5.Display description
Fig 5.1 system flow
After the power switch is turned on, the soldering station starts to display the boot UI. If there
is no access handle, prompt “No Tip”, otherwise enter main UI and the soldering station works
normally. The working status of the soldering station can be divided into the following four types:
Normally: Heating and constant temperature at set temp.In the main UI, rotate or click the
encoder to enter temperature adjust UI. You can adjust the set temperature by rotating and clicking
the encoder.After the adjustment is completed, it will automatically return to the main UI.
Double-click the encoder to enter the setting menu UI, long press the encoder will return to the
main UI. When a period of time (Time①: Sleep Time) does not use the handle, does not rotate and
clicks the encoder, it goes to sleep.
Sleeping：Heating and constant temperature at sleep temp. Vibrate the handle, rotate or click
the encoder to exit the sleep state and return to the main UI. When a period of time (Time②:
Standby time) does not use the handle, does not rotate, and clicks the encoder, it enters the standby
state.
Standby：Not heated. Vibrate the handle, rotate or click the encoder to exit the standby state
and return to the main UI. The temperature of tip drops from the sleep temperature,when it drops

to 50 °C, it enters the ready-to-shutdown state, and then counts down for 10 seconds.After the
timer is over, the screen goes out and the system enters the off state.
Off state：Not heated. The screen is off (Note: The power here is not disconnected!). In this
state, the screen goes out and the system is running at very low power consumption. When the
handle is detected to vibrate, rotate or click the encoder, it will restart.

Note: Double-click the encoder on the main UI or warning UIto enter the menu UI, rotating
the encoder to select the menu option, click to enter next menu, long press to exit.
6.1 Mode select
Fig 6.1 mode select
The soldering iron working mode (also called the temperature regulating mode) is divided
into the normal mode and the boost mode. The temperature adjustment method: rotating or
clicking the encoder in the main UI to enter the temp adjust UI, after the adjustment is completed,
it will automatically return to the main UI.
Normal mode：In the temp adjust UI, click the encoder the set temp cycle in the four levels
temperature (200, 300, 350, 450); rotating the encoder to adjust the set temp by step.
Boost mode：In the temp adjust UI, click the encoder the set temp switch between the boost
temp (default 420) and the previous temperature; rotating the encoder to adjust the set temp by
step. When returning to the main UIwith boost temp, the boost countdown(boost time) will be
displayed in the upper right corner of the main UI. After the temperature reaches the boost temp,
the countdown will start.At the end of the timer, the set temp will return to the previos temp. The
boost main UI is shown in Figure 6.2 below.

6.3 Sleep set
Fig 6.4 sleep set
Sleep temp: default 200℃.
Sleep time: In units of minutes, the setting range is 1~20 and 99. That is the time①in the
control system flow chart of Fig. 1. In the normal working state, and the system enters the sleep
state without using the handle, rotating or clicking the encoder within the specified sleep time.
Note: When set to 99, it means not sleeping! Do not sleep and will not enter standby!
Standby: Standby time. In units of minutes. The setting range is 0~20. That is the time②in
the control system flow chart of Fig. 1. In the sleep state, the system enters the standby state
without using the handle, rotating or clicking the encoder within the specified standby time. Note:

6.4 Tip select
Fig 6.5 tip select
The system can save 6 tip calibration parameters, the user can select, calibrate and save any
one. (Note: the factory default selection of the tip 1 is suitable for the tip of this soldering station)
6.5 Tip calibration
Fig 6.6 tip calibration
The tip calibration is divided into the following three steps:
Step 1: Select the tip to be calibrated.
Step2: zero calibration. Disconnect the handle from the soldering station host. Double-click
the encoder in the warning UI to enter the menu interface, select “5. Tip calibration”, the interface
prompts “Tip 1 zero calibration, calibrate?”, select OK and click the encoder, interface Prompt
"Please insert a cooled soldering iron!", make sure the tip has cooled to room temperature, then
connect the handle to the host. Finally, the interface prompts "Calibration succeeded!" and
displays the calibration value.
Step3: 3-point temperature calibration. The handle and the soldering station host are normally
connected. Double-click the encoder in the main UI to enter the menu UI, select “5. Tip
calibration”, the interface prompts “The tip 1 is calibrated, determine recalibration?”, select OK
and click the encoder, the interface “Target: 200 350 500 °c” is displayed, 3 target temperature
points, “Adjustment: 493 650 916 ad” is the calibration parameter value corresponding to the
temperature point. Calibrate 200 °C, place the tip on a professional soldering iron temperature
measuring instrument, turn the encoder to adjust the parameter value, the temperature of the
soldering iron will change in real time, so that the temperature of the thermometer is stable at
200 °C (Note: Thermometer The display has a hysteresis, it takes a while to wait), and the 200
temperature point is calibrated. Then click the encoder to calibrate the 350 temperature point, click
the encoder to calibrate 500 temperature point, and finally click to exit the calibration interface,
and the calibration is complete.

Note: The soldering station has calibrated. The default is the soldering iron tip 1. If
there is no professional soldering iron temperature measuring instrument, it is not
recommended to recalibrate!
6.6 Beep set

The beeper is used to indicate that the iron temperature reaches the target temperature ("beep
beep"), power on ("beep"), enters boost mode, and exits boost mode ("beep"). The default is open
and the user can turn it on or off as needed.
6.7 Auto shutdown
Fig 6.8 auto shutdown
In the standby state, after the soldering iron temperature drops from the sleep temperature to
50 °C, if the automatic shutdown is turned on, the device enter the countdown state, and the
system is turned off after the countdown ends. IfAuto Power Off is off, it remains in standby.

8.Maintenance
note:
When the new tip is used for the first time, it is necessary to heat the tin to 250 °C first to
prevent dry burning oxidation!
When the new tip is used for the first time, there will be a temperature jump problem,
which will stabilize after a few hours of use!
After the soldering iron is used, apply proper tin to the tip of the soldering iron to prevent
oxidation before disconnecting the power supply.
The tip of the soldering iron works normally at a temperature of about 300 to 380 °C. Do not
use it for a long time (more than 420 °C) to avoid the effect of dry burning on the life of the
tip.
Do not force the tip when welding.
If the surface of the tip is not oxidized, use a cloth or other tool to carefully wipe the surface
layer, then heat it to 200 °C and immediately apply tin to the surface to prevent re-oxidation.
9.Precautions
Do not drop or hit the machine!
Do not get the machine wet or use it in a humid environment to avoid the risk of electric
shock due to short circuit in the internal circuit!
The temperature of the soldering station can reach 100~500 °C during normal operation. Do
not touch the soldering iron!
When replacing the tip, turn off the power and replace it when the tip is cooled to room
temperature!
Never connect the handles of other manufacturers to this soldering station! Different
manufacturers handle interface definitions are different!
There is a high voltage circuit in the soldering station, so don't disassemble it!
