Display and operation

● Display

The front panel of the HAKKO FX-301B soldering pot has the following controls:

- Increases the value in the appropriate display window.

- decreases the value in the appropriate display window.

- Holding down the button for one second or more will enter into the temperature setting mode. If the button is otherwise pressed for only less than one second, the current set temperature will remain displayed. In the input mode, establish the entered value and exist the data input mode.

- Holding down the button for one second or more will enter into the offset input mode. If the button is otherwise pressed for only less than one second, the current offset value will remain displayed.

Operation

1. Turn the power switch ON.

2. The temperature set at factory is displayed. *The temperature was set to 350°C at factory.

3. The temperature control is started, causing the temperature to increase.

NOTE:

The display blinks when the power is turned ON or when settings are changed. This blinking occurs because the temperature control is in progress. The current temperature will be displayed in a short time.

6. PARAMETER SETTINGS

Before changing the setting temperature

The HAKKO FX-301B comes from the factory with the following values preset:

● Entering the parameters

1. °C or °F temperature display selection

2. Setting a solder type

Once a solder type close to the applicable one as shown in the right side, the temperature control will be performed for that solder type.

The HAKKO FX-301B has the following four parameters:

1) °C or °F temperature display selection

2) Setting a solder type

3) Setting the solder pot type

4) Setting the timer

Once you enter the parameter setting mode, the setting sequence will start in the following order. After all the parameters have been set, the displayed temperature setting starts blinking and the temperature of the solder pot starts rising.

1. Turn the power switch OFF.

2. Press and hold down the and buttons simultaneously, and then turn the power switch ON.

3. When you enter the parameter setting mode, is displayed.

4. Press the or button to select for °C or for °F. After checking the displayed selection, press the button. After establishing the temperature unit to use, enter the solder type selection mode.

3. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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:

CAUTION : Failure to comply with a CAUTION may result in injury to the operator, or damage to the

items involved. Two examples are given below.

WARNING: Failure to comply with a WARNING may result in serious injury or death.

CAUTION

The molten solder in the solder pot is dangerous since it reaches about 450°C/842°F. The pot cover also becomes a high temperature when the power is ON. Wrong handling may cause burns or fire. Be sure to observe the following precautions.

Use this product on highly stable metal workbench. Never use it near paper or other flammable materials. Inform others in the area that the product is hot and should not be touched. Never put water in the solder pot as this will cause solder to spatter out of the solder pot. Tu rn the power off when not in use, or left unattended. Before changing parts or storing the unit, be sure to turn the power off and allow the unit to cool to room temperature.

Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents or damage to the unit.

Do not use the HAKKO FX-301B for applications other than soldering. Do not modify the HAKKO FX-301B. Use only genuine HAKKO replacement parts. Do not allow the HAKKO FX-301B to become wet, or use it with wet hands. Be sure the work area is well ventilated. Soldering produces smoke. Do not do anything else that might be dangerous.

WARNING

When the power is ON, the temperature of the melted solder in the solder pot is approximately 450°C/842°F. Before changing the solder pot, be sure to unplug the power cord and let the solder and the unit cool to room temperature.

8. IN CASE THE DISPLAY AND THE ACTUAL TEMPERATURE IS DEFFERENT

● Entering offset value

The offset value was set to 0°C at factory.

Example:

When the set temperature is 400°C and the actual solder temperature in the solder pot is 350°C; The difference between the two is +50°C. Therefore, enter 050 instead of the current offset value.

1. Press the button on the front panel.

•

This will set the station to offset value entry mode.

2. Enter the offset value

The allowable ranges for offset values are from –70 to +70°C (In °F mode from –158 to +158°F).

a. Entering the hundreds digit

•

Press the or button to set the desired figure. In °C mode, 0 (plus) or - (minus) can be selected. (In °F mode, 0, 1 (plus) or -, -1 (minus) can be selected.) When the desired figure is displayed, press the button to enter. The tens digit will begin to flash.

b. Entering the tens digit

•

Press the or button to set the desired figure. Any value from 0 to 7 (In °F mode, 0 to 9) can be selected. When the desired figure is displayed, press the button to enter. The units digit will begin to flash.

c. Entering the units digit

•

Press th

e or b

utton to set the desired figure. Any value from 0 to 9 (In °F mode, same value can be selected.) When the desired figure is displayed, press th

button to enter.

Once you can check the display and the measured temperature, all the settings are finished.

When the temperature of solder reaches the set value, the buzzer sounds. About 5 to 10 minutes later, measure the temperature of solder. If the measured value is different from the displayed temperature, match them with each other by entering an offset.
