Maintenance
The interface between the heating element / sensor and the tip of the soldering iron
should not be exposed to dirt, foreign materials or physically damaged, since this af-
fects the precision of the temperature control.
4. Instructions for use
During the initial heating of the iron, pre-tin the wettable surface of the tip with sol-
der. This removes any oxidation or contamination from the working area of the tip,
which may have occurred during storage or shipment. Always keep the tip tinned
and wipe the tip clean before using. Once the tip has been cleaned on a damp sol-
dering tool sponge, re-tin the tip with a light, fresh coating of solder. This will help
to transfer the heat from the tip to the work. Do not use aggressive fluxing agents.
To do so will greatly affect the working life of the tip.
Do not file or mechanically abrade the soldering iron tip. This will damage the iron
plating of the tip and cause the tip to be rendered useless, much quicker than with
normal cleaning practices.
WMP / WSP80 Soldering Iron Selection
The WSD161 / WSL2 series of soldering stations are designed to allow either the
WMP or WSP80 iron to be used without any required changes to be made to the sta-
tions. This is due to the high precision RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) Sen-
®
sor used in the Weller family of electronic soldering stations.
Using the WCB1 Calibrator with the WSD81 / WSL2 Soldering Systems
The following functions are possible when using the WCB1 Calibrator:
Offset Mode: The actual tip temperature of the soldering iron can be changed by
±72°F (+/-40°C) by use of the temperature "Offset" feature on the
WCB1 Calibrator.
Setback Mode: A reduction of the set point temperature to 300°F (150°C) ("Set
back" mode). The setback time can be controlled from 0-99 min
utes after the soldering station has switched to standby mode. Af
ter a period equal to three times the setback time, the "Auto Off"
function is activated. Power to the soldering iron and station are
switched "OFF" (indicated by a flashing segment on the display).
Lockout Mode: Locking the set point temperature. Settings cannot be changed af
ter the soldering station has been "Locked".
°F/°C Mode: Switching the temperature display from °F to °C, and
vice versa.
Window Mode: Limitation of the temperature range to a maximum of +/-210°F
(±99°C) based on a locked temperature resulting from the "Lock
out" function. The locked temperature represents the median point
of the adjustable temperature range.
This allows the station to be adjusted within a range of tempera
tures that are considered allowable for certain similar applications
(i.e. 700°F Median Temperature +/- 50°F window, allows the sta
tion to be adjusted between the range/window of 650°F to 750°F).
Cal Mode: This function allows the soldering station to be Reset to "factory
default settings".
