Initial Operation - Conrad Electronic ST50-D 50W Operating Instructions Manual

Initial operation

- Unpack the soldering station and check all parts for damages.
Damaged parts may not be put into operation.
- Place the support for the soldering iron on the side next to the
soldering station. Wet the sponge in the sponge rest with water.
- Plug the soldering iron into the 5-pole socket on the soldering sta-
tion. The plug only fits in the right polarity.
- Place the soldering iron in the support stand. Note that the metal
dish of the support stand heats up over the course of time.
- Place the soldering station onto a stable and robust surface.
- Connect the mains plug with a live outlet and switch the soldering
station on at the mains switch (I = ON / 0 = OFF).
- Set the desired soldering tip temperature at the temperature con-
trol (approx. 270 - 360°C for plumbiferous solder).
- Alternatively you can also set the temperature via the function
keys by pressing them (PRESET 1-3).The buttons are pre-pro-
grammed with the following temperature values:
PRESET 1
PRESET 2
PRESET 3
To change the preset position, briefly press another button. You
leave a preset position by changing the temperature control.
- The bar display (2) shows the heating output of the soldering iron.
The number of bars decreases when the nominal temperature was
reached. If the temperature is exceeded when decreasing, the dis-
play goes off until the correct temperature has been reached
again.
Only hold the soldering iron by its handle. Never
touch the hot soldering tip or the shaft. Danger of
burning!
Always place the soldering iron into the soldering iron
support while it heats up and when taking breaks
during soldering.
