Thermal Housing
1. Turn on power and set Temperature Con-
trol Knob to 400°F.
2. Using a clean and well tinned Tip, apply
a small amount of solder on the Tip, just
enough to form a bead on top of the Tip.
3. Place the center of the thermocouple wire
of the SDS100 on top of the bead.
4. Again, apply a small amount of solder on
the center of the thermo-couple wire, just
enough to embed the center.
5. Adjust LO-Temp. Calibration Pot so the
Meter will read 400°F.
6. Set Temperature Control Knob to 800°F.
7. Adjust Hi-Temp. Calibration Pot so the
Meter will read 800°F.
AIR MOVEMENT WILL AFFECT THE TEMPERATURE
READING. WORK IN AN AREA WHERE THIS IS MINIMAL.
