2. Commissioning
Place the soldering tool in the holder. Insert compressed air hose with 6 mm outer
diameter in the quick action coupling (12). Provide supply of compressed air with 400
kPa (58 psi) dry, oil-free compressed air or nitrogen (N
Warning: When using nitrogen, attention must be paid to satisfactory room
ventilation.
Plug the electrical lead from the soldering tool in the 7 pole socket (7) on the front
panel and lock. Connect the compressed air hose to the compressed air connection
nipple (8). Check that the mains voltage matches that on the rating plate and that the
mains switch (1) is in the off position. If the mains voltage is correct, plug the control
unit into the mains.
Warning: Do not direct hot air soldering tools at people or inflammable objects.
Switch on the unit at the mains switch (1). When the unit is switched on, a self-test
is performed during which all the indicators (2) are illuminated. The temperature set
(required value) and the temperature scale (°C/°F) are then briefly displayed. The
electronics then switch automatically to the display of the actual value. The red dot (5)
on the display (2) illuminates. This dot serves as an optical regulation monitor.
Continuous illumination means that the system is heating up. Flashing indicates that
the operating temperature has been reached.
Setting the temperature
The digital display (2) shows the actual value temperature. By pressing the UP or DOWN
key (3, 4) the digital display (2) switches to the setpoint. The setpoint can be changed
by tapping or by firmly pressing the UP or DOWN button (3, 4) in the desired direction.
Pressing the button will change the setpoint quickly. The digital display (2) returns
automatically to the actual value approximately 2 seconds after releasing the button.
Adjusting the Air Flow Rate
The air flow rate required can be adjusted at the flow control valve (9). Turning the
control valve (9) to the left increases the flow rate. Air is fed to the hot air soldering
tool as long as the finger operated switch is held down.
Standard setback:
Setting back the set temperature to 150°C. The setback time, which follows the
switching of the soldering station to standby mode, is 20 minutes. After three setback
times (60 minutes) the "Auto-off" function is activated. The soldering tool is switched

off (blinking line on the display).

Setting: When switching on, hold the "UP" key (3) until ON or OFF appears in the
display. Repeat this step to change.
3. Equipotential bonding
The various circuit elements of the 3.5 mm jack bush make 4 variations possible:
Hard-grounded:
Equipotential bonding:
(impedance 0 Ohms)
Potential free:
Soft-grounded:
4. Instructions for use
External input unit WCB 1 and WCB 2 (optional)
The following functions are possible when using an external input unit.
b Offset:
b Setback:
No plug (delivery form)
With plug, equalizer at center contact
With plug
With plug and soldered resistance.
Grounding via set resistance value.
The real temperature of the soldering iron can be changed by
± 40°C by input of a temperature offset.
Reduction of the required temperature set to 150°C / 300°F
(standby). The set-back time, the time after which the soldering
station switches into standby mode, can be adjusted from 0-99
minutes. The set-back condition is indicated by a flashing actual
value display. After a period equal to three times the set-back
time, „Auto-Off" is activated. The soldering iron is switched off
(flashing dash on the display). The set-back or auto-off condition
