SHOW PROFILE – is an option that allows you to view information you can program into the soldering
station which includes a Soldering Station ID or other form of asset ID, a User Name, and Solder Type.
The information will appear on the display for 10 seconds or until any of the three buttons are pressed.
This feature is included to make it simple for personnel that manage the equipment in expansive facilities
to easily validate that equipment specified for particular operations or operators is where it should be,
and can be checked at the touch of a button. No need for computers, software, or cabling.
SHOW TIP LOADS – is an option that allows you to view an approximate count of the thermal loads
applied to the soldering iron tip. While the information is displayed, the button menu will change and
the buttons now have new labels indicating RESET and OK. The middle button is not available. The
information will appear on the display until you press OK or RESET the counter. When the soldering
station detects a load on the heater in the soldering iron tip, the counter is incremented by one. This
feature is included as a process indicator that will help quantify the service life of tips and identify
potential soldering issues from excessive reworking of solder joints.
When the OK button is pressed, the display will go back to showing you a graphic representation of the
power output to the soldering iron tip. If you press the RESET button, the display will ask you to confirm
that you want to reset the counter. The button menu will change and the buttons now have the labels
CANCEL and OK. Again, the middle button is not available. Pressing OK will reset the counter to zero,
and pressing CANCEL will leave the count as-is. The display will go back to showing you a graphic
representation of the power output to the soldering iron tip.
SHOW TIP TIME – is an option that allows you to view an approximate running time, in hours, for the
soldering iron tip. The button menu and behaviors will be the same as the SHOW TIP LOADS option
that we just went over. This feature is included as an additional process indicator to help quantity the
service life of tips.
SELECT PROFILE – is an option that allows you to choose from one of two programmable profiles of
information for the soldering station. This is the information that will be displayed by the station when
SHOW PROFILE is selected. The button menu will change and the buttons will have the labels 1 and 2.
The middle button is not available. The display will show both options until a choice is made, at which
time the display will go back to showing you a graphic representation of the power output to the
soldering iron tip.
TIP TYPE – is an option that you can set to identify the power rating of the tip that is plugged into the
handpiece when the soldering station is turned on. When this option is set, the power range of the tip
plugged into the soldering iron handpiece will be shown on the display. The options are AUTO DETECT,
MANUAL SET or OFF. The button menu will change and the buttons will have the labels UP, DOWN,
and OK. The display will show the options until a choice is made. If you chose the AUTO DETECT
option, the soldering station will attempt to read the power rating of the tip when the soldering station is
first turned on while the tip is in the sleep holder. After this option is selected, the display will go back to
showing you a graphic representation of the power output to the soldering iron tip.
