5. Setup

5.1 WEP 927-IV Soldering Station Setup

1. Place the soldering station on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
2. Connect the soldering iron handpiece to the designated port on the station.
3. Insert the desired soldering tip into the iron. Ensure it is securely fastened.
4. Place the soldering iron into its handpiece holder.
5. Position the tip cleaner (brass wool) and sponge near the workstation. Dampen the sponge slightly with water.
6. Connect the power cord to the station and then to a 110-127V AC power outlet.

5.2 WEP 8858-V Hot Air Rework Station Setup

1. Place the hot air rework station on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
2. Connect the hot air gun handpiece to the designated port on the station.
3. Select the appropriate nozzle (5mm, 8mm, or 10mm) for your application and attach it securely to the hot air gun.
4. Place the hot air gun into its holder.
5. Connect the power cord to the station and then to a 110-127V AC power outlet.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 WEP 927-IV Soldering Station Operation

1. Power On: Flip the "POWER" switch to the ON position. The display will show the current and set temperatures.
2. Set Temperature:
   • Manual Adjustment: Use the temperature adjustment buttons (usually up/down arrows) to set the desired temperature. The station will quickly reach and maintain this temperature using PID technology.
   • Preset Channels: Press the "MEMORY" button to cycle through the three preset channels (CH1, CH2, CH3). Each channel can be programmed with a specific temperature for quick recall. To program a channel, set the desired temperature, then press and hold the "MEMORY" button until the channel number flashes, indicating it's saved.
3. Temperature Unit Conversion: Press the °F/°C button (if available) to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius display.
4. Soldering: Once the desired temperature is reached, tin the soldering iron tip with a small amount of solder. Apply the tip to the joint, then feed solder into the joint.
5. Sleep Mode: The station features a sleep mode to prolong tip life during periods of inactivity. When the iron is placed in its holder for a set duration, the temperature will automatically reduce. Lifting the iron will resume the set working temperature.
6. Power Off: When finished, place the iron in its holder and flip the "POWER" switch to the OFF position. Allow the iron to cool completely before storage.

6.2 WEP 8858-V Hot Air Rework Station Operation

1. Power On: Flip the "POWER" switch to the ON position. The display will show the current temperature.
2. Set Temperature: Use the temperature adjustment buttons (TEMP +/-) to set the desired hot air temperature (range: 212°F~896°F).
3. Adjust Air Volume: Rotate the "AIR VOL" knob to adjust the airflow intensity. Start with a lower setting and increase as needed for your application.
4. Hot Air Rework: Direct the hot air gun nozzle towards the component to be desoldered or reworked. Maintain a safe distance to avoid damaging surrounding components.
5. Automatic Start/Stop: The hot air gun features an automatic start/stop function. When placed in its holder, the unit will cool down to 212°F and stop heating temporarily. Lifting the gun from the holder will automatically resume the set temperature and airflow.
