INTRODUCTION

 

 
    The WA2000 soldering iron analyzer was developed for testing soldering irons for 
compliance with the DOD-STD-2000 and the new MIL-STD-2000 specifications. This 
portable unit is capable of testing tip temperature, tip to ground resistance and tip to 
ground noise (mVRMS). Correctly used and maintained, it is the most accurate of any 
comparable tester currently available on the market. Please read this document 
thoroughly, prior to using the WA2000.
