Sleep functions have become standard on all high performance soldering stations as a method to help
prolong the service life and reduce oxidation of soldering iron tips.
AUTO SHUTOFF – is a setting option that allows you to set the amount of time the soldering iron will
need to remain idle in the sleep holder until the soldering station automatically turns the power to the
soldering iron off instead of just reducing the power and making it ‘go to sleep’. The display will
continue to show the present setting and options until a choice is made. The button menu will change
and the buttons will have the labels OFF, 30m, and 60m. OFF will effectively turn this function off. 30m
will set the amount of time to 30 minutes, and 60m will set the amount of time to 60 minutes.
When the soldering iron remains idle for the set amount of time, the power will be shut off to the
soldering iron, and the display will show SHUTOFF. The soldering station can be turned back on simply
by pressing any of the three buttons in the front.
Automatic shutoff is a standard safety feature on all high performance soldering stations to mitigate first
and burn hazards as well as conserve energy in the even the soldering station is left on by accident for an
extended period of time.
After you have made your selection for this feature, the display will confirm the value for the setting and
then return to the SETTINGS screen where you can make further changes.
PASSWORD LOCK – is a setting that allows you to set a 3-letter password to lockout the SETTINGS
options and prevent unauthorized changes. When you make this selection, the button menu will change
and the buttons will have the labels ON and OFF. The middle button is not available.
If you choose ON, the display will confirm the setting value as ON, and then prompt you to enter the 3-
letter password starting with the first letter. The button menu will also change and the buttons will have
the labels UP, DOWN, and OK. Acceptable values for each of the three letters are A through Z. Press
the UP or DOWN buttons to select the first letter, then press the OK to accept the letter and move to the
second letter. For privacy reasons, the letters are obscured by solid blocks and you can only see the
value of the current letter you are selecting. Repeat this process for the third letter and after pressing OK,
the display will return to the SETTINGS screen where you can make further changes.
While this feature is on, you will see a small icon on the display that represents a key.
PROFILE – is the setting where you can program in the data of the two profiles used for informational
purposes. When you make this selection, the screen will prompt you to select what informational data
you want to program. Let’s look at the options.
STATION ID – is where you can enter any identifier for this soldering station. For example, you can
enter an asset ID number or other tracking number if your organization makes use of equipment
identification. Acceptable values are A through Z, 0 through 9, hyphen (-), period (.), and blank space
( ). There are 15 spaces for the Station ID label. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to choose the letter,
number, or symbol, and then press OK to accept that letter and move to the next character. If you are
