Operating; Preparing; Adjusting The Temperature - Fixpoint EP 5 digital Manual De Instrucciones

6 Operating:

6.1 Preparing:

1. Insert the spiral-shaped metal holder into the corresponding opening of the soldering
iron stand and fix it with the holder screws.
2. Soak the viscose cleaning sponge with clean water and drain it well before replacing it
in the sponge tray.
3. The soldering tip is mounted to a ceramic heating element and fixed by a safety socket
to the soldering iron. Change the soldering tip only at the cooled down soldering iron.
In order to do so, unscrew the union nut at the soldering iron and push off the safety
socket. Now the soldering tip is exposed and you can pull it off carefully. Prerequisite
for an exact sensor-temperature control is the close contact of the carrier tube,
heating element and soldering tip. Loosed screw connections cause interruptions in
the control unit. Therefore the screw connections should be inspected regularly
regarding their tight fitting and, if required, be tightened accordingly.
4. Fix the soldering stand to the right side of the soldering station. (plug-in slit connection)
The soldering iron may not be operated without the soldering tip in any case,
because the heating element and the temperature sensor could be damaged or
destroyed.
6.2 Connecting:
1. Connect the soldering iron to the corresponding connection socket at the front side of
the soldering station by inserting the connection switch of the iron wiring (4-pole diode
plug with guide notch). Fix it with the union nut.
2. Connect the mains plug of the soldering station with the 220 - 240 V AC / 50 Hz mains
socket, while the mains switch is turned off to the 0-status.
Now the soldering station is ready to use.

6.3 Adjusting the Temperature:

1. Switch on the soldering station by turning the mains switch into the I-status. Now the
LC-Display flashes on. The appearing indication of 350°C PRESET indicates the
soldering station is set to a soldering temperature of 350°C and it is heating
up to it now.
2. By using the two temperature adjusting keys the soldering station can be adjusted
step by step to a soldering temperature of 150 - 450°C. Every short individual pressing
of the adjusting keys increases, or respectively, decreases the temperature by a value
of 1°C. For a continuous adjustment keep the respective adjusting key pressed until
the desired temperature is displayed.
