Functional description
6.3.7
Calibrating the i‑CON VARIO 2
On the i‑CON VARIO 2 two calibration functions are available, which are tool‑dependent can be
separately selected and adapted where necessary:
•
Tip offset function and
•
calibration function.
The Tip offset function is not available for a connected i‑TOOL.
The following procedure is required to correctly calibrate the soldering station: First one must enter
the tip used on the soldering tool (see section 6.3.6 [Tip offset]). Thereafter the station is able to
automatically determine, regulate and display the correct tip temperature. If the tip offset is not
specified correctly, the soldering tip may become unusable due to premature overheating.
By using the calibrating temperature (see section 6.3.4 [Calibration temperature]), the actual tip
temperature is made tally with the temperature displayed. The following procedure must strictly be
followed when calibrating:
■
Adjusting the tip offset of the tip used (chapter [Tip offset], page
■
Input of the desired nominal temperature - (chapter [Nominal
temperature]).
■
Setting the calibrating temperature (chapter [Determining the
calibrating temperature]).
6.3.8
Determining the calibration temperature
■
Determine the temperature of the soldering tip by using a calibrated
measuring instrument (e.g. Ersa DTM 100).
■
Compare the display values of i-CON VARIO 2 and measuring
instrument.
■
Calculate the temperature difference:
∆T = T
i-CON VARIO 2
– T
Measuring instrument
■
Set the calculated temperature difference ∆T (with operational sign
by turning the i‑OP)in menu option [Calibr.‑Temp].
Ensure calm air conditions to avoid measuring faults.
