This document describes a soldering station, an electrical tool designed for soft soldering of metal materials using tin-lead and lead-free solders. Its interchangeable tips and temperature adjustment allow for precise soldering of small electrical and electronic components without the risk of overheating. Proper, reliable, and safe operation of the product depends on its correct use.
Irresponsible use of the equipment can cause fire. Exercise caution when using the equipment in areas where combustible materials are present. Do not direct a stream of hot air or the soldering iron tip to the same spot for an extended period. Do not use the equipment in an explosive atmosphere. Be aware that heat may be transferred to combustible materials out of sight. Place the equipment on its stand after use and allow it to cool down before storage. Do not leave the equipment unattended when switched on.
Before starting work, ensure that the housing, power cord, and plug are not damaged. If damage is found, do not proceed with work. This tool must not be used by children, nor should children play with it. Unsupervised children should not perform cleaning or maintenance on the tool. This tool may be used by persons with reduced physical, mental abilities, or lack of experience and knowledge of the tool, only if supervised or instructed on its safe use so that associated risks are understood.
The tool is not designed to operate in high humidity conditions. The operating temperature range is 0°C to +40°C, and relative humidity must be below 70% without condensation. Do not expose the tool to precipitation. Before connecting to the power supply, ensure that the voltage, frequency, and capacity of the mains correspond to the values on the tool's rating plate. The plug must fit the socket. Modifying the plug or socket is forbidden. The tool must be connected directly to a single power supply socket. Extension cords, adapters, or double sockets are forbidden. The supply circuit must be equipped with a 16 A protection. Avoid contact of the power cord with sharp edges, hot objects, and surfaces. During operation, the power cord must always be fully extended and positioned to avoid obstruction or tripping hazards. The mains socket should allow for quick disconnection of the power cord. Always pull the power cord by the plug housing, never by the cord itself. If the power cord or plug is damaged, disconnect it immediately and contact an authorized service center for replacement. Do not use the product with a damaged power cord or plug. Damaged components cannot be repaired and must be replaced with new, defect-free ones.
WARNING! The metal components of the tool can be hot during and immediately after use. Do not touch them, as this may cause severe burns. Allow the tool components to cool down. Use heat-protective gloves if components need to be moved before cooling. Ensure the floor near the work area is not slippery to prevent serious injuries from slipping. Never block or restrict ventilation openings. Do not use the tool in the bathroom or near water. Do not touch the tip as this can cause burns. After use, allow the tool to cool down before storing it. Do not accelerate the self-cooling process of the tool components.
The soldering station is supplied complete but requires assembly before first use. Tip Installation/Replacement: Select a suitable tip and insert it into the soldering iron bore as shown in illustration (II). The tip end should be outside the soldering iron. NOTE! Exercise extreme caution when replacing the tip. The soldering iron tip can be hot during use and immediately after use. Do not touch the tip as this may cause severe burns. It is recommended to wait until the soldering iron tip and components have cooled completely. Do not accelerate the self-cooling process. If tip replacement is necessary before cooling, wear heat-protective gloves and use the supplied protective cap. Allow the tip to cool completely by placing it in one of the holes on the back of the soldering iron stand.
Fuse Replacement (III): The soldering station power cord must be disconnected. A pull-out cap in the power socket contains the fuse and a spare fuse. To replace the fuse, carefully remove the cap to avoid damaging the power socket. Replace the fuse with one of the specified parameters (refer to the technical data table). Using any other fuse is forbidden. Slide the cap back into place.
Accessory Installation: Connect the soldering iron cord to the port at the back of the soldering station housing (IV). The plug is shaped to connect in only one correct way. Secure the connection by screwing a metal plug ring onto the thread around the port. Place the soldering iron on the stand (V). Connect the power cord to the port at the back of the housing (IV). Position the station on a workbench (e.g., a table) to ensure easy access to controls and an unobstructed display (VI). The soldering iron stand should be placed near the station to allow free access to the soldering iron and prevent accidental contact with the tip during operation, storage, or movement. Due to the high tip temperature, leave at least 10 cm of free space around the stand. The stand should be placed on a heat-resistant surface. A special hole in the base is for brass shavings used to clean the tip. Place the base cavity into the stand housing (VII). The sponge for cleaning the tip during operation should be placed in the base cavity. The sponge must be damp but not wet throughout the work period to prevent tip damage. Only after setting up the station and stand and performing a functional test can the station be connected to the power supply.
Starting and Stopping the Device: Turn the power switch to the "ON" – I position to start the device. The display will light up and show "OFF," indicating the station is powered on and in standby mode. To start the soldering station and activate heating, press and hold the heating button for approximately 1.5 seconds. A single beep signals the start of heating. The station will enter operating mode and begin heating. To turn off heating and enter standby mode, press and hold the heating button for approximately 1.5 seconds. To completely turn off the device, turn the power switch to the "OFF" – O position.
Parameter Setting: Parameters are set using the function buttons. The up arrow button increases the parameter value, and the down arrow button decreases it. A change in parameter value is signaled by an audible beep.
Display (VIII): The following parameters are displayed during soldering station operation:
Sleep Mode Setting: The soldering station has a sleep mode function that activates after a preset time. Changes to the sleep mode duration must be made in standby mode. Turn on the soldering station by turning the power switch to "ON" – I, then simultaneously press and hold the up and down arrow function buttons until the time in seconds is displayed. Use the function buttons to set the duration between 20 and 999 seconds. Once the time setting is complete and the selection button is released, the duration is automatically saved, and the station returns to standby mode. In operating mode, the soldering station will enter sleep mode after the set time only if the soldering iron is not used. Waking up from sleep mode is possible by lifting the soldering iron from its stand or by briefly pressing one of the function buttons. It is also possible to wake up the soldering iron using one of the CH1, CH2, or CH3 programming buttons. In this case, heating to the previously saved temperature under the selected button will begin.
Temperature Setting: To set the tip temperature, turn on the soldering station by turning the power switch to "ON" – I, then press and hold the heating button for approximately 1.5 seconds. The station will enter operating mode, and temperature adjustment will be active. The tip temperature can be set between 90°C and 480°C using the up and down arrow function buttons. The value is automatically saved once the setting is complete.
Temperature Programming: The station can save three different temperature settings. First, set the temperature, then press and hold one of the CH1, CH2, or CH3 temperature programming buttons. The symbol of the selected setting will flash on the display. The value is automatically saved once the setting is complete. The value programmed with the CH1 button is the default temperature. This means that when the station is restarted, the soldering iron tip will heat up to the preset temperature.
Changing Temperature Unit: Changing the temperature units is possible in the soldering station's operating mode by quickly pressing the heating button twice. The °C symbol next to the set temperature indicates Celsius, and the °F symbol indicates Fahrenheit. The value is automatically saved once the setting is complete.
Temperature Calibration: The tip is equipped with a heater whose parameters may change during use. Thanks to calibration, the temperature set on the soldering station will correspond to the actual tip temperature. The temperature should be measured with an external thermometer, such as a thermocouple connected to a multimeter. The displayed value should then be corrected to match the measured value. To enter temperature calibration mode, turn on the soldering station by turning the power switch to "ON" – I, then press and hold the heating button for approximately 1.5 seconds. When the station starts operating and reaches a preset temperature, temperature calibration is possible. Simultaneously press and hold the up and down arrow function buttons; the temperature calibration value in the range of -80°C to +80°C will be displayed. Use the up and down arrow function buttons to select the appropriate value. The value is automatically saved once the setting is complete.
After finishing work, clean the tip with a damp sponge, then place the soldering iron in the holder, turn off the soldering station with the switch, and leave it until all elements have cooled completely. Disconnect the station from the power supply by pulling the power cord plug out of the mains socket. Clean the station housing and soldering iron handle with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water, then dry it. Check the tip condition; if any defects, damage, or changes in shape are found, replace the tip with a new one. The sponge used for cleaning the tip should be cleaned under a stream of lukewarm water. Replace excessively dirty or damaged sponges with new ones. Store the product disconnected from the power supply in places inaccessible to unauthorized persons, especially children. The storage area must be protected from dust, moisture, precipitation, and excessive heat, and provide adequate ventilation to prevent condensation of water vapor.
