How to read out the bar code of
the tip into the FM-202:

process gate in the front of the station.
2. Insert the tip until the buzzer sound once.
The display shows
. The LED
indicator will stop flashing. Now the tip
identification number has been stored.
NOTE:
When the buzzer sounds three times is reading error, insert
the tip again.
CAUTION:
Do not insert the tip opposite side or other incompatible tip.
CAUTION:
Do not damage or remove the Tip ID bar code sticker.
Soldering tips have different thermal chara-
cteristics, depending upon their mass, shape, and
surface area. It should be obvious that the tip
temperature at idle will not be the same for a fine
tip as it will be for a heavy chisel tip, although the
set temperature may be the same for each tip. The
FM-202 processor incorporates the ability to
electronically compensate for tip geometry
variations using Tip IDs. Each FM-202 tip style has
a specific Tip ID; whenever a tip is changed, the
Tip ID should be entered into the FM-202 for most
effective process control.
There are two ways to enter Tip ID data into the
FM-202:
See below or page 6 of this manual. This procedure
is the simplest and most common.
See Appendix A of this manual, when the Tip ID is
not readable for some reason.

CAUTION:
When tip is inserting the FM-2021, the process gate cannot
read the bar code. If a tip insert into the process gate while
the tip is already in the FM-2021, buzzer will sound
irregularity. Remove the tip from the FM-2021 for reading the
Tip ID.
