2 . The wire which is coloured brown must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter L or coloured red .
If the unit is to be put out of operation
definitively, take it to a local recycling
plant for a disposal which is not harmful
to the environment .
3 Setting into Operation
IMPORTANT!
To avoid damage by overheating,
do not operate the soldering station without sol-
dering tip .
1) Connect the soldering iron to the soldering
station: Connect the plug (10) of the soldering
iron to the jack (4) .
2) Slide the soldering iron support (1) into the
slot (2) .
3) Connect the mains plug of the soldering
station to a socket (230 V/ 50 Hz) .
4) To switch on the station, press the toggle switch
(5) . The digital temperature display (3) and the
LED indicator HEATER ON (8) will light up .
5) Slide the switch DISPLAY to the position SET .
The left field SET of the status indicator (9) will
light up . Use the rotary control (6) to set the
temperature (160 – 480 °C) . The display (3) will
show the temperature desired .
6) Then slide the switch DISPLAY to the right to
the position READ . The right field READ of the
status indicator will light up; the display will
show the current heat-up temperature or tem-
perature of the soldering tip . The LED indicator
HEATER ON will light while the soldering tip is
being heated up . It will extinguish as soon as
the temperature adjusted has been reached .
7) To switch off the station, press the toggle
switch (5) .
4 Replacement of the Soldering Tip
1) Prior to replacing the soldering tip, switch off
the station with the toggle switch (5) and dis-
connect the station from the mains . Allow the
screw sleeve (11) and the soldering tip (12) to
cool down to room temperature .
2) Use your fingers to unscrew the screw sleeve
from the soldering iron tube .
3) Remove any oxide residues from the solder-
ing iron tube . While blowing oxide particles
out of the tube, provide a corresponding eye
protection .
4) Replace the soldering tip (e . g . by soldering tips
of the MONACOR series SIT-5 . .ROHS) and use
your fingers to fasten the screw sleeve . Make
sure not to fasten the screw sleeve too tightly;
the heating element may be damaged .
5 Notes on Correct Soldering
1 . Prior to operation, ensure a tight fit of the sol-
dering tip .
2 . Always keep the soldering tip clean and make
sure that sufficient soldering tin is applied to
the tip, especially before switching off the sol-
dering station .
3 . Prior to soldering, remove any impurities from
the parts to be soldered .
4 . To protect the soldering station and the soldering
tip, do not operate the station at temperatures
of 400 °C or higher for a longer period of time .
6 Cleaning the Soldering Station
Prior to cleaning, always switch off the sol-
dering station and disconnect it from the
mains!
For cleaning the housing of the soldering
station and the handle of the soldering iron, use
a damp cloth and a small quantity of cleaning
fluid . Do not use any aggressive detergents or
chemicals . When cleaning, make sure that no
fluid will enter the unit!
