warning
Turn off the power and remove the power cord before maintenance, otherwise electric shock may occur.
Please contact the dealer beyond the above faults.
How to inspection the soldering iron
Check the resistance between the pins of the connecting plug as follows:
| 4~5 ( Heater ) | ≈4Ω |
| 1~2 ( Temperature sensor ) | ≈50Ω |
| 1~6 ( feeding switch ) | ON |
| 3~soldering iron tip( Earthing) | <2Ω |
- The resistance value between the plug pins is different from the resistance value in the table, disassembly the soldering iron to confirm whether the resistance value of the PCB is correct.
- The measured resistance value on PCB is correct, indicate that the soldering iron wire is damaged, refer diagram to check the wire connect situation as below.
- The resistance between the 3 pin of the plug and the soldering iron tip is greater than the table value, wipe the point of junction where oxidized with sandpaper.
