Sleeping
If sleeping and working mode are selected, and the soldering iron is
not used for 20 minutes, the power to the heating element will be
decreased, and the display shows . This state is sleeping
mode. When the station is in sleeping mode, the tip temperature will
decrease to 200℃ (if the set temperature is more than or equal to
200℃) or 50℃ (if the set temperature is less than 200℃) and remain
the temperature until resuming the station.
To resume soldering, there are several ways as follows:
1. Cycle the power switch OFF, then ON.
2. Hit any button.
3. Take up the iron-handpiece.
If the soldering station is not resumed more than 40 minutes after it
comes to sleep, the power supply will be shut off automatically, and
the display window will not show anything.

To Select The Correct Tip For A Solder Application
1. Pick a tip that maximizes contact area between the tip and solder
Joint. Maximizing contact area gives the most efficient heat tran-
sfer, allowing operators to produce high quality solder joints
quickly.
2. Pick a tip that allows good access to the solder joint. Shorter tip
lengths allow more precise control. Longer or angled may be
needed for soldering densely populated boards.
Tip Care and Use
․Tip Temperature
․Cleaning
High soldering temperatures
can degrade the tip.
Use the lowest possible solder-
ing temperature.
The excellent thermal recovery
characteristics ensure efficient
and effective soldering event at
low temperatures.
This also protects the soldered
items from thermal damage.
Clean the tip regularly with a c-
leaning sponge,as oxides and c-
arbides from the solder and flux
can form impurities on the tip.
These impurities can result in
defective joints or reduce the t-
ip's heat conductivity.
When using the soldering iron

․When not in use
․After use
continuously, be sure to loosen
the tip and remove all oxides at
least once a week.
This helps prevent seizure and
reduction of the tip
temperature.
Never leave the soldering iron
Sitting at high temperature for
long periods of time, as the t-
ip's solder plating will become
covered with oxide, which can
greatly reduce the tip's heat
conductivity.
Wipe the tip and coat the tip
with fresh solder.
This helps to prevent tip
oxidation.
Maintenance
Inspect and Clean the
Tip
!
Caution: Never file the tip
to remove oxide
1. Set the temperature to 250℃
2.When the temperature stabi-
lizes, clean the tip with the c-
leaning sponge and check the
condition of the tip.
3. If there is black oxide on the
solder-plated portion of the
tip, apply new solder ( cont-
aining flux ) and wipe the tip
on the cleaning sponge.Repeat
until the oxide is completely
remove. Coat with new solder.

Why A” Detinned” Tip
Fails To Work
A detinned tip is one not wetted
With solder. This exposes the
Plating to oxidation and degrades
the heat transfer efficiency of the
tip . Detinning is caused by :
To Restore A Detinned
Tip
The solder protects the tip
from oxidation and prolongs
the life of the tip.
4. If the tip is deformed or hea-
vily eroded, replace it with a
new one.
a. Failure to keep the tip cover-
ed with fresh solder during
idling periods.
b. High tip temperatures
c. Lack of sufficient flux in so-
ldering operations.
d. Wiping the tip on dirty or dry
sponges and rags.( Always u-
se a clean, wet, industrial gr-
ade, sulfur-free sponge.)
e. Impurities in the solder, iron
plating ,or on the surfaces
to be soldered.
1. Remove the tip from the
solder handle and allow the
tip to cool down.
2. Remove scale and oxides fr-
om the tinned area of the tip
with 80-grit abrasive polyu-
rethane foam stock or a 100
-grit emery cloth.
3. Wrap rosin core solder (0.031
diameter or larger) around the
newly exposed iron surface,
insert the tip into the handle,
and turn on the system.

Extending Tip Life
NOTE: Detinned tips are preve-
ntable with proper daily
care!
1. Tin the tip before and after
each use. This protects the
tip from oxidizing, and prol-
ongs the tip's life.
2. Do the job at the lowest te-
mperature. Lower tempera-
tures decrease tip oxidation
and are easier on the comp-
onents being joined.
3. Use fine point tips only when
necessary. The plating on
fine precision tips is less du-
rable than the plating on blu-
nter tips.
4. Do not use the tip as a prying
tool. Bending the tip can
cause the plating to crack,
shortening tip life.
5. Use the minimum activation
flux necessary to do the job.
Higher activation flux is
more corrosive to the tip
Plating.
6. Extend tip life by switching
the system off when not in
use.
7. Don’t apply pressure to the
tip. More pressure does not
equal more heat. To improve
heat transfer, use solder to
form a thermal bridge

between the tip and the solder
joint.
Calibrating the Iron Temperature
The Soldering Iron should be recalibrated after changing the iron or replacing the
heating element or tip.
Method of recalibrating temperature: Use the thermometer to calibrate.
1. Set the unit’s temperature to a certain value.
2. When the temperature stabilizes, measure the tip’s temperature with
thermometer and write down the reading.
3. Press “ ＊” button not loose and press the “▲”and “ ▼” buttons
simultaneously, the soldering station enters into calibration mode.
4. At the moment, the 100’s digit of LED display temperature is flashing. Press
the “▲” and “▼” buttons to select the value and press the “＊” button to
select the digit. Press “＊” button after inputting the reading. Here, the
calibration operation has been finished.
5. When inputting calibration temperature, if the value of calibration
temperature is error and the station have protection function after input the
calibration temperature and press * button, the 100’s digit of display
temperature will flash.
6. If the temperature still has deflection, you can repeat calibration in
accordance with above steps.
zWe recommend to use the 191/192 thermometer for measuring the tip
temperature.
zIf the unit is locked by password, it will not be able to calibrate and you
must input the right password.
