Starting up the device
Caution!
Please adhere to the operating instructions of
the connected devices.
Put the tool into operation as described in the
chapter „Placing into operation“.
Check to see if the mains voltage mat-
ches the ratings on the nameplate.
Make sure the machine is switched off before
plugging in.
After switching on the device, the microprocessor
carries out a self- test and reads out the values of
the parameters stored in the tool.
The set-point temperature and xed temperatures
are stored in the tool. The actual temperature
value increases to the set-point temperature (=
soldering tool is heated up).
Soldering and desoldering
Carry out soldering work as directed in the opera-
ting instructions of your connected soldering tool.
Handling the soldering tips
Coat the selective and tinnable soldering tip with
solder when heating it up for the rst time. This
removes oxide coatings which have formed
during storage and impurities from the soldering
tip.
Make sure that the soldering tip is well coated
with solder during breaks between soldering work
and prior to storage of the device.
Do not use aggressive uxing agents.
Always make sure that the soldering tips are
tted properly.
Select as low a working temperature as possible.
Select the largest possible soldering tip shape for
the application.
Rule of thumb: the soldering tip should be roughly
as large as the soldering pad.
Coat the soldering tip well with solder to ensure
that there is efcient heat transfer between the
soldering tip and the soldering area.
Prior to extended breaks between soldering work,
switch off the soldering system or use the Weller
function to reduce the temperature when the
soldering equipment is not in use.
Coat the tip with solder prior to storage if you do
not intend to use the soldering iron for an
extended period of time.
Apply solder directly to the soldering area, not to
the soldering tip.
Change the soldering tips using the designated
tool.
Do not apply mechanical force to the soldering
tip.
Notice
The control units have been adapted to hold a
medium-sized soldering tip. Discrepancies may
occur if the tip is changed or a different shaped
tip is used.
Overload cut-out
To avoid overloading the station, power output is
automatically reduced in the event of an overload.
For your safety

c
d
Four variants are possible by connecting the 3.5 mm jack socket
differently:
a Hard-grounded supplied without plug.
b Equipotential
bonding
with plug, equaliser at centre contact.
c Floating with plug
d Soft-grounded with plug and soldered resistor. Ground-
ed through selected resistor.
Carrying out a rmware update
Notice
The station must not be switched off while the
rmware update is running.
Switch off station 1.
2. Insert the memory stick into the USB port.
Switch on station 3.
The rmware update is performed automatically.
If you have a more already installed more recent
rmware on your station, this will not be changed.
Care and maintenance
Warning!
Before doing any work on the machi-
ne, pull the plug out of the socket.
Warning!
Use original replacement parts only.
Warning! Risk of burns
Only replace solder tips when cold
Replace and clean suction nozzles
only when hot and using the suitable
tool
Only replace hot air nozzles using
the suitable tool
Only clean or replace solder
collection tubes when cold
Clean the operator panel, if dirty, using a suitable
cleaning cloth.
Filter change
Check the lter regularly for contamination, and
replace it if necessary.
Warning!
Failure to use a lter will cause irreparable dama-
ge to the vacuum pump.
Check before starting soldering whether a main
lter is inserted.
Contaminated lters must be treated as special
waste.
Dispose of replaced equipment parts, lters
or old devices in accordance with the rules
and regulations applicable in your country.
Wear suitable protective gear.

(sensor) in the handle which automatically initiates
cooling to Standby temperature when the solde-
ring tool is not in use.
Standby time (temperature deactivation) Menu access Tool parameters
When the soldering tool is not in use, the tem-
perature is reduced to Standby temperature on
expiration of the set Standby time. The display
reads „Standby“.
Press control key to exit Standby mode. The
sensor integrated tool detects the change in state
and deactivates Standby mode as soon as the tool
is moved.
Option Description
OFF standby time is deactivated (factory
setting)
1-999 min standby time, individually adjustable
--- The tool is not supported
AUTO OFF time (automatic switch-off time) Menu access Tool parameters
When the soldering tool is not in use, the soldering
tool heater is switched off when the AUTO OFF
time expires.
Temperature deactivation is performed indepen-
dently of the set standby function. The actual
temperature is indicated and serves as a residual
heat display. The display reads „AUTO OFF“.
Option Description
OFF AUTO OFF function is deactivated
(factory setting)
1-999 min AUTO-OFF time, can be set indivi-
dually.

Max. hot air duration WXHAP Menu access Tool parameters
The on-time of the hot air ow of the WXHAP can
be limited in increments of 1 to between 0 and 300
sec. The factory default is 0 s („OFF“), i.e. air ows
only as long as the button on the hot air tool or the
optional footswitch is pressed.
Option Description
OFF No duration dened

Process window Menu access Tool parameters
The temperature range set in the process window
determines the signal response of the oating
switching output.
Notice
On tools with an LED ring light (e.g. WXDP 120),
the process window denes the illumination
characteristics of the LED ring light.
If the LED is continuously illuminated, this means
that the preselected temperature has been
reached or that the temperature is within the
predetermined process window.
A ashing LED indicates that the system is
heated or that the temperature is outside the
process window.
