1 Applications
The 48 W soldering station SIC-540 with a temperature
range of 150 – 450 °C is suitable both for professional
and DIY soldering applications. The unit has a digital
LCD temperature readout displaying the desired tem per-
ature and the actual temperature at the same time. The
temperature is adjustable in steps of 1° or 10° via two
buttons. The soldering iron stand can be placed sepa-
rately from the soldering station.
2 Safety Notes
The soldering station corresponds to all required direc-
tives of the EU and is therefore marked with
.
Please observe the following items in any case:
G
The unit is suitable for indoor use only. Protect it against
dripping water and splash water, high air humidity, and
heat (admissible ambient temperature range 0 – 40 °C).
G
Do not place any vessel filled with liquid on the unit,
e. g. a drinking glass.
G
This unit is unsuitable for children!
G
Never use the soldering station for heating any fluids or
plastics.
G
Caution! Fire hazard: Always put the hot soldering
iron into its holder or on a fire-proof surface. Never
cover the air vents on the soldering station or on the
soldering iron stand.
G
Do not operate the unit and immediately disconnect
the mains plug from the socket
1. in case of visible damage to the unit or to the mains
cable,
2. if a defect might have occurred after the unit was
dropped or suffered a similar accident,
3. if malfunctions occur.
In any case the unit must be repaired by skilled per-
sonnel.
G
A damaged mains cable must be replaced by skilled
personnel only.
G
Never pull the mains cable for disconnecting the mains
plug from the socket, always seize the plug.
G
No guarantee claims for the unit and no liability for any
resulting personal damage or material damage will be

Important for U. K. Customers!
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in ac cord -
ance with the follow ing code:
green / yellow = earth, blue = neutral, brown = live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this ap-
pliance may not correspond with the coloured mark-
ings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:
1. The wire which is coloured green and yellow must
be con nected to the terminal in the plug which is
mark ed with the letter E or by the earth symbol
,
or coloured green or green and yellow.
2. The wire which is coloured blue must be con nected
to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or
coloured black.
3. The wire which is coloured brown must be con-
nected to the terminal which is marked with the letter
L or coloured red.
Warning – This appliance must be earthed.
3 Operation
1) The soldering station and the soldering iron stand can
either be set up separately or connected with each
other. To connect the parts, fix the soldering iron stand
to the side of the soldering station via its three latches
(9).
2) A sponge is supplied for cleaning the soldering tip (7)
prior to soldering. Wet the sponge and put it into the
drawer (10) of the soldering iron stand.
3) Connect the plug (11) of the cable of the soldering iron
to the jack (5) on the soldering station and lock the
connection by tightening its knurled nut. Put the sol-
dering iron into its holder (6).
4) Connect the plug of the mains cable (1) to a socket
(230 V~ / 50 Hz).
5) Switch on the unit with the mains switch (3). Two tem-
perature indications will appear on the display (2):
– in the lower line (SET), the desired value is indi -
cated, i. e. the last soldering temperature adjusted;
– in the upper line (TEMP.), the actual value is indi -
cated, i. e. the current temperature of the soldering
tip.
Further indications on the display:
HEAT ON displayed while the unit heats up
WAIT
displayed while the actual temperature ap-
proaches the desired temperature; will dis-
appear once the difference between the
two values is reduced to 10°
ERROR
keeps flashing in case of malfunction (e. g.
defective temperature sensor or discon-
Attention: Never operate the soldering iron without
a soldering tip, otherwise the heating element and
the temperature sensor may be damaged.
CAUTION
Never touch the metal parts of the hot sol-
dering iron – risk of burning! After oper -
ation, allow the soldering iron to cool by
air only, never use water to quench it.
If the soldering station is to be put out of oper -
ation definitively, take it to a local recycling plant
for a disposal which is not harmful to the envi-
ronment.
WARNING The unit is supplied with hazardous mains
voltage (230 V~). Leave servicing to skill ed
personnel only and never insert anything
into the air vents! This may result in an
electric shock hazard.
