DESCRIPTION
CONTROL UNIT
The soldering station WSD80 is a part of the range of products which was developed for industrial manufacturing as well as for
the repair and laboratory sector. A microprocessor makes operation simple and comfortable. The digital electronic control system
guarantees the best possible control performance for various soldering tools. The soldering tools themselves are recognized
automatically by the soldering station and assigned the corresponding control parameters. The high-powered 24 V heating
elements make excellent dynamic performance possible, so that the soldering tools can be used universally.
A grounded soldering iron tip, zero power switch and antistatic design of control unit and iron complete the high quality standard.
The possibility of connecting an external input unit further increases the variety of functions of this soldering station. With the
optional input units WCB1 and WCB2 it is possible to implement time functions, locking functions, etc. Integrated temperature
gauge and PC interface are included in the extended scope of the input unit WCB2.
The temperature is set in a range between 150°F and 850°F using the up/down keys. The set point and actual value are displayed
digitally. A blinking red LED in the display signals that the preset temperature has been reached - this serves as an optical
regulator. This station meets all applicable MIL-STD’s and the J-STD-001B standards.
NOTE: The WSD80 can also power and control most Weller Desoldering Irons. If the applied load is such that the
heater power remains full on for 20 minutes, the heater power will be reduced to 90%.
SOLDERING IRON
WSP80: The soldering iron WSP80 is characterized by its capacity for reaching the soldering temperature quickly and
precisely. Its slim design and heating power of 80 watts makes universal usage possible - from extremely
fine applications to high-temperature soldering work. Work can be continued immediately after switching
soldering tips, since the temperature is reached again quickly.
See “Accessories” for additional tools.
CAUTION: (For Removing Tip) turn station “OFF” before removing tip/retainer. Hold iron tip down to remove tip retainer
and tip.

STARTING
Assemble soldering iron stand. Place the soldering iron in the stand. Insert the soldering iron plug into the receptacle (6) of the
control unit and lock by turning to the right. Check that the power supply corresponds to the specifications on the nameplate and
that the power switch (1) is in the OFF position. Connect the control unit to the power supply. Switch on the unit at the power switch
(1). When the appliance is switched on, a self-test is carried out, during which all display elements (2) are in operation. Then the
set temperature (required value) and the temperature version (°C/°F) are briefly displayed. Thereupon, the electronic system
automatically switches over to the actual tip temperature display. A red LED (5) lights up in the display (2). This serves as an
optical control for heater firing. Constant illumination means that the system is overheating. The blinking light signals that the
operating temperature has been reached. A setback time of 20 minutes may be set by despressing the UP key while the station is
switched on; ON will be displayed to indicate the SETBACK mode is set. Repeat the procedure to disable the SETBACK feature;
OFF will be displayed.

SETTING THE TEMPERA TURE
The digital display (2) shows the actual value temperature. By pressing the UP or DOWN key (3, 4) the digital display (2)
switches to the set point. The set point (“flashing display”) can be changed by tapping or by firmly pressing the UP or
DOWN button (3, 4) in the desired direction. Pressing the button will change the set point quickly. The digital display (2)
returns automatically to the actual value approximately 2 seconds after releasing the button.
MAINTENANCE
The transition between the heating element/sensor and the tip of the soldering iron may not come in contact with dirt,
foreign particles or become damaged, since this affects the precision of the temperature control.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
For initial heating, coat the selective tinnable tip with solder. This removes any oxidation or dirt on the tip, which may have
occurred during storage. During pauses between soldering and before storing the soldering iron, ensure that the tip of the
soldering iron is well coated. Do not use aggressive fluxing agents.
Note: Always ensure the proper position of the soldering iron tip. When removing tip (HOLD TIP DOWN)!
These soldering irons have been adjusted for an average-size tip. Deviations can occur due to exchanging of the tip or using
other tip designs.
