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 tempe-
ratures 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.
GB
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 explo-
ded 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 tem-
perature 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.
