• Check to ensure that the power cord is
securely plugged into the back of the
unit and that the unit is plugged into a
grounded, working outlet.
• Ensure the main power switch on the
back of the unit is switched to the on
position.
• Ensure the appropriate component's
power switch is turned on (front of unit).
• Check for a blown fuse on the main
power input and replace it if needed.
• Contact X-Tronic (info on back cover).
• This is expected behavior. The "rattle" is a
small ball that allows the unit to determine
when the soldering iron is not in use and
it should go into Sleep Mode.
• The unit is no longer sensing the element
- the heating element may be cracked
or worn out and needs to be replaced.

• Ensure the soldering iron is not damaged
and in good working condition.
• The soldering tip could be oxidized, it is

be replaced. Replacements can be
purchased on our website: www.

• Ensure the soldering iron is securely
attached to the unit.
