1. Introducon
This quick guide is intended to provide you with quick reference opons when working
with i-CON 1V / 1VC. The i-CON 1VC soldering staon model is oponally available with
a serial PC interface. Control signals for acvang the Easy Arm 1 and Easy Arm 2 solder
fume extractors or the IRHP 100A heang plate are also available at this interface. A
ready signal and a standby signal can be output.
This quick guide does not replace the operang instrucons!
You should, therefore, read the instrucon manual before operang the
equipment for the rst me. Pay special aenon to the safety alerts
listed there!
Keep all instrucons in a place that can be accessed by all users at any
me!
The accompanying informaon paper “Safety Alerts” is also part of the
safety instrucons to be adhered to.
Info ESD-hazardous components!
Electronic components can be damaged by electrostac discharge. Abide
by the warnings on the packaging, or contact the manufacturer or suppli-
er. To protect these components, an ESD-safe workplace (ESD = electro-
stac discharge) will be suitable.
1.1 Explanaonofsymbols

This symbol is used to highlight text passages that contain explanaons,
info or ps.
■This mark highlights
• acvies to be carried out, or
• instrucons to be strictly abided by.

2. Start-up
2.1 Unpackingthesolderingstaon
Please use your delivery note to check the contents of the packaging for completeness. If
the components listed therein are damaged or incomplete, please contact your supplier.
2.2 Mounngthesolderingstaon
■Mount the soldering staon in a dry place on a heat-resistant, at
surface
■Place the holder next to the soldering staon on the heat-resistant
surface.
■Place the dry cleaner in the holder.
■Before switch-on, check whether the line voltage matches the value
specied on the nameplate.
■Make sure the soldering p is properly seated.
■To switch o the soldering staon, use the on/o switch.
■ Connect the soldering tool to the staon. In doing
so, align the an-twist protecon of the plug with the
mark on the boom socket.
Insert the plug into the socket and then lock it clock-
wise with the coupling nut.
■Place the soldering tool in the holder
■Connect the supply cable to the soldering staon and
the power point.
■If the soldering staon is equipped with an addional
interface on the back of the device, connect it there:
Ersa solder fume extractor and preheang plate
IRHP 100.
■Place the soldering station and the relevant holder on a heat-
resistant, conductive ESD work surface with a connected earthing
plug, as described under ESD-hazardous components. Tipping over
must be ruled out for any equipment at all events.
Place boards on an ESD work surface only.

Functional description
3. Funconaldescripon
3.1 Switch-onandoperaon
Aenon! Burning hazard!
The connected soldering tools are heated immediately
aer switch-on!
Aenon! Flammable substances!
Risk of re from highly ammable substances! Before
switching on the soldering staon, remove all highly com-
busble objects, liquids and gases from the work area
Make sure that the soldering iron is placed in the holder.
The soldering staon is turned on/o with the on/o switch
on the front a.
The soldering staon is operated through a rotary encod-
er b with a push buon funcon (press funcon), the
i-OP. The i-OP enables the desired funcons to be selected
or the values to be changed. Turn clockwise for higher
values and counterclockwise for lower ones. Turn slowly
to edit values in steps of one. Turn quickly to edit the
selected values in steps of 10/50/100 (depending on the
parameter).
The i-OP has a push buon funcon as well. The selected
parameters and values are conrmed through this push
buon (press) funcon, thereby becoming eecve for
the staon. All seng steps and measured values are
shown in plain text in a clear display window, the “dis-
play”.

3.2 Languageselecon
To select your naonal language, proceed as follows:
■switch o the soldering staon
■press and hold the i-OP
■switch back on the soldering staon
■hold the i-OP unl you hear a beep, then let go.
■Select the [Change] item by turning the i-OP.
■Select the [Language] menu item.
■Press the i-OP.
■Select the required naonal language by turning the
i - O P.
■Press the i-OP.
■Select the [** END **] menu item, then press the i-OP.
The naonal language has been changed.
3.3 Selecngasolderingtool
■Select the desired soldering tool by pressing the i-OP.
Pressing the i-OP repeatedly will enable the soldering
tool connected to the le or to the right.
3.4 Sengthetemperature
■To set the desired soldering p temperature, turn the i-OP.
■Press the i-OP to apply the seng.

4. Operaonmodes
4.1 Working mode
Aer switching on the staon, the switch-on dialog ap-
pears for approx. 2 seconds. This shows the staon name
① and soware version ② of the i-CON 1V. The staon
will then automacally switch to working mode.
4.2 Parameter mode
The parameter mode for the soldering tool is acvated by
pressing and holding the i-OP for approx. 2 seconds.
4.3 Conguraonmode
You can access the conguraon mode by pressing and
holding the i-OP for 5 seconds when switching on the
i-CON 1V.
By turning the i-OP and pressing it accordingly, the staon can be congured or rewrien
with the factory sengs.

4.4 Contrast
To adjust the contrast on the display to the single working
environments, proceed as follows:
■Switch on the staon and immediately turn the i-OP.
This will enable the contrast mode:
The buzzer signals with a beep sound that the contrast mode is acve.
■Set the desired contrast by turning the i-OP.
■Conrm your entry by pressing the i-OP.
5. Edingparameters
To edit the value of a parameter, proceed as follows:
■Activate the soldering tool whose parameters are to
be edited by pressing the i-OP.
■Press the i-OP and hold it for approx. 2 seconds.
■Select the desired parameter by turning the i-OP.
■Activate the cursor by pressing the i-OP; pressing it
again will switch the cursor back off.
When the cursor is acvated, the value of the parameter can be changed accordingly by
turning the i-OP.

6. Troubleshoong
6.1 General errors
If the soldering staon is not working as expected, please check the following points:
• Is line voltage available? Properly connect the power cord to the
equipment and the power point.
• Is the fuse defecve? The fuse is located on the back of the equip-
ment in the mains connecon socket.
• Please observe that a defecve fuse may also indicate a deeper
cause of failure. Simply changing the fuse is, therefore, generally not
sucient.
• Is the soldering tool properly connected to the supply unit?
6.2 Error messages
The i-CON 1V carries out fault diagnoses independently.
The result of a diagnosis is output as an error code: In this
case, the triangular pictogram ①appears in the display
of the soldering staon. The error code ②is shown as a
number between 2 and 99.
An info note ❸ is also displayed in the boom line. For error codes, please refer to the
error code table in the operang instrucons. Error messages must be acknowledged
through the i-OP. The connected soldering tool will be heated again only aer the error
has been acknowledged and eliminated.
