Used to compensate for the temperature output error o
hot air gun.
Compensation range: -50℃~+50℃, -90 ℉ ~+90 ℉.
In case of a positive value, the hot air gun temperature
will increase to the set value.
In case of a negative value, the hot air gun temperature
will decrease to the set value.
The factory default is: 0.
Note: If the user discovers that the temperature is inaccurate when replacing the heating core or the handle, it can
be corrected through parameter modification as follows:
1. Set the handle temperature to be corrected at a suitable value, e.g. 350℃/662℉.
2. After the temperature remains stable, test the actual temperature of the current handle air outlet using
temperature tester, e.g. the actual temperature is 365℃/689℉.
3. The actual temperature is 15℃/27℉higher than the set temperature when a conclusion is drawn through
analysis.
4. Set the temperature compensation value as -15℃/-27℉, that is, compensate for the output temperature error.
Used to set the timed heating time of product, and after
pressing the handle switch, it will start to work and count
down and when the timing is finished, close the heating.
Off: The timing function is closed.
10-900: Open the timing function; the timing time unit is“S”.
When there is 10sec countdown, there will be a prompt tone
“D” once.
