CARE and SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CAUTION: Misuse may cause injury and physical damage. For your own safety, be sure to comply with the following precaution. ● Temperature may reach a high of 480°C when turned on. - Do not use near inflammable/flammable materials. - Do not touch heated parts, can cause severe burns.
ASSEMBL Y INSTRUCTIONS I. SOLDERING IRON HOLDER Dampen the cleaning sponge with water, squeeze it dry and place it in its base. SOLDERING IRON STAND III. SOLDERING IRON / TWEEZERS Attach the soldering iron or tweezers to the receptacle connector at the bottom right area of the main unit.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Follow procedures shown in the “Assembly Instructions”. Turn on the unit. Turning the control knob clockwise increases the desired (SET) temperature settings, while turning the knob counter-clockwise decreases the desired (SET) temperature settings. When the heater lamp blinks on and off then it means that the tip temperature has reached the set temperature and is ready for use.
SOLDER TIP CARE and MAINTENANCE Tip Temperature If the tip temperature is too high, it decreases the life of the tip. So we suggest you to use the lowest *possible* tip temperature when sol- dering. This not only prolong life of the tip, it also quickens heat recov- ery and decreases harm to sensitive components.
HAND PIECE ASSEMBL Y The hand piece may be disassembled for troubleshooting and repair: Turn off main station and unplug from power source. Detach the Soldering Iron Receptacle (“15” ) from the main unit. Turn the Copper Nut, (“1” ) counter clockwise to loosen it. Pull out the Tip Enclosure (“2”...
TESTING THE HEATING ELEMENT To test if the heating element is in working condition: Cool down assembly to room temperature before continuing the tests below: Follow “disassembling the hand piece” guide. Do the following tests on the hand piece PCB board: Resistance value of heating element 18 —...
TROUBLESHOOTING CONNECTIONS The 5 pin socket can be tested to detect faults in the hand piece: Before plugging in the hand piece conduct the conti- Pins 4 & 2 ∞ nuity test as shown: Pins 4 & 1 ∞ If any of the combination registers a short re- Pins 5 &...
REPLACING SOLDERING IRON CORD /FUSE When cord is proven to be faulty follow the steps to replace the cord: Follow the steps in disassembling the hand piece. Make a brief illustration of wire configuration in the PCB. Unsolder the wires connecting the hand piece PCB and cord to- gether.
BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE WARNING : To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, disconnect power cords before making any servicing to the equipment, or unless instructed otherwise in the trouble- shooting procedures. PROBLEM 1: THE UNIT HAS NO POWER /MAIN POWER LED DOES NOT LIGHT UP Check if the unit is switched ON.
