6. Manual standby function
This function enables the device to cool down to “T1”
mode when the button is pressed which will then
be indicated by the “Standby” segment in the LCD
display (see Figure 3). Pressing “T1” again will
re-activate the previous set point temperature.
Figure 3
The station is shipped with the standby function
disabled. To enable the function, press “T1”, “T2”,
“T3” together to switch the DS80 into programming
mode. The “Prog” segment will be indicated on the
display (see Figure 4).
Figure 4
Now press the “T1” key. An arrow will indicate that
the standby function is enabled; (see Figure 5).
The display will revert back to normal mode after
three seconds.

7. Timer-controlled standby function
This enables the iron to automatically cool down
to the standby temperature after a set period of
time since the last key was pressed. The device
is shipped with the timer-controlled standby
function disabled. To enable, switch the DS80 to
programming mode as shown above and press and
hold the “T1” key. Use the “+”/”-“ keys to adjust the
timeout; (see Figure 6). Maximum time is 9 hours
and 55 minutes.
Note:
The programmed timeout data will only
become valid after switching the solder station off
and then back on.

8. Automatic power-off function
This enables the device to automatically switch
off after a set period of time since the last key was
pressed. The device is shipped with the automatic
power-off function disabled. To enable, switch the
DS80 to programming mode as shown above and
press and hold the “T2” key. Use the “+”/”-“ keys
to adjust the power-off timeout; (see Figure 7).
Maximum time is 9 hours and 55 minutes.
Note:
The programmed power-off data will only
become valid after switching the solder station off
and then back on.

9. Disabling the “Power” bar-chart
Switch the DS80 to programming mode as shown
above and press the “T2” key. The arrow segment
above this key will disappear; (see Figure 8).
Pressing the “T2” key again will re-enable the
bar-chart display.

10. Switching between °C (Celsius)
and °F (Fahrenheit)
Switch the DS80 to programming mode as shown
above and press the “T3” key. The arrow segment
above this key will disappear; (see Figure 9).
Pressing the “T3” key again will switch the display
back to °C and the arrow will reappear.

11. Static Bonding / EPA Point
Socket for 4mm ‘Banana’ Plug. Provided for critical
applications, where a grounding link is required to
equalise the soldering station potential to the working
area, to minimise any potential voltage difference
between the soldering tip and circuit board. For
suitable 1.8m long coiled grounding cord with 4mm
Banana plug and 10mm Stud, see RS 552-898.
(EPA = Equalised Potential Area)
