2. Commissioning
Mount the soldering iron holders (see exploded diagram). Place the soldering iron in
safety holder. Plug the soldering iron connectors into sockets (6) and (9) on the
control unit and lock by turning slightly to the right. Check whether the mains
voltage matches with the information on the type plate and that the mains switch (1)
is in the off position.
Plug the control unit into the mains (11). Switch on the unit at the mains switch (1).
When the unit is switched on, a self-test is performed during which all the display
elements (2) are operated. The temperature set (target value) on the activated
channel is then briefly displayed along with the temperature scale (°C/°F).The
electronics then switches automatically to the current value display. LED (5) or (10)
illuminates. These light emitting diodes are optical regulator monitors. Continuous
illumination means that the system is heating up. Flashing indicates that the
operating temperature has been reached.
Channel Selection
The digital display can be switched to channel 1 or 2 by operating the channel
selection button (7). The currently displayed channel is identified by a red/orange
light emitting diode (5) or (10) over connector.
The channel displayed can be switched off by operating the „Up" and „Down"
buttons (3) (4) simultaneously. This is confirmed in the display with „Off".
To activate a channel that has been switched off, the channel is selected, if
necessary, using the channel selection button, and switched on by pressing the „Up"
and „Down" buttons (3) (4) simultaneously. The current value is displayed in the
display.
Setting the temperature
The digital display (2) shows the actual value temperature. By pressing the UP or
DOWN key (3, 4) the digital display (2) switches to the setpoint. The setpoint can be
changed by tapping or by firmly pressing the UP or DOWN button (3, 4) in the
desired
direction. Pressing the button will change the setpoint quickly. The digital display (2)
returns automatically to the actual value approximately 2 seconds after releasing the
button

Standard setback:
Setting back the set temperature to 150°C (300°F). The setback time, which follows
the switching of the soldering station to standby mode, is 20 minutes. After three
setback times (60 minutes) the "Auto-off" function is activated. The soldering tool is
switched off (blinking line on the display).
Setting: When switching on, hold the "UP" key (3) until ON or OFF appears in the
display. Repeat this step to change.
The setback function can be adjusted for both channels. The channel set is defined
by the channel displayed on switch off. On the usage of very fine soldering iron bits,
the reliability of the setback function may be impaired.
Maintenance
The transition between the heating element / sensor and the tip of the soldering iron
may not come in contact with dirt, foreign particles or become damaged, since this
affects the precision of the temperature control.
3. Equipotential bonding (not USA )
The various circuit elements of the 3.5 mm jack bush (8) make 4 variations possible:
Hard-grounded:
No plug (delivery form)
Equipotential bonding:
With plug, equalizer at center contact
(impedance 0 ohms)
Potential free:
with plug
Soft-grounded:
With plug and soldered resistance.Grounding via set
resistance value.
4. Instructions for use
For initial heating, coat the selective tinnable tip with solder. This removes any
oxidation or dirt on the tip which may have occurred during storage. During pauses
between soldering and before storing the soldering iron, ensure that the tip of the
soldering iron is well coated. Do not use aggressive fluxing agents.
