Activating tools
If there are two tools connected to the soldering station, you can activate these alternately by pressing
the i-OP.
A connected i‑TOOL, X‑TOOL VARIO, or CHIP TOOL VARIO is always automatically activated as soon as it
is taken out of the holder.
In the working mode, the soldering tip temperature of the active soldering tool can be directly
changed by turning the i‑OP. This is confirmed by pressing the i‑OP.
With the password protection activated, the nominal value can only be changed via the
parameter mode. The password is needed for this.
For all soldering tools not specially mentioned in these instructions, you should consult
the operating instructions for the corresponding tool.
