6. OPERA TION
OPERATION
1. Turn the power switch ON.
2. A heat range indicator (one of the four
segment buttons, indicating the selected
range) will blink.
3. When the set temperature is reached, the
buzzer alarm sounds indicating it is ready for
use. The indicator lamp remains on steadily.
● Control card
● Changing the heat range
1. Insert the control card into the slot in the
front of the unit.
As previously noted, the four segment
lights on the front panel indicate the heat
range selected for the FP-102 (6.5=
~650°F. [343°C]; 7.0= ~700°F. [371°C];
7.5= ~750°F. [399°C]; 8.0= ~800°F.
[427°C]. The ranges are approximate
values only; the actual tip temperature
depends upon tip geometry and mass.
These lights are indicators; one must
press the “heat range” button, located
below the indicators, to change range.
NOTE:
When not in use, place the soldering iron to the iron
holder.
Each FP-102 comes with a small card, which
inserts into the Card slot on the front of the unit.
This card is used when changing heat ranges.
Any FP-102 card can be used with any FP-102
soldering station.
CAUTION:
The control card must be inserted into the card slot in the
correct direction for data to be entered.
2. Press the heat range selector button. Each
time this button is pressed a different heat
range indicator lamp will light. It will blink
slowly until the set range is reached; once at
temperature, it will remain on steadily.
3. Removing the card.
When the station is on and the control card
is in the station, the temperature can be
changed any time.
4. When the alarm sounds and the heat range
indicator lamp starts lighting, the station is
ready for use.

● Using the iron holder
Remove any excess solder from the tip
by thrusting the tip into the cleaning wire.
(Do not wipe the tip against the wire. This
may cause molten solder to spatter.)
When the wire become dirty or loaded with
solder, turn the wire until a clean surface is
presented.
When changing the cleaning wire, lift the
case top vertically to prevent solder debris
from falling out.
● Replacing the tip
Removing and inserting the tip:
Removing the tip: Hold the sleeve assembly
to remove the connector.
Remove the tip from the sleeve assembly.
(If the tip is hot, hold it with the heat-resistant
pad.)
Inserting the tip: Hold the head part and
insert the tip into the sleeve assembly. Push
until the sleeve assembly touches the ring
round the tip; at this point the tip should not
be forced further into the sleeve assembly.
Put the tip into the connector.
Insert the new tip firmly into the connector.

There are no orientation requirements.
The tip can be very HOT. Use the heat-resistant pad for
handling hot tips, but do not hold the hot portion of the tip,
even with the pad, for a long time.
7. PARAMETER SETTINGS
Auto power shutoff
This is an optional setting. When it is activated
and the soldering iron is not used for 30
minutes, the power to the heating element is
shut off automatically, the alarm will sound
three times and the selected heat range lamp
will light slowly. When the temperature
decreases to 100°C/212°F, the heat range
indicator lamps light in a slow clockwise
sequence. If the station is left in this mode, the
'alarm' will continue to sound every thirty
minutes. To resume soldering, cycle the power
switch OFF, then ON. The power will be turned
on automatically if the heat range selector
button is pressed before the temperature
decreases to 100°C/212°F.
The auto power shutoff switch is on the bottom
front of the case. To turn this function ON ,set
the switch to the' I ' position. (OFF is reverse.)
CAUTION:

8. MAINTENANCE
● Tip maintenance
1. Tip temperature
High temperatures shorten tip life and may
cause thermal shock to components. Always
use the lowest possible temperature when
soldering. The excellent thermal recovery
characteristics of the FP-102 ensure effective
soldering at low temperatures.
2. Cleaning
3. After use
4. When the unit is not being used
and the auto power shutoff is not
active.
5. Inspecting and cleaning the tip
Always clean the soldering tip before use to
remove any residual solder or flux adhering to it.
Use the 599B tip cleaner (provided with the FP-
102) or use a clean and moist cleaning sponge
part no. A1495. Contaminants on the tip have
many deleterious effects, including reduced
heat conductivity, which contribute to poor
soldering performance.
Always clean the tip and coat it with fresh solder
after use. This guards against oxidation.
Never allow the unit to idle at a high temperature
for extended periods. This will allow the tip to
become oxidized. Turn the power switch OFF. If
it is to be out of service for several hours, it is
advisable to pull the power plug as well.
This procedure, if followed daily, will materially
add to tip life.
a. Set the heat range to 6.5.
b. When the temperature stabilizes, clean the
tip (see 2, above) and check the condition of
the tip. If the tip is badly worn or deformed,
replace it.
c. If the solder plated part of the tip is covered
with black oxide, apply fresh solder, containing flux, and clean the tip again. Repeat
until all the oxide is removed, then coat the
tip with fresh solder.
CAUTION:
NEVER file the tip to remove oxides!
d. Turn the power OFF and remove the tip. Set
the tip aside to cool.

Verify the electrical integrity of the heater and
sensor.
Measure the resistance of the heater and
sensor 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.
1. Unplug the connection cord from the station.
2. Measure the resistance value between Pin 2
and the tip.
3. If the value exceeds 2Ω (at room temperature),
perform the tip maintenance described on P.7. If
the value still does not decrease, check the
connection cord for breakage.
1. Remove the soldering tip and the sleeve
assembly.
2. Turn the front piece of the FM-2021 clockwise
and remove the cover.
3. Measure the resistance values between the
connector and the lead wires at the socket as
follows:
Pin 1 – RedPin 2 – Green
Pin 3 – BlackPin 5 – White
If any value exceeds 0Ω, replace the FM-2021.
