(Diagrams illustrate the main unit, holder, and handle.)

5.3. Key Descriptions

The control interface features several buttons:

(Diagrams show the SET, POWER, +, and - buttons.)

5.4. Function Descriptions of the Main Interface

The main interface displays:

• Power Display: Indicates the power status.
• Temperature Display: Shows the current set temperature (e.g., 350°C).
• Channel Display: Indicates the current channel (e.g., CHO).
• Temperature Unit: Shows the unit (°C or °F).
• Channel Indicators: Displays temperature presets for Channel CH1 (e.g., 300), CH2 (e.g., 350), and CH3 (e.g., 450).

(Diagram illustrates these display elements.)

6. Connection

Follow these steps to connect the QUICK TS11 Soldering Station:

1. Insert the seven-core plug of the soldering handle into the corresponding seven-core socket on the main unit panel. Ensure correct plug insertion and place the soldering handle in the holder.
2. Insert the power plug of the soldering station into a power socket.
3. Insert one end of the grounding core into the grounding jack of the soldering station and connect the other end to an anti-static ground point.

7. Temperature Settings

⚠️ Note:

• Ensure the soldering temperature is adjustable when setting it.
• Input the correct password. The initial password is "000".

The interface allows for password entry (shown as "***" or "UNLOCK") and temperature adjustment. There are 3 temperature channels (CH1, CH2, CH3). Pressing the "SET" key cycles through these channels. The "+" or "-" keys adjust the current temperature, but this does not overwrite the stored temperature for the selected channel.

(Screenshots show password entry screens and temperature display with channel selection.)

8. Menu Settings

To access and navigate the menu:

1. Long press the "SET" key to enter the menu setting interface.
2. Use the "+" or "-" keys to turn pages within the menu.
3. Press "SET" to enter a parameter setting interface, then use "+" or "-" for value selection or adjustment.
4. Press "SET" to save changes and "Power" to return to the main interface.

The menu options include:

• 1. CH1, 2. CH2, 3. CH3 (Temperature channels)
• 4. Sound (ON/OFF)
• 5. Unit (Celsius/Fahrenheit)
• 6. Language
• 7. Password
• 8. Close (likely related to sleep/shutdown)
• 9. Closetime (Shutdown time)
• 10. Sleep (Enable/Disable)
• 11. Sleeptime (Sleep duration)
• 12. Version

(Screenshots show various menu pages.)

9. Password Settings

To set or change the password:

1. Navigate to the "Password" setting using the "+" or "-" keys.
2. Press "SET" to enter the password interface. Enter the current password (default "000") using "+" or "-" to select digits and "SET" to confirm each digit.
3. Press "SET" again to enter the new password input interface. Select digits (0-9) with "+" or "-" and confirm positions with "SET".
4. Press "SET" to save the new password and "Power" to return to the main interface.

(Screenshots show password entry and confirmation screens.)

10. Sleeping and Wake Up

10.1. Sleeping

When the handle is placed on the holder and the set sleep time elapses, the soldering station enters sleep mode. The temperature drops to room temperature. The sleep time range is adjustable from 05 seconds to 99 minutes.

(Icon depicts a crescent moon with a 'Z' inside, symbolizing sleep.)

10.2. Wake Up

The soldering station can be woken up in several ways:

1. Turn the soldering station off and then on again.
2. Press any key on the control panel.
3. Shake the soldering handle.

11. Shutdown Time Settings

If the soldering station is not used within the set sleep time, it will enter shutdown mode. Once the set shutdown time is reached, the unit will automatically power off. The shutdown time range is from 01 to 240 minutes.

12. Temperature Calibration

Recalibration of the soldering tip temperature is recommended whenever the tip or handle is replaced.

1. Set the desired temperature on the soldering station.
2. Once the temperature is stable, use a thermometer to measure the actual tip temperature and record the reading.
3. Long press both the "+" and "-" keys simultaneously to enter the temperature calibration mode. The screen will display the current temperature.
4. Use the "+" or "-" keys to adjust the displayed value to match the thermometer reading.
5. Press the "SET" key to confirm the calibration. The screen will display "OK" and return to the main interface.

⚠️ Note:

• It is recommended to use QUICK 191/192 models to measure tip temperature.
• If the password is locked, temperature calibration cannot be performed. The correct password must be entered first.

(Screens show calibration interface with numerical input and confirmation.)

13. Maintenance of Tips

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of soldering tips:

1. When using a new tip for the first time, apply tin at 250 ~ 280°C to protect it.
2. Select the appropriate tip size based on the size of the soldering joint.
3. To prevent tip oxidation, plate the tip with a layer of molten tin before placing it in the holder.
4. To avoid rapid cooling, the cleaning sponge should not be overly wet. Using a dry sponge can damage the tip and hinder tinning.
5. If the tip becomes oxidized due to improper use, do not clean the surface coating by grinding. Instead, use metal filament or a resurrection ointment at 250 ~ 280°C.
6. During soldering, avoid applying excessive downward pressure to the tip and do not repeatedly apply tin to the same spot.
7. Attempt to solder at lower temperatures, typically between 320 ~ 380°C. If higher temperatures are necessary, analyze the compatibility of the soldering station and tip beforehand.

14. Selection of Tips

Choosing the correct tip is crucial for soldering efficiency and durability:

1. Selecting the correct tip size and shape significantly improves efficiency and increases durability.
2. Tip size directly impacts heat capacity. For continuous soldering, a larger tip results in less temperature drop. Higher heat capacity also allows for lower operating temperatures, reducing tip oxidation and prolonging service life.
3. Generally, tip size selection is based on ensuring it does not interfere with adjacent components. Choosing a tip that can fully contact the soldering joint enhances soldering efficiency.

(Diagrams illustrate suitable, too thin, and too coarse tip examples.)
