OPERATINGGUIDELINES
● The soldering iron display A2 will turn to “##” or “0##” ,
indicatingitisnowondigitalcalibrationmode.
● Turn the soldering iron adjustment knob to set calibration to “
00”.Thisresetsthecalibrationtozero.
● letsystemsavethecalibrationvalueintothememory.
3. Setsolderingirontodesiredworkingtemperature.
4. Wait a few minutes for the temperature to stabilize before
checking the temperature difference with an external calibrated
probe.
5. If external calibrated probe shows a higher number than the
968A+ soldering iron displayed actual temperature we input a
positive calibration number. If external calibratedprobe shows a
lower number than the displayed 968A+ soldering iron actual
temperatureweinputanegativecalibrationnumber.
