The soldering iron must be placed at the soldering iron station. And only in this
state, the soldering station can sleep automatically when up to the setting time.
* The solder station will not into sleep when the sleeping time is 000. And the solder
will sleep at once when the setting sleeping time is 001 and the handle is placed at
the solder holder.
4 If the tip is deformed or heavily eroded, replace it with a new one.
4.4 Renew a detinned tip
1 Why does a detinned tip fail to work?
A detinned tip is one not wetted with solder. This exposes the plating to oxidation and degrades
the heat transfer efficiency of the tip.
2 Detinning is caused by:
a.
Failure to keep the tip coating with fresh solder while not in using.
b.
High temperatures.
c.
Insufficient melting in soldering operations.
d.
Wiping the tip on dirty or dry sponges or rags. (It should use a clean, wet, industrial
grade, sulfur-free sponge.)
e.
There are impurities in the solder, iron plating, or on the surfaces to be soldered.
3 Renew a detinned tip
a) Remove the tip from the handle after the tip cooling down.
b) Remove the dirty and oxides from the tip with 80-grit abrasive polyurethane foam stock or a
100-grit emery.
c) Wrap the stannum including rosin (
φ
0.8mm or larger) around the newly exposed iron
surface, insert the tip into the handle, and turn on the power switch.
Note: *Never file the tip to remove oxide.
*Proper daily care can prevent the tip from detinned.
4.5 Error messages
Various error messages will be displayed when there is something wrong with the device. If the
following message is displayed, refer to the 4.6.
Sensor error:
if there is some malfunction in the sensor or anywhere in the sensor
circuit, “
S-E
” will be displayed and the power supply to the soldering
iron will be cut off.
4.2 Tip‟s using caution
1 High soldering temperature can degrade the function of the tip and use the tip with the lowest
possible soldering temperature. The excellent thermal recovery characteristics ensure efficient
and effective soldering event at low temperatures. This also can protect the sensitive
components from thermal damage.
2 When using the soldering iron continuously, be sure to loosen the tip and remove all oxides on
the tip at least once a week. This helps prevent reducing of the tip temperature.
3 never keep the soldering iron at high temperature for a long time when not using,. Because the
tip will be covered with oxide that can greatly reduce the tip's heat conductivity
4 wipe the tip and coat it with fresh solder after using. This helps to prevent tip oxidation.
5 Clean the tip regularly with a cleaning sponge. Oxides and carbides deriving from the solder and
the flux can form impurities on the tip. These impurities can result in defective joints or reduce
the heating conductivity of the tip.
6
Use fine tips only when necessary. The plating on fine tips is less durable than the plating of the
blunter tips.
7
Do not use the tip as a detecting tool. Bending the tip can cause the plating to crack and shorten
the tip‟s life.
8 Use the minimum activation flux necessary to do the job. Higher activation flux is more
corrosive to the tip plating.
9 Don‟t apply pressure to the tip. More pressure does not equal more heat. To improve heat transfer,
use solder to form a thermal bridge between the tip and the solder joint.
