TROUBLESHOOTING
ISSUE
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Unit does not
have power
• Ensure the power cord is not damaged and in good
working condition.
• Ensure that the outlet is functional.
Soldering Iron
“Rattles”
• This is expected behavior. The “rattle” is a small ball
that allows the unit to determine when the soldering
iron is not in use and it should go into Sleep Mode.
S-E Error
• The unit is no longer sensing the element - the
heating element may be cracked or worn out
and needs to be replaced. Replacements can be
purchased on our website: www.XTronicUSA.com.
Tip is not
heating up as
expected
• Ensure the soldering iron is not damaged and in
good working condition.
• The soldering tip could be oxidized, it is important to
always tin the tip and keep it clean. See Soldering
Tip Preparation on page 5.
• The heating element may need to be replaced.

Note:
Normal temperature range for most soldering applications is
600°F ~ 650°F / 315°C ~ 343°C range. If you need to use a higher
temperature, please use it for the shortest possible time. Using
the soldering iron at exceedingly hot temperatures will shorten the
life of the heating element and soldering iron.
