1. Description
1.1 Control unit
The soldering stations WS 81 and WS 51 are a part of the range of products which
were developed for industrial manufacturing as well as for the repair and laboratory
sector. The analog electronic control system guarantees the best possible control
performance for various soldering tools. The high-powered 24 V heating elements
make excellent dynamic performance possible, so that the soldering tools can be
used universally.
Various equipotential bonding possibilities for the soldering iron tip, zero power
switch and antistatic design of control unit and iron complete the high quality
standard. The desired temperature can be set by a rotary potentiometer in an
infinitely variable range between 150°C - 450°C.
The set temperature can be locked by the key switch (4) integrated in the front plate.
Temperature settings cannot be changed when the unit is locked. A blinking red LED
in the display signals that the preset temperature has been reached – this serves as a
optical regulator. Constant illumination means that the system is overheating. (WS
81 only)
1.2 Soldering irons
LR 21:
Our "standard" soldering iron. With a power of 50 watts and a wide
spectrum of soldering tips (ET series) this soldering iron can be used
anywhere in the electronics sector.
MLR 21:
With its 25-watt power and slim design, this micro-soldering iron is
especially well-suited for fine soldering work with a low heating
requirement.
MPR 80:
The Weller Peritronic MPR 80 soldering iron has an adjustable working
angle of 40° to enable an individually ergonomic soldering process.
The 80-watt power and slim design makes this soldering iron suitable
for fine soldering work. (cannot be used with WS 51)
WTA 50:
The unsoldering tweezers WTA 50 were specially designed for
unsoldering SMD components. Two heating elements (2 x 25 watts),
each with its own temperature sensor, ensure constant temperatures
at both ends.
LR 82:
High-performance 80 watt soldering iron for soldering work with high
heat requirements. The soldering tip is attached by a bayonet catch to
ensure correct position when using different tips (cannot be used with
WS 51).

WSP 80:
The soldering iron WSP 80 is characterized by its capacity for reaching
GB
the soldering temperature quickly and precisely. Its slim design and
heating power of 80 watts makes universal usage possible - from
extremely fine to high-temperature soldering work. Work can be
continued immediately after switching soldering tips, since the
temperature is reached again quickly (cannot be used with WS 51).
See "Accessories" for additional tools.

2. Starting
Assemble soldering iron rest (see exploded drawing).Place the soldering iron in the
safety rest. Insert the soldering iron plug into the connection bush (6) of the control
unit and lock by turning to the right. Check that the power supply corresponds to the
specifications on the name plate and that the power switch (1) is in the OFF position.
On version that can be switched, set the voltage on selection switch (9) (set in the
factory to 240 V ). Connect the control unit to the power supply. Set the temperature
at the rotary potentiometer (3). Switch on unit at the supply switch (1). Green LED
(2) will illuminate. This LED functions as the optical regulator. Constant illumination
means that the system is overheating. The blinking light signals that the operating
temperature has been reached.
Setting the temperature
The digital display (2) shows the actual value temperature. By pressing the UP or
DOWN key (3, 4) the digital display (2) switches to the setpoint. The setpoint can be
