A good joint is assured if the iron's operating temperature is set within the parameters
suitable for the type of solder being used. The solder will flow too slowly if the
temperature is too low; if the temperature is too high, the flux in the solder may burn
which will give rise to billowing white smoke. In turn, this will result in a dry joint or in
permanent damage to the PCB.

Operating Instructions
Verify whether the operating voltage of the unit is identical to that of the electrical
supply.
General
1.
Make sure the unit's power switch is in the "OFF"-position.
2.
Plug in the soldering tweezers and iron. Note that the connectors have a notch so
they only fit in one way. Do not force.

suitable mains outlet.
4.
When applicable, connect an earth wrist strap to the earth jack at the back of the
station.
Parameter Settings
1.
Switch on the station.
2.
Set the iron/tweezers switch to TWZ for tweezers parameter settings or to SIA for
regular soldering iron configuration.

Press the SET-button and hold for at least 5 seconds until the display shows
"— — —" (flashing).Use the ▲-button to enter the mode lock password "010"
(default) and press the set-button to go into setup menu. A wrong password will
return to normal working mode (temperature indication).
4.
In the setup menu, the display will show "F-0". Press the ▲- or ▼-button to select
modes. If no button is pressed within 15 seconds the device will return to normal
operation mode.
F-0: exit menu mode
Press the SET-button when the display shows F-0 to exit the setup menu and return
to temperature indication.
F-1: password mode
When password mode is enabled, the user cannot change the temperature settings
on the station unless he or she knows the password.
Press the set-button once to enter password mode. Press the ▲- or ▼-button to
change display between 000 and 100, with 000 indicating password mode disabled
and 100 indicating password enabled. Press the set-button to return to the setup
menu.
F-2: temperature correction mode
Press the set-button once to enter temperature correction mode. Press the ▲- or ▼-
button to enter a correction factor for the temperature, e.g. when the display shows
300 °C but the actual temperature is only 290 °C, add 10 °C to the shown
correction value.
When in °C negative values are indicated with a minus in front; in °F negative
values are indicated by a blinking display (5 s interval). Press the set-button to
return to the setup menu.
F-3: unit of temperature
Press the set-button once to enter temperature mode. Press the ▲- or ▼-button to
change between °C and °F. Press the set-button to return to the setup menu.
