5.1 The Programs
The 1003A.E has fi ve independent programs. The settings for the
different (soldering) tools are saved in these programs and can be
changed by the user. By calling up a program, you can quickly convert
the station to another soldering tool or adapt the station to different
soldering tasks.
The station automatically recognizes when a particular tool is connec-
ted and shifts to the program with the settings stored for that tool. The
settings then take effect immediately.
No temperatures or parameters therefore need to be reset at the station.
The program is only changed automatically when the tool is changed.
The programs 1-4 can be changed manually with the keys (+) and (-).
Program 5 can only be called when the temperature sensor is connec-
ted. As long as the temperature sensor is connected the programs 1-4
cannot be started.
The factory settings apply as long as no setpoints or parameters are
entered. The following sections describe how to change the settings.
Using the Tool Selector
The Tool Selector allows four different soldering and desoldering tools
to be used alternately at the 1003A.E.
When the Tool Selector is switched, the 1003A.E recognizes the given
tool and automatically shifts the program. The 1003A.E is therefore
ideally suited for use of the Tool Selector.

5.1.1 Program Selection

A program is selected according to the following fl ow chart (see fi g. 1:
Program selection fl ow chart).

5.1.2 Description of the Flow Chart
By pressing the (+) and (-) keys, the user moves from the actual value
display to the program display. These keys can also be used to select
the requested program (Pr1 to Pr4) when there is no temperature
sensor connected as a tool. The user can return to the actual value disp
by pressing the ENTER key. The parameters of the set program are
immediately loaded and active.
If the ENTER key is not pressed, the station automatically jumps back
to the actual value display after 8 s. In this case, too, the parameters
of the set program are loaded and take effect immediately.

5.2 The Menu System
The operating concept of the 1003A.E allows you easily to use all
setting options by means of only three control buttons. All programs
are set in the same way. Once the parameters have been entered for a
program, the station can be quickly converted for different, frequently
recurring soldering operations by simply changing the program.
Elaborate changes of the individual parameters are not required.
For setting a program, the latter must fi rst be preset as described in
section 5.1. All of the following setpoint and parameter changes now
refer to this program. The menu is operated via the 3 keys +, - and
ENTER.
Settings are automatically saved and take effect immediately. After 8
seconds, the station switches automatically to the actual value
display (temperature display) (Figure 2). This view always shows the
current soldering tip temperature (three digits) and (as the 4th
character) the unit of temperature: C (Celsius) or F (Fahrenheit).
