2. Measure the resistance value 'a', 'b', and 'c'
to confirm that the leads are not twisted and
that the grounding spring is properly con-
nected.
METHODS OF TESTING THE SOLDERING IRON
CORD
1. Turn the unit ON and set the temperature
control knob to 480˚C. Then wiggle and kink
the iron cord at various locations along its
length, including in the strain relief area. If the
LED heater lamp flickers, then the cord needs
to be replace.
WARNING: The LED heater lamp will flicker
even with a normal Iron cord if the tempera-
ture reaches 480˚ C.
2. Check the resistance between the pin of the
plug and the wire on the terminal.
Pin1: black · Pin2: yellow · Pin3: green · Pin4:
white · Pin5: red, the value should be 0 Ω. If it
is greater than 0 Ω or is ∞, the cord should be
replaced.
REPLACING THE FUSE
Refer to the drawing in the replacement parts
section of this manual. Desolder the blown
fuse and remove it. Solder on a new one.
TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING: Disconnect the power plug be-
fore servicing. Failure to do so may result in
electric shock. If the power cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by a service center or a quali-
fied person in order to avoid personal injury or
damage to the unit.
THE HEATER LAMP DOES NOT LIGHT UP
Is the fuse blown? Determine why the fuse
blew and eliminate the cause, then replace the
fuse.
a. Is the inside of the iron short -circuited?
b. Is the grounding spring touching the heat-
ing element?
c. Is the heating element lead twisted and
short-circuited?
Is the power cord and/or connecting plug dis-
connected? Connect it.
THE HEATER LAMP LIGHTS UP BUT THE TIP
DOES NOT HEAT UP
Is the soldering iron cord broken? Refer to
'Checking for breakage in the cord assembly.'
Is the heating Element broken? Refer to 'Check-
ing for breakage in the heating element'
THE TIP HEATS UP INTERMITTENTLY
Is the soldering iron cord broken? Refer to
'Checking for breakage in the cord assembly.'
THE TIP IS NOT WET
Is the tip temperature too high? Set an appro-
priate temperature.
Is the tip clean? Refer to 'Tip Care and Use'
THE TIP TEMPERATURE IS TOO LOW
Is the tip coated with oxide? Refer to "Inspect
and clean the tip".
Is the iron calibrated correctly? Recalibrate.
THE TIP CAN NOT BE PULLED OFF
Is the tip seized? Is the tip swollen because of
deterioration? Replace the tip and the heating
element.
THE TIP DOESN'T HOLD THE DESIRED TEM-
PERATURE
Is the iron calibrated correctly? Recalibrate.
