Install the solder wire to the soldering iron holder as in Figure 1. an little adjustment of the soldering iron temperature is required the follow ing procedure can be done. 1. Turn on the soldering iron function switch. 2. Set to appropriate temperature you want to calibrate. Place the tip of the soldering iron on an external temperature sensor. 3. The readings on the external temperature sensor should be more or less equal to the displayed temperature. Figure 1. Soldering iron stand with solder wire holder 4. If there are large discrepancy in the temperature reading we can re 2. Connect the soldering iron cord assembly to the 3pin output terminal calibrate temperature setting. ...
CONTROL PANEL GUIDE OPERATING GUIDELINES J.
