RND 560-00160 — SOLDER STATION & FUME EXTRACTOR
Congratulations on purchasing the RND 560-00160 Temperature Controlled Soldering
Station with Fume Extractor. Its compact size ensures that the work surface is not cluttered
up and it is easily positioned to ensure maximum effect.
Features:
•
Continuously variable temperature control
•
Zero switching circuitry for spike suppression
•
High idle stability
•
Fast heat recovery
•
All metal construction
•
High performance ball bearing fan
•
“Active Carbon” filter
•
ESD safe
Product Description:
This specialised soldering station has been developed to meet the present and future needs
of hand soldering of electronic devices. The all metal construction coupled with the high
performance ball bearing fan makes this ideally suited to service centres, work benches,
colleges etc.
It incorporates electronic circuitry which enables the user to change the tip temperature
from 250°C through 450°C without changing the tip or heating element. The transformer
less power supply ensures excellent temperature stability by accurately monitoring the
minute changes in element resistance which occur in proportion to temperature variations.
The electronic opto isolated “zero voltage” switching used protects voltage and current
sensitive components, such as CMOS devices, against transient voltage spikes, which can
be caused by switching the power or heater on/off, or other environmental conditions.
The ceramic heating element is designed specially to bring the element temperature up to
approximately 450°C at full setting in under one minute. The higher temperature allows for
reserve heat to ensure ultrafast recovery at lower temperature settings.
The high insulation of the ceramic heating element is over 100 MOhm and the tip is
grounded to ensure leakage is less than 0.4 millivolts.

Operating Instructions:
1.
Place the soldering iron into the stand provided.
2.
Plug in the power cable and slide the switch to ‘on’ position then LED lamp will be on.
The extractor fan will start automatically.
3.
Set the temperature by rotating temperature control knob on the front panel to the
temperature desired.
4.
Always keep the sponge wet.
5.
Set the temperature control knob to the minimum when temporarily not using the
soldering station, thereby extending the life of heater and tip.
Working Temperature:
A low iron temperature will slow the flow of solder. A high temperature will burn the flux in
the solder, which in turn will emit a heavy white smoke, that can result in a dry joint or
damage to the PCB. When the tip working temperature is within the correct parameters
suited to the particular solder being used, a good joint is assured. Best results can be
