TRIAC AT
Hot-air blower
Congratulations on your TRIAC AT purchase.
You have chosen a first-class hot-air blower.
The TRIAC AT was developed and produced in accordance with the latest state-of-the-art technology in the
plastics-processing industry.
You can find more information about the TRIAC AT online at www.leister.com
This hot-air blower is suitable for welding, shrinking and shaping thermoplastics, as well as for heating up and
drying thermoplastics.
We recommend that persons should wear suitable protective clothing (gloves, apron or similar) when using the
device.
Any extension cables must be approved for usage site and be marked
accordingly. Comply with the necessary minimum conductor cross-sec-
tion for extension cables, as required.
When using on-site generators as a power supply, please ensure that the generators are equipped with
residual-current circuit breakers. For the nominal output of the generators, the formula “2 × nominal output of the
hot-air blower” applies.
Any other use of the TRIAC AT or any use beyond the type of use described is deemed improper use.
We recommend that you always keep the instruction manual with the device.
1. Application
The safety instructions for device can be found in the “Safety Instructions – Hand Tools” section in
the document provided. You can also find this document in the operating instructions on our web-
site.

e-Drive lock Lock the controls for protection against unauthorized inputs. 7 [5.2.4]
Eco mode
Eco mode is an automatic reduction in power that can be
activated and configured.
If the device has not been moved during the configured rest period (d),
the output is reduced (temperature will maintain).
Optionally, the device activates the cool down function and switches
into standby mode when the configured idle time (t) in eco mode is
exceeded.

Cool down Cool down procedure with automatic standby mode activates when the
temperature of the device is close to the ambient temperature. 8 [6.1]
Protection against res-
tarting Protection against restarting when power is restored after an interrup- tion.
Supply voltage Displays the actual supply voltage. 7 [5.2.3]

ready to use
A long press on the e-Drive will turn the device on. The device heats up until it reaches the setpoint from the last
time it was used. Once there is no longer a dierence in temperature (flashing arrow), the device is ready to use.

5.1 Connect the device to the power supply (standby)
5.2 Turning the device on (operation)
The nominal voltage specified on the device must match the local supply voltage.
Fire hazard and burn hazard
Do not touch the heating element tube and/or nozzle when they are hot, since they pose potential threat
of injuries. Do not point the hot air flow at people or animals.
Hazardous voltage: Risk of injury or death if the cable or power plug is damaged. Prior to commis-
sioning, check the power supply cord and the power plug together with the extension cable for electrical
and mechanical damage.

The setpoint for the temperature can be set directly by turning the e-Drive. Once there is no longer a
dierence in temperature (flashing arrow), the device is ready to use.
After two short presses on the e-Drive, the actual supply voltage is displayed. After four seconds, the device
automatically exits this display mode.

After a short press on the e-Drive, the air volume display starts to flash. The setpoint for the air volume can
now be changed by turning the e-Drive. If no further input is performed for four seconds, the device automa-
tically exits this input mode.

5.2.3 Checking the supply voltage
In order to prevent changes to the settings by accidentally touching the e-Drive, the e-Drive dial can be
locked. Depress the control knob and turn it at least 90° (at the same time) clockwise and counter-clockwise
to lock or unlock the e-Drive.

A long press on the e-Drive, while the device is in operation, will start the cool down function.
The device turns itself o automatically when the temperature of the device is close to the ambient temperature.
After a short press on the e-Drive while the device is cooling down, the device reverts to operation.
After a very long press on the e-Drive, while the device is cooling down, the device switches into standby
mode (cancels the cool down function). Caution, the device may still be very hot.
ready to use
After a very long press on the e-Drive whilst the device is in operation, the device switches into standby mode (after one
second it starts the cool down function and performs it for two seconds). Caution, the device may still be very hot.
Fire hazard and burn hazard
Do not touch the heating element tube and nozzle when they are hot, since they pose potential threat
of injuries. After use, allow the device to cool down.
