Operation
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 tip 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.
CLUP is automatically switched off if the splashguard is opened during operation.
Set Up
The CLU/CLUP allows you to choose between continuous operation and sensor
operation.
The tip cleaner contains 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 sensor operation:
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:
- Turn on the CLU/CLUP by pressing the On / Off key.
- Push the “Sensor Mode” key until the interior light and keypad LEDs make one, two or three blinks. The number of blinks indicates the selected level.
- Push 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 changed after the device is restarted.
Changing Brushes
Before opening the tip cleaner, unplug it from the mains.
For CLR, open the side closures and remove the slashguard.| For CLU pull the
locking tab to open the splashguard.
