Introduction
We would like to thank you for purchasing this high quality soldering station. The Ersa i‑CON VARIO 2
is a multi‑function soldering station for professional soldering and desoldering processes. It has been
designed for applications in industrial production, repair operations and laboratory environments.
1.1
Supply unit
Up to two soldering and desoldering tools (hereafter referred to as “soldering tool”) can be connected
to the supply unit and operated together. The connected soldering tools can be activated by simply
pressing the i‑OP rotary encoder. Some of the soldering tools, such as e.g. the i‑TOOL, the X‑TOOL
VARIO, or the CHIP TOOL VARIO, are automatically activated when they are taken from the holder.
The i‑CON VARIO 2 can be operated with a vast variety of different soldering tools. Besides the i‑TOOL
can also connect the CHIP TOOL and CHIP TOOL VARIO for desoldering very small SMT-components
and the desoldering tool X‑TOOL VARIO. Apart from an optional vacuum connection for desoldering
THT‑component, the station is also equipped with a powerful air compressor for work with the
i-TOOL AIR S.
The possibility of being able to use the well established soldering tools, TECH TOOL and MICRO TOOL
and the connectivity for future soldering tools round off the high flexibility of this station. With its vast
variety of functions, the high speed and regulating accuracy this soldering station is most suitable for
use in manufacturing processed with high quality requirements.
The soldering station comes with two serial interfaces and a USB‑port. The station is also equipped
with ports for connecting to a PC, other control units, a soldering fume extractor or even a heating
plate. The use of a microSD‑card or the i‑SET TOOL offers the additional possibility to save the different
settings of the station. Furthermore, this way the saved data can not only be transferred back to the
soldering station, but also to other i‑CON VARIO 4 stations.
