- Function/Calibration Button: Accesses various functions and calibration mode.
- Soldering Iron Holder: Securely holds the soldering iron when not in use.
- Tip Cleaner: Sponge or brass wool for cleaning the soldering tip.
- Helping Hands: Two adjustable arms with alligator clips for holding components.
- Solder Wire Dispenser: Integrated holder for a roll of solder wire.
- Power Switch: Turns the soldering station ON/OFF.
Setup
DC Power Supply Setup
- Place the power supply on a stable, level surface with adequate ventilation.
- Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position.
- Connect the provided AC power cord to the AC Power Inlet (16) on the rear panel and then to a grounded wall outlet.
- For output, connect your load to the Output Terminal + (11) and Output Terminal - (13) using appropriate test leads. For grounding, connect to the Grounding Terminal (12) if required by your application.
Soldering Iron Station Setup
- Place the soldering station on a heat-resistant, stable surface.
- Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position.
- Connect the soldering iron handle cable to the designated port on the soldering station.
- If using, attach the helping hands to the designated slots on the station.
- Place the tip cleaning sponge in its tray and dampen it slightly with water, or use the brass wool provided.
- Connect the AC power cord to the station and then to a grounded wall outlet.
Operating Instructions
DC Power Supply Operation
- Power On: Turn on the power supply using the Power Switch (14). The LED display will illuminate.
- Setting Voltage and Current:
- Use the Voltage Knob (Coarse) (6) and Voltage Knob (Fine) (8) to set the desired output voltage.
- Use the Current Knob (Coarse) (7) and Current Knob (Fine) (9) to set the desired current limit. It is recommended to set the current limit before connecting the load to prevent overcurrent.
- Constant Voltage (C.V.) and Constant Current (C.C.) Mode:
The power supply automatically switches between C.V. and C.C. modes based on the load. If the load resistance is high, the unit operates in C.V. mode, maintaining the set voltage. If the load resistance is low and the current reaches the set limit, the unit switches to C.C. mode, maintaining the set current and reducing the output voltage.
The C.V. (4) or C.C. (5) indicator will light up to show the active mode.
- USB Charging Port: The 5V/2A USB Charging Port (10) can be used independently to charge compatible USB devices. Simply connect your device to the port.
Soldering Iron Station Operation
- Power On: Turn on the soldering station using the Power Switch. The digital display will show the current temperature.
- Setting Temperature:
Use the temperature adjustment buttons (Up/Down arrows) to set the desired soldering temperature. The station features rapid heating and PID temperature stabilization to maintain the set temperature consistently.
Figure 4: Real-time Temperature Display and Functionality. - °C/°F Conversion: Press the Function/Calibration button to switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) temperature display modes.
- Auto Sleep Function: The station is equipped with an auto-sleep function to conserve energy and extend tip life. If the iron is idle for a set period, it will enter sleep mode, reducing the tip temperature. Moving the iron will wake it up.
- Digital Temperature Calibration: For precise temperature control, the station supports digital temperature calibration. Refer to the specific instructions in the full manual for calibration procedures.
- Using Helping Hands: Position the flexible helping hands to securely hold PCBs or components during soldering.
- Tip Cleaning: Regularly clean the soldering tip using the damp sponge or brass wool to ensure optimal performance and extend tip lifespan.
Maintenance
- General Cleaning: Disconnect both units from power. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior of the power supply and soldering station. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Soldering Tip Maintenance:
- Always tin the soldering tip with a small amount of solder before storing it and after cleaning.
- Replace the soldering tip when it becomes excessively worn or corroded.
- Cooling Fan: Ensure the cooling fan vents on the power supply are clear of dust and obstructions to maintain proper airflow.
- Fuse Replacement: If the power supply does not turn on, check the fuse in the Fuse Box (17) on the rear panel. Replace with a fuse of the same type and rating if blown.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Power Supply does not turn on. | No power from outlet; Blown fuse; Power cord not connected. | Check wall outlet; Replace fuse; Ensure power cord is securely connected. |
| No output from Power Supply. | Output terminals not connected; Voltage/current set to zero; Overload protection activated. | Check connections; Adjust voltage/current settings; Reduce load or check for short circuit. |
| Soldering Iron not heating up. | Iron not connected to station; Heating element failure; Incorrect temperature setting. | Ensure iron cable is fully inserted; Contact support if heating element is faulty; Increase temperature setting. |
| Soldering tip not tinning properly. | Tip is oxidized or dirty; Insufficient temperature. | Clean tip thoroughly with sponge/brass wool and re-tin; Increase temperature. |
