TROUBLESHOOTING 

GUIDE 

Problem: LCD displays ‘Open Source’. 
1. 

Ensure cartridge is properly seated. 

2. 

Ensure animated box cursor ( ) is on desired output connector. 

3. 

Tighten hand-piece connector to output connector. 

 

Problem: Solder hand-piece tip cartridge does not heat up. 
1. Replace tip cartridge. 
2. If problem persists, replace hand-piece with known good hand-piece and insert 

new cartridge. 

3. If cartridge heats up, replace non-functioning hand-piece. 

 

Problem: Low power operation of the unit.  
Check input power to the unit. The unit can draw up to 10A of current at 110V. 
Do not plug into power sources such as power strips that are rated less than 10A. 
Multiple high current devices plugged into the same electrical circuit can cause low 
power operation, distribute high current devices among multiple circuits or increase 
the electrical circuit capacity. 
 

10. Safety 

 

 

 
 
With power applied, the tip temperature can be > 300°C. Failure to observe the following 
precautions may lead to injury to users or damage the equipment: 

 

Do not touch any metallic parts of the hand-piece 

 

Do not use near flammable items 

 

Do not use unit for any function other than described in this manual  

 

Use only genuine Metcal replacement parts 

 

Use in a well ventilated area or with fume extraction 

 

Do not use the equipment with wet hands 

 

Connect only to properly grounded outlets to prevent risk of electric shock. 

 

Always place hand-piece back into the work stand to prevent accidental 
burning of oneself or surrounding objects. 

 

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the 
appliance. 

 
Although the systems offer superior EOS (Electrical Overstress) protection, periodic 
checks of the instrument cord should be incorporated into standard operator 
maintenance procedures.
