3. Commissioning

Place the soldering tool in the holder. Insert compressed air
hose with 6 mm outer diameter in the quick action coupling
(12). Provide supply of compressed air with 400 kPa (58 psi)
dry, oil-free compressed air or nitrogen (N2).
Warning: When using nitrogen, attention must be paid to
satisfactory room ventilation.
Plug the electrical lead from the soldering tool in the 7 pole
socket (7) on the front panel and lock. Connect the compres-
sed air hose to the compressed air connection nipple (8).
Check that the mains voltage matches that on the rating
plate and that the mains switch (1) is in the off position. If the
mains voltage is correct, plug the control unit into the mains.
Warning: Do not direct hot air soldering tools at people
or inflammable objects.
Switch on the unit at the mains switch (1). When the unit is
switched on, a self-test is performed during which all the
indicators (2) are illuminated. The temperature set (required
value) and the temperature scale (°C/°F) are then briefly dis-
played. The electronics then switch automatically to the dis-
play of the actual value. The red dot (5) on the display (2) illu-
minates. This dot serves as an optical regulation monitor.
Continuous illumination means that the system is heating
up. Flashing indicates that the operating temperature has
been reached.

Setting the temperature
The digital display (2) shows the actual value temperature.
By pressing the UP or DOWN key (3, 4) the digital display (2)
switches to the setpoint. The setpoint can be changed by
tapping or by firmly pressing the UP or DOWN button (3, 4)
in the desired direction. Pressing the button will change the
setpoint quickly. The digital display (2) returns automatically
to the actual value approximately 2 seconds after releasing
the button.
Adjusting the Air Flow Rate
The air flow rate required can be adjusted at the flow control
valve (9). Turning the control valve (9) to the left increases
the flow rate. Air is fed to the hot air soldering tool as long
as the finger operated switch is held down.
Standard setback:
Setting back the set temperature to 150°C. The setback
time, which follows the switching of the soldering station to
standby mode, is 20 minutes. After three setback times (60
minutes) the "Auto-off" function is activated. The soldering
tool is switched off (blinking line on the display).
Setting: When switching on, hold the "UP" key (3) until ON or
OFF appears in the display. The setting is saved when the
"UP" button is released. Repeat this step to change.
