When seeking Tip replacements, select Spike
genuine Soldering Iron Tips. Please refer to the
instruction on how to use, and care of Tips. If an
incompatible Tip made by another manufacturer is
used, the original performance of the Soldering
System may not be obtained. We take no
responsibility for any problem caused by using
products or parts made by another manufacturer.

XG Classic is one of a series of high quality soldering
systems featuring:
Features
High Efficiency and Low Interference
Switching technology designed circuit, allowing maxi-
mumefficiency reaching at least 80%
High power factor: Q
90%
Minimal interference, effectively restraining EMI and
RFI with zero voltage switching
Applying high open loop gain to improve the
temperature adjusting accuracy
This system allows the closest possible monitoring of
extremely small temperature variation of the Tip, thus
result ing the Soldering Iron to be in a state of constant
temperature for working purposes
Rapid heat up and recovery
High Temperature-Fidelity, Rapid Heat up and Recovery
Safe and Reliable
Sensitive protection against short circuit
Variable input voltage does not affect working
temperature
The sealed Iron Receptacle is convenient and safe for
operation. The Iron Holder Cover is designed to prevent
the Soldering Iron being accidentally touched
The power unit and the control system is isolated from
each other, only about 24V is used to drive the Heating
Element
The Soldering Iron is attached to the Base using a
heatresistant Cord Assembly and a five-pin, heavy
duty Plug
The Tip is grounded to ensure working voltage to
ground less than 2 milivolts
Original Design with Comfortable and Unique Style
This compact unit of modern style takes up little space
on the workbench. Stackable as shown so that two or
more Control Bases and/or an Iron Holder can be put
onto each other for more convenience. Combinatory so
that the Control Base and the Iron Holder can be used
together or separately at ease (See Figure 2)
