FX-888D settings and adjustments
The FX-888D has 4 Parameter settings (see section 6. Parameter Setting in the Instruction
Manual). For reasons that only make sense to the engineer that programmed the software, the
parameters are numbered 01, 03, 11, and 14.
The parameter settings are very rarely changed from the factory settings. If you change a
parameter setting it would be even ra

Parameter 01
: Allows you to display the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit. The station is factory set
to display the temperature in Fahrenheit.

flow, which is a better indication of how the heat is transferring to the solder connection.
Parameter 11

mode allows you to “preset” from 2 to 5 temperatures. Preset mode is only useful if you constantly
change between specific temperatures when soldering. It gives you a faster way to adjust between
specific temperatures. Most operators would not need to use preset mode. If you change to p
mode you must also enter the number of preset channels (2

Parameter 14
: Password setting allows you to enter a Password to restrict the ability of someone to
adjust the station without a password. This feature is sometimes used by large assembly lines that want
to control the soldering temperature process. They would enter a password and not give the password

there is a drop in the tip temperature beyond the Low Temperature Alarm Setting. The station comes
from the factory with a Low Temperature Alarm Setting of 270ºF. In this case, if you were using the
station at 750ºF and the measured tip temperature dropped to 480ºF (750-270), the display will flash an
