3. WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND NOTES

Warnings, cautions and notes are placed at critical points in this manual to direct
the operator’s attention to significant items. They are defined as follows:

WARNING: Failure to comply with a WARNING may result in injury or death.
CAUTION: Failure to comply with a CAUTION may result in injury to the operator,

or damage to the items involved. (One example is given below.)

NOTE: A NOTE indicates a procedure or point that is important to the process being

described.

CAUTION

When the power is on, the tip temperature is between 200°C/400°F and 400°C/
750°F.
Since mishandling may lead to burns or fire, be sure to comply with the following
precautions:

● Do not touch the metallic parts near the tip.

● Do not use the product near flammable items.

● Advise other people in the work area that the unit can reach a very high

temperature and should be considered potentially dangerous.

● Turn off the power while taking breaks and when finished using the unit.

● Before replacing parts or storing the unit, turn off the power and allow the unit

to cool to room temperature.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to the unit and ensure a safe working environment, be sure to
comply with the following precautions:

● Do not use the unit for applications other than those specifically described in
the instruction manual.

● Do not set the tip temperature higher than 400°C/750°F.

● Do not rap the FM-2023 against the work bench to shake off residual solder, or

otherwise subject the iron to severe shocks.

● Do not modify the unit.

● Use only genuine HAKKO replacement parts.

● Do not wet the unit or use the unit when your hands are wet.

● The operating process will produce smoke. Make sure the area is well ventilated.

● Pull on the plug to disconnect the FM-2023 from the station outlet. Do not pull

the cord.

5. SETTING UP THE FM-2023

1. Connector cord

Pass the connector cord through the hole
in the heat resistant pad.

2. Iron holder

Attach the holder clip to iron holder
no.634-01, 634-02 or 634-03.
Hang the lower hook of holder clip on
the lower wire of the iron holder and
attach it with the screw.
(Setup follows)

1. Do not let the tips extend beyond the
back of the iron holder base.
(See drawing No.1)

2. Before tightening the screw, make sure
that the 2 projections of holder clip are
touching the upper wire of the iron
holder. (See drawing No.2 and No.3)

3. Connections

1. Connect the plug to the FM-202.

2. Place the FM-2023 in the iron holder.

3. Plug the power cord into the power
supply. Be sure to ground the unit.

NOTE:

This product is protected against
electrostatic discharge and must be
grounded for full efficiency.

No. 1

When the plug ‘clicks’,
it is fully inserted.

Push the plug in as far as
it will go, and try to remove it
without pressing the release pin.
If it stays in the receptacle
it is properly seated.

6. OPERATION

● Controls and displays

Please refer to the FM-202 instruction
manual.

CAUTION:

FM-2023 tips do not have a tip ID. Use the
Tip ID number key.

NOTE:

If the buzzer sounds three times when the
Tip ID number key is inserted into the
process gate, there has been a reading error.
Reinsert the Tip ID number key. If the code
bar is torn or damaged the process gate will
not be able to read it.

NOTE:

This procedure must be followed EVERY
TIME THE TIPS ARE CHANGED.

● Displays

1. If tips are in the handpiece, remove
them.

2. Turn the power switch ON.

3. The display will show
LED on the connector will flash.

4. Insert the Tip ID number key into the
process gate until the buzzer sounds
once. ID data are displayed for one
second. The display shows

NOTE:

The tips are a packaged matched set and
must be used together.

5. Inserting the tip:
Hold the head part of the tip with the
heat resistant pad and insert the tip
into the handpiece. Push until the tip
stops. Repeat for second tip.

There is a flange.
Make sure that the flange will
fit the handle when inserted
into the handpiece.

6. When the set temperature is reached,
the buzzer sounds and the heater
lamp at the lower right of the temper­ature display starts blinking.

● Operating instructions

1. Set the Temperature

CAUTION:

Never set the temperature to any value over
400°C (750°F). Doing so may damage the
station. Set the temperature according to the
type of work to be done.

2. Switch lever on the handle

The FM-2023 is double acting.

• When the tips are touching - i.e. the
handpiece is closed- an ‘R’ is visible on
the handle. Operate by squeezing the
movable part of the handle at the back.

• When the handpiece is open, an ‘N’ is
visible on the handle. Operate by
squeezing the movable part of the
handle at the front.

3. Apply solder or flux

If there is insufficient solder on the PWB,
or the soldered area is too small, apply
solder or flux to the PWB. Solder may
also be applied to the tips.

Place the desoldered chip onto the tray
keeping the tips in parallel, and open
them to release.

NOTE:

Once the two tips are inserted into the hand­piece, heat control begins.
Both tips of the set must be inserted or the
handpiece will not heat.

CAUTION:

Very high tip temperatures may damage the
printed circuit board, possibly causing the
printed pattern to become detached. HAKKO
recommends setting the tip temperature
below 300°C (572°F) for all normal work.
Using the lowest possible effective temper­ature not only helps protect parts that are
sensitive to heat, it also helps protect the tip
from deterioration caused by heat.

4. Melt the solder

Place the tips on the soldered part and
melt the solder. Confirm that the solder
is fully melted. See sketch ‘A’.

5. Remove the component

After confirming that the solder is fully
melted, lightly squeeze the handpiece to
grasp the component and lift to remove
the component. See sketch ‘B’.

7. MAINTENANCE

● Tip maintenance

Please refer to the FM-202 Instruction manual.

● Checking Procedure

WARNING:

Unless otherwise directed, carry out these procedures with the power switch OFF and the power
UNPLUGGED.

■ Verify the electrical integrity

of the heater and sensor

1. Check for a broken heater or sensor

Measure the resistance across the tip as shown.

Measure the resistance while at room
temperature(15 to 25°C; 59 to 77°F). It should
be 8Ω±10%. If the resistance exceeds these
limits, replace the tip.

■ Check the grounding line 1. Unplug the connection cord from the station.

2. Measure the resistance value between pin 2
and the tip (both tips).

3. If the value exceeds 2Ω (at room tem­perature), perform the tip maintenance
described on P.12 of the FM-202 instruction
manual. If the value still does not decrease,
check the connection cord for breakage.

■ Checking the connection

cord for breakage

1. Insert a set of verified tips in both sides of
the handle.

2. Measure the resistance value between two
pins.

Pin 1 - Pin 3 7~9Ω
Pin 5 - Pin 3 8~10KΩ
Pin 7 - Pin 4 7~9Ω

Pin 8 - Pin 4 8~10KΩ
If the measured value exceeds above values,
replace the FM-2023.
