Ersa i-CON
VARIO 2
Functional description
Ersa desoldering tips are modelled on the meniscus of the solder joint so as to ensure
optimal heat transfer. Select the internal diameter of the desoldering tip in such a way
that a small annular clearance of about 0.1 to 0.2 mm is left between the connection to
be desoldered and the exhaust duct, so as to be able to suction the solder residues.
6.2.6.3
Desoldering with X‑TOOL VARIO
■
Run the tip of the desoldering iron over the component pin to be desoldered.
■
Wait a short while until the solder that connects the component connector with the
terminal pad is completely melted.
■
Now, activate the vacuum by pressing the corresponding button. The solder is im
-
mediately conveyed through the soldering tip into the residual solder pot.

Maintenance and servicing X‑TOOL VARIO
CAUTION! Material damage is possible!
Only use Ersa original spare parts and consumables to ensure safe operation and war
-
ranty coverage.
Important care work
•
Make sure that the desoldering tip is always tin‑plated.
•
Wipe the desoldering tip, if necessary, before desoldering to remove flux material
and solder residues with the dry cleaner or a damp sponge.
•
Tin‑plate the tip again before desoldering; this improves heat transfer and reduces
desoldering time.
•
Now and then clean the soldering duct using the included tip cleaner. This tool can
loosen and remove flux material and solder residues.
•
Change the filter in good time.
•
Now and then use a new silicone holder, making sure it is made of high quality sili
-
cone. Due to temperature load, materials age and sealability is reduced.
•
Make sure that ventilation openings do not become ineffective due to dust deposits.
Replacing pre‑filters
If a pre‑filter is dirty, it must be replaced. To do so, please follow these steps:
■
Remove the X‑TOOL VARIO from the pre‑filter.
■
Remove the pre‑filter from the vacuum connection of the control station.
■
Insert a new pre‑filter.
■
Re‑install the X‑VARIO TOOL hose on the pre‑filter.
Clean the residual solder pot
CAUTION! Risk of burning!
The residual solder pot can heat up during desoldering. Let the tool cool down to room
temperature before removing the residual solder pot. Place a warm residual solder pot
only on heat resistant surfaces.
