INTRODUCTION
The X-Tronic 3010-XTS soldering station is an ESD-Safe variable
temperature and electronically controlled unit for a demanding soldering
environment, thereby providing flexibility to suit various types of soldering
conditions.
INITIAL SET-UP
WARNING: Do NOT leave the unit on full power for any long period
of time. This will greatly reduce the life of your soldering iron.
1. Plug the 3-Prong AC cord into a grounded outlet to prevent electric
shock or injury.
2. Turn the power on by pushing the power switch on the top of the
control module.
3. Once the power is on the Red LED located on the handle of the
soldering iron will light up.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
1. Turn on the unit and set the temperature dial to the Medium setting
which is half way between MIN and MAX.
2. Allow the unit to heat up and run at this temperature for 15 minutes.
3. After 15 minutes, turn the dial to the MAX setting and run it at this
temperature for 10 minutes.
4. After 10 minutes on MAX, the unit is ready to use or can be turned
off for future use.
Note:
During this Break In Period the Soldering Iron will smoke and the
Solder Tip/Metal Housing will turn a “Blue-ish” Color. This is expected
behavior, the smoke is coming from the insulation on the new heating
element being burnt off and the blue coloring is from varying degrees of
oxidation from heating of the metal parts of the Iron.
It will take 5 to 10 hours of Total Use for this unit to be totally broken in.
At that point it will not smoke when the unit is used for soldering. This is
normal for all high power soldering irons.
