8. MAINTENANCE Performing proper and periodic maintenance extends product life and contributes to the quality of soldering work. Efficient soldering depends upon the temperature, the quality and quantity of the solder and flux. Apply the following service procedure as dictated by the conditions of the usage. WARNING Since the soldering iron can reach a very high temperature, please work carefully.
9. CHECKING PROCEDURE WARNING Unless otherwise directed, carry out these procedures with power switch OFF and the power UNPLUGGED. ■Check for a broken heater or sensor Verify the electrical integrity of the heater and sensor. Measure the resistance of the heater and sensor while at room temperature (15℃ to 25℃; 59 to 77℉) It should be 3.4Ω±10%.
10. ERROR MESSAGES ● Sensor error When there is possibility that a failure has occured in the sensor or heater (including the sensor circuit), is displayed and a buzzer sounds. ● Soldering iron error is displayed and a buzzer sounds if the iron cable is not attached to the station or wrong soldering iron is connected.
11. TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE ● The unit does not operate when the power switch is turned ON. CHECK : Is the power cord and/or the connection plug disconnected? ACTION : Connect it. CHECK : Is the fuse down? ACTION : Investigate why the fuse blew and then replace the fuse. If the fuse blows again, send the unit in for repair.
