Check the tip sleeve nut is tightened.
TROUBLESHOOTING
OPERATION
CALIBRATION
•
Before using the soldering iron for the first time, wet the cleaning sponge and
place it in the iron holder tray. Keep it damp during use.
WARNING:
switch off the mains power before connecting or disconnecting the iron or
the control station may be damaged.
•
Connect the soldering iron to the control station by inserting the connector and
tightening the locking ring finger tight.
•
Place the iron in the holder and turn on the mains power.
Setting the temperature:
•
Rotate the control so the mark on the control points to the temperature required.
•
The control as a locking feature so the temperature can be fixed to avoid
unintentional adjustment. Tighten the hex screw lightly to lock the control.
•
When the set temperature is reached the LED will flash and the iron is ready for
use.
•
Do not attempt to rotate the control with the locking screw tightened.
•
Avoid leaving the iron set to high temperatures for prolonged periods of time
without use or the tip may become oxidised and the efficiency will be reduced.
•
After use wipe the tip clean and tin with fresh solder to prevent oxidation during
periods when the iron is not being used.
Note:
calibration may be needed after changing the tip for one of a different shape.
•
Set the temperature to 400°C and use a tip thermometer to verify the actual tip
temperature.
•
If the actual temperature is low, rotate the calibration potentiometer clockwise and
if it is high turn it counter clockwise until the tip is within tolerance.
•
Always turn the power off when removing or inserting a tip.
•
Allow the soldering tip to cool down to room temperature.
•
Unscrew the retaining nut and remove the outer sleeve.
•
Pull off the tip and replace with a new soldering tip.
•
Reassemble in reverse sequence.
