User groups

Due to differing degrees of risk and potential hazards, several work steps may only be performed by trained experts.

Starting up the device

Caution!
Please adhere to the operating instructions of the connected devices.
Put the tool into operation as described in the chapter „Placing into operation“.

Check to see if the mains voltage matches the ratings on the nameplate.
Make sure the machine is switched off before plugging in.
After switching on the device, the microprocessor carries out a self- test and reads out the values of the parameters stored in the tool.
The set-point temperature and fixed temperatures are stored in the tool. The actual temperature value increases to the set-point temperature (= soldering tool is heated up).

Soldering and disordering

Carry out soldering work as directed in the operating instructions of your connected soldering tool.
Handling the soldering tips

• Coat the selective and tenable soldering tip with solder when heating it up for the first time. This removes oxide coatings which have formed during storage and impurities from the soldering tip.
• Make sure that the soldering tip is well coated with solder during breaks between soldering work and prior to storage of the device.
• Do not use aggressive fluxing agents.
• Always make sure that the soldering tips are fitted properly.
•  Select as low a working temperature as possible.
• Select the largest possible soldering tip shape for the application. Rule of thumb: the soldering tip should be roughly as large as the soldering pad.
• Coat the soldering tip well with solder to ensure that there is efficient heat transfer between the soldering tip and the soldering area.
• Prior to extended breaks between soldering work, switch off the soldering system or use the Weller function to reduce the temperature when the soldering equipment is not in use.
• Coat the tip with solder prior to storage if you do not intend to use the soldering iron for an extended period of time.
• Apply solder directly to the soldering area, not to the soldering tip.
• Change the soldering tips using the designated tool.
• Do not apply mechanical force to the soldering tip.

Notice
The control units have been adapted to hold a medium-sized soldering tip. Discrepancies may occur if the tip is changed or a different shaped tip is used.

Overload cut-out

To avoid overloading the station, power output is automatically reduced in the event of an overload.

Equipotential bonding

Four variants are possible by connecting the 3.5 mm jack socket differently:

Carrying out a firmware update

Notice
The station must not be switched off while the firmware update is running.

Switch off station 1.
2. Insert the memory stick into the USB port.
Switch on station 3.
The firmware update is performed automatically.
If you have a more already installed more recent firmware on your station, this will not be changed.

Care and maintenance

	Warning! Before doing any work on the machine, pull the plug out of the socket.
	Warning! Use original replacement parts only.
	Warning! Risk of burns „ Only replace solder tips when cold „ Replace and clean suction nozzles only when hot and using the suitable tool „ Only replace hot air nozzles using the suitable tool „ Only clean or replace solder collection tubes when cold

Clean the operator panel, if dirty, using a suitable cleaning cloth.
Filter change
Check the filter regularly for contamination, and replace it if necessary.
Warning!
Failure to use a filter will cause irreparable damage to the vacuum pump.
„ Check before starting soldering whether a main filter is inserted.
Contaminated filters must be treated as special waste.
Dispose of replaced equipment parts, filters or old devices in accordance with the rules and regulations applicable in your country. Wear suitable protective gear.

Parameter menu

Standby Temp. Menu access ▶ Tool parameters
The soldering tools have a usage detection device (sensor) in the handle which automatically initiates cooling to Standby temperature when the soldering tool is not in use.

Standby time (temperature deactivation)

When the soldering tool is not in use, the temperature is reduced to Standby temperature on expiration of the set Standby time. The display reads „Standby“.
Press control key to exit Standby mode. The sensor integrated tool detects the change in state and deactivates Standby mode as soon as the tool is moved.

AUTO OFF time (automatic switch-off time)

When the soldering tool is not in use, the soldering tool heater is switched off when the AUTO OFF time expires.
Temperature deactivation is performed independently of the set standby function. The actual temperature is indicated and serves as a residual heat display. The display reads „AUTO OFF“.

Sensitivity

Max. hot air duration WXHAP

The on-time of the hot air flow of the WXHAP can be limited in increments of 1 to between 0 and 300 sec. The factory default is 0 s („OFF“), i.e. air flows only as long as the button on the hot air tool or the optional footswitch is pressed.

Offset (Temperature-Offset)

The actual soldering-tip temperature can be adapted by entering a temperature offset around ± 40 °C (± 72 °F).

Perform. Mode
The function determines the heating characteristics of the soldering tool to achieve the set tool temperature.

Button lock WXHAP
This function can be used to adjust the factory button presets of the WXAHP tool.

Process window

The temperature range set in the process window determines the signal response of the floating switching output.
Notice
On tools with an LED ring light (e.g. WXDP 120), the process window defines the illumination characteristics of the LED ring light.
If the LED is continuously illuminated, this means that the preselected temperature has been reached or that the temperature is within the predetermined process window.
A flashing LED indicates that the system is heated or that the temperature is outside the process window.

Language

Temperature version °C/°F (temperature units)

Password (lock function)

After switching the lock function on, only the fixed temperature keys can be operated on the soldering station.
All other settings are disabled until the repair station is unlocked again.

Single-channel display

To obtain more straightforward readings, the display mode from can switched from 3-channel display to 1-channel display.
If single-channel display is selected, the device does not reset automatically to 3-channel display after setting the temperature of a tool channel. The display mode can be reset using ┌ 2 ┐.

Vacuum pre-feed
In order to prevent the pump from starting prematurely or to ensure a defined soldering-joint preheating time, it is possible to set an ON delay.

Vacuum run-on

Pressure gauge threshold

This function can be used to define the maintenance interval of the disordering tool. This is done by setting the value in mbar at which the electric pressure gauge issues a warning signal when the intake system is contaminated (LED of  the vacuum pump switches from green to red). The set value is dependent on the suction nozzles used.
Adjustable -400 mbar to -800 mbar factory setting -600 mbar

1. The system (tips and filter) must be free.
2. Select the menu item „Pressure gauge threshold“ in the menu.
3. Set the „Pressure gauge threshold“ pressure value with the UP or DOWN button. The status LED switches back and forth between red and green. Use the UP button to increase vacuum by 50 to 80 mbar, then pinch the vacuum tube  and check whether the LED switches from green to red.
