TROUBLESHOOTING CONNECTIONS
The 5 pin socket can be tested to detect faults in the hand piece:
Before plugging in the hand piece conduct the
continuity test as shown:
If any of the combination registers a short
review the steps in “replacing the heating element”
to ensure proper connections.

Warning: Ensure none of the above mentioned conditions are
present before plugging in the hand piece. Failure to do so can
damage the internal circuitry of the unit.
Follow the following direction to test for hand piece cord
faults:
Test 1: Rendering physical strain to the cord
1. Turn on the unit.
2. Set temperature to 480 °C.
3. Bend and straiten the entire length of the cord bit by bit. The
heater lamp should always be lit while doing so. If the heater
lamp becomes intermittent the cord is faulty and should be
replaced.
Test 2: Resistance test
1. Follow the steps in disassembling the hand piece .
2. Test for continuity between the pins and colored wires at the hand
piece PCB, all matching contacts at the PCB and wires should
register
0
to 2
Ω
.
Note: the Heater lamp will blink if the temperature of the soldering iron tip has
reached the set temperature i.e. 480°C. this is not an indication of a faulty cord.
