Specification

Heating element (pie)

AT980 Control Panel Guide:

Introduction for LCD display

Features

• New appearance design, big LCD screen, for clear and convenient reading.
• PID power control loop with constant temperature set by MCU computer for more precision temperature control.
• Imported temperature-beard materials with long life. Cleaning Sponge
• It is convenient that the device adopt three programmable knobs in different condition.
• Display the temperature between Fahrenheit and Celsius flexibly, convenient for the type of operators.
• Computerized temperature calibration can correct the difference between the actual and display temperature quickly.
•  Heating element malfunction alert.

Care and Maintenance

• Keep the soldering station dry; if it gets wet, dry it immediately.
• Use the soldering station only in normal temperature environments.
• Keep the soldering station away from dust and dirt.
• The soldering iron tip should be cleaned after use by wiping it on the damp sponge found in the soldering iron stand. This is to get rid of burnt solder or fluxes that cause oxidation on the tip.

Changing Soldering Tip

• Always turn the power OFF when removing or inserting a tip
• Let the tip to cool down to room temperature before holding it with heat resistant pads
• Unscrew the metal cap nut G).
• Pull out the shaft of the soldering iron®·
• Replace it with a new soldering tip.
• Put back the shaft and securely lock with the metal cap nut

Replacing the heating element

Note: diagram ⑧ is soldering station AT980E, heating core resistance (red) about 2.5~3.50, sensor (blue) resistance about 43~580.

1. Power off the unit and unplug the device. Wait for the heating element to cool down.
2. Loosen the nut ①,
3. Remove the tip retainer  ② and soldering tip ③
4. Unscrew heating contact ④, remove grouping spring⑤
5. Remove the full heat wire group⑥.
6. Please reference to diagram Section ⑧
7. Replace the old one the good condition heating element
8. Reverse the process to secure the heating element in the handle.

Operating Guidelines

Please refer to the “Control Panel Guide” section for buttons and display panel details

Connection

1. Insert soldering iron’s plug into the socket and tighten the nut on the plug securely and place it in iron holder.
2. Inset station’s power cord into power plug on the back panel and plug the cord into a power source.

Power on

1. Turn on the unit
2. The Digital display will initially display the current set temperature (the value of last time using) for 3 seconds. After few seconds it would display the actual temperature with temp unit “°C or °F”. (diagram 1), (diagram 2)

Adjusting temperature

Under normal working condition, pressing and holding button “. .” or “ “, you can either increase or decrease the temperature quickly. Keeping the knob in pressed will adjust the temperature setting quickly; short pressing knob, you can adjust temp step by step. The display screen shows the temperature value simultaneously. Release knob for 3s to store. (Diagram 3)

Quickly adjusting temperature

1. Under working condition, you can set working temperature quickly by programmable buttons. Press the button once to extract setting temperature stored in button “l, 2 & 3”, this way you  can easily set the working temperature.

2. Pressing button”#” and buttons “l, 2, 3”, you can store the setting temperature into fast channel knobs “l, 2, 3”.

3. Temperature hotkey
   A. Hotkey 1 is usually applied to store a 200°C or lower temperature value at which level machine ands by and on rest.
   B. Hotkey 2 is a shortcut of temperature between 300°C to 350°C at which level a general soldering job can be done. C. Hotkey 3 is a fast channel to high temperature of380°C specificied for special welding job.

Temperature calibration

You need calibrate the temperature of tip after you replace with a new heating element or tip.

1. Enter into calibrating station by long pressing knob”*” (>3s).
2. You can directly adjust the value of calibration by pressing knob” ” or” “.
3. The value of calibration is temperature measured minus the settings. ( e.g. Actual value 3 80°C – setting value 350 °C = +30 °C. Pressing knob” ” adds 30 °C; Actual value 320 °C -setting value 350 °C=-30 °C. Pressing knob ” ” minus 30 °C).
4. The calibrating temp range is +50 °C ~ -50 °C.
5. You can press knob”*” to store after you finish calibration. (diagram 4)

Temp. unit exchange

In the power off condition, press and hold knob “#”, then turn on the station, the temp unit will be changed between “°C” and “”F” and store automatically.

Temperature lock function

Temperature Lock Display: “Loe”, short of Lock, located in right bottom of LCD display screen. Temperature lock &unlock function can be realized by pressing “#” for three second or longer. Whenever the machine is locked as above photo shows, the functional key in panel lose effect.

False alarm

When “H-E” or “S-E” is displayed on the screen, there is some wrong in heating element or the circuit. ( diagram 5, 6). Turn off the unit and follow the instructions to replace the heating element.
