4. Product Features
The Preciva 902D V is a versatile 2-in-1 soldering and hot air rework station designed for precision work. Key features include:
- Dual Functionality: Independent soldering iron and hot air gun with separate power switches.
- Precise Temperature Control: Advanced PID temperature control system for both tools, ensuring stable and accurate temperatures. Soldering iron temperature range: 200-480°C (392-896°F). Hot air gun temperature range: 100-480°C (212-896°F).
- Memory Presets: Three programmable memory channels (CH1, CH2, CH3) for both the soldering iron and hot air gun, allowing quick recall of frequently used temperature and airflow settings.
- Adjustable Airflow: Hot air gun features adjustable airflow up to 120 L/min, powered by a brushless blower for stable, low-noise operation.
- Dual LED Display: Clear digital LED displays show real-time temperatures for both the soldering iron and hot air gun.
- Temperature Unit Conversion: Easily switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) display modes.
- Smart Sleep Mode: The soldering iron enters sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity, cooling to 200°C (392°F) to prolong tip life. The hot air gun enters standby mode when placed in its holder, resuming operation when picked up.
- Temperature Calibration: Allows for precise calibration of temperature readings.
- SMT Double-Face Manufacturing: Internal design ensures signal stability and safety.

5. Setup Instructions
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging and inspect for any damage.
- Placement: Place the main unit on a stable, heat-resistant, and non-flammable surface. Ensure adequate space around the unit for ventilation.
- Connect Soldering Iron: Connect the soldering iron cable to the "SOLDERING" port on the front panel. Secure it by tightening the screw connector. Place the soldering iron in its holder.
- Connect Hot Air Gun: Connect the hot air gun cable to the "SMD REWORK" port on the front panel. Secure it by tightening the screw connector. Place the hot air gun in its holder.
- Install Nozzle: Select an appropriate hot air nozzle and attach it to the hot air gun.
- Power Connection: Connect the power cord to the main unit's power input and then plug it into a grounded electrical outlet.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 General Operation
- Power On: Flip the master power switch located on the rear of the unit to the "ON" position. The LED displays will illuminate.
- Activate Tools: Press the individual power switches for the soldering iron and/or hot air gun on the front panel to activate them.
- Temperature Unit Conversion: Press the °C/°F button to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit display modes.
6.2 Soldering Iron Operation
- Set Temperature: Use the "Iron Up" and "Iron Down" keys to adjust the desired soldering temperature. The display will show the set temperature and then the actual temperature as it heats up.
- Using Memory Presets:
- To save a preset: Set the desired temperature, then press and hold one of the "CH1", "CH2", or "CH3" buttons until the display flashes, indicating the setting is saved.
- To recall a preset: Briefly press the corresponding "CH1", "CH2", or "CH3" button.
- Sleep Mode: The soldering iron will automatically enter sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity, reducing its temperature to 200°C (392°F). Picking up the iron will reactivate it to the last set temperature.

6.3 Hot Air Gun Operation
- Set Temperature: Use the "Hot Air Up" and "Hot Air Down" keys to adjust the desired hot air temperature.
- Adjust Airflow: Rotate the "Airflow Control" knob to adjust the air volume.
- Using Memory Presets:
- To save a preset: Set the desired temperature and airflow, then press and hold one of the "CH1", "CH2", or "CH3" buttons until the display flashes.
- To recall a preset: Briefly press the corresponding "CH1", "CH2", or "CH3" button.
- Standby Mode: When the hot air gun is placed in its holder, it will automatically enter standby mode, stopping the heating element and continuing airflow to cool down. Picking up the gun will reactivate it to the last set temperature and airflow.
