    Functional description Functional description Operation The soldering station is switched on and off by the mains switch on the front side a. The soldering station is controlled via a rotary encoder b with pushbutton function. It is called i-OP. The i-OP makes it possible to select desired functions or to change values. Clockwise turning results in higher values and counter-clockwise turning in lower values. Slow turning effects change in increments of one. Quick turning changes the selected values in increments of 10/50/100 (depending on the corre- sponding parameter). The i-OP has an additional pushbutton function. Via this pushbutton function (push- ing), the selected parameters and values are confirmed and become effective for the station. All setting steps and measured values are displayed in plain text in a clearly structured display window, which is simply referred to as “Display”. 3BA00268-1 • Rev. 1...

  • Page 44: Error Diagnosis And Remedy

    Error diagnosis and remedy Error diagnosis and remedy If the soldering station does not operate as expected, check the following items: • Is main voltage present? Correctly connect the mains lead to the de- vice and socket. • Is the fuse defect? The fuse can be found at the rear side of the de- vice in the mains connecting socket. • Note that a defective fuse may also indicate a deeper cause of error. Simply changing the fuse therefore generally does not suffice. • Is the soldering tool correctly connected to the supply unit? • The station permanently only displays the room temperature. This in- dicates a fault on the heater or in the supply line. If the station is in idle state, the room temperature will also be dis- played after a few minutes! • The display is switched off and no longer displays anything, but the mains switch continues to be illuminated. In this case, the soldering station is overloaded.
