Operation

Using nitrogen improves the quality of the solder joint as well as it prevents tip oxidation.
The MEN is an electromotive that manages nitrogen flow. It is controlled by the station, which keeps gas consumption to a minimum.

  1. The nitrogen flow is automatically activated when the soldering iron is lifted from the stand.
  2. The flow is interrupted when the tool is returned to the stand and the temperature drops as the tip  goes into Sleep mode.
