KEY FE TURES
◆ HEATER/SENSOR FAILED DETECTION: If sensor circuit failed that the
display read “S--E” and cut off the heater power If heater circuit failed the display
read “H--E” and cut off the heater power
◆ TEMPERATUE “LOCK-OUT” FEATURE: The temperature can be locked by
“password” code that is convenient for production line management
◆ HIGH POWER ,GREAT RECOVERY: With the 90W high power, great thermal
recovery improves the soldering environment, It can shorten the soldering

working time, which minimize concern about the influence of heat on components
and tip life
◆ ENERGY SAVER: If the station is set to the auto sleep function setting mode ,
after the station has been idle for more than 20 minutes, this new feature will
automatically knick in the energy saver feature has engaged, decreases tip
temperature and extends tip life
◆ ISOLATED IRON HOLDER WITH TIP CLEANER: Made of low abrasive
brass shavings instead of conventional sponges to meet RoHS requirement cleans
better and no water is necessary
◆ LOW VOLTAGE OUTPUT WITH SAFETY OPERATION: The power unit is
isolated from the A C line by a transformer and allows 36Vac to drive the heating
element Solder wand runs from 36 Volts for safety and with 90W high power
PTC heater for a super-fast heat-up and quick temperature recovery The solder
wand is attached with heat resistant, non-burning, flexible 6-wire cord
◆ ESD SAFE AND SPIKE FREE CIRCUITRY: The “Zero Voltage” electronic
switching design also protects voltage and current sensitive components (CMOS
devices, etc ) against damaging current and transient voltage spikes commonly
produced by less efficient, mechanically switched stations
◆ DETACHABLE AC POWER CORD WITH PLUG: Engineered AC outlet for
alternating AC power cord with plug and connector specially designed for
individual CE countries requirements
◆ EARTH JACK: With a grounding connector, there is the possibility for a
grounding of the wire strap if required
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
LF-3000 electronically high frequency soldering station with specially
intelligent chip microcomputer control designs was developed to meet the present and
future Lead-free soldering needs of the electronic production industry and suitable for
work on professional SMD electronics An ergonomic handle with shorter distance
between heating element and tip gets very fast heat up time and quick heat
compensation A high-quality sensor and heat transfer technology ensure precise
temperature regulation is essential for making consistent, reliable soldered
connections The aluminum housing has the advantages of strong structure, good heat
sink and effectively resistant of electro-magnetic interference It provides all the
benefits of temperature regulation and connects via a highly flexible burn-resistant
lead, and can be easily adjusted in temperature

The LF-3000 incorporates electronic circuitry which enables the user to alter tip
temperature from 100 to520℃without changing tips or heating elements Also, with
digital display readout and pressing keys on the front panel get clear vision and
comfortable setting The temperature is maintained within +/-3℃ of its operating
temperature by a thermocouple sensor placed in the head of the heating element,
allowing the tip to rest against the sensor The 90W power results in both a rapid
heat-up and super fast recovery
The revolutionary “Zero Voltage” electronic switching design also protects voltage
and current sensitive components (CMOS devices etc ) against damaging current and
transient voltage spikes commonly produced by less efficient, mechanically switched
stations The power unit is isolated from the A C line by a transformer and allows
only 36Vac to drive the heating element The temperature “Lock-out” feature by
“password” is convenient for production management The many features of the
product make it the ideal tool for service and repair technicians as well as production
line soldering operations This unit is developed to meet the present and future
lead-free soldering needs of the electronic production industry and is ideal for use at
any AC outlet
