Duratool ZD-915 User manual

Desoldering Rework Station
Model: ZD-915

1. Description
ZD-915 is designed for lead free desoldering especially. The quick heating and strong
power are for convenient and clear desoldering all types of DIP components.
Reasonable structure, single hand operation and strong absorbing power can easily
remove the residual solder from the one-sided or two-sided PCB.
This appliance is used in the fields of electronic research, teaching and production,
especially in the repairing and desoldering on the electronic appliances and
communication equipments.
1.1 Control Unit
The desoldering iron gun is controlled automatically by the micro-processor. The
digital control electronics and high-quality sensor and heat exchange system
guarantee precise temperature control at the desoldering tip. The highest degree of
temperature precision and optimal dynamic thermal behavior under load conditions is
obtained by the quick and accurate recording of the measured values in a closed
control circuit, and this design is especially for the lead-free desoldering.
1.2 Desoldering gun (ZD-552A)
ZD-552A desoldering gun with a power of 80W(heat up rating 200W) and its spare
tips(N5 series) can be used anywhere in the electronics field.
The high power and gun type design make this desoldering gun suitable for fine
desoldering work. The heating element is made of PTC and the sensor in the
desoldering tip can control the temperature quickly and accurately.

3. Operation
3.1 Place the desoldering gun in the holder separately. Then connect the plug to the
receptacle on the station and turn clockwise to tighten the plug nut. Check that the
power supply is corresponding to the specification on the type plate and the power
switch is at the “OFF” position. Connect the control unit to the power supply and
switch on the power. Then a self-test is carried out in which all display elements are
switched on briefly. The electronic system then switches on automatically to the set
temperature and displays this value.
3.2 The display and temperature setting
The digital display:

①shows the actual temperature of the tip.
②shows the setting temperature. Short press the “UP”/“DOWN” button to adjust the
temperature by ±1℃. Long-press the button to adjust it quickly..
③Press the ℃/℉button to change the temperature unit between ℃and ℉.
④When the actual temperature of the tip is lower than the setting, "HEAT ON" will
display.
⑤When the difference is more than ±10℃between the actual and setting
temperatures, "WAIT" will display. Wait until it has disappeared.
⑥When "ERROR" displays, there may be some problem with the system. Or the
soldering iron/hot air gun is not correctly connected.
4. Caution!
4.1 The power cord can only be inserted in approved power sockets or adapters.
4.2 High Temperature
The temperature of the desoldering tip will reach as high as around 480℃（896℉）
when the power switch is on. Since mishandling may lead to burns and fire, be sure to
comply with the following precautions:
Do not touch metallic parts near the desoldering tip.
Do not use this appliance near the flammable appliances.
Advise other people in the work area that the appliance can reach a very high
temperature and should be considered potentially dangerous.
Turn off the power switch while taking breaks and when finishing using.
Before replacing parts or storing the appliance, turn off the power and let it cool
down to the room temperature.
4.3 take care of your appliance
Do not use the appliance for any applications other than desoldering.
Do not hit the desoldering gun against the work bench or otherwise subject it to
severe shocks.
Please turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting the desoldering gun.
4.4 Maintenance
Before further use, safety devices or slightly damaged parts must be carefully
checked for error-free and intended operation. Inspect moving parts for error-free
operation and that they don’t bind, or whether any parts are damaged. Damaged
safety devices and parts must be repaired or replaced by a qualified technician, so
long as nothing else is indicated in the operation manual. Use only accessories or
attachments which are listed in the operation manual. Use of other appliances and
other accessories can lead to a danger of injury.
4.5 Keep children at a distance

Do not allow other persons to touch or disturb the desoldering gun or power cord.
Keep other persons away from the work area. Unused desoldering guns should be
stored in a dry location which is out of children's reach. Switch off all unused
desoldering guns.
4.6 Work environment
Do not use the desoldering gun in a moist or wet environment. The desoldering
gun should be placed on the holder after finishing using.
4.7 Observe the valid safety regulations at your work place.
5. Safety Instruction
The manufacturer assumes no liability for uses other than those described in the
operating instructions or for unauthorized alterations.
The operating instructions and cautions should be read carefully and kept in an
easily visible location in the vicinity of the control system. Non-observance of the
cautions will result in accidents, injury or risks to health.
