Position the station at the workplace, e.g., on the table to ensure easy access to the controls and that no objects cover the display
(VI). Place the soldering iron stand near the station to ensure free access to the soldering iron and prevent the soldering iron tip
from unintentional coming into contact with any object during operation, storage on the stand, and movement of the soldering iron
during operation. Due to the high temperature of the tip, leave at least 10 cm of free space around the stand. The stand should be
placed on a heat-resistant surface. There is a special opening in the base where brass shavings for cleaning the tip can be placed.
Place the base recess in the base housing (VII). The sponge intended for cleaning the tip during operation should be placed in
the base recess. The sponge should be damp but not wet during the entire operation period. This will prevent the tip damage.
Only after setting up the station and the stand and performing a trial operation can the station be connected to the power supply.
Switching the tool on and o ff
The tool is started by turning the power switch to the “on” position – I. The tool’s display will be illuminated and “OFF” message will
be displayed. This means that the station’s power is on and it is in standby mode. To switch the soldering station on and activate
the heating, press and hold the heating button for approx. 1.5 seconds. A single sound signal is emitted when the heating process
starts. The station will switch to operating mode and start heating. Press and hold the heating button for approx. 1.5 seconds
to turn o ff heating and switch to standby mode. If it is necessary to switch the tool o ff entirely, fl ip the power switch to the “o ff ”
position – O.
Parameter setting
Parameter setting is carried out using the function buttons. The button marked with an arrow pointing up is used to increase the
parameter value and the button marked with an arrow pointing down is used to decrease the parameter value. A sound signal is
emitted when the parameter value is changed.
Display (VIII)
The following parameters are shown on the display when the soldering station is in operation:
“Real Temp” – the value in the centre of the display indicates the actual tip temperature.
“Set Temp” – the value at the bottom left of the display indicates the set temperature to which the tip is to be heated.
“Power” – the value on the left side of the display indicates the timed heating power level.
Sleep mode time – the value at the bottom right of the display indicates the time remaining until the station enters sleep mode.
Timed sleep mode setting
The soldering station has a sleep mode function which switches on after pre-set time has elapsed. Changes to the sleep mode
time length must be made in standby mode. Switch on the soldering station by fl ipping the power switch to the “on” position – I,
then simultaneously press and hold the function buttons marked with the arrow pointing up and arrow pointing down until the time
indicated in seconds is displayed. Use the function buttons to set the time length between 20 and 999 seconds. The length of
time is automatically saved and the station returns to standby mode once the time is set and the selection button is released. In
operation mode, the soldering station will enter sleep mode after the set time has elapsed only when the soldering iron is not in
use. Bringing the tool out of sleep mode is done by lifting the soldering iron from the stand or by brie fl y pressing one of the function
buttons. It is also possible to bring the soldering iron out of sleep mode by pressing one of the programming buttons – CH1, CH2
or CH3. In this case, heating to the temperature previously saved under the selected button will begin.
Temperature setting
To set the tip temperature, turn the soldering station on by fl ipping the power switch to the “on” position – I, then press and hold
the heating button for approx. 1.5 seconds. The station will switch to operation mode and temperature adjustment will be enabled.
The tip temperature can be set between 90
o
C and 480
o
C using the function buttons marked with an arrow pointing up or arrow
pointing down. The value is automatically saved once setting is complete.
Temperature programming
The station can store three di ff erent temperature settings. First, set the temperature and then press and hold one of the tempera-
ture programming buttons – CH1, CH2 or CH3. The symbol of the selected setting will fl ash on the display. The value is automat-
ically saved once setting is complete. The value programmed under the CH1 button is the default temperature value. This means
that when the station is restarted, the soldering iron tip will heat up to the pre-set temperature.
Changing the temperature unit
Changing the temperature unit is possible in the soldering station operating mode by quickly pressing the heating button twice.
The
O
C symbol displayed next to the set temperature indicates degrees Celsius, and the
O
F symbol indicates degrees Fahrenheit.
The value is automatically saved once setting is complete.
Temperature calibration
The tip is equipped with a heater, the parameters of which can be subject to change during use. Thanks to calibration, the tem-
perature set for the soldering station will correspond to the actual tip temperature. The temperature should be measured with an
external thermometer, such as a thermocouple connected to a multimeter. The displayed value should then be adjusted to equal
