MAINTENANCE & PRECAUTIONS

If a layer of oxidization forms on the surface of the soldering iron tip, a misconception can be created that the soldering tip cannot heat up properly to melt the solder and do the tin-ning. However, the actual temperatures of both the heating element and soldering tip are high. The soldering iron tip may exhibit black color when there’s a layer of oxidation on the tip, or when the tip is oxidized. In such an instance, please do not increase the temperature va- Lue confusedly but use a metal wool ball to remove the oxidization following the steps below:

• Set the temperature to 300°C (572°F).
• Once the temperature has stabilized, gently rub the soldering iron tip inside the metal wool ball.
• When the oxidization is partially removed, continue applying solder onto the tip while rubbing it until the solder completely adheres to the soldering iron tip.
• If the tip is too severely oxidized beyond cleaning, replace the tip with a new one.
• DO NOT use metal files to remove the oxidization on the soldering iron tip. If the soldering iron tip deforms or rusts, replace it with a new tip.
• DO NOT apply excessive force on the soldering tip when soldering. Doing so will not only damage the iron tip but also not improve the heat transfer.
• When placing the soldering iron back in its stand to idle after a high-temperature operation, adjust the temperature to 250°C (482°F) or below for idling. Failure to do so, and leaving the soldering iron tip to idle on a high-temperature setting will cause accelerated aging of the heating element, and shorten the lifespan of the heating element and soldering iron tip.
• After every operation, always clean the soldering iron tip, then coat it with a new layer of sander to prevent its oxidization.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. The display shows “S-E” – This is an indication that the sensor module of the soldering station is faulty. In such an instance, you need to replace the respective heating element (the heating element and the sensor modules). Or, the handle is not connected (Turn OFF the station, connect the handle, and turn ON the station).
2. When replacing the heating element, take note of the original connecting order and colors of the wires which MUST NOT be connected incorrectly.

OPERATION

1. Connect the soldering iron to the soldering station, and place the soldering iron on the soldering iron stand.

2. Connect the soldering station to an electrical outlet. Turn on the master switch at the rear of the station, and the soldering station will begin heating. The station’s operating indicator light will light up. The indicator will be ON constantly when the soldering iron is heating up, blink rapidly and regularly when the iron’s temperature stabilizes, and OFF when the soldering iron is cooling off. When the station’s temperature is stabilized (with the operating indicator light blinking rapidly and regularly), begin your operation.
   CAUTION : Before increasing the temperature to your desired value when using a new soldering iron tip, set the temperature to 250°C/482*F. When the iron’s temperature is just hot enough to melt solder, tin the soldering iron tip with a layer of solder (the use of rosin-core solder is recommended).

3. When the operation is complete, use a dampened sponge or metal wool ball to clean the sol– during the iron tip. Re-tin the soldering iron tip with a new layer of solder, then return the soldering iron back to the stand. Turn OFF the soldering station. If the station is not in use for an extended period, please DISCONNECT the power plug. Turn ON/OFF the Sleep Mode (Soldering Station). When the station’s sleep mode is turned ON, the system will automatically detect the station’s operation status. If the station is not in use and no motion is detected for approximately 10 minutes, the soldering iron will enter sleep mode. This effectively prevents the soldering iron tip from oxidization, prolongs the soldering iron tip’s lifespan, and protects the environment.

4. Press and hold the Temperature Adjustment Knob for the app. approximately 2 seconds. The display will show the value “SLP 10”, indicating the Sleep Mode timer is set to 10 minutes.

5. Turn the Temperature Adjustment Knob to turn the sleep mode ON or OFF. Once done setting, wait for approximately 5 seconds, the system will automatically exit the setting interface. getting complete.

To re-start the station from sleep mode
Shake the iron a few times, b. press any button, or Turn OFF the power, then turn ON the power

Buzzer

Press and hold the Temperature Adjustment Knob for ap approximately 2 seconds, the value “SLP XX” will show on display. Then, press the Temperature Adjustment Knob one more time, the display will show the value “bL OFF” to indicate that the buzzer is turned OFF. Turn the Temperature Adjustment Knob to turn the buzz ON or OFF. Once done setting, stop input for approximately 5 seconds to exit the setting interface. Then, the buzzer configuration is complete.

Digital Temperature Calibration

Temperature discrepancies may occur due to the change in the operating environment and the replacement-ent of the heating element, soldering tip, or other parts. This function can help improve work efficiency

1. When the soldering iron’s temperature is stabilized, press and hold the Temperature Adjustment Knob for approximately 2 seconds. The display will show the value “SLP XX”. Then, press the Temperature Adjustment Knob two more times to enter the Temperature Calibration interface. Upon entering the Temperature Calibration Interface, the display will show the value
2. Turn the Temperature Adjustment Knob to enter the soldering iron tip’s actual temperature measured, and press the Temperature Adjustment Knob one time to confirm the input. Once done setting, press the Temperature Adjustment Knob one more time, the system will automatically save the setting and exit the Temperature Calibration interface. Repeat the above steps to calibrate the temperature again if minor temperature discrepancies remain

Celsius Display Modes
This function complies with user preferences in different regions. Press the Temperature Adjustment Button to select either the Fahrenheit or the Celsius temperature display mode.

Preset Channels (3 Available Channels)
Press the CH1 button, and the value “CHI” will show on display. Turn the Temperature Adjustment Knob to set the desired temperature for this channel, and the system will automatically store the set temperature value in Channel

1. Use the above method to set your desired preset temperature for CH2 and Ch3.

Auto Shutdown
When the soldering station enters sleep mode, its CPU will start counting down. If the soldering station is not restarted after 30 minutes, the soldering station will automatically shut off. Please restart the soldering station by turning the power switch OFF, then, turn the power switch back ON.
Note: The auto-shutdown function activates ONLY when sleep mode is turned ON.
