Exchange of the filter cartridge in the dryer glass
During operation of the unit, the gas flowing through the unit is
dried in the filter cartridge (
see illustration 8.1.3.C.
). After a
certain period of time the filter cartridge is saturated with liquid
and must be exchanged. We recommend to exchange the filter
cartridge approx. once per year depending on the operating
hours.
Carefully read and observe the safety instructions in
section 8.1. (e.g. protection goggles and gloves) before you
carry out this maintenance work!

Service indications (display)
During operation of a soldering unit the anodes and cathodes
wear out. Therefore, the gas drawing hours are measured by
the control of the unit to ensure safe operation.
The service level can be called by switching over the display.
Show service level
Press the key
at the operating panel to indicate the gas
drawing hours and the service level:
„100 %“ service level is the standard status of the unit when
delivered or when the unit has been serviced. The reactor
should be serviced every two years or when a service level of
„0 %“ is indicated.
When the unit must be serviced, this is indicated by a signal
tone and by the display:
Service interval
has run down!
The signal tone can be silenced by pressing any key. Operation
of the unit may continue for a limited period of time.
Please contact your supplier or the manufacturer.
Caution: The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any
damage on persons, or for damage on the equipment
