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.

Prestarting procedure ASE-3101

Soldering iron connection

1. Connect the soldering iron to the socket on the body of the station. There to connect the slots of the soldering iron socket with the socket pins on the body of the station.
2. After that firmly tighten the fastening screw on the soldering iron socket by turning it clockwise.

Desoldering iron connection

1. Connect the desoldering iron to the socket on the body of the station. There to connect the slots of the desoldering iron socket with the socket pins on the body of the station.
2. After that firmly tighten the fastening screw on the desoldering iron socket by turning it clockwise.
3. Stretch the air duct of the desoldering iron on the air duct fitting of the desoldering channel compressor.

Soldering Channel

1. Switch on a soldering channel (1).
2. Then move the selector "Temperature" (2) in position "Set" and set required temperature with the help of rotary knob (3).
3. The settable temperature will be shown on a display (4).
4. If you raise the temperature, the temperature pilot light "Pilot" (5) flashes red.
5. If you reduce the temperature, the temperature pilot light "Pilot" (5) flashes green.
6. After setting required temperature, move the selector (2) in position “Read” in order the required temperature to be fixed and maintained.
7. In the process the current temperature of the soldering tip appears on a display and starts gradually changing until reaches the set point of temperature.
8. On reaching the set point of temperature the temperature pilot light "Pilot" (5) starts flashing red and green by turns, and the value of temperature is fixed on a display.
9. With the help of adjusting screw "Cal" (6) you can execute calibration of temperature of soldering channel.

For calibration of soldering channel the following tools are used:

1. Calibrated thermometer with adjusted thermocouple.
2. Ceramic screwdriver.

Operational procedure:

1. Fix the selector "Temp"(2) in position "Set".
2. Fix the rotary knob regulating temperature (3) on the value 315°C (599°F).
3. Move the selector "Temp" in position "Read".
4. Wait until the soldering station warms-up (2-3 minutes). In the process the values 315°C (599°F) appear on a digital display (4) of the soldering station and the temperature pilot light "Pilot" (5) starts flashing red and green by turns.
5. Take the solder droplet on the tip of soldering iron.
6. Fix the soldering iron vertically on the cross of thermocouple of calibrated thermometer. Clamping force should be produced by the sole weight of the soldering iron. It is expressly prohibited to apply additional force in order to avoid mechanical damage (break) of thermocouple.
7. On setting values take the measured value of temperature from the digital display of calibrated thermometer.
8. In case of departure of temperature from the value 315°C (599°F) over 5°C (41°F) it has to execute calibration procedure of soldering channel.
9. Steplessly turn adjusting screw "Cal" (5) on the faceplate of the station by a ceramic screwdriver until the values on a digital display reach 315 ± 2°C (599±35°F). It is to bear on mind that after turning the adjusting screw, temperature of soldering tip changes slowly. That is why this operation has to be performed deliberately. Be attentive and control changes of temperature on the digital display of thermometer.
   Even if it seems that values of temperature are fixed, it has to wait for 20-30 seconds in order to be assured that the temperature is definitely fixed.

Desoldering Channel

1. Switch on a desoldering channel (7). Then move the selector "Temp" (8) in position "Set" and set the required temperature with the help of rotary knob (9).
2. The settable temperature will be shown on a display (10).
3. If you raise the temperature, the temperature pilot light "Pilot"(11) flashes red. If you reduce the temperature, the temperature pilot light "Pilot" (11) flashes green.
4. On setting the required temperature, move the selector (6) in position "Read" in order the required temperature to be fixed and maintained.
5. In the process the current temperature of the desoldering tip appears on a display and starts gradually changing until reaches the set point of temperature.
6. On reaching the set point of temperature the temperature pilot light "Pilot" (11) starts flashing red and green by turns, and the value of set point of temperature is fixed on a display.
7. If powered desoldering iron is not in use for a long period of time (over 5 minutes) the indicator "Pause" (13) flashes in green. After pressing the trigger of desoldering iron the compressor of desoldering channel starts working and the indicator "Pause" (13) goes out.
8. With the help of adjusting screw "Cal" (12) you can execute calibration of temperature of desoldering channel.

For calibration of desoldering channel the following tools are used:

1. Calibrated thermometer with the adjusted thermocouple.
2. Ceramic screwdriver.

Operational procedure:

1. Fix the selector "Temp"(6) in position "Set".
2. Fix the rotary knob regulating temperature (7) on the value 315°C (599°F).
3. Move the selector "Temp" (6) in position "Read".
4. Wait until the desoldering station warms-up (3-5 minutes). In the process the values 315°C (599°F) appear on a digital display (8) of the desoldering station and the temperature pilot light "Pilot" (5) starts flashing red and green by turns.
5. Fix the desoldering iron vertically on the cross of thermocouple of calibrated thermometer. Clamping force should be produced by the sole weight of the desoldering iron. It is expressly prohibited to apply additional force in order to avoid mechanical damage (break) of thermocouple.
