For best cleaning results, we recommend placing the tip between the two brushes for just 1 second. Longer exposure time would lead to dewetting of the tip’s surface, causing oxidation.
If excessive pressure is applied with the tool against any of the brushes, the cleaner stops automatically in order to protect the motors. Putting the tool out of the sensor detection area automatically deactivates the cleaner.

1 second
The tip cleaner automatically stops if the splashguard is opened during operation. 4

Setup

Both CLMU and CLMUP allow you to choose between continuous operation and sensor operation.

The tip cleaner features a sensor that detects when the soldering cartridge approaches the window and automatically starts the brush rotation.

You can choose between 3 different settings for the sensor:

Level 1 – for a short detection distance Level 2 – for a medium detection distance (default) Level 3 – for a long detection distance

Levels can be selected as follows: 1. Turn on the tip cleaner by pressing the On / Off key. 2. Press the “Sensor Mode” key until the interior light and the keypad LEDs blink one, two or three times. The number of blinks indicates the selected level. 3. Press the sensor mode button to change to the next level. If the button is held down, the level changes continuously to the next one until the button is released (changes from level 1 to 2, from 2 to 3 and from 3 to 1). The level configuration is saved by the tip cleaner and will not be altered after the device is restarted.
