Features
•
HEATER/SENSOR FAILED DETECTION: if the sensor circuit fails, the display reads “S--E” and heater
power is cut. If heater circuit fails the display will read “H--E” and heater power is cut.
•
TEMPERATUE “LOCK-OUT” FEATURE: the temperature can be locked with a password which might be
useful in a production line.
•
ESD SAFE AND SPIKE FREE CIRCUITRY: the “Zero Voltage” electronic switching design also protects
voltage and current sensitive components (CMOS devices, etc.) against overcurrent and transient
voltage spikes.
•
DELAYED SUCTION: to eliminate the problem of solder clogging up the tip, a delayed switch feature
has been incorporated for the unit that allows the pump to continue sucking for 1.5 seconds after the
control switch is released.
•
LIGHTWEIGHT SOLDERING IRON: ergonomic mini handle that stays cool and prevents operator
fatigue.
•
ENERGY SAVE MODE: If the station has been idle for 20 minutes, the energy saver feature will
automatically bring the temperature down to 150°C. Activating the solder/desolder iron will disengage
the power saving feature and the unit will immediately return to the preset temperature. When no
activity is detected for 40 minutes, the main power will be switched off to lower power consumption
and extends tip life.
Note:
switch off the unit and then switch it on again to restart the device.
•
IRON WORKING OPTION: Both soldering, desoldering irons can be used at the same time. They can
also be shut off individually to save power.
•
isolated power supply: high-quality 32Vac transformer designed for lead-free soldering/desoldering
digital readout for both the soldering and desoldering iron
•
temperature stability: tip temperature accurate to within ±3°C (6°F)
•
spike-free circuitry: zero voltage switching and fully grounded design make this unit safe on electro
sensitive devices
•
electronic temperature control: adjustable temperature without changing tips
•
vacuum switch: suction is controlled by a finger-actuated thyristor circuit conveniently located on the
desoldering handle
•
iron assemblies: detachable soldering (ergonomic mini handle) and desoldering irons for easy use and
repair
•
pump a self-contained diaphragm vacuum pump engineered to provide continuous and maintenance-
free operation
•
isolated power supply: high-quality 32Vac transformer, heater and sensor fail detection, energy saving
mode
•
standard desoldering tip (incl.): BITDEST2 (1.2mm)
