Series Soldering Systems
The BVX-250 Series Fume Extraction System can communicate with a connected Metcal
CV or GT Series soldering system. (A firmware update may be required)
Simply connect a USB-A to USB-A cable between the USB port on the BVX-250 and the
USB port on the CV or GT Series soldering station.
IDLE MODE
When the BVX-250 is connected to a CV or GT soldering system, it will go into idle mode
(indicated by the LED ring turning blue) when the connected soldering system is in an
idle mode. The GT goes into idle/sleep mode when the handpiece does not move for a
set time (selectable). The CV will go into idle/sleep when the tip is in the sleeper stand.
If the BVX is connected to two soldering systems, both systems need to be in idle mode
to trigger idle mode on the extraction system. When the connected soldering station is
no longer in idle/sleep mode, the BVX unit will resume normal fume extraction.
SCREEN ALERTS
The screen on the connected CV or GT soldering system will now display alerts sent
from the fume extraction system that correspond to the messages conveyed by the
LED ring:
