higher temperature processes that would
normally cause a KIC profiler to overheat while inside the oven.
If you plan to keep the SlimKIC 2000 or KIC Explorer connected
during the profile, ignore any message to unplug the download
cable from the profiler. At the end of the profile, be sure and leave
the product TC's connected long enough to achieve the profile-stop
trigger value, 110°C, otherwise the profile will not complete.
Leave the product TC’s connected until the download has
completed and the KIC 2000 asks you to turn off the KIC profiler.

• The current oven temperature set points and conveyor speed for this profile is displayed beneath
the Statistics table.
Temperature Triggers
The KIC 2000 software uses temperature triggers for the SlimKIC 2000 and KIC Explorer profilers to
determine when the profile is started, and when it ends. The use of temperature triggers makes it so that the
user does not have to worry about starting the profile a specific point or time. Instead the profile is started
at the same temperature and ends at the same point each time you profile, making the profile data collection
process easy and consistent.
The default temperature triggers are as follows for each respective Application type:
Wave Solder - Wave On
Profile start
33ºC/92ºF
Mid trigger
110ºC/230ºF
Profile end
90ºC/194ºF

Semiconductor
Profile start
33ºC/92ºF
Mid trigger
130ºC/266ºF
Profile end
110ºC/230ºF
The default trigger values should be fine for most processes. The Profile start-trigger is determined by the
Maximum Product Temperature at Start of Profile setting in the Global Preferences screen. The start
trigger value is always 2ºC above this setting.
In the event that the mid-trigger, or end trigger values need to be changed, or you feel that you are
experiencing a problem related to temperature triggers please contact KIC Technical support,
tech@kicmail.com.
For Temperature vs. Time profiling, trigger temperatures are not used. Instead a Profile Stop button is
displayed in the bottom-Right hand corner of the profile graph screen.
KIC 2000 Profile Retransmission
For users of the SlimKIC 2000 or KIC Explorer thermal profilers with RF capability.
While the KIC Profiler transmits the live profile data to the KIC 2000 software; it simultaneously stores the
profile data in its memory.
Once the KIC profiler detects that all of the thermocouples have cooled below the profile-end trigger value,
it will begin retransmitting the profile data to the KIC 2000 software via the SlimKIC 2000 receiver or
KIC Explorer Base Station. When retransmission begins, the KIC profiler will send the profile in data
packets. The retransmission status is displayed at the bottom of the screen. See Figure 60.

Manual Profile Prediction
The KIC 2000 software has automatic (Navigator), and Manual Prediction capabilities. The standard
KIC 2000 software installation includes Manual Prediction capabilities.
Manual Prediction gives the user the flexibility to easily predict changes to the oven settings (temperature
settings, conveyor speed), and view the results without having to spend the time actually running the
profile. This feature is very helpful to the user, minimizing the time spent fine tuning or developing a
thermal profile.
Original/Predicted set points – Manual Prediction
Figure 66
Original/Predicted set points – Navigator (Optional)
Figure 67
This is an example of how the KIC 2000 software (standard and with Navigator) lists the PWI, and oven
settings for the profile. This table is divided into the original section (top), and the Predicted section
(bottom). See Figure 66.
The original values represent the oven settings at the time the profile was run. The predicted values
represent the prediction results as determined by the Navigator software.
If you purchased the Navigator software option, the KIC 2000 software will automatically generate results
that are best suited for the selected Process Window. In the event you wish to modify the prediction results
of the Navigator, you can do so. See Figure 68.
To predict changes to the oven settings, or modify the Navigator prediction results, click on the zone you
wish to change. In the example below, zone 1 has been selected. See Figure # 68.

Type the new temperature setting, and then press Enter. The Navigator will predict the results of that
change, and then automatically update the PWI, predicted Statistics, and the profile graph. The new
predicted results will be displayed on the graph in a dotted-line format. This format enables the user to
easily determine the difference between the original and predicted profiles. See Figure 69.

Wave Solder Profiling
The SlimKIC 2000 and KIC Explorer profiles can be used to measure wave solder profiles. Profiling wave
solder machines using a KIC profiler is very similar to profiling a solder reflow oven. The KIC 2000
software will guide you through the profiling process.
KIC does not recommend installing this software on an oven controller PC if you plan on running wave
solder profiles. Contact KIC for instructions should the need arise. tech@kicmail.com.
Wave Surfer Profiling Device
KIC offers a wave solder accessory for the SlimKIC
2000 called the Wave Surfer. See Figure 84.
The Wave Surfer has embedded thermocouples that
give wave specific data including conveyor speed
each time you run it through your wave solder
machine.
Using the KIC 2000 software Wave Surfer users can
collect profile and wave data and using the
Navigator option optimize their process.
Figure 84: Wave Surfer Device
The Wave Surfer simplifies wave soldering profiling. The device is used to routinely check the wave
machine. Using the Process Window Index, the machines performance is measured each time a pass is
made based on the user selected Process Window.

KIC 2000 software Wave Solder Profiling
This section will outline the steps necessary to setup and run a wave solder profile using your KIC Profiler
and KIC 2000 software. This section is written assuming the user has a basic understanding of the
KIC 2000 software and its functions before attempting to profile a wave solder machine.
Global Preferences
Unit of Measure - Wave solder machines generally use the Fahrenheit scale for preheat and solder pot
temperature measurements. If necessary change the temperature units to Fahrenheit.
Product Start Temperature – This temperature setting can be changed. It is up to the user to determine
what temperature setting will work best for their process.
Maximum Product Temperature at Start of Profile – This setting will determine the maximum product
temperature before the software will allow the user to start a profile. If any of the thermocouples connected
to the KIC Profiler or your product measure above this setting, the software will not allow the user proceed.
You will be prompted with a message stating that one of the selected TC’s is not reading valid
temperatures. You will have to wait till the thermocouple or the object your thermocouples are connected
to cools below this temperature setting before the KIC 2000 will allow you to proceed. This software
feature helps the user to collect consistent profile data by always beginning the profile with the same or
nearly the same product temperatures.
The KIC 2000 software also uses this setting to determine the profile start - temperature trigger value. The
profile start–temperature trigger is always set 2ºC above the “Maximum product temperature at start of
profile”. If the Maximum product temperature at start of profile is set to 31ºC, the profile start–
temperature trigger is automatically set to 33ºC, which is the default setting. When the Air TC reads above
33ºC, the profile will begin.
Process Window
The KIC 2000 software currently does not contain a list of fluxes or materials used specifically for wave
soldering; only a list of solder pastes generally associated with solder reflow. In most situations, users
defining a Process Window for a wave solder process will have to define their own specifications.
Select the line item at the top of the list- Define your own spec from the Solder paste Menu. You will be
automatically directed to the Edit Specs window where you can enter your unique process specifications.
Enter your process specifications, when finished; select the Green check button.
If you have followed the above directions, you should be looking at the Process Window screen. If you are
satisfied with the settings and wish to apply these specifications to all the thermocouples used, type a
descriptive name in the top field and select the Green check button. Select Yes when prompted to save the
Process Window file.
If you want to use different specifications for one or more thermocouples, you can do so.
Note: When running wave solder profiles with the” wave on”, KIC Profilers utilize two Wave TC’s in
addition to the Air TC to collect wave specific data. The Wave TC’s will connect to channels #2, 3 on the
KIC profiler. See the “Connecting Wave TC’s” section of this manual for details, page 58.

Entering Temperature Set Points and Conveyor Speed
If you typed a new oven name, the KIC 2000 software requires you to enter the number of heated zones or
pre-heat zones in your wave solder machine.
See Figure 87.
If your process requires different top and
bottom set points, deselect the check box
labeled Top and Bottom set points are the
same This will allow the user to enter
different values for top and bottom heaters in
each zone. If your oven has top and bottom
heaters, but not in all of the heated zones,
just enter the same value as the actual set
point in that zone for both the top and
bottom setting.
This is also were you will enter the
temperature settings for each zone or preheater in your wave solder machine and the
conveyor speed setting. In the field marked
Solder temperature enter the setting for the
solder pot temperature from your wave
solder machine.
When you have finished entering this
information select the Forward Arrow button
to continue.

Zone length, Minimum and Maximum Temperature settings
If you typed a new oven name, the KIC 2000
software also requires you to enter the length
of each zone as well as the minimum and
maximum zone temperature settings. This
information will help the KIC 2000 software
narrow the possibilities of prediction results
that your oven can actually achieve. See
Figure 88.
For wave solder processes you are required
to enter the distance from the end of the last
preheat zone to the beginning of the main
wave. Enter this value in the field labeled

Connecting the Air TC
The next screen shows directions for attaching the Air
TC to your product. It is important to follow these
instructions. See Figure 89.
The Air TC starts and stops the profile automatically,
measures the oven, and provides useful profile
information.
In certain processes it may be beneficial to wrap the end
of the Air TC with tape to give it more surface area.
KIC recommends wrapping the Air TC when profiling:
• Wave Solder.
• Anytime IR heat is present.

Temperature Triggers
The KIC 2000 software and profilers use temperature triggers to start and stop the profile automatically.
The default KIC 2000 temperature triggers are as follows: See Table 2.
Wave Solder-Wave Off
Profile start
33ºC/92ºF
Mid trigger
130C/266F
Profile end
110C/230F
Wave Solder-Wave On
Profile start
33ºC/92ºF
Mid trigger
110ºC/230ºF
Profile end
90ºC/194ºF
Table 2
The default trigger values should be fine for most processes. The Profile Start-trigger is determined by the
Maximum product temperature at start of profile setting in the Global Preferences screen. The start trigger
value is always 2ºC above this setting.
In the event that the mid-trigger, or end trigger values need to be changed, contact KIC Technical support,
tech@kicmail.com.
Profile Retransmission
For users of the SlimKIC 2000 or KIC Explorer profilers with RF transmit capability.
While the KIC Profiler transmits the live profile data to the SlimKIC Receiver or KIC Explorer Base
Station; it simultaneously stores the profile data in its memory.
Once the KIC Profiler detects that all of the thermocouples have cooled below the profile-end trigger
temperature, it will begin retransmitting the profile data to the KIC 2000 software via RF. The KIC
Profiler will send the profile in data packets. The retransmission status is displayed at the bottom of the
screen. See Figure 101.
Figure 101: KIC Profiler RF model only
When all of the data packets have been received, the software will display a message asking you to turn the
KIC Profiler off, choose OK. Failing to turn your KIC Profiler off will drain the battery.
Next, the KIC 2000 software will automatically analyze the profile data and presents the profile and profile
statistics. If you purchased the Navigator option, the predicted oven settings will be displayed as well.
If the Air TC or either Wave TC does not touch the wave(s), the KIC 2000 software will display an error
message: See Figure 102.
