Page 2: Safety Precautions
SOLDERING STATION KIT MODELS These instructions are for the following electronic soldering stations. The model number of the electronic soldering station that you have received, is marked on the end of the carton. Model SL-5K is supplied without an iron. Model SL-5K-40 is supplied with a 40 watt soldering iron, grounded plug, Model SR-6. -
Page 3: Introduction To Soldering
INTRODUCTION TO SOLDERING Almost every electronic device today has a printed Flux circuit board. Whether you are assembling a PC Most solder contains flux in the hollow core of the board or repairing it, you must understand the basics solder allowing it to be applied automatically when of working with these boards. - Page 4 Types of Soldering Devices Tip Cleaning A number of different types of soldering devices: A good clean solder tip makes soldering much irons, guns and stations are available today. Irons easier. The tip should be tinned by lightly coating it are used for light to medium work and guns are for with solder to prevent it from oxidizing.
- Page 5 SOLDERING A poorly soldered joint can greatly affect small current flow in circuits and can cause equipment failure. You can damage a PC board or a component with too much heat or cause a cold solder joint with insufficient heat. Sloppy soldering can cause bridges between two adjacent foils preventing the circuit from functioning.
- Page 6 Heat Sinking Electronic components such as transistors, IC’s, and Soldering Iron diodes can be damaged by the heat during soldering. Solder Heat sinking is a way of reducing the heat on the PC Board components while soldering. Dissipating the heat can be achieved by using long nose pliers, an alligator clip, or a special heat dissipating clip.

Page 7: Circuit Operation
CIRCUIT OPERATION P N P N Anode Cathode THYRISTOR Gate A thyristor is a controlled silicon diode which is not conductive in Anode the reversed direction. It will only conduct in the forward direction Current when they are triggered by short pulse or steady voltage applied Flow Gate between the gate and cathode terminals (see Figure 8). -

PARTS LIST If you are a student, and any parts are missing or damaged, please see instructor or bookstore. If you purchased this kit from a distributor, catalog, etc., please contact Elenco ® Electronics (address/phone/e- mail is at the back of this manual) for additional assistance, if needed. DO NOT contact your place of purchase as they will not be able to help you. - Page 9 IDENTIFYING RESISTOR VALUES IDENTIFYING CAPACITOR VALUES Use the following information as a guide in properly identifying the Capacitors will be identified by their capacitance value in pF (picofarads), nF (nanofarads), or μF (microfarads). Most capacitors value of resistors. will have their actual value printed on them. Some capacitors may have their value printed in the following manner.

SWITCH ASSEMBLY Apply the front label to the case as shown in Slip the 3/4” dia. shrink tubing over the line cord as Figure F. shown in Figure I. Solder a 4” white wire to lug #3 as shown in Figure G. Solder the black line cord wire to the #2 lug as shown in Figure I. - Page 11 AC RECEPTACLE ASSEMBLY Type A Back of AC Receptacle Cut the 2”, 1/4" dia. shrink tubing into two 1” pieces. Determine which type of AC receptacle you received in your kit (type A or B). Solder a 4” red wire to lug #2 as shown in Figure K. Snap the AC receptacle into the opening on the 4”...
- Page 12 SOLDERING WIRES TO THE PC BOARD (see Figure N) Solder the black wire from the switch to point A on the PC Board. Solder the red wire from the AC receptacle to point B on the PC Board. Remove the ground screw on the AC receptacle. Place the lug on the green wire from the line cord under the screw and tighten it.
- Page 13 Check your wiring if your readings are different. Measure the resistance from pin #1 of the plug to pin 1 of SCR on the PC board as shown in Figure P. Switch set to OFF Infinite Switch set to ON less than 1Ω...
- Page 14 MOUNTING PC BOARD TO CASE Cable Tie Figure T Insert the PC board into the case and then secure the PC board to the case with a washer and nut (see Figure U). Use the cable tie to secure the wires as shown in Figure T. Turn the pot fully counter-clockwise and push on the knob in the position shown in Figure V.
