5. Setup

5.1 Initial Power-up and Charging

1. Plug the provided power adapter into an AC 110V or 220V wall socket.
2. Connect the adapter to the GLITTER 812A main unit.
3. Turn on the main power switch located on the back of the machine.
4. Charge the machine for approximately 20-30 minutes until the voltage display reaches 6V. The machine can be used while charging.

5.2 Connecting Welding Pens

The GLITTER 812A supports two types of welding pens: the 73B integrated mobile pen and the 73SA downward pressure welding head.

1. For 73B Integrated Mobile Pen: Insert the red and black connectors of the 73B welding pen into the corresponding red and black output ports on the front panel of the main unit. Ensure a secure connection.
2. For 73SA Downward Pressure Welding Head: Attach the 73SA head to the designated slot on the top of the main unit. Connect its cables to the output ports. Ensure the metal interface of the welding head does not touch together to prevent short circuits. Install the welding pins, ensuring they are parallel and tightened securely.

5.3 Connecting Soldering Iron

1. Connect the 912 electric soldering iron cable to the 'IRON' port on the front panel of the main unit.
2. Place the soldering iron in its stand.
3. Humidify the high-temperature sponge in the soldering iron stand with water.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Spot Welding Operation

The GLITTER 812A offers two welding trigger modes: AT (Auto Trigger) and MT (Foot Triggered).

1. Select Welding Mode: Use the control panel to select either AT or MT mode.
2. Adjust Energy Grade and Pulse Current: Based on the material and thickness of the workpiece, adjust the energy grade (0-99T) and pulse current using the parameter setting knob. Refer to the specifications table for recommended settings.
3. Perform Welding:
   • AT (Auto Trigger) Mode: The machine will automatically trigger a weld when the welding pins make proper contact with the workpiece.
   • MT (Foot Triggered) Mode: Press the foot pedal to initiate the weld once the welding pins are in position.
4. Needle Pressure Adjustment (for 73SA): The pressure between the welding needle and the workpiece can be adjusted according to the workpiece thickness. This ensures optimal contact and weld quality.

6.2 Constant Temperature Soldering Operation

1. Ensure the soldering iron is connected as described in Section 5.3.
2. Press the "POWER" key on the soldering station control panel to turn on the soldering function.
3. The default temperature will rise to 250°C. Adjust the temperature using the "+" and "-" keys. The temperature is adjustable between 250°C, 300°C, 350°C, 400°C, and 450°C.
4. The T12 integrated heating core heats up quickly, reaching 350°C in only 6-8 seconds.
5. Before and after soldering, clean the soldering iron tip on the humidified sponge to remove excess solder and oxidation.

7. Maintenance

• Regularly clean the welding pins and soldering iron tip to ensure optimal performance. Use a wire brush for welding pins and the humidified sponge for the soldering tip.
• Store the machine in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use.
• Inspect all cables and connections periodically for any signs of wear or damage. Replace damaged components immediately.
• Ensure proper ventilation around the machine during operation to prevent overheating.

8. Troubleshooting

9. User Tips

• Test Settings: Always perform test welds on scrap material of similar thickness and composition before working on your final project to fine-tune energy and pulse settings.
• Consistent Pressure: For spot welding, apply consistent downward pressure on the welding pen or head to ensure a strong and uniform weld spot. The self-balancing elastic device on the welding pen aids in this.
• Cleanliness is Key: Keep both welding pins and soldering tips clean. Residue can significantly reduce efficiency and weld/solder quality.
• Optimal Soldering Temperature: While 350°C is a common starting point for soldering, adjust the temperature based on the solder type and components. Higher temperatures can damage sensitive components, while lower temperatures may result in cold joints.
• Proper Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation, especially when soldering, to disperse fumes and maintain a safe working environment.
