CONTROLS, INDICATOR & BUZZER OPERATION A. Controls A. Changing the temperature setting The front panel of the soldering station has a control knob to set the temperature. 1. Turn the power ON. o 2. Adjust the control knob to set the desired temperature from 200 480 C. B. Light Indicators There are two indicators on the left side of the panel. The top one is the power Tip temperature rises quickly to desired setting. A beep sound will be heard indicator and the bottom one is the heater lamp. when desired temperature has been reached. Temperature drop is dependent on the surrounding environment and takes time to cool down. The power indicator will light when current is being supplied to the station. B. Replacing the tip The heater lamp blinks on and off when the tip temperature is reaching the set 1. Always turn the power OFF when removing or inserting a tip. ...
