OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the soldering iron in the holder.
2. Turn the unit on with the power switch on the back of the unit.
3. Set the desired temperature using the thermostat knob on the
front of the unit. The desired temperature will flash on the display
indicating it is being set.
4. The temperature on the display will then return to the current
temperature of the iron and will show the temperature as the iron
heats up or cools down to the selected desired temperature.
5. Wait for the unit to stabilize at the desired temperature. This could
take up to 1 minute to ensure the tip is fully heated to the new
temperature.
6. Remove the iron from the holder and flood the tip with a good
quality rosin core solder-preferably 63/37 or 60/40 grade solder.
7. Wipe the tip across the moist sponge to remove excess solder.
The tip should then be shiny.
8. The soldering iron is now ready to solder. Proceed according to
your standard working practice.
CELSIUS / FAHRENHEIT CONVERSION
To switch between displaying the temperature in Celsius or
Fahrenheit, press and hold the Menu Knob for approximately 3
seconds. The display will show either °C or °F depending on what
the current setting is. To change this setting, simply turn the knob.
After 5 seconds the unit will auto save the setting and return to the
temperature setting and is ready for use.
SLEEP FUNCTION
If the soldering iron sits idle in the soldering iron holder for 10
minutes (default time), Sleep Mode will be activated. The screen
will flash "SLP" and the soldering iron will cool down to 90°C
(194°F). To bring the unit out of Sleep Mode, simply pick up the
soldering iron from the holder.
Note: The unit will NOT go into sleep mode unless the soldering iron is
in the holder.
