7. Operation Temperature
The most common soldering alloys used in the electronics industry consist of 60 % tin and 40 % lead.
The operating temperature of this type of solder is detailed below and can vary from manufacturer to
manufacturer. However, to meet RoHS requirements, these solders are no longer allowed and are
replaced by lead-free solders that require a working temperature which is ± 30° C (54° F) higher.

Normal Operation
Production Line Operation
A good joint is assured if the iron's operating temperature is set within the parameters suitable for the
type of solder being used. The solder will flow too slowly if the temperature is too low; if the temperature
is too high, the flux in the solder may burn which will give rise to billowing white smoke. In turn, this will
result in a dry joint or in permanent damage to the PCB.
8. Operation
8.1

Basic Operation

1. Make sure the unit's power switch is in the "OFF"-position.
2. Plug in the soldering iron. Note that the connector has a notch so it only fits in one way. Do not
force.
3. Connect the AC power cord to the power connector. Connect the other end to a suitable mains
outlet.
4. When applicable, connect an earth wrist strap to the earth jack at the back of the station.
8.2

Parameter Setting

1. Switch on the station.
2. Press the SET-button and hold for at least 5 seconds until the display shows "— — —" (flashing).Use
the ▲-button to enter the mode lock password "010" (default) and press the set-button to go into
setup menu. A wrong password will return to normal working mode (temperature indication).
3. In the setup menu, the display will show "F-0". Press the ▲- or ▼-button to select modes. If no
button is pressed within 15 seconds, the device will return to normal operation mode.
