First use
Switching on / off
Switching on
•Connect the plug into a suitable mains socket and move the ON / OFF
switch (1) into position "I".
•The temperature (200°C) is displayed on the LC display (6) for 3 seconds.
The the actual temperature (15) is displayed on the LC display (6)
afterwards.
NOTE
•Before use, remove the protective cap from the soldering tip (4).
•Before using the digital soldering station for the first time and also when using
a new soldering tip (4), the soldering tip (4) must be tinned first.
Setting the temperature
NOTE
•The prerequisite for perfect soldering is the use of suitable solder. In addition,
perfect soldering can only be achieved when the correct soldering
temperature is achieved. If the soldering temperature is too low, the solder
does not flow sufficiently and causes dirty soldering joints (so-called cold
soldering joints). Due to soldering temperatures which are too
high, the solder burns and the solder does not flow. In addition, the materials
to be processed can be destroyed.
The following temperature settings are for the most common applications.
Differences are possible depending on the solder / manufacturer.
•Approx. 200°C Melting point of the most commonly used soft solder.
•Approx. 300°C Normal operation, e.g. when using lead-free solder.
•Approx. 400°C high soldering temperature, e.g. for removing solder from
small soldered joints.
•Approx. 450°C maximum soldering temperature, e.g. for removing solder
from larger soldered joints.
Setting the working temperature
•Press the + / - button (9) / (10) to change the working temperature in 10°
increments.
•The current temperature setting (15) will be displayed on the LC display (6).
Note
•Hold the + / - button (9) / (10) down to continually change the working
temperature in 10° increments. Release the + / - button (9) / (10) when you
