1. Preface
Thank you very much for purchasing [MW50 Controller].
Please read Notes for safety before use, and use this machine properly, keep this
manual after read.
2. Notes for safety
ＣＡＵＴＩＯＮ！
Be sure to read this manual before using this machine.
・ Never touch the power and 5P core relay cord with dump hands. Otherwise, you may get hurt due to electric
shockandetc.(deathatworse)
・ Never dampen the iron tip with water or other liquid. Otherwise, burst cord may cause fire, malfunction, electric
shockandetc.(deathatworse)
・ Take great care to handle the soldering iron while it is not rested on the workbench. Otherwise the heated tip
maycause fireor adjacentoperatorsmay gethurt.
・ Nevertouch theiron tipwhilecurrentisbeingpassed. Otherwise, youmaygetburnt. If you haveto touch the
tip like replacement of irontipor parts, turn off the power and pull out the power plug from the receptacle, wait for
awhileandcheckifithasalreadycooleddownsufficientlybyusingathermometer oretc.
・ Do not overhaul the machine when the machine has trouble. Otherwise, it may cause malfunction, electric
shock and etc (death at worst). Contact with our customer service department and follow instructions to make
maintenance.
・ Be sure to use proper replacement parts such as fuse, checking capabilities. Otherwise, parts with wrong
capacitiesmaycausefire,malfunctionandetc.
3. Recommendation of Auto-tuning before use
It is recommendable to do Auto-tuning before use, to operate with good effect for each conditions (iron tip
temperature, shape of iron tip, etc.) and each environment, although each parameter is set with the standard
parametervalueattheshipment.
※Auto-tuning withsimplekeyoperation.(How touse,please referP.7)

4. Notes for installation and use
・ Thismachine isdesignedwithearthspecification. Forsafety, besuretouse anearth-quippedreceptacle.
(Ifyoudonothavesuchreceptacle,installanearthseparately.)
・ Forsurrounding conditions,usethismachineona neat workbench onwhichaconductive matis put.
・ Refrain from place where the machine would be exposed too much moisture, direct sunshine, much dust and
vibration.
・ Inorderto preventstatic electricity, it isrecommended usingastaticelectricityremovaldevice,wriststrapetc.
・ Odoris generatedduetothe useof solder andflux. Besuretoventilate workplaces.
(E.g.fittingofventilatoretc.)
・ Besureto pull outthepowerplug,whenthemachineisnotused.
・ Besureto grab thepowerpluginsteadofcable, wheninserting andpulling outtheplug.
・ If the power voltage is changedfrom 100V to 220V, make sureof confirm the specifications of the soldering iron
unitbefore the change.
・ Ifflammableobjects areplaced nearthismachine, thereisa danger offire. Becareful.

(C) How to assemble
① Insertthe Power cable into 3Pinlet.
② Connect the soldering iron to 5P connector
at the front, and lock it with rotating to right.
Please make sure the voltage of the
soldering iron unit is applicable to the
input-voltageof MW50controller.

５
(D) How to use
① Turn on Power
Insert the power plug intothe receptacle and confirm the input voltage of soldering iron and theone of
this controller are same, then set the power switch to ON.
※Ifuse100Vtypeof soldering ironwith220input voltageinoversea, itmakes heaterdamaged.
②Setting and confirmation of the sensor input type
MW50 controller is workable for 2 different kinds of soldering iron units, one is J-sensor type and other
K-sensor type. Please make sure that the each sensor-type of soldering iron unit and the one of
controller should bethesame. Otherwise, temperature control isunabletowork.
※The sensor type is set at the shipment.

Auto-tuning: Itautomatically calculate suitable PIDvaluewhichcontrolsoldering iron.
Please make sure to do Auto-tuning otherwise, soldering iron may not perform with enough effect.
Attention
PleasemakesuretodoAuto-tuning after reach to setting temperature.
Please do not touch the soldering iron during Auto-tuning (during AT is blinking at right bottom of
the screen). PID value is automatically calculated by fluctuating
temperature (about 2minutes).
Touching the soldering iron during the fluctuation in temperature, it cause incorrect PID value
calculation and soldering iron may not perform with enough effect.
Auto-tuningis done when the blinkingstops.

It is recommendable NOT to change the initial setting value. Setting lower value could restrain from
overshooting, however,there ispossibility unableto recovertothesetting temperature.
（1）Setting of parameter value
Prevent from Deterioration and Oxidization of the iron tip, the soldering iron tip temperature is lowered
(Power Down) and supplying electric power to the heater is stopped (Power Off) automatically when
theirontip temperatureis no changed during the specified time(available tosetthe time).
Thisfunctionis alsoeffectivefor savingenergy andsafety.

AboutAuto-Power Off time:
e.g.:Settingvalue 「30 minutes」
During Auto-Power Down operation (  is blinking at SV value), no fluctuation within the
temperature range while「30 minutes」, the controller recognizes that soldering iron is not using, and
automaticallyturn offthe power.
OnceAuto-Power Off operation starts,it becomes same condition with Power off.
Set the value “0” if you want to cancel this mode.
(2) Other operation method
① Return to operation mode fromAuto-Power Down mode
Ⅰ：When the temperature move outfrom the Auto-Power Down temperature range(initial value: 5℃),
Auto-Power Down function is released, and return to operation mode. For example clean iron tip
bymoisturizedspongeis easytoreturn.
When Auto-Power Down function is not released, press △or ▽key more than 3seconds to
release.
Ⅱ：AtAuto-PowerDownmode,press △ or ▽keymorethan3secondstoreturntooperationmode.
② Return to operation mode fromAuto-Power Off mode
Ⅰ：Turn onthe power again.
③ Manual operation
Ⅰ：At the operation mode, after reach to setting temperature, press △ or ▽key more than 3
secondstomovetoAuto-Power Downmode.
Ⅱ：AtAuto-PowerDownmode,press △ or ▽keymorethan3secondstoreturntooperationmode.
