10. ERROR MESSAGES
● Sensor Error When there is the possibility that a failure has
occurred in the sensor or heater (including
the sensor circuit), is displayed and the
power is shut down.
NOTE:
The sensor error also occurs if the tip is not inserted
properly.
●
Low-temperature alarm
tolerance error
If the sensor temperature falls below the
difference between the current temperature
setting and the low-temperature alarm
tolerance, is displayed and the warning
buzzer sounds. When the tip temperature rises
to a value within the set tolerance, the buzzer
will stop sounding.
14
EXAMPLE:
Assume that the temperature setting is 400°C/750°F and
the tolerance 50°C/100°F. If the temperature continues to
decrease and finally falls below the value indicated below
while the heating element is on, the displayed value
starts blinking to indicate that the tip temperature has
dropped.
● Heater terminal short circuit
error
will flash, and the buzzer will sound
continuously, when the tip is inserted wrong
way round, an incompatible tip is inserted,
or a foreign object has found its way into the
connector.
EXAMPLE:
will flash, and the buzzer will sound three
times, if the process gate cannot read the Tip
ID.
will be displayed if Tip ID has not been
entered.
will be displayed if the connector cord
is not attached to the station OR the wrong
soldering iron is connected.

How to read out the bar code of
the tip into the MODEL FM-202:
1. Insert the tip (connector side) into the
process gate in the front of the station.
2. Insert the tip until the buzzer sound
once. The display shows . The LED
indicator will stop flashing. Now the tip
identification number has been stored.
NOTE:
When the buzzer sounds three times is reading error, insert
the tip again.
CAUTION:
Do not insert the tip opposite side or other incompatible tip.
CAUTION:
Do not damage or remove the bar code sticker of the
Tip ID number .
Soldering tips have different thermal chara-
cteristics, depending upon their mass, shape,
and surface area. It should be obvious that the
tip temperature at idle will not be the same for a
fine tip as it will be for a heavy chisel tip, although
the set temperature may be the same for each
tip. The MODEL FM-202 processor incorporates
the ability to electronically compensate for tip
geometry variations using Tip IDs. Each MODEL
FM-202 tip shape has a specific Tip ID; whenever
a tip is changed, the Tip ID should be entered into
the MODEL FM-202 for most effective process
control.
There are two ways to enter Tip ID data into the
MODEL FM-202:
See below or page 6 of this manual. This proce-
dure is the simplest and most common.
See Appendix A of this manual, when the Tip ID is
not readable for some reason.

CAUTION:
When tip is inserting the MODEL FM-2021, the process
gate cannot read the bar code. If a tip insert into the process
gate while the tip is already in the MODEL FM-2021, buzzer
will sound irregularity. Remove the tip from the MODEL
FM-2021 for reading the Tip ID.
