OPERATING GUIDELINES 

 

To let system save the desired sleep timer value into the memory, 

simply   let   go   of   the   adjustment   knob   and   the   system   will 

automatically save the value into CPU memory. 

3.  Turn  on  the  soldering  iron  function  switch  to   start  using  the 

soldering iron. 

4.  The  sleep  timer  will  start  counting  down  once  the  soldering  iron 

function  switch  is  turned  ON  and  no  adjustments  are  made  to 

soldering iron set temperature. 

5.  When  the  timer  expires,   the  soldering  iron  will   shut  down  its 

heater   and   display   three   dashes   “­  ­  ­  “.   This   indicates   the 

soldering iron is in sleep mode. 

6.  To wake the soldering iron simply adjust the temperature knob A3. 

7.  To disable the sleep timer simply set the sleep timer duration to 0. 

8.  Access and disable the sleep feature of the soldering iron: 

 

Turn Soldering iron, SMD and Smoke absorber function switch off. 

 

Press and hold the hot air temperature increase button A6. 

 

The  soldering  iron  display  A2  will  turn  to  “t##”  ,  indicating  it  is 

now on sleep timer adjustment mode. 

 

Turn  the  soldering  iron      adjustment  knob  completely  counter 

clockwise to set timer to “t00”. 

 

let system save the desired sleep timer value into the memory.

 

SOLDERING IRON DIGITAL CALIBRATION 

1.  The soldering iron has a digital calibration feature that allows the 

user to easily adjust the temperature offset of the soldering iron + 

or—50 degrees. 

2.  Rest the calibration number of the soldering iron: 

 

Turn SMD and Smoke absorber function switch off. 

 

Turn Soldering iron function switch on. 

 

Press and hold the hot air temperature increase button A6.

SMD REWORKING 

1.  Ensure All function switches (B1,B2,B3) are in off position. 

2.  With  the  unit  plugged  to  the  main  power  source,  turn  on  the 

system by switching the main power switch on. The panel should 

initially   display   the  product    name  in  a  scrolling  manner  and 

display OFF on panel C2 after.

 

NOTE: 

The product name may scroll more than once upon plugging the 

system  to  the  power  source.  The  system  is  trying  to  determine  the 
appropriate  operating  frequency  based  on  the  user  location.  See  Basic 
Troubleshooting Guide  (page 14­15).

 

2.  Turn ON the

 “SMD Rework” 

function switch, B3. 

3.  The system will start to blow hot air and increase the temperature 

to  90°C,  by  default.  Display  panel,  C2,  shows  the  user­defined 

(set)   temperature   while   display   panel,   C3,   shows   the   actual 

temperature of the system. 

4.  Adjust  air  pressure  by  turning  knob  A1.  It  is  recommended  to 

keep  the  knob  setting  at 3  or  above. It is  also  advised  to  adjust 

the  airflow  level  first  before  increasing  the  air  temperature  to 

avoid  building  of  too  much  heat  on  the  hot  air  gun  thus  burning 

the heating element.

 

NOTE: 

If  air  pressure  knob  is  set  to  minimum  upon  switching  the  SMD 

Rework  ON,  the  system  will  automatically  run  at  average  airflow  to  protect 
the device from excessive heat. The user will gain full control once the knob 
has been adjusted to the desired airflow level.
