When using SSI-065,
-Turn the power off (unplug) when not in use, or left unattended.
-When power is ON, be very careful to avoid touching the hot soldering tip.
-Please do not operate SSI-065 when it's wet or operate it with wet hands as
this can create a possibility of an electric shock.
When using SSI-065,
-Please avoid dropping the unit as this can cause damage to the tip port.
-After continuous extended use, the handle surface temperature can get warm
(122°F to 140°F (50°C to 60°C)).
-When using the SSI-065 for the first time, it may generate some light smoke due
to the intitial heating of heating elements, this is a normal.

3.Power Source Selection
For best performance, we recommend using a fully charge 6S Li-Po battery pack (sold separately). A 6S
Li-Po will provide the best heating performance to work on large size (12AWG or larger) cables.
SSI-065 will also work with AC/DC power adapter from a 3rd party. Before connecting it to a power
adapter, please check if the adapter is capable to supply enough wattage, and be sure to use correct
power cable (sold separately) with correct power setup on the SSI-065. We recommend using at least
19V AC/DC adapter.
4. Operation
4.1 SSI-065 Installation
1. Loosen the tip setscrew, insert the soldering tip connector and tighten the screw.
2. Connect the ground wire to the ground wire setscrew.
3. Connect the DC connector to SSI-065, connect the power cord and turn on the power
accordingly.
Note: If the screen displays "sen-err" when the tip was installed,
that means the soldering iron tip is not properly installed, please re-install it properly.
4.2Basic Control

4.2.2Sfety First
Safety is always number one on the list when you use the SSI-065. Please ensure
that you set the correct input power voltage before you start using the iron.
Please refer to section 4.3 System Parameters/ Default Setting to set the input
power.
The SSI-065 features a secondary protection in the parameter Off Voltage
(OffVolt), that has a default setting of 10V. It is your responsibility to make sure
this setting is set to a correct value before you start using the iron. We suggest to
set the Off Voltage at 3.2V per cell count. For example, if you use a 6S battery
pack, we'd suggest to set the Off Voltage at 19.2V.

In standby mode, press Button A to enter
preset temperature
In temperature adjusting mode, press Button Bto
increase the temperature.
In temperature adjusting mode, press Button $
to ORZHU the temperature.

5. Soldering Iron Tip
5.1 Changing Soldering Tips
1.Unplug SSI-065 before changing. Make sure the
tip is cold to avoid burns.
2.Loosen the tip set screw.
3.Pull out the tip,replace with another one.
4.Tighten the screw.
Note : When SSI-065 displays "sen-err", it means the soldering iron tip is not installed properly.
5.2 Choosing Soldering Iron Tips
The SSI-065 comes with TS-D24 soldering iron tip as standard. You can use different optional
tips for your hobby projects (sold separately).
SSI-D24 SSI-K SSI-BC2 SSI-B2
5.3 Soldering Iron Tip Maintenance
(1) Before switching off, tin the tip's soldering side with some solder and wipe off any excess.
(2) Do not leave the tip in high temperature for long time, which may cause permanent damage.
(3) Do not apply too much force while soldering. It can damage the tip.
(4) Do not use a rough or abrasive material to clean the tip.
(5) If the tip surface is oxidized and makes it hard to apply solder on it, you may use 600-800 grit
sandpaper or wipe the tip with Ethanol or Isotropy alcohol, heat up to 400°F (200°C) and
apply solder immediately to avoid oxidation again.
(6) Do not use Flux that contains high chlorine or acid, use only resin based flux.
5.4 Soldering Iron Tip Lifespan
A soldering iron tips lifespan is related to its maintenance and usage. Once used, it is not
covered by the factory limited warranty.
