APPLICATION
Recommended for professionals, especially for low-heat soldering of
communications and high-current electrical equipment, wiring, connectors,
switches. The temperature of the fast-heating, high-performance soldering iron
can be controlled over a wide range. This gives it a wide range of uses. The
temperature can be conveniently set and monitored to suit the materials to be
soldered. Approximate temperature values can be read from the digital display.
Includes a spare tip set with different sizes and shapes of soldering tips. These
are nickel-plated parts for longer life.
Its power is max 80 W, which typically varies between ~5-15 W at constant
temperature, and up to ~25 W depending on the set temperature and usage.
COMMISSIONING
Place the soldering iron safely on a heat-resistant surface or in a heat-resistant
holder or stand (not included). Connect it to the mains. Only touch the handle
with your hand! The soldering iron heats the soldering tip until the desired
temperature is reached. When heating or changing temperature, a soldering
tip symbol is displayed in the top right corner. It goes out when the soldering tip
has reached the desired temperature. After switching on (plugging in), the last
unit of measurement (°C or °F) used and the last steady-state temperature is
the current setting.
Its performance is affected by the conditions of use. E.g., if you are soldering
a larger metal surface or object (which is more heat conductive), or if the
preparation of the surfaces to be soldered is not appropriate. Surfaces must be
clean, free from grease, oxidation; the use of soldering aids and fluxes (solder
paste, solder cream, solder resin, solder oil, solder water, solder gel) suitable for
the material is recommended.
Use the +/- buttons to set the temperature for your application. Pressing a
button will change the step by one degree, but holding it down will make the
step continuous. The set temperature is stored 3 seconds after the last button is
pressed. After powering off, it will operate at this temperature the next time it is
used. On average, this takes 30-50 seconds. The temperature range available:
~180 – 480 °C. The display shows the target value and whether the temperature
of the soldering tip has reached it.
The device is switched off by disconnecting the power. After use, unplug it and
leave it to cool naturally in a heat-resistant, safe place. Make sure that the hot
appliance cannot cause an accident during and after use! Do not touch objects
other than the workpiece! Put it down so that it cannot move (roll) out of its
place, causing an accident! It is recommended to get a stand for it! Do not allow
children, pets, etc. near the hot appliance!
On the first use, dip the hot soldering tip into the soldering resin and coat it with
soldering iron. This significantly extends the life of the soldering tip.
• The +/- buttons do not disconnect the product! Unplug the power cord after
use!
• Let it cool naturally!
• The mains power cord must never come into contact with hot parts! If the cable
is damaged, it must be disconnected immediately and must not be used again!
• The temperature displayed is indicative. To achieve the most accurate
measurement available, it is recommended to calibrate individually and repeat
the calibration annually. See details later.
• Do not use too much tin, only as much as is absolutely necessary!
• Preferably work with a soldering iron filled with resin!
• If you are using another liquefying agent instead of or in addition to resin, it
may be acidic. (soldering paste, soldering oil, soldering cream...) Remove any
residues after soldering!
• Different compositions of solder can have significantly different melting points,
which can increase soldering time - or require different temperature settings.
• Larger workpieces draw more heat from the soldering iron, so soldering time
will be longer.
• If possible, do not hold the workpiece in your hand, but place it in a clamp or
on a support stand.
• Be aware that overheating may cause damage to the components or
connectors being soldered!
• Operate the device intermittently, disconnecting the power during soldering
breaks.
• Recommended soldering time: 18-20 sec
• When placed on the stand, after about 5 minutes you can switch to economy
mode, then grab the handle and use it again to start heating again.
SELECTING THE MEASUREMENT UNIT
You can select the unit of measurement for the displayed temperature value
by pressing and holding the +/- buttons together while plugging it in. The two
options available are: Celsius or Fahrenheit degrees. After applying voltage,
the (-) button can be used to select °C or °F unit of measuring. The desired
unit of measurement can then be memorised by pressing the two buttons
simultaneously. The appliance does not heat up during set-up.
CALIBRATION
After 90 seconds after switching on, touch a temperature measuring device (not
included) to the soldering tip by adding a little solder. The soldering tin helps
the heat transfer between the tip and the sensor of the measuring instrument.
Once the temperature on the gauge has stabilised - after a few seconds - record
the reading on the temperature measuring device. Move the thermometer
away from the soldering tip and press the +/- buttons together to activate the
calibration mode. Perform the calibration as follows:
If the measured temperature is higher than the set temperature, then use the "-"
button to adjust the difference between the two values and press the +/- buttons
together to finalise the calibration.
If the measured temperature is lower than the set temperature, then use the "-"
button to adjust the difference between the two values and press the +/- buttons
together to finalise the calibration.
Example: if the measured temperature is 330 °C, and the set value is
320 °C, the "-" button must be set to "-10" so that the temperature measured
after calibration is the same as the set temperature.
• The maximum and minimum temperature compensation available: +/- 99 ˛°C.
• It is best suited for achieving linear variation of real temperature values for
additional temperature settings, if calibration is set at the value of 320 °C.
• After completing the calibration, the expected difference is < ±4 °C.
• When the temperature value is set - while operating the buttons - the heating of
the soldering iron is switched off to avoid any risk of accident, and then starts
again after exiting the settings.
