Soldering
Soldering at the right temperature is a prerequisite for obtaining a good
soldering seam. If the temperature is too low the solder will not flow out, also
called cold soldering. At temperatures which are too high the flux vaporizes
making the solder flow badly and the components can be damaged due to
the temperature. Read the solder packaging regarding recommended tempe-
rature. The most common available solder contains 60 % tin and 40 % lead.
Please note!
Use resin filled wire or solder with another form of flux which
is not corrosive. These fluxes consist of colofonium or other kinds of resins
which are dissolved in a kind of dilution. Remaining flux remnants do not
damage the components. When using corrosive fluxes they must be rinsed
off carefully after soldering!
Use
1. Place the soldering station on a hard and durable surface where the air
circulation is good.
. Connect the DIN plug () to the soldering station outlet.
. Place the soldering iron stand (1) in a groove in one of the corners of the
soldering station and set the required slope for the soldering iron.
4. Connect the soldering station power cable to the socket.
5. Turn the soldering station on using the power switch (9). The display
lights up.
6. During warm-up the light ”HEATER ON” is lit. It switches off when the set
temperature has been reached.
7. Read the solder packaging to find out what temperature is suitable.
8. Set the required temperature.
•
Set the display changer [READ SET] to ”SET” and turn the adjusting
knob (10) (clockwise to increase and anticlockwise to decrease the
temperature setting) until the required value is shown on the display.
• Set the display changer [READ SET] to ”READ” to show the current
soldering tip temperature on the display.
• The signal light ”HEATER ON” is on when the thermostat is on and
switches off when the thermostat is off.
9. Wipe off excess tin from the soldering tip onto the slightly dampened
sponge (11) before the soldering station is switched off.
10. Switch off the soldering station using the power switch after soldering.
Disconnect the power cable when the soldering station is not to be in
use. Never leave the soldering station unsupervised when it is on!
