ASE-1115 Soldering Station

ASE-1115 Soldering Station is designed for lead free soldering especially.

Heating up from the room temperature to 350°C in 30 seconds.

This device is used in the fields of electronic research, teaching and production, especially in the repairing and soldering on the electronic appliances and communication equipment.

The soldering iron tool is controlled automatically by the micro-processor. The digital control electronics and high-quality sensor and heat exchange system guarantee precise temperature control at the soldering tip. The highest degree of temperature precision and optimal dynamic thermal behavior under load conditions is obtained by the quick and accurate recording of the measured values in a closed control circuit, and this design is especially for the lead-free production technics.

Safety instructions

Take care of yourself!

1. Please read user manual carefully before using the instrument.
2. Do not use the device if there is visible damage.
3. Repair and maintenance of the device can be done only by a qualified specialist of the service center.
4. Before connecting the instrument to the electrical network, observe all known precautions, and make sure that the grounding system is to avoid electric shock.
5. Use only those accessories that are intended for use with this device.
6. While working, do not touch the metal parts near the tip of the soldering iron.
7. After completion of the work, it is necessary to install the soldering gun in the regular holder of the soldering gun.

ASE-1115 Soldering Station Operating Instruction

Place the soldering iron in the holder separately. Then connect the plug to the receptacle on the station and turn clockwise to tighten the plug nut. Check that the power supply is corresponding to the specification on the type of plate and the power switch is on the “OFF” position. Connect the control unit to the power supply and switch on the power. Then a self-test is carried out in which all display elements are switched on briefly. The electronic system then switches on automatically to the set temperature and displays this value.

The display and temperature setting

The digital display:

① Shows the actual temperature of the soldering tip.

② Shows the setting temperature. Pressing the “UP” or “DOWN” button can switch the digital display to the set point display. The set-point can be changed for ±1°C by tapping the “UP” or “DOWN” button. Pressing the button will change the set-point quickly. The digital display will return automatically to the actual value and the iron will reach to the setting temperature quickly. Can control the temperature through 200°C, 300°C, 400°C button. There is °C °F convert button.

③ °C/°F display: Switching the temperature display from °C to °F by pressing the “°C/°F” button and then the electronic system will display the actual temperature ① and setting temperature ② in °F, and vice versa.

④ When the actual temperature on the soldering tip is less than the set-point, “HEAT ON” will display and make the soldering tip heating up.

⑤ When the absolute offset is more than ±10°C between the actual temperature and the set-point on the soldering tip or the nozzle, “WAIT” will display. It means that the temperature electronic control system is not in the stable situation, we should wait a moment to let the “WAIT” disappear.

⑥ When “ERROR” display, there may be a trouble on the system, or the soldering iron is not connected to the control system correctly.

Suspend Mode

The soldering station integrates automatic suspend function. The station will go into suspend status if the soldering iron is not operated in 15 minutes. The temperature of the soldering tip will cool down to 200°C and keep it during the suspend mode until the station is restarted. And the station will be back to the previous working condition after restarted. You can use the below methods to restart the soldering station:

• Power off the power switch, then power on it again.
• Push any key (If you do not pick up the soldering iron in two minutes after pushing any key, the station will go into suspend status again).
• Pick up the soldering iron.

Safety Instruction

• The manufacturer assumes no liability for uses other than those described in the operating instructions or for unauthorized alterations.
• The operating instructions and cautions should be read carefully and kept in an easily visible location in the vicinity of the control system. Non-observance of the cautions will result in accidents, injury, or risks to health.

How much power does the soldering iron have?
Soldering iron with a power of 60W (Heat up rating 130W) and a wide spectrum of soldering tips (T series) can be used anywhere in the electronics field. Up

How to use a soldering iron?

The soldering iron is controlled automatically by the micro-processor. The digital control electronics and high quality sensor and heat exchange system guarantee precise temperature control at the soldering tip. The highest degree of temperature precision and optimal dynamic thermal behavior under load conditions is obtained by the quick and accurate recording of the measured values in a closed control circuit, and this design is especially for the lead-free production technics. Up

How to care and use of the soldering tip?

High soldering temperatures can degrade the tip. Use the lowest possible soldering temperature. The excellent thermal recovery characteristics ensure efficient and effective soldering event at low temperatures. This also protects the sensitive components from thermal damage. Clean the tip regularly with a cleaning sponge, as oxides and carbides from the solder and flux can form impurities on the tip. These impurities can result in defective joints or reduce the tip's heat conductivity. When using the soldering iron continuously, be sure to loosen the tip and remove all oxides least once a week. This helps to prevent reduction of the tip temperature. Never leave the soldering iron sitting at high temperature for long periods of time, as the tip's solder plating will be covered with oxide, which can greatly reduce the tip's heat conductivity. Wipe the tip and coat it with fresh solder after use. This helps to prevent tip oxidation. Up

How to clean the tip?

Caution! Never file the tip to remove oxide. Set the temperature to 250°C. When the temperature stabilizes, clean the tip with the cleaning sponge and check the condition of the tip. If there is black oxide on the solder-plated portion of the tip, apply new solder (containing flux) and wipe the tip on the cleaning sponge. Repeat until the oxide is completely removed. Coat with new solder. The solder protects the tip from oxidation and prolongs the life of the tip. If the tip is deformed or heavily eroded, replace it with a new one. Up

What temperature should use for soldering?
600°- 650°F (316°- 343°C) is a good place to start for lead-based solder and 650°- 700°F (343°- 371°C) for lead-free solder. Note: if clots form, the temperature is too low. Up

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.
