SET-UP & OPERATION
WARNING: Do NOT leave the unit on full power for a long period of
time. This will greatly reduce the life of your soldering iron.
1. Remove all components from the box.
2. Assemble the soldering iron holder by placing the soldering iron
holder coil in the base behind the rosin flux tin.
3. Determine where the soldering iron holder will be used and secure it
to the workbench by removing the liner on the bottom of the holder
and sticking it to the workbench.
4. Place the soldering iron in the soldering iron holder.
5. Plug the iron into the outlet.
6. Turn the power on by pressing the power switch on the side of the
unit.
7. Once the power is on the LED Screen located on the side of the iron
will light up.
8. Set the desired working temperature by pressing the “+” or “-”
buttons on the side of the iron. The temperature of the soldering iron
can be set anywhere from 194°F ~ 896°F/90°C ~ 480°C.
9. Remove the iron from the cradle and flood the tip with a good quality
rosin core solder-preferably 63/37 or 60/40 grade solder (See page
4).
10. Dip the tip into the brass sponge to remove excess solder. The tip
should then be bright and shiny.
11. The soldering iron is now ready to solder. Proceed according to your
standard working practice.
12. When you are finished soldering, place the iron in the holder while it
cools down. Unplug the unit from the outlet when not in use.
SLEEP FUNCTION
IMPORTANT: If you have this set to L00 the Sleep Function will NOT
activate.
When the soldering iron is placed in the holder, the iron will go into sleep
mode after 5/10/30 minutes (depnding on how you have the sleep timer
set). The display will show “SLP” to signify this and the temperature of
the soldering iron will ramp down to 194°F / 200°C. When the soldering
iron is removed from the holder to use again, the temperature of the
soldering iron will ramp back up to the temperature it was previously
being used at within 5-10 seconds.
