  • Page 2: Key Features

    INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing Xytronic’s high power soldering station – the best solution for your soldering equipment needs especially for lead free applications! We believe that you will be more than satisfied with many features and the versatility of your new soldering station.
  • Page 3: Product Description

    The LF-1600 incorporates electronic circuitry which enables the user to alter tip temperature from 200 to 480℃ (392-896℉) without changing tips or heating elements.
  • Page 4 transient voltage spikes commonly produced by less efficient, mechanically switched stations. The power unit is isolated from the A.C. line by a transformer and allows only 32Vac to drive the heating element. The temperature “Lock-out” feature by “password” is convenient for production management. The many features of the product make it the ideal tool for service and repair technicians as well as production line soldering operations.

  • Page 6: Working Temperature

    WORKING TEMPERATURE To meet RoHS requirements, the 60/40 solder alloys are not allowed in the production process. The lead free solder alloys require a working temperature of 30℃ ( 54℉ ) higher than previous generation electrical soldering. The working temperature of solder is detailed below and can vary from manufacture to manufacture.

    CAUTIONS: REMEMBER, THE TIP IS HOT! The tip and barrel of the solder wand will cause serious burns if they are allowed to contact skin. Always return the solder wand to the safety holder after each use. DO NOT WORK ON LIVE CIRCUITS Before working on any mains powered equipment, make sure that it is turned off, and the mains plug is removed from the power point.

Press “▲” or “▼” key to change password set value. If the user sets “000” that means the unit will be under the status of no password.
  • Page 9 COMMON CAUSES OF TIP UNWETTING 1. Tip temperature higher than 410℃ (770℉). 2. The tip working surfaces are not tinned while the iron idling. 3. Lack of flux in soldering, wicking, repairing, and touch-up operations. 4. Wiping the tip on a high sulfur content, dirty or dry sponges and rags. 5.
  • Page 10: Maintenance

    IMPORTANT: Remove and clean the tip daily. If a new tip is installed, remove any loose build up in the barrel assembly, otherwise the tip may fuse to the heating element or retaining barrel. SMD TWEEZERS OPERATION For optional TWZ80 SMD Tweezers operations: *...
  • Page 11: General Cleaning

    GENERAL CLEANING The outer cover of the iron and station may be cleaned with a damp cloth using small amounts of liquid detergent. Never submerse the unit in liquid or allow any liquid to enter the case of the station. Never use any solvent to clean the case. SERVICE If the iron or station should become faulty or, for some reason not operate normally, the system should be returned to the service department of your authorized dealer or service...
