If you switch on the appliance before connecting the plug on the soldering iron to the 4-pin socket (5) on
the soldering station, "ERROR" will be shown on the display (1). This error message will disappear when
you connect the soldering iron to the 4-pin socket (5). "ERROR" is also displayed when the soldering iron
reaches the end of its lifespan.
b) Changing the temperature unit (Celsius (°C) / Fahrenheit (°F))
Follow the steps below to change the temperature unit:
• Press the temperature unit button (
°C/°F
, 2). You can switch between degrees Celsius (°C) and degrees
Fahrenheit (°F).
• The selected unit will be used for the target temperature ("SET") and current temperature ("TEMP") of the soldering
tip.
• The soldering station remembers the temperature unit setting and loads it automatically when you switch the
soldering station back on.
c) Setting the temperature
You can configure the soldering tip temperature before connecting the soldering iron to the soldering station
and adjust the temperature later when you are soldering.
• Use the temperature control buttons to set the desired soldering tip temperature. The display (1) shows the target
temperature ("SET") when you press one of the temperature control buttons. "TEMP" indicates the current soldering
tip temperature.
• The
+UP
temperature control button (4) increases the temperature in 1 °C increments. The
-DOWN
button (3)
decreases the temperature in 1 °C increments. Hold down the buttons to adjust the temperature more quickly. The
soldering station will beep when you hold down the buttons. The temperature can be set from 160 to 480 °C in
1 °C increments.
• The preset temperature is shown on the display (1).
"HEAT ON" indicates that the soldering tip is heating up. "TEMP" indicates the current temperature, which
rises or falls until the target temperature is reached. If "HEAT ON" is not displayed, this indicates that the
soldering tip is not heating up and the temperature will fall. When the absolute difference between the
preset target temperature and the soldering tip temperature measured by the soldering station's electronic
control system is more than 10 °C, "WAIT" will appear on the display (1). Wait until this message disappears
and the target temperature is within the acceptable tolerance. You can then commence soldering.
If "ERROR" is displayed, the connector on the soldering iron may not be inserted correctly into the soldering
station, or there may be another fault. Check that the connector and plug are securely in place. If the issue
persists, switch the appliance off using the on/off switch (10) (
0
= OFF), and then switch it back on.
