OPERATING GUIDELINES
B. HOT AIR GUN
1. Follow initial procedures, “
A. INITIAL PROCEDURES
”.
2. Activate “HOT AIR GUN” function switch (“9” from the control panel).
3. The system will immediately start to blow air at an airflow rate of
50
while rapidly and safely increasing the air temperature to
100°C
(default
system operating parameters). These values will be reflected from the
Hot Air Gun Air Temperature and Air Pressure display panels, “6” and “7”
from the control panel, respectively.
4. Adjust the air flow level using the AIR PRESSURE adjustment buttons (“
2
”
from the control panel).
5. Adjust the hot air gun air temperature using the HOT AIR GUN TEMPERA
TURE adjustment buttons (“
1
” from the control panel). The prefix of the
display for Hot Air Gun Temperature will change from “
H
” to “
h
” indicating
that air temperature is being adjusted. It will return to “
H
” after a few
seconds of releasing the buttons and while the temperature is gradually
increasing or decreasing until the desired temperature is reached. In the
Default System Parameters (Hot Air Gun)

6. When job is finished, deactivate the SOLDERING IRON activation switch.
7. Wait for the soldering iron to cool down before detaching the soldering
iron connection assembly from the 3pin receptacle at the control panel
(if necessary).
8. Allow sufficient time for the soldering iron to completely cool down be
fore keeping in a safe storage. (Optional but recommended)
NOTE:
The soldering iron operating temperature is adjustable be
tween
200°C
and
480°C
with an increment of
2°
per step.
OPERATING GUIDELINES
H. AutoSleep Mode (Hot Air Gun)
The device has a builtin autosleep mode feature such that if the Hot
Air Gun sits on its handle and remained idle after a certain period, the device
will switch to sleep mode (provided the power delivered to the system re
main uninterrupted). This mechanism is triggered by a countdown timer so
when the time has elapsed, the system will blow air (at room temperature)
at maximum rate in order to bring down the temperature. During this time,
the prefix of the display for Hot Air Gun air temperature will also change
from “
H
” to “
C
”. Once the temperature drops to approximately 90°C, the Hot
Air Gun will automatically stop and show an alldash display indicating that
The device will automatically resume operation with the last userdefined
parameters, i.e., hot air gun temperature and airflow level, when the Hot Air
Gun is lifted again or removed from the handle.
