CALIBRATION FUNCTION
When is it time to Calibrate your Hot Air Station?
All X-Tronic Stations come with a high quality heating element
in the hot air gun that is calibrated to within ±3.6°F/2.0°C of the
temperature that is shown on the LED Display. While calibrating
to the exact temperature is the ultimate goal, this heating element
and nozzle design is as close as can be achieved with this
technology.
The age of the heating element, the hours of use, and the
temperature at which the hot air gun is regularly used will affect
the life of the heating element and can cause fatigue. When a
heating element begins to fatigue, the heat that is transferred to
the blowing air from the heating element will begin to drop. If the
typical temperature used to desolder is not working as well as
when it was new, then it might be time to calibrate the unit.
Note: The heating elements a consumable part for hot air rework
stations. There will come a time when the heating element stops
working due to age and/or too much deterioration. At this point,
it will need to be replaced and cannot be calibrated. Heating
elements for this unit can be found on our website (XTronicUSA.
com).
