3. Setup Instructions
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts listed in the packing list are present.
- Connecting the Soldering Iron: Connect the soldering iron handle to the designated port on the soldering station.
- Power Connection: Connect the power cord to the soldering station and then to a suitable power outlet (AC110-240V).
- Heating Core Installation:
Figure 2: Heating Core Installation The heating core can be installed with the aid of the soldering frame. Select the appropriate large hole in the soldering iron stand to press the heating core to the end. The use of auxiliary mounting holes can effectively protect the edge of the soldering iron head.
- Initial Power On: Flip the power switch to turn on the station. The display will light up, and the station will automatically begin heating to the last set temperature.
4. Operating Instructions
Watch the video below for a demonstration of the basic operation and settings adjustment.
4.1 Power On/Off
Open the power switch. The station will automatically heat up after booting.
4.2 Temperature Adjustment
The temperature range is 180℃-450℃ (356℉-842℉). Press the "*" key to enter the menu. If a password is set, you need to enter it first. Use the up "↑" and down "↓" keys to adjust the temperature. Pressing the keys briefly allows for slow adjustment, while a long press enables quick adjustment.
4.3 Temperature Compensation
The temperature compensation range is -50°C to 450°C (-90°F to 126°F). This setting allows for fine-tuning the displayed temperature to match actual tip temperature.
4.4 Temperature Display Switching
Switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) display modes as needed.
4.5 Password Settings
The station supports password protection to prevent unauthorized changes to settings. To set a password, you need to enter it twice to confirm. If you forget the password, press and hold the three keys (up, down, and menu) and boot the device when you shut it down to reset.
4.6 Sleep Settings
The sleep function can be set from OFF to 99 seconds. When enabled, if the soldering iron handle is not operated on the bracket for the set time, it will automatically enter sleep mode. The temperature during hibernation is 180°C.
4.7 Automatic Warm-up
The station features automatic warm-up after picking up the soldering iron from its stand, quickly reaching the set working temperature.
4.8 Saving Settings
After adjusting parameters, ensure to save the settings before exiting the menu.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning the Soldering Iron Tip
Regularly clean the soldering iron tip using the clean ball placement in the stand to prevent oxidation and ensure optimal performance.
5.2 Replacing the Heating Core
When the heating core temperature is high, the soldering iron frame can be used to assist in removing the heating core. Use the blade set on the soldering iron rack to take out the heating core from the soldering iron.
6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Sensor Abnormal Alarm
If the display shows "S-E", it indicates a sensor abnormality. Check the connection of the soldering iron handle and the heating core. If the issue persists, the sensor or heating core may need replacement.
6.2 Heating Core Short Circuit Protection
If the display shows "H-E", it indicates a heating core short circuit. Immediately power off the station and inspect the heating core for damage or improper installation. Replace the heating core if necessary.
6.3 General Issues
- Station not heating: Check power connection, ensure the power switch is on, and verify the heating core is properly installed.
- Inaccurate temperature: Use the temperature compensation feature to calibrate the temperature. Ensure the soldering tip is clean and properly seated.
