This product meets or exceeds the requirements
established by Weller for superior performance,
versatility and quality.
1. Cautions! / Warnings!
Please read these Operating Instructions and the
attached Safety Information carefully prior to initial
operation. Failure to observe the safety warnings
may result in accident, injury, or risk to health.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for damage
resulting from misuse of the machine or unauthorized alterations.
Warning: This product when used for soldering
and similar applications, produces chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer
and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Safety Information:
● Always place the soldering iron in its original
holder
● Remove all inflammable objects from the proximity of the hot soldering tool.
● Use suitable protective clothing to prevent the
risk of burns associated with molten solder.
● Never leave a hot soldering iron unattended.
● Never work on electrically live circuits or com-
ponents.
● Always wear eye protection when working with
soldering and desoldering applications.
The Weller WHA900 Hot Air Station corresponds
to the EC Declaration of Conformity in accordance
with the basic safety requirements of Directives
89/336/EEC and 73/23EEC.
2. Description
The WHA900 hot air station was developed for
general soldering re-work on Surface Mount components. The temperature of the hot air is controlled electronically and is variable between
100°F and 1000°F. 120 VAC (8) is required to
operate the unit. The air flow is variable electronically within the range of approximately 5-50
l/minute and is generated by a self contained
pump. The hot air is activated using the Start/Stop
Push Button, (5) at the front of the unit.

The WHA900 is grounded through the 120 VAC
three wire power cord.
Standby mode:
This unit has a power-on function to activate a
Standby Mode (or secondary temperature airflow
setting). Before switching on the unit, choose the
Temperature and the Airflow settings that you
would prefer to use for the Standby Mode of operation.
Activating Standby:
Adjust the Temperature and Airflow control to the
desired Standby setting. Depress the Start/Stop
push button and hold while switching on the unit.
Keep the button depressed for approximately 5
seconds after turning the unit on. The pump will
start and the Standby function is activated. When
the unit is switched on, the Temperature and the
Airflow will be set to the Standby values. When
you depress the Start/Stop push button, the
Airflow and Temperature will go to the actual “Set”
values. The actual “Set” values should be set at a
normal Temperature and Airflow settings capable
of performing the rework application. Depress the
button again and the unit will go back to the
Standby values.
Note: To change the Standby settings, you must
first Deactivate Standby Mode as described
below.
Deactivating Standby:
If the Standby function is activated, depress the
Start/Stop push button while switching on the unit.
Keep the button depressed for about 5 seconds.
The unit is now in the original operating mode.
Repeat the “Activating Standby” directions to
assign new preferred settings.

The Airflow and Temperature are activated after
depressing the Start/Stop Push Button. Heat-up
time of the nozzle depends primarily on the size
of the nozzle and the air flow.
Temperature Offset
1. With the WHA900 off and the heater cooled down. Place Measuring Nozzle ( 0058736875 ) on to the
end of the Hot Air Pencil and fasten it with the set screw.
2. Insert the 0.5mm Type “K” Thermocouple, ( 0058736786 ) into the hole of the Measuring Nozzle and
place the Hot Air Pencil in the safety rest. Switch the device on.
3. Choose the temperature you want to adjust with the temperature knob.
4. Activate the unit with the Start / Stop push button. Set the Airflow Knob to 4. Wait approximately 5
minutes before continuing.
5. Read the temperature value indicated on the measuring instrument.
6. If the temperature has to be corrected, depress and hold the Start / Stop push button for approximately 15 seconds while the hot air is activated. The green LED (1) will light continuosly.
7. While the green LED (1) is continuosly lit, immediately turn the temperature knob slightly beyond center and rotate back to the center position (550 °F). This will be your “zero” point for adjustments. Rotate
clockwise for positive and counterclockwise for negative adjustments.
8 Adjust the temperature knob until the desired setting is indicated on the measuring device and has
stabilized. Depress the Start / Stop push button to confirm.
9. The Temperature Offset function is now complete. You may adjust the temperature knob to your original setting.
10. Repeat steps 3-9 if additional Offset is required.
Warning: Do not direct the hot air pencil at
people or inflammable objects.
4. Operating guidelines
Changing the nozzles;
The hot air nozzles are fixed to the heating element with a set/attachment screw. Loosen the
set/attachment screw to remove nozzles.
