Set the temperature control to minimum and plug
the SL-5 AC cord into an outlet. Turn the power
switch to ON and the switch should illuminate.
Measure the voltage across the soldering iron plug
as shown in Figure AA. Rotate the temperature
control knob clockwise and measure the AC
voltage. Range 25
+25
120V.
If the measured voltages do not agree, turn the
power switch off and unplug from AC outlet. Check
the wiring and parts on PC board.
Place the iron into the holder. Plug your
soldering iron cord into the AC receptacle on
the back. Adjust it for a 1/4" gap so you can
measure the AC voltage, as shown in Figure Z.

Wet the sponge with preferably distilled or tap water,
and then place it into the tray. Plug the soldering iron
line cord into the AC receptacle on the back, and
then insert it into the holder. Make sure the On/Off
switch is set to the Off position and the control knob
at minimum. Plug the line cord of the SL-5 into a
120VAC receptacle. Turn the power switch On and
the switch should illuminate. Set the temperature
control knob midway. Allow the iron to heat up for a
few minutes. Now set it to the desired temperature.
See the chart for relative temperatures. Using the
lowest power setting will protect sensitive devices.
OPERATION
Use these settings for
soldering temperature
sensitive components.
Use these settings for
general soldering and
connections that
require more heat.
Park Position
In these settings,
temperatures are too
low for soldering. Set
the station in these
positions when not
using it to reduce
oxidation of the
soldering iron tip.
