TEMPERATURE CHANNELS STORAGE
This touchscreen model has a memory channels for three pre-set temperature
levels – CH1, CH2, CH3. These channels are accessed by pressing the white button on the
right side of the screen. Each time you press this button, the screen with scroll to the
next CH number in sequence, and eventually loops back to CH1. If you leave the channel
memory on a certain number, the set temperature will change to that level, and the
display temperature will begin to adjust to match the set temperature.
To set the value for any channel memory, follow these steps in order:
1. Press and hold the ‘SET’ button on the touchscreen for 3 second, regardless of
which CH is currently allocated. When the SET button is released, the CH0 number
will be flashing.
2. Press the SET button again. The CAL icon will be flashing. (Temperature adjust
buttons to set CAL temperature correction value! ^)
3. Press SET again to move to CH1, and again for CH2, CH3. Choose any one you wish
to set. (The SET order progression through the channels is: CH0 > CAL > CH1 > CH2 >
CH3 >…in a loop.)

NOTE
: To set the CAL temperature correction value, follow steps 1 and 2 first, and then
step 4 to adjust the value in degrees Celsius, ending with step 5 to ENTER the determined
value, whether it be positive or negative. The CAL range is -99 to zero to +99 and once set
for a correct value, it applies to all preset channels and CH0 i.e. always on.
NB: This function requires a special soldering iron thermometer to work correctly. This
thermometer is not currently one of the optional accessories for this model.
TEMPORARY POWER DOWN MODE
Press the white button on the right side of the touchscreen for at least 3 seconds. The
screen will look like this:
In this state the heating element is manually disengaged and cooling begins, as
indicated by the presence of the ‘snowflake’ icon on the left of the screen. As the iron
cools down, once it reaches below 100°C, the icon will change to this [BEN - half moon
icon for sleep screen photo 3] and the station will be idling. It will remain in this
temporary power down state indefinitely, until the user presses the white button or any
other
arrow button, at which point the heater will reactivate and return to the previous
temperature setting.
CAUTION:
REMEMBER, THE TIP IS HOT. The tip and barrel of the solder handle will cause
serious burns if they are allowed to contact the skin. Always return the solder handle to
the safety holder after each use. Soldering irons operate at high temperatures and can
easily burn people or objects. Do not touch the tip and heater at any time and keep it a
safe distance from flammable materials while the unit is on or while it’s cooling. Please
allow a sufficient time for the unit to cool before changing tips or handles!
