CONTROLS, INDICATOR & BUZZER
A. Controls
The front panel of the soldering station has a control knob to set the temperature.
B. Light Indicators
There are two indicators on the left side of the panel. The top one is the power
indicator and the bottom one is the heater lamp.
The power indicator will light when current is being supplied to the station.
The heater lamp blinks on and off when the tip temperature is reaching the set
temperature. When the set temperature has been reached the light will be off.

B. Buzzer
An audible buzzer is provided to alert the operator when:
● The station has reached the set temperature.
A failure has occurred in the sensor or heater (including the sensor
●
circuit). The buzzer will sound continuously.
The soldering station is preset at 200
rise to the temperature set on the knob when the station is turned on. Always
be careful on handling the soldering iron because the temperature rises
quickly.

OPERATION
A. Changing the temperature setting
1. Turn the power ON.
2. Adjust the control knob to set the desired temperature from 200 ­ 480
Tip temperature rises quickly to desired setting. A beep sound will be heard
when desired temperature has been reached. Temperature drop is dependent
on the surrounding environment and takes time to cool down.
B. Replacing the tip
1. Always turn the power OFF when removing or inserting a tip.
2. When the tip is hot, hold it with the heat resistant pad and pull it out.
3. Insert the new tip fully into the handle. If the tip is not fully inserted, beeping
sound will be heard when power is turned on.
C. Calibrating the iron temperature
This method requires measuring the tip temperature with a tip thermometer and is
recommended for the most accurate process control.
1. Measure the tip temperature through an external thermometer.
NOTE: Allow the tip temperature to become stable.
2. Set the temperature control knob to 400
3. When the temperature stabilizes, insert a straight edge (­) screwdriver or small
plus (+) screwdriver to the small hole above the control buttons.
4. Turn the screw counterclockwise to increase the temperature and clockwise to
reduce the temperature. Slowly adjust until the temperature offsets.
