6.1
Operation
The soldering station is switched on/off by the switch on the front
①
.
The soldering station is controlled via a rotary encoder
②
with push‑button function (press). It is
called i‑OP. The i‑OP allows the selection of desired functions or the change of values. Clockwise
turning results in higher values and counter‑clockwise turning in lower values. Slow turning effects
change in increments of one. Quick turning changes the selected values in increments of 10/50/100
(depending on the corresponding parameter).
The i‑OP has an additional push‑button function. Via this push‑button function (pushing), the selected
parameters and values are confirmed and become effective for the station. In addition, this push‑
button function enables you to activate the connected tools alternately. All setting steps and measured
values are displayed in plain text in a clearly structured display window, which is simply referred to as
“Display”.
6.2
The work mode
After the station has been switched on, the switch‑on dialog is
displayed for approx. 2 seconds. It displays the name of the station
①
and the software version
②
of the i-CON VARIO 2.
After this the station automatically changes to working mode:
The names and values of the soldering tool currently pre-selected
(active) for operation, are represented by means of bigger characters
③
The names and values of the soldering tool in the background (passive),
are represented by means of smaller characters
④
with the parameters:
•
Actual value of the active soldering tool
⑤
.
• Actual value of the passive soldering tool
⑥
.
•
Nominal value of the active soldering tool
⑦
.
• The actual value is inside the temperature window
