FEATURES
TEMPERATURE CONVERSION
This unit can readout temperatures in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.
To change from one to the other, when the unit is powered off,
simply press the ▲ button and turn the unit on. The display will
toggle between °C / °F.
MUTE / UNMUTE FUNCTION
The unit beeps when buttons are pushed or when it goes into
sleep mode. To toggle between Mute and Unmute Mode, when the
unit is off, press and hold the ▼ button and turn the unit on. When
the unit is Muted the display will say “SPH off”, when the unit is
Unmuted the display will say “SPH On” and the unit will beep.
SLEEP FUNCTION
If the soldering iron sits idle in the soldering iron holder for 10
minutes (default time), Sleep Mode will be activated. The screen
will switch to “---” and the soldering iron will cool down to 200°C
(392°F). To bring the unit out of Sleep Mode, simply pick up the
soldering iron from the holder.
Note: The unit will NOT go into sleep mode unless the soldering iron is
in the holder.
To change the default time before sleep mode is activated, turn the
unit off with the switch on the front of the unit. Press and hold the
▲ and ▼ buttons and then switch the unit on. Use the ▲ and ▼
buttons to set the sleep time. The sleep timer can be set between
00-30 minutes, in 1 minute increments. Once the desired time has
been set, the setting will automatically be saved after 5 seconds.
Note: Setting the sleep timer at “00” will turn the sleep function off and
the unit will NOT go to sleep regardless of how long the unit sits
idle in the soldering station holder. It is not recommended to turn
the sleep timer off for normal use. The use of the sleep timer will
help extend the life of the heating element and tip if the unit is left
on for long periods of time.
