If you select the MANUAL SET option, you will then be shown a list of power ranges – 1, 2, and 3. One
is the highest power range tip with a self-regulated tip temperature of 450°C / 840°F. Two is the next
highest power range tip with a self-regulated tip temperature of 400°C / 750°F. Three is reserved for
future development of a lower power range tip with a self-regulated tip temperature of 350°C / 662°F.
Press the button with the OK label to make your selection, and after making the selection, the display will
go back to showing you a graphic representation of the power output to the soldering iron tip.
If you initially choose OFF for this feature, then the feature is disabled and the display will go back to
showing you a graphic representation of the power output to the soldering iron tip.
This feature is included to allow for an easy visual identification of the tip power rating being used by the
soldering station instead of relying on tip part numbers that are blocked by the soldering iron, become
hard to read over time, or heat resistant paints that wear off.
CANCEL – is the last display option and selecting this will return the display to showing you a graphic
representation of the power output to the soldering iron tip.
SET (SETTINGS)
The last button is labeled ‘SET’ which is short for SETTINGS. This button allows you to make changes to the
operating settings of the soldering station. While the button menu is displayed, pressing the SET button will
bring up the setting options. Let’s take a look at what they are.
DISPLAY – is a setting option that will allow you to choose what type of display you want to see as a
graphic representation of the power output to the soldering iron tip. The NORMAL display is a type of
bar graph display called a histogram. The EXPAND display starts a set of 4 small squares in the center of
the display and as the power increases, the squares expand vertically both to the left and right. OFF
stops any graphic representation of the power output to the soldering iron tip. The display will continue
to show these setting options until a choice is made. The button menu will change and the buttons will
have the labels UP, DOWN, and OK. After making your selection, you will be returned to the SETTINGS
screen where you can make further changes.
AUTO SLEEP – is a setting option that will allow you to set the amount of time the soldering iron will
need to remain idle in the sleep holder until the soldering station reduces the tip temperature, effectively
making the soldering iron go to sleep. The default value is 6 minutes, but you can choose any value
from 1 to 29 minutes. A value of zero (0) minutes turns the automatic sleep function off. The display will
continue to show the setting time, starting with the tens digit flashing, indicating that any changes you
make will be to this digit. Acceptable values are 0, 1, and 2. Make any changes using the buttons
labeled UP or DOWN, then press the button labeled OK to accept the value for the tens digit. The ones
digit will begin flashing. Acceptable values are 0 through 9. Make any changes using the buttons
labeled UP or DOWN, then press the button labeled OK to accept the value for the ones digit. The
display will then confirm the value for the setting and then return to the SETTINGS screen where you can
make further changes.
