● 20:Ready signal delay time You can set the delay time after the HAKKO FU-601 gets ready (ie., the temperature of the tip reaches the set value) until the Iron Ready signal becomes on. Delay time setting range : 0 - 60 sec.
● 24:Tip setting TX1 series of the tip (for the HAKKO FU-600) can be connected to the HAKKO FU-601. CAUTION Be sure to selected the tip of the kind used when you use a different kind of the tip. Failure to do this may result in a tip temperature that is much higher or lower than the previous one.

5. Inspecting and cleaning the tip This procedure, if followed daily, will materially add to tip life. a. Set the temperature to 250℃ (482℉). b. When the temperature stabilizes, clean the tip and check the condition of the tip. If the tip is badly worn or deformed, replace it. c.
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℉).
10. ERROR MESSAGES CAUTION If any of the errors occur, the Ready signal output to the HAKKO FU-500 will be “Not Ready”. ● 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.
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.
