2. Safety Instructions

Please read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before using this product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

• Always operate the soldering station in a well-ventilated area to prevent inhalation of fumes.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, to protect against splashes and fumes.
• Do not touch the soldering iron tip or hot air gun nozzle when hot. These components reach very high temperatures and can cause severe burns.
• Ensure the unit is properly grounded to prevent electrical shock.
• Unplug the unit from the power outlet when not in use, before cleaning, or before performing any maintenance.
• Keep the workstation clean and free of flammable materials.
• Do not use the unit near water or in damp conditions.
• Keep out of reach of children.

3. Product Overview

The Yihua 968DA+ integrates three essential tools for electronics work: a soldering iron, a hot air gun, and a smoke absorber. The main unit features an LCD display for real-time temperature and function status, along with controls for precise adjustments.

Main Unit and Controls

The main unit houses the power switches, temperature controls for both the soldering iron and hot air gun, air flow adjustment, and the smoke absorber switch. The LCD display provides clear readings of current settings.

Soldering Iron Components

The 60W soldering iron features a high-quality, durable tip with fast conductivity. Its insulated handle ensures user safety and comfort during prolonged use.

4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging and inspect them for any damage. Retain packaging for future transport or storage.
2. Placement: Place the main unit on a stable, heat-resistant surface in a well-ventilated area. Ensure adequate space around the unit for airflow.
3. Connect Soldering Iron: Connect the soldering iron cable to the designated port on the main unit. Place the soldering iron in its stand.
4. Connect Hot Air Gun: Connect the hot air gun cable to its designated port. Ensure it is securely seated.
5. Install Smoke Filter: Open the smoke absorber compartment and insert a new filter. Close the compartment securely.
6. Power Connection: Connect the power cord to the main unit and then to a grounded 220V 50Hz power outlet.

5. Operating Instructions

General Operation

The station utilizes a microprocessor-PID system for precise, real-time temperature monitoring and control. The LCD display shows the current status and temperatures for both the soldering iron and hot air gun. Use the °C/°F switch to select your preferred temperature unit.

Soldering Iron Operation

1. Power On: Flip the main power switch on the unit.
2. Temperature Adjustment: Use the 'SOL-TEMP' knob to set the desired temperature for the soldering iron. The LCD will display the set temperature and then the actual tip temperature.
3. Sleep Function: The soldering iron features an automatic sleep function. If left static for a user-defined period (0-99 minutes, adjustable), the tip temperature will automatically drop to 200°C. This prevents oxidation and extends tip lifespan. To reactivate, simply pick up the iron.
4. Applications: This soldering iron is suitable for various applications, including SOIC, CHIP, QFP, PLCC, and BGA components.

Hot Air Gun Operation

1. Power On: Ensure the main power switch is on.
2. Temperature Adjustment: Use the 'AIR-TEMP' knob to set the desired hot air temperature. The LCD will display the set temperature and then the actual air output temperature.
3. Airflow Adjustment: Use the 'AIR' knob to adjust the airflow rate. The maximum airflow is 28 liters per minute.
4. Nozzle Selection: Choose an appropriate nozzle for your application and attach it securely to the hot air gun.
5. Anti-Blocking Function: For safety, if the hot air gun's fan unexpectedly stops, the system will immediately cut off power to the heating element, preventing overheating and potential damage.

Smoke Absorber Operation

1. Activate: Flip the 'SMOKE ABSORBER' switch to the ON position.
2. Function: The smoke absorber will draw in fumes and smoke generated during soldering and desoldering, passing them through a filter to purify the air. This provides a healthier working environment and prevents fumes from settling on components.

6. Maintenance

• Soldering Iron Tip Cleaning: Regularly clean the soldering iron tip using the included cleaning sponge (dampened with water) or brass wool. This helps prevent oxidation and ensures efficient heat transfer.
• Smoke Filter Replacement: The smoke filters should be replaced periodically, depending on usage, to maintain effective fume extraction. Refer to the filter compartment for instructions on replacement.
• General Unit Cleaning: Keep the main unit and tools clean and free of dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: When not in use, ensure the unit is unplugged and cooled down. Store it in a dry, safe place.
