VARIO 2
Functional description
6.2.4
Working with the i‑TOOL AIR S
The i‑CON VARIO 2 is equipped with an air supply, to be able to connect the hot‑air
soldering tool i‑TOOL AIR S. In contrast to regular soldering tools, this tool transfers the
required energy for
soldering by means of hot air convection.
■
Connect the i‑TOOL AIR S to the sockets A2 and Air of the station.
Switch the station on. If more than one tool is connected to the
station, you just activate the i‑TOOL AIR S by pressing the i‑OP.
■
You can now set the desired temperature by turning the i-OP
①
and
confirm this setting by pressing.
Adjusting the air flow:
■
In order to adjust the air quantity turn the potentiometer
②
on the
handle of the i-TOOL AIR S.
Turning clockwise increases the air quantity
③,
while turning anti‑
clockwise reduces the air quantity.
The air quantity can be gradually adjusted from 2 to 20 l/min. The reading
③
in the
display represents the air quantity.
Switching on and off:
■
Take the soldering iron out of the holder and cover the optical sensor
④
twice. The flashing icon
at position
⑥
indicates the required
pace. The i-TOOL AIR S is switched on and heats up to the adjusted
temperature.
This switching on is confirmed by two short audible signals. Apart from this, the display
⑤
shows the increasing temperature.
■
Switching the tool off works in the same way as switching it on.
This switching off is indicated by a long audible signal. Apart from this, the display
changes between “OFF”
⑦
and the still existing iron temperature.
The air flow of the iron is automatically switched off when the tool has cooled down to
a temperature of 200 °C.
From VARIO firmware V.1.20 and i‑TOOL AIR S V.1.04 you can adjust the sensitivity of
the optical sensor in menu [Parameter], value [Opto Sensor].
Default = [Med].
[Low] = less sensitive, [High] = more sensitive.
