3. Input the factory default lock setting of “010” by incrementing the “

5

” key. 

4. Press SET key again and the display will show F-0 and flash. There are 3 parameters that can be set.

Parameter F-1 is temperature lock setting.
Parameter F-2 is temperature correction setting.
Parameter F-3 is to change between Fahrenheit and Centigrade (Celsius) temperature selection

5. To select parameter setting, press the “

5

” or “

6

” to scroll through to the parameter setting you desire set.

Note that the unit returns to normal operation after 15 seconds if no key is pressed.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT LOCKOUT SETTING

When the LED displays “F-1” and flashes, press “SET” key and the unit enters the temperature adjustment
lockout status. At this moment, the LED displays the preset value. If “000” is set, this means the unit has no
temperature lock. 

Press “

5

” or “

6

” key to change temperature adjustment lockout value. The temperature adjustment lockout

is number “100”. Once the number is entered, press “SET” key again to finish setting.

The user can now continue to set other parameters. 

TEMPERATURE CORRECTION SETTING 

When the LED displays “F-2” and flashes, press “SET” key to enter Temperature Correction Mode. At this
moment, the LED displays preset correction value. 

A: 

Centigrade temperature corr99°C ~-99°C 

Press “

5

” or “

6

” key to change the temperature correction amount. If the temperature on the display is

more than the temperature of the tip, input a positive figure. Eg If the current display set temperature is
200°C, the actual temperature of the tip is only 190°C, and the temperature offset is 00, enter +10°C. 

If there is already a temperature offset, then increment the temperature offset by +10°C. That is, if the offset
temperature is already 5°C, then the new temperature offset will be 15°C 

If the temperature on the display is less than the temperature of the tip, enter a negative figure by pressing
the “

6

” key until the desired amount is displayed. 

The first digit will display “— ” (minus). 

B:

Fahrenheit temperature correction value +210°F ~-210°F 

Fahrenheit temperature correction is the same as above, except that the adjustment can be up to 3 digits,
and the negative symbol will not display. 

FAHRENHEIT AND CENTIGRADE (CELSIUS) TEMPERATURE SELECTION 

When the display shows "F-3" and is flashing, press the "SET" button. The display will show the current setting
- for Celsius °C: or Fahrenheit: °F. To change the temperature selection setting, press “

5

” or “

6

” key. To save

the setting, press SET key.

RECOMMENDED SOLDERING WORKING TEMPERATURES. 

A low iron temperature will slow the flow of solder. A high temperature will burn the flux in the solder, which in
