QUICK 969D+ Lead-Free Soldering Station

The QUICK 969D+ is a lead-free soldering station designed for ease of use and efficient operation. Its simple and compact shape makes it convenient for various soldering tasks. This instruction manual provides comprehensive guidance on its installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Function Description

The primary function of the QUICK 969D+ soldering station is to provide a controlled heat source for soldering applications, specifically designed for lead-free soldering. It achieves this by rapidly heating and recovering temperature, ensuring efficient and reliable solder joints. The station features an LCD display for clear temperature indication and allows for flexible and convenient temperature adjustment and calibration through its button interface.

Usage Features

Temperature Control and Adjustment: The soldering station offers precise temperature control. In the main menu, you can increase or decrease the temperature by 1°C with a single press of the respective buttons. Holding the buttons down allows for continuous temperature adjustment. The station also features three pre-set temperature points that can be customized. To set a temperature point, navigate to the temperature point window, press the "" button to cycle through the three points, adjust the temperature using the up/down buttons, and then long-press the "" key to save the setting. The display will show "SAVE" to confirm.

Password Protection: For enhanced security and to prevent unauthorized temperature changes, the soldering station includes a password setting feature. When the password lock is active, temperature settings cannot be modified, but you can still freely select between the three pre-set temperature points. To enter the password setting mode, turn off the power, then simultaneously hold down the "up" and "down" buttons while turning the power back on. Continue holding until the display shows a specific pattern, indicating entry into the parameter input mode.

Password Setting Procedure: Once in the parameter input mode, press the "" button. The window will display "---", and the 100's digit will flash, allowing you to input the initial password. Use the "up" or "down" buttons to select the desired digit, then press "" to move to the next digit (tens, then ones). The input method is consistent across all digits. If the password is entered incorrectly the first time, the interface will reset, displaying "---" again for re-entry. If the password is wrong a second time, the display will show "Err", and the station will return to its normal working state without entering parameter settings. A correct password grants access to the parameter settings.

New Password Setting: Within the parameter menu, select "02" and press "" to enter the new password setting interface. The window will display "--", and the hundred digit will blink. Use the "up" or "down" buttons to select the hundreds digit, then press "" to move to the tens digit, and similarly for the ones digit. After selecting the ones digit, press "*" to enter the second password. The process for setting the second password is identical to the first. If the two passwords do not match, the station will return to the working state, and the password setting will not be successful. If the passwords match, the display will show "SAVE", confirming successful password setting, and then return to the parameter menu selection interface.

Installation and Connection: Connecting the soldering station is straightforward. First, connect the 5-pin plug into the station, ensuring the pin aligns with the groove in the connection socket. Place the soldering iron handle in its designated holder. Next, insert the power plug into a grounded power socket. Finally, turn on the power switch to begin operation.

LCD Display Descriptions: The LCD provides clear visual feedback on the station's status. The "heating state" icon indicates when the iron is actively heating. The "buzzer" icon shows whether the audible buzzer is turned on or off. "Real Temp" displays the current temperature of the soldering iron tip, while "Set Temp" shows the desired target temperature.

Maintenance Features

Tip Maintenance: Proper tip maintenance is crucial for extending the life and performance of your soldering iron.

1. Initial Use: When using a new tip for the first time, set the temperature between 250°C and 280°C and apply solder to protect the tip.
2. Tip Selection: Choose the appropriate tip size based on the size of the solder joint you are working on.
3. Preventing Oxidation: To prevent tip oxidation, always plate a fresh layer of solder onto the tip before placing it back into the soldering iron holder.
4. Cleaning Sponge Usage: When cleaning the tip with a sponge, ensure it is not excessively wet. Too much water can cause a rapid temperature drop, while a dry or overly abrasive sponge can damage the tip and lead to poor tinning.
5. Oxidized Tips: If the tip becomes oxidized, do not attempt to grind off the surface plating. Instead, use metal wire or resurrection paste to clean the tip at a low temperature (250°C-280°C).
6. Soldering Technique: Avoid applying heavy force to the tip during soldering and refrain from using tin in the same spot repeatedly.
7. Low-Temperature Soldering: Whenever possible, use lower soldering temperatures, typically between 320°C and 380°C. If higher temperatures are required, verify that the soldering station and tip are compatible for such use.

Soldering Station Heater Replacement: The heater is a replaceable component. The process involves several steps to ensure safe and correct replacement.

1. Removal: First, pull out the soldering tip and unscrew the nipple. Then, pull the heater out from the handle body. Next, pull the wire clamp upward from the plastic part. Unplug the three leads connected to the heater pin. Finally, remove the plastic part, spring, and grounding spring. Important: All removal steps must be performed with the power disconnected and the handle cooled to prevent injury.
2. Replacement: To replace the heater, plug the three wires into the heater pins. Install the spring and the grounding spring, then snap the wire clamp into the plastic part. Insert the heater into the handle body. Screw on the nipple and install the soldering tip. Finally, place the tip enclosure and nut onto the nipple and screw them tightly.
3. Post-Replacement Check: After replacing the heater, it is recommended to measure the resistance of the heater between pin 1 and pin 5, which should be 10Ω (±10%).
4. Temperature Calibration: Following a heater replacement, it is crucial to calibrate the temperature.

Temperature Calibration: Temperature calibration is necessary whenever the handle, heating element, or soldering tip is replaced.

1. Preparation: Set the station temperature to 300°C. Once the temperature stabilizes, measure the actual tip temperature using a thermometer and record the value.
2. Entering Calibration Mode: Simultaneously press the "up" and "down" buttons, then press the "*" button until the display shows "CAL", indicating entry into the calibration temperature mode.
3. Inputting Measured Value: Use the "up" or "down" buttons to select the numerical value that matches the reading from your temperature tester. After inputting the value, press the "*" key to save. This completes the iron temperature calibration.
4. Calibration Result: If the calibration is successful, the window will display "SAVE", and the station will return to the working interface. If calibration fails, "Err" will be displayed, and the working screen will be shown. Note: If there is a discrepancy between the thermometer reading and the soldering station's display, repeat the calibration steps. It is recommended to use a QUICK 191/192 series temperature tester for accurate tip temperature measurement.

Fault Descriptions: The station provides error codes to help diagnose issues:

• S-E (Sensor Error): This indicates a fault with the sensor or other parts of the sensor circuit. When "S-E" is displayed, the current to the soldering iron is cut off.
• H-E (Heater Error): This signifies that the soldering station cannot deliver power to the soldering iron heater, suggesting that the heater is damaged.
