Operating Instructions 

1. Ensure that the power switch on the base unit is in the “OFF” position.

2. Plug in AC power cord and turn the mains power switch to “ON”, and the soldering station Power switch to

“ON”.

The LED display will illuminate and show the temperature value.

3. For tip first time use, the tip should be tinned immediately after switching on and warm up of the tip. The

optimum temperature for tip tinning is 250°C (482°F). Press the “

5

” key up until 250°C (482°F) displays. (If

the unit is set to degrees Centigrade, the temperature display window of the upper right corner shows °C,
and if it is set to degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature display window of the upper right corner shows °F).
When the unit reaches the display set temperature, the heater indicator light (Item 3, above) flashes to
indicate the unit has reached the set operating temperature. Once operating temperature has been reached,
tin the surface of the tip by applying a new covering of solder to the tip. Tip tinning is necessary to protect
the life of the tip.

4. Once the tip is tinned, let the station idle for about 3 minutes, then press the key “

5

” or “

6

” to choose the

desired operating use temperature. The unit now is ready for use. Further information on recommended tip
temperature settings is giv  en on page 4 of this manual.

TO ADJUST TEMPERATURE SETTING: (No lockout set) 

1. To increase the temperature: Press the “

5

” key once, and the display will increase “1” numeral. For fast

increment of the temperature setting, press and hold for 2 seconds the “

5

” key until you reach the desired

temperature.

2. To decrease the temperature press “

6

” key, following the same procedure as above.

PARAMETER SETTINGS: 

The parameters that can be adjusted are overleaf. To enter parameter setting mode:

1. Press “SET” key and hold until display shows “— — —” 

2. Release the “SET” key. The display “— — —” will start to flash.
