Starting Up The Device - Weller WX 1 Manual De Uso

For your safety

Starting up the device

Note
Please adhere to the operating
instructions of the connected
devices.
Soldering and desoldering
Note
The control units have been
adapted to hold a medium-
sized soldering tip. Discrepan-
cies may occur if the tip is
changed or a different shaped
tip is used.
WX 2, WXD 2: Overload cut-out (255 W)
If two tools are simultaneously connected to WX 2 / WXD 2 and together have a power demand of greater
than 255 W, an overload cut-out will occur.
Only one tool/channel can be used at a time.

Check to see if the mains voltage matches the ratings on the name-
plate.
Make sure the machine is switched off before plugging in.
After switching on the device, the microprocessor carries out a self-
test and reads out the values of the parameters stored in the tool.
The set-point temperature and fixed temperatures are stored in the
tool. The actual temperature value increases to the set-point tempe-
rature (= soldering tool is heated up).
Carry out soldering work as directed in the operating instructions of
your connected soldering tool.
Handling soldering tips
Coat the tin-plated soldering tip with solder when heating the iron for
„
the first time as this will remove any oxide films or impurities from the
soldering tip that have accumulated during storage.
During pauses between soldering and before storing the soldering
„
iron, ensure that the soldering tip is well-coated.
Do not use aggressive fluxing agents.
„
Always make sure that the soldering tip is seated correctly.
„
Select the lowest possible working temperature.
„
Select the largest possible soldering tip shape for the application:
„
approx. as large as the soldering pad.
Coat the soldering tip well to ensure efficient heat transfer between
„
the soldering tip and soldering point.
Switch off the system if you do not intend to use the soldering iron
„
for lengthy periods or activate the Weller temperature reduction
function.
Wet the tip with solder if you do not intend to use the soldering iron
„
for a lengthy period of time.
Apply the solder directly at the soldering point, not on the soldering
„
tip.
Change the soldering tip using an appropriate tool.
„
Do not subject the soldering tip to physical force.
