Maintenance

Tip temperature
High temperatures shorten tip life and can cause thermal shock to components. Always use the lowest possible temperature when soldering. Standard temperature settings are 350 to 400 degrees Celsius.
Cleaning
Always clean the soldering tip before use to remove any solder or flux residue adhering to it. Use a clean and damp cleaning sponge. Contamination on the tip has many adverse effects including reduced ther-mal conductivity that contribute to poor soldering performance.
After use
Always clean the tip and re-coat it with fresh solder after use. This protects against oxidation and extends the life of the tip.
Device care
Never leave the device idling for a long time in high temperatures. Use the auto sleep feature to save energy and extend tip and heater life. If the device is not used for a long time, it is recommended to switch off the device and unplug the power cord.

Tip inspection and cleaning

  • Set the temperature to 250 ℃.
  • As soon as the temperature has stabilised, clean the tip and check its condition. If it is much worn or deformed, replace it.
  • If the solder coated portion of the tip is covered with black oxide, apply fresh solder with flux and clean the tip again. Repeat until all the oxide is removed, then coat the tip with fresh solder.
  • Never file the tip to remove oxide.
  • Residual oxide such as yellowing on the tip shaft can be removed with isopropyl alcohol.

Troubleshooting

1st problem: Device without power

  1. Check if the device is switched on.
  2. Check fuse. Replace with a fuse of the same type if blown.
  3. Check power cord and make sure that it is properly connected everywhere.
  4. Make sure that device is properly connected to power source.

2nd problem: Temperature does not increase

  • 1st case: Tip temperature does not increase, display shows “Err1”
    Solution: The soldering iron is not or loosely connected to the main station. Insert and lock the soldering iron firmly.

  • 2nd case: Soldering iron is correctly connected, display still shows “Err1”
    Solution: The heating element may be damaged. Replace heater or check soldering iron pin wiring.

  • 3rd case: Soldering iron is connected correctly, display shows low temperature readings and then changes to “Err2”
    Solution: The heating element is damaged. Replace heater or check soldering iron pin wiring.

3rd problem: Soldering iron tip overheated

  • Description: Soldering iron tip gets too hot.
    Solution: The digital offset setting could be too high, resulting in an overheat protection case. Repeat the steps under “Setting the digital offset” above. Make sure that the temperature is 480 ℃ or less.

4th error: other error not mentioned here

  • Solution: Contact an authorised service centre.

Note: Suitable for all AOYUE soldering irons except lead-free composite tips series, induction series, and 938.
