soldering station PSIS 11-230V
Operation
General information:
•
The parts to be soldered must be clean and must not show
any signs of an oxide layer. If required, remove any oxide
deposits with alcohol or steel wool.
•
Use a suitable mat to protect the working surface from
splashes resulting from soldering.
•
Avoid vibrations on the workpiece during the cooling
phase. This can lead to 'cold solder joints'.
•
Prior to starting soldering work, use some solder to tin-
coat the clean soldering tip.
•
Do not use the maximum temperature longer than
absolutely necessary. This will increase the working life of
your soldering tip.
•
Once the solder starts melting on the soldering tip, the
required temperature has been reached. If clots begin to
form, the temperature is too low.
•
If the soldering tip does no longer work properly, try
cleaning it using fine sand paper. Afterwards, tin-coat the
soldering tip again by applying some solder and soldering
flux around the tip, then heat the tip.
Soldering wires together
•
Use a wire stripper to remove the cable jacket.
•
Twist the thin cable wires with each other, then add some
solder by gently heating the cable end with the soldering
iron. Due to the capillary effect, the molten solder is
sucked into the twisted cable end.
•
If available, use a soldering aid (helping hand) for aligning
the cables next to each other.
•
Using the soldering tip, heat both aligned cable ends and
add further solder. Soldering has been successful once
both wire ends are covered by a joint solder tin coat.
Soldering boards
•
Prepare the elements to be soldered by bending the
connection wires according to the holes of the breadboard.
•
Insert the connection wires into the board whilst slightly
bending the wires to ensure that the components are being
kept in the right position.
•
Heat the solder pad and the connection wire with the
soldering iron, then add some solder to the heated solder
joint.
•
Make sure that the molten solder entirely covers the solder
pad and surrounds the connection wire completely.
Switching the device on
Wear your personal protective equipment when working with
the device.
Note
Make sure that there is a soldering tip in the soldering
iron. Never heat the soldering iron without a soldering
tip!
Note
Always use the soldering iron holder for the intervals
while heating the soldering iron, for breaks between
the work steps and while the soldering iron is cooling
down (
