7.Standby and sleep functions

Standby function on and off:

1)Press and hold the function key till display on LED segment to enter the standby function on/off setting:

2)Display the current setting or

3)Adjust by knob: or to turn on/off the standby and sleep function.

4)Press the function key or wait for 10s to automatically save to complete the setting.

Standby function

1)When standby function is turned on, the soldering station will enter standby mode after not in use for 10 minutes.

2)In standby mode, LED segment displays and temperature drops to 250 ℃ (482 ℉).

3)When any operation is detected, such as using the soldering iron, adjusting knob or pressing the function key,

it will return to the work mode.

4)When in standby mode, if no further operation is detected for 10 minutes, it will enter sleep mode.

Sleep function:

1)That short press the function key or long time in standby mode can make it enter sleep mode:

2)When entering sleep mode, screen displays and heating is turn off.

3)Press the function key to return to normal heating work mode.

8.Temperature locking function:

Temperature locking function on and off:

1)Turning the knob to adjust the temperature to be set.

2)Long press the function key till is displayed.

3)Now LEd segment displays or

4)Turn the knob to set the locking function to be or

5)Press the function key or wait for 10s to automatically save to complete the setting.

6)When the temperature is locked, adjusting the knob does not change the setting temperature, it will display

for 1 second to show that the current temperature is locked.

9.Temperature calibration

1) Adjust the set temperature to 350 ℃ (662 ℉) by knob and wait for 2 minutes to stabilize the temperature.

2) Use a thermometer to measure the temperature of the soldering iron tip.

3) Use a cross screwdriver to adjust the calibration hole to make the displayed temperature value equal to the measured value. For example, if the measured value is 345 ℃, adjust calibration hole to reduce display

temperature 350 to 345, make the display temperature match the measured value.

4) Press the function key to complete calibration.

Soldering iron tip maintenance

1. Set the temperature to 250 ℃ (480 ℉).

2. After the temperature is stable, clean the soldering iron tip with a brass wool and check its condition.

3. If black oxide is attached to it, please apply new solder (including flux) and wipe it repeatedly with a brass wool

until it’s clean, then apply some new solder.

4. If the soldering iron tip has been deformed, perforated or worn out, please replace it with a new one.

Troubleshooting Guide

Warning

● When checking or replacing parts, be sure to pull out the power plug to prevent electric shock

● If the power cable is damage, it must be sent to the manufacturer, agency store or maintenance

personnel with the same qualification for repair to avoid accidents

Failure phenomenon

Not working after

power is on

The display shows "S-E"

The display shows "H-E"

Iron tip heating is on and off

The solder won’t get on

the iron tip

Iron tip temperature is too low

The iron tip won’t fit

The actual temperature

can’t reach

Examination Dealing method

Check whether the power cord is good, or plug falls off

Is the fuse OK

Whether the handle cable is well connected with main unit Whether the wire connecting to

handle is broken

Whether the heater is damaged (the resistance of the blue lead wire

shall be less than 100 Ω at room

temperature).

Whether the wire connecting to

handle is broken

Whether the heater is damaged (the resistance of the red lead wire

shall be less than 100 Ω at room

temperature)

Whether the wire connecting to

handle is broken

Check whether the temperature of

the iron tip is too high

Check whether there is oxide on

the tip

Check whether there is oxide on

the tip

Whether the temperature is proper

Whether there is oxide inside tip, or

soldering iron tip expands

Not original tip or not same type tip

Is the temperature adjusted correctly

Haven’t done temperature calibration

for a long time

Connect the power supply well

Figure out the cause of fuse damage:

1. Short circuit inside the station.

2. Inside the handle, the spring might meets the

heating element.

3. Check whether the pin of heating element is

twisted or short circuited.

Even if the cause is unknown, please replace the fuse. If the fuse get burnt out again, please return

the handle with the main unit for maintenance.

Reconnected

If so please replace it with a new handle

If damaged, replace the heater

If so please replace it with a new handle

If damaged, replace the heater

If so please replace it with a new handle

Adjust to the proper temperature

Clean the oxide with a brass wool

Adjust to the proper temperature

Change the tip and heater

use original factory tip or same type tips

Adjust the set temperature again

Re-calibrate temperature accordingly
