WORKING TEMPERATURE
SOLDERING
To meet RoHS requirements, the common 60/40 lead solder alloys are not allowed in
the production process. Lead free solder alloys require a working temperature of 30
℃
(54
℉
) higher than previous generation electrical soldering. The working temperature
of solder is detailed below and can vary from manufacture to manufacture.
Melting point 220
℃
(428
℉
)
Normal operation 300-360
℃
(572-680
℉
)
Production line operation 360-410
℃
(680-770
℉
)
When the soldering iron’s working temperature is set within the parameters suitable
for the type of soldering being used, a good joint assured. Too low of a temperature
will slow the rate of solder flow while a high temperature setting might burn the flux
in the solder and emit a heavy, white smoke resulting in a dry joint or permanent
damage to the printed circuit board (P.C.B) and may also shorten tip life.
IMPORTANT
: The temperature above 410
℃
(770
℉
) is not recommended for
normal soldering functions, but can be used for short periods of time when high
temperatures are required.

TEMPERATURE SETTING:
(No password set)
1. Increase temperature: By pressing “▲” key one time, the digital will be increase
“1” numeral. If pressing “▲” key over 2 seconds then the digital numerals will be
forwarded counting continuously till the temperature up to what you desire to set.
2. Decrease temperature: By pressing“▼” key, the same procedure as above.

.
Increase temperature: By pressing “▲” key one time, the digital will be increase
“5” numeral. If pressing “▲” key over 2 seconds then the digital numerals will be
forwarded counting continuously till the temperature up to what you desire to set.
2. Decrease temperature: By pressing“▼” key, the same procedure as above.
PARAMETER SETTING:
1. Press “SET” key and hold for at least 3 seconds until display shows“— — —”
sign then release the “SET” key. The sign “— — —” starts to flash and reminding
the user to input the mode lock password “010” (fixed). If the user inputs the same
number as “010”, the unit will enter the modes selection procedure, otherwise, the
unit will be back from the current mode automatically.
2. After the unit enters the Modes selection, the LED will display “F-0”and flash.
Press “▲”or “▼” key to select modes. If the user doesn’t press “▲” or “▼” key
within 15 seconds or press “SET” key one time, then the unit will be immediately
back from the Parameter Set status.
