07 Soldering station heats up to the default value.
08 Press top key to increase temperature, press bottom key to decrease temperature.
09 Digital display shows actual value (A) and default value (B).
10 Solder when the set temperature has been reached.
11 Place soldering iron only onto holder stand.
12 After work or during prolonged breaks, switch off appliance and remove plug.
Soldering
The soldering station is designed for soft solder soldering at various temperatures. After appliance is switched on, the soldering tip is heated up automatically to the most recently set temperature.
The soldering results depend on how suitable the soldering tip is to the job. When soldering large-size jobs, our more powerful i-CON 1 and i-CON 2 soldering stations should be used.
Default value: 360 °C / 680 °F
Value range: 150 to 450 °C
300 to 842 °F
Changing the soldering tip
Various soldering tips can be used with the i-CON NANO soldering station. In this way, the soldering station can be adapted to various areas of operation.
More soldering tips are available from the Ersa dealer. Downloadable overview of i-TOOL tips:
13 Switch off soldering station and allow soldering tip to cool to approx. 40 °C / 104 °F.
14 CAUTION! Hot soldering tip! Risk of burns! Unlock [1] and pull out [2] the soldering tip of the bayonet mount
15 Remove soldering tip from soldering iron.
16 Fit the soldering tip [1], overcome the spring force and lock the bayonet mount [2]
17 Fit soldering tip with knurled section onto soldering iron and check for correct fit.
18 Switch on soldering station.
ATTENTION! Soldering tip is hot! Risk of burns!
Temperature calibration
If the set temperature and the actual temperature of the soldering tip do not concur, then the temperature can be calibrated in order to resume work at exact soldering temperatures.
Default value: 0
Value range: – 70 to +50 °C
-126 to +90 °F
19 Select reference value for calibration at the soldering station.
20 Determining actual temperature using a digital temperature-measuring instrument, e.g. Ersa DTM 110.
21 Calculating deviation between reference value and actual value.
22 Press both keys briefly to call up the calibration menu.
23 Setting temperature using the keys in accordance with the deviation.
24 Wait five seconds to save the value.
Standby time
After a certain time, the appliance reduces the soldering temperature to save power.
Default value: 5 min.
Value range: 0 to 60 min.
0 = Off
A Hold down both keys for a prolonged period to open the standby time menu.
B Adjust standby time by pressing the keys (0 = Off).
C Wait five seconds to save the value.
Soldering iron
If required, the soldering iron can be changed or exchanged.
Use only soldering irons bearing the description Ersa i-TOOL NANO.
Installation of the exchange iron is by analogy the reverse of the dismantling sequence.
A Turn appliance onto its side.
B Pull cable of soldering iron out of holders.
C Remove plug in the direction of the operating panel.
