perfect operation of the device.

1. Caution!

Please read these Operating Instructions and the attached
Safety Information carefully prior to initial operation. Failure
to observe the safety regulations results in a risk to life and
limb.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for damage resulting
from misuse of the machine or unauthorised alterations.
The Weller hot air station WAD 101 corresponds to the EC
Declaration of Conformity in accordance with the basic safe-
ty requirements of Directives 89/336/EEC and 73/23EEC.

2. Description

2.1 Control Unit

The WAD 101 is a hot air station that features a wide variety
of functions. As a result of the use of a microprocessor, the
unit is straightforward and easy to use. The digital control
electronics ensure optimal regulation behaviour with different
soldering tools. The soldering tools themselves are detected
automatically and assigned the appropriate control parame-
ters. Excellent dynamic behaviour is made possible by the
particularly powerful 24 W heater elements. The soldering
tool is thus of universal application.
The required temperature can be set via 2 buttons
(Up/Down). Temperatures from 50°C - 550°C (122°F -
999°F) are realisable with hot air soldering tools. When a sol-
dering iron is connected, the adjustment range is automati-
cally limited to max. 450°C (842°F). Required and actual
values are displayed digitally. A flashing red LED indicates
when the selected temperature is reached, this LED serves
as an optical regulator monitor. The continuous illumination
of the LED indicates that the system is warming up.
The air flow is controlled via a finger operated switch integra-
ted in the handle. The flow rate can be adjusted continuous-
ly over the range from approx. 0-10 l/min via a control valve.
The hot air output is free of static charge.
Various methods of equipotentially bonding the soldering iron
bit, a zero voltage switch, and the anti-static design of the
control unit and soldering tools supple ment the high stan-
dard of the unit. The possibility of connecting an external
input unit extends the functional diversity of this
hot air station. Additional functions including timing and
interlocking can be realised using the WCB 1 and WCB 2
17
Input Units, available as optional extras. The extended featu-
res of the WCB 2 Input Unit include an integrated temperatu-
re measurement unit.
2.2 Soldering irons
HAP 1:
100 W hot air soldering tool with integrated finger switch.
Suitable for soldering and desoldering surface mounted com-
ponents. A wide range of nozzles makes the tool of universal
application.
WMP:
The Weller Micro Soldering Iron WMP is suitable for proces-
sing SMD electronics due to its manageable design. The
short distance between grip and soldering tip makes ergono-
mic handling of the 65 W soldering iron possible when carry-
ing out very fine soldering tasks.
MPR 80:
The Weller Peritronic MPR 80 soldering iron has an adjusta-
ble workingangle of 40° to enable an individually ergonomic
soldering process. The 80-watt power and slim design
makes this soldering iron suitable for fine soldering work.
WTA 50:
The unsoldering tweezers WTA 50 were specially designed
for unsolderingSMD components. Two heating elements (2 x
25 watts), each with its own temperature sensor, ensure con-
stant temperatures at both ends.
LR 82:
High-performance 80 watt soldering iron for soldering work
with high heat requirements. The soldering tip is attached by
a bayonet catch to ensure correct position when using diffe-
rent tips.
WSP 80:
The soldering iron WSP 80 is characterized by its capacity for
reachingthe soldering temperature quickly and precisely. Its
slim design and heating power of 80 watts makes universal
usage possible - from extremely fine to high-temperature
soldering work. Work can be continued immediately after
switching soldering tips, since the temperature is reached
again quickly.
