5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Quick Temperature Adjustment (Main Interface)
When password protection is not set, you can directly adjust the setting temperature by pressing the “↑” (Up) and “↓” (Down) keys on the Main interface. After setting, the temperature will blink three times, and the iron will heat up or cool down to the new value. (Note: This state setting parameter will not be saved when power is off).
5.2. Preset Function (CH1, CH2, CH3)
From the Main interface, press the “CH1/CH2/CH3” key to quickly set the temperature to one of the three preset values:
- CH1: 350℃ / 662°F (Suitable for micro welding)
- CH2: 400℃ / 725°F (Suitable for general welding)
- CH3: 450℃ / 842°F (Suitable for sensitive components)
To modify a preset: Hold down a “CH1/CH2/CH3” key for more than one second. If a password is set, enter it first. Use the “↑” or “↓” keys to change the preset value, then press “*” to save and exit.
5.3. Menu Settings
Press the “*” key to enter the menu setting options. Use the “↑” and “↓” keys to navigate through the menu items. Press “*” again to enter a specific setting, then use “↑” and “↓” to adjust values, and “*” to confirm and save.
5.3.1. Soldering Iron Temperature Setting (-1-)
- Navigate to “-1-” in the menu.
- Adjust the desired temperature using “↑” and “↓” keys.
- Range: 100℃ ~ 480℃ (212°F ~ 896°F).
- Press “*” to confirm and save.
5.3.2. Soldering Iron Compensation Temperature Setting (-2-)
- Navigate to “-2-” in the menu.
- Adjust the compensation value using “↑” and “↓” keys.
- Range: -50℃ ~ 50℃ (-90°F ~ 90°F), default: 0°C.
- Example: If set temperature is 350°C and actual is 345°C, add 5°C compensation. If set is 350°C and actual is 355°C, subtract 5°C.
- We recommend using a 191/192 thermometer to measure the temperature of the soldering tip for accurate compensation.
- Press “*” to confirm and save.
5.3.3. Set the Sleep Delay of the Soldering Tip (-3-)
This function protects components, prolongs service life, and reduces oxidation of the soldering iron tip.
- Navigate to “-3-” in the menu.
- Adjust the sleep delay time (10Min~60Min) or set to OFF using “↑” and “↓” keys.
- Press “*” to confirm and save.
After sleep is started, the handle stands on the soldering stand without vibration and button operation. When the system automatically times out, it will automatically sleep after the set time. The screen displays “---” and the “sleep mark” lights up. To wake up, press any key.
If the sleep lasts for more than one hour, the system automatically enters standby mode and turns off the heater. The “STANDBY” icon lights up.
| Working Setting Temperature | Sleep Temperature |
|---|---|
| <150°C | 50°C |
| <200°C | 100°C |
| ≥200°C | 180°C |
5.3.4. Fahrenheit/Celsius Switch Setting (-4-)
- Navigate to “-4-” in the menu.
- Toggle between °C and °F using “↑” and “↓” keys.
- Press “*” to confirm and save.
5.3.5. Password Setting (-5-)
This function prevents unauthorized system setup.
- Set Password: Navigate to “-5-” in the menu. Enter the desired 3-digit password (000-999) twice using “↑” and “↓” keys, then press “*” to confirm.
- Change Password: Enter the old password once, then the new password twice.
- Clear Password (if forgotten): When the host is off, press and hold the “*”, “↑”, and “↓” keys simultaneously. Then turn on the main power switch and release the keys after “000” is displayed to clear the password.
5.3.6. Exit Menu (-0-)
- Navigate to “-0-” in the menu.
- Press “*” to exit the menu and return to the main interface.
6. Maintenance
To ensure normal operation and prolong the service life of your soldering station, please follow these maintenance guidelines:
6.1. New Soldering Tip Tinning
The soldering iron tip is a consumable part. Proper tinning is crucial for its longevity.
- Before first use, adjust the iron temperature to 200°C.
- Fully coat the tin part of the iron tip with a layer of solder.
- After the tip is fully tinned, clean it on the cleaning sponge.
- Adjust the temperature to 300°C, repeat the previous steps (tinning and cleaning).
- Finally, set the temperature to your appropriate use temperature.
6.2. Daily Use and Maintenance
- Each time before use, wipe the soldering tip clean on a cleaning sponge and then tin it.
- Do not let the soldering tip stay at too high a temperature for a long time, as this can easily crack the electric coating on the tip surface.
- When soldering, do not apply too much pressure or friction to the soldering spot. This will not change the thermal conductivity but will damage the soldering tip.
- Before shutting down, wipe the soldering tip clean and apply a layer of tin to protect it.
6.3. Soldering Tip Soldering Surface Oxide Cleaning
- When there is black oxide or dirt on the tin layer of the soldering tip and it cannot be tinned, it should be cleaned immediately.
- First, adjust the iron temperature to 200℃, then clean the soldering tip with a cleaning sponge repeatedly until the oxide is removed.
- If there is serious oxide on the soldering tip, use 600-800 mesh emery cloth and alcohol carefully as needed to remove dirt or oxide.
6.4. Replace the Soldering Tip
Please replace the soldering tip with a Bakon 500 series soldering tip.
- Turn off the soldering power before replacement.
- Remove the soldering tip after its temperature drops to room temperature.
- Clean any foreign matter in the sleeve.
- Replace with the new soldering tip and tin it according to the steps in section 6.1.
7. Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below for common fault codes and their solutions:
| Fault Code | Solutions |
|---|---|
| S-E (Sensor open, handle not connected, or abnormal) | Connect the soldering handle or replace with another soldering handle. |
| H-E (Abnormal temperature rise, continuous full power heating without heating) | Do not solder large solder joints for a long time. Power on again to return to normal. |
| t-E (Internal temperature too high, heating output stopped for thermal protection) | Wait for the temperature control to return to normal, or reduce the environmental temperature. Do not block the heat dissipation air outlet. |
| P-E (Abnormal voltage) | Check the mains voltage. If below 100V, use 100-240V. If this occurs frequently, contact Bakon service. |
| C-E (Heating coil open) | Re-power on after replacing the soldering handle. If the fault persists, contact Bakon after-sales service. |

9. User Tips
- Faster Heating: The high-frequency eddy current heating core directly transfers heat to the iron head, significantly reducing heat conduction time and loss, resulting in faster heating speeds compared to low-frequency stations.
- Stable Temperature: The sensing core is located at the top of the iron head, making temperature sensing more sensitive. This greatly improves temperature rise and return speed, ensuring better temperature stability during soldering.
- Ergonomic Design: The handle features a patented ergonomic design for comfortable and efficient use.
- Ventilation: Always ensure adequate ventilation in your workspace when operating the soldering station to disperse fumes.
10. Soldering Tips (200 Series)
The Bakon BK2000S is compatible with 200 series soldering tips. Various tip shapes are available for different soldering applications:
11. Warranty and Support
Warranty Terms
- The warranty is valid for one year from the date of purchase.
