1. Description
1.1 Control unit
The soldering station WSD 151 was specially developed for soldering tasks with an
extremely high heat requirement. The 150 W heater power combined with the optimal
transfer of heat to the soldering iron bit guarantees the high performance capability of
the WSP 150 soldering iron. As an alternative to the WSP 150, all the soldering tools
listed in the list of accessories can be connected to the unit. A microprocessor makes
operation simple and comfortable. The digital electronic control system guarantees the
best possible control performance for various soldering tools. The soldering tools
themselves are recognized automatically by the soldering station and assigned the
corresponding control parameters. The high-powered 24 V heating elements make
excellent dynamic performance possible, so that the soldering tools can be used
universally.
Various equipotential bonding possibilities for the soldering iron tip, zero power switch
and antistatic design of control unit and iron complete the high quality standard. The
possibility of connecting an external input unit further increases the variety of functions
of this soldering station. With the optional input units WCB 1 and WCB 2 it is possible
to implement time functions, locking functions, etc. Integrated temperature gauge and
PC interface are included in the extended scope of the input unit WCB 2.
The temperature for the WSP 150 soldering iron can be set over the range from 50°C
- 550°C via 2 buttons (Up/Down). The adjustment range is automatically limited to
450°C if a different soldering tool is connected. The setpoint and actual value are
displayed digitally. A blinking red LED in the display signals that the preset temperature
has been reached – this serves as a optical regulator. Constant illumination means that
the system is overheating.
1.2 Soldering irons
LR 21:
Our "standard" soldering iron. With a power of 50 watts and a wide
spectrum of soldering tips (ET series) this soldering iron can be
used anywhere in the electronics sector.
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 different tips.
WSP 80:
The soldering iron WSP 80 is characterized by its capacity for
reaching the 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.
GB
Work can be continued immediately after switching soldering tips,
since the temperature is reached again quickly.
WSP 150:
Special 150 W soldering iron for soldering tasks with an extremely
high heat requirement. Easy to use shape combined with high
performance capability. Fast warm-up time and precise temperature
regulation characterise the soldering irons in this power range.
See "Accessories" for additional tools.

2. Starting
Assemble soldering iron rest (see exploded drawing).Place the soldering iron in the
safety rest. Insert the soldering iron plug into the connection bush (6) of the control
unit and lock by turning to the right. Check that the power supply corresponds to the
specifications on the name plate and that the power switch (1) is in the OFF position.
On version that can be switched, set the voltage on the selection switch (set in the
factory to 240 V). On version that can be switched, set the voltage on switch (10) and
insert the appropriate fuse (9). Connect the control unit to the power supply. Switch
on the unit at the power switch (1). When switching on the unit, a self-test is carried
out in which all display elements (2) are switched on briefly. The electronic system
then switches automatically to the set temperature and displays this value. Constant
illumination means that the system is overheating. The blinking light signals that the
operating temperature has been reached.Setting the temperature
