(2) When the temperature is stable, clean the tip with the cleaning sponge,
check the condition of the tip.
(3) Coat the tip with solder if there is black oxide around it, then clean it with
sponge. Repeat until the black oxide is completely removed. Then coat the
tip with solder again. This will protect the tip from oxidation and prolong
lifetime of it.
(4) If the tip is deformed or heavily eroded, replace it with a new one.
2. Why a “de-tinned” tip fails to work?
A de-tinned tip is one which cannot wet with solder. This exposes the plating to
oxidation and degrades the heat transfer efficiency of the tip.
The de-tinning is caused by:
(1) Failure to keep the tip covered with fresh solder while not in use.
(2) High tip temperatures.
(3) Insufficient melting in soldering operations.
(4) Wiping the tip on dirty or dry sponges and rags. (Always use a clean,
wet, industrial grade, sulfur-free sponge.)
(5) Impurities in the solder, iron plating, or on the surfaces to be soldered.
3. To restore a de-tinned tip
(1) Remove the tip form the solder handle and allow the tip to cool down.
(2) Remove scale and oxides from the timed area of the tip with 80-grit
abrasive polyurethane foam stock or a 100-grit emery cloth.
(3) Wrap rosin core solder (φ0.8mm diameter or larger) around the newly
exposed iron surface, insert the tip into the handle, and turn on the
power switch.
NOTE:
The de-tinned tips are preventable by proper daily care!
4. Extending tip life
(1) Coat the soldering tip with solder before and after using each time. This
can prevent the tip from being oxidized and prolong the lifetime of it.
Ⅲ. Characteristics
1. With temperature compensation function and the temperature is
precise.
2. Display the temperature with the LCD by microcomputer. Quick heating and
thermal recovery. Especially it is suitable to the lead free soldering.
3. There are three favorite temperatures. During the work, the temperature can be
set, saved or select.
4. Plug in-out type iron tip and heating element, and replacing is convenient.
5. Digital calibration and operate is convenient and easy. Lock the calibration
and the parameter setting with the password.
6. Soldering iron handle is portable and comfortable to use.
7. The appearance is novel and the frame is solid.
Ⅳ. Connection & Operation the Soldering Iron
4.1 Iron Holder
1. On the iron handle holder, it can place the soldering iron handle, clean sponge,
metal sponge and replacing tips. Place them as the following picture.
Put the metal sponge
Put the clean sponge
Put the iron handle
Put the replacing tips
Be used to pull out the tip
enclosure
2. The clean sponge and metal sponge both are used for cleaning the tip and
prolonging the life of the tip.
