side of the control unit
14. Cleaning sponge
15. Holder for additional tips.
The soldering Station EC 2002 is best suited for soldering electrically or thermally
sensitive electronic components. A large variety of soldering tools can be connected
via the 6 channel connection socket. The available soldering tools are given in the
accessories list. All soldering tools are electrically isolated from mains and operate
with a protective low voltage of 24V AC.
Analogue temperature regulation is carried out using a potentiometer which can be
used to set the temperature continuously in the range of 50°C to 450°C. The set and
actual temperatures are displayed digitally. The digital temperature display can be
switched between the set and actual temperature using a slide switch. An LED illuminates
in the display to indicate the status of the temperature regulation.
The mains fuse is easy to change. It can be removed by lightly pushing in the fuse
holder and turning it to the left. Potential equalisation of the soldering tip can be achieved
using the corresponding connection socket on the front side of the unit. Through the
antistatic design of the control unit and iron, the Soldering Station fulfils all requirements
of the EGB safety regulations.
The Soldering Station EC 2002 is also available in encoder versions and can be converted
to a COD (encoder) version with a conversion kit.
The soldering iron LR 21* comes standard with a temperature resistant silicon cord
and a "WELLER Longlife" soldering tip type ET-B. The lifetime of the "WELLER Longlife"

soldering tip is lengthened substantially by the electroplated finish on the copper core.

There are 22 different soldering tip forms to choose from. You can choose the optimal
tip from one of these.

2. Commissioning
Fasten the holder spring with funnel to the foot plate of the soldering iron holder (see
exploded view) and soak the cleaning sponge with water (14). Place the soldering iron
into the safety holder (13). Insert the soldering iron plug (12) into the 6-channel
connection socket of the control unit and lock it. Connect the control unit to mains. Be
sure to check for the correct voltage. Set the switch for SET/ACTUAL temperature (7)
to "SET". Switch on the unit at the mains switch (10) and set the desired temperature
using the potentiometer (1). With COD versions, use the corresponding encoder plug
to set the temperature. A red LED (6) illuminates to the right next to the numbers. This
LED indicates the status of the temperature regulation. Continuous illumination": indicates
that the actual temperature lies below the set temperature. The system is heating.
"Blinking" indicates that the actual temperature corresponds to the set temperature.
The system is in regulation range. "Indicator does not illuminate" indicates that the
actual temperature lies above the set temperature (overshoot). Set the SET/ACTUAL
temperature switch (7) to "ACTUAL". The digital display (6) indicates the actual
temperature of the soldering tip. Temperature fluctuations (overshoot when heating or
temperature decrease when soldering) are also readable. When using a tip for the first
time, once the tip has heated up, tin the end of the soldering tip with solder. This
removes any layers of oxidation and contaminants from the soldering tip.
