digital soldering station PSIS 10-230V
Setting the temperature
Temperatures between 200 °C and 450 °C can be selected on
the device. The following temperatures are used for the most
common applications:
•
200 °C: Melting point of one of the most commonly used
soft solders
•
300 °C: Normal operation, e.g. when using lead-free solder
•
400 °C: High temperature for soldering, e.g. for
unsoldering smaller solder joints
•
450 °C: Maximum temperature for soldering, e.g. for
unsoldering larger solder joints
Note
If the soldering temperature is too low, the solder is not
liquid enough. The result are cold solder joints. If the
soldering temperature is too high, the solder will burn
which also prevents the solder from being liquid
enough. In addition, damages can be caused on the
materials to be treated.
1. Press the
+
(
14
) or the
-
(
15
) button to set the working
temperature in increments of 10 °C.
ð
The current target temperature is indicated on the
display (
16
) while the settings are being made.
The temperature adjustment can either be made with the
+
(
14
)
or the
-
(
15
) button or via 3 pre-programmed temperature
values: 200 °C / 300 °C / 400 °C.
1. Press one of the buttons for preselecting the
temperature (
17
),
18
) or (
19
) to set the desired
temperature value.
ð
An arrow indicates the selected temperature in the
preset temperature display (
20
).
Using a soldering sponge
The soldering sponge (
6
) integrated in the holder (
4
) serves for
cleaning the soldering tip (
8
).

1. Moisten the sponge (
6
) before using it.
Note
The hot soldering tip must never come into contact with a dry
soldering sponge. Otherwise, the soldering sponge may be
damaged.
Soldering
Caution
Inhaled vapours can cause e.g. headaches and
symptoms of fatigue. Always provide sufficient fresh
air supply during soldering.
1. Clean the soldering tip (
8
) with the moistened soldering
sponge (
6
).
2. The soldering tip has to be tin-coated after cleaning. To do
so, melt some solder with the hot soldering tip.
3. Approach the soldering tip closely to the solder joint and
heat it.
4. Then melt the solder between solder joint and soldering
tip.
5. Add further solder until the entire solder joint is covered.
6. Remove the soldering tip to avoid overheating the molten
solder.
7. Allow the solder to cool down. Avoid vibrations.
Note
Soldering flux is required to perform soldering work.
The soldering flux is either part of the soldering agent
or must be applied separately. Find out more about a
suitable soldering agent for your intended application.
