setting “Sleep” mode.
6.Wake-up method
①
Temperature Down Suspend: If the unit is set in Sleep mode function, after 20min
idleness, the system will enter the sleep mode automatically, the temperature will go
down to 100
℃
and the LED displays at “ 100” and flashes
.
Activating the solder
wand will disengage the suspend status and the unit will immediately ramp up to the
preset temperature. There are three methods of wake-up the Temperature Down
Suspend.
a. Pick up the solder wand and shake it gently.
b. Press any key of the unit.
c. Turn off the main switch and restart.
○
2
Power off Suspend: If the unit enters the Sleep mode over 40min without wake-up,
the unit will enter automatically the power off suspend status. It means the heater power
will be cut off and the LED displays “— — —” and flashes, you have to turn off the
main switch restart the station
when you reuse the iron.
COMMON CAUSES OF TIP UNWETTING
1.
Tip temperature higher than 41
0℃
2.
The tip working surfaces are not tinned while the iron idling.
3.
Lack of flux in soldering, wicking, repairing, and touch-up operations.
4.
Wiping the tip on a high sulfur content, dirty or dry sponges and rags.
5. Touching with organic substances such as plastic, resin, silicone, grease or other
chemicals.
6. Impurities in solder and/or low tin content.
CARE OF TIPS
Caution:
The soldering iron can reach very high temperatures. Be sure to turn the
unit off prior to carrying out any maintenance or trouble shooting steps listed below.
IMPORTANT
Remove the tip and clean after moderate to heavy use or at least daily for light usage.
Remove any loose build up in the tip retaining assembly to prevent tip freezing.
The solder tips supplied are iron clad cooper and if used properly, they should maintain
optimum life.
1.
Always tin the tip before returning it to the holder, turning off the station, or storing
it for long periods of time. Wipe the tip on a brass cleaner prior to use.
2.
Keeping the iron set at high temperatures (more than 40
0℃
) will shorten tip life.
3.
Does not use excessive pressure to the tip or rub the joint with the tip while
soldering; it does not improve the heat transfer and may damage the tip.
4.
Apply solder to the joint, not the tip when soldering. The flux is naturally caustic
