BASETech ZD-99 User Manual

Operation
• Unpack the soldering station and check all parts for damages. Damaged parts may not be put into
operation.
• Put the holding rack for the soldering iron sideways in the soldering station. Wet the cleaning sponge in
the sponge rack with water.
• Put the soldering iron in the holding rack.
• Place the soldering station on a solid and hard wearing surface.
• Connect the mains plug to a socket and turn on the soldering station by using the power switch (I = ON
/ 0 = OFF). When turned on, the power switch is lit.
Always put the soldering iron on the holding rack when it is heating up or during breaks
from soldering.
Make sure the contacts for soldering on the work piece are clean.
Only use solder for electronics. Acidic solder can damage the soldering tip or the work
piece.
• Regulate the desired temperature of the soldering iron with the adjusting knob. The colour-coded areas
are equal to following temperatures:
- Yellow approx. 150 °C
- Orange approx. >210° to 370 °C
- Red approx. >370° to 520 °C
 Forleadsolderchoosethestartoftherstredsegment(approx.270-360°C),forsilversolder
use the beginning of the second red segment (approx. 320 - 420°C).
For larger soldering tip adjust the temperature upwards to perform the soldering as fast as pos-
sible and as long as necessary.
 Lowerthetemperatureduringbreaks.Thissaves energyand extendsthe durabili-ty ofthe
soldering tip.
• Wait about 2-3 minutes until the soldering tip reaches the adjusted temperature. Test the tem- perature
by touching the soldering tip with solder. If the solder melts away easily you can start soldering.
• Tinthehotsolderingtipwithsolder.Wipeoffexcessivesolderonthewetcleaningsponge.
• Heat up the soldering location with the soldering tip and add solder.
• Let the soldering point cool down.
• Clean the soldering tip after each soldering procedure on the wet sponge.
• Afternishingthesoldering,putbackthesolderingironintherackandturnoffthesolderingstationat
the main switch.
Do not le off the soldering tip. Thus it will be damaged.
Never touch the hot soldering tip. Very hot! Danger of burns! Let the soldering iron cool
down after use.
The soldering iron may not be dunked into water.
During breaks, the soldering iron has to be placed in the holding rack.
Soldering tip change
Turn off the soldering station and let the soldering iron cool down completely.
Loosethemetalnutonthetipofthesolderingiron.Takethenutoffandpulloutthesolderingtip.Toremove
anydirtparticlesbycarefullyknockingoutthecoverofthesolderingirononarub-bermat.
Insert a new soldering tip and screw the nut back in place by hand.

Operating Instructions
Analogue Soldering Station ZD-99, 58 W
Item No. 588415
Intended Use
Theanaloguesolderingstationprovidesanadjustablemaximumtemperatureforsoldering.Allsoldering
workforelectronicorelectricalpurposesusingdifferentkindsofsoftsolder(leadorsil-versolder)canbe
performed due to the adjustable working temperature. The soldering tip can be replaced.
The soldering station meets protection class 1 (with earth conductor) and should only be con- nected to and
usedwithamainsshockproofsocketwithavoltageof220-240V~/50Hz.
Solderingontensionedcircuitsetcisnotallowed.Donotuseinadverseambientconditions.
Adverseambientconditionsare:
• Wetorexcessiveairhumidity,
• dustorcombustiblegases,vapoursorsolvents,
• strongvibrations.
Anyuseotherthandescribedaboveisnotallowedandmaycausedamagetotheproduct.Furthermorethere
aredangerssuchasre,shortcircuit,electricshocketc.
