Features and Connections

Keypad

• White: Off
• Blue: Standby
• Green : Brushes activated
• Blinking Red : Brushes jammed

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.

The tip cleaner is automatically switched off if  splashguard is opened during operation.

Set Up

CLMU/CLMUP 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:

1. Turn on the tip cleaner by pressing the On / Off key.
2. 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.
3. 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 tip cleaner, unplug  from the mains.

Open Splashguard
Pull the locking tab (1) to open the splashguard.

Removing Inserting Brushes

Align the brushes with the axis and push them in until a click is heard (4). Check if the brushes are properly fixed.

Cleaning Solder Collection Tray
The tip cleaner features a solder collection tray. After cleaning place it back in its position (5).

Accessories: Brush Range

All brushes are offered with black and blue core, to distinguish  them when working with lead-free and leaded solder.

Note: As a reference, the cleaning process should last around 1 second.

*Only use the non-metal brushes when they are rotating. Incorrect use will damage them.
