Connection and operation1. Loosen the tip setscrew, insert the soldering tip and tighten

the screw;2. Connect the ground wire to the setscrew;3. Connect the power supply to the soldering station and switch

it on.Note

If the screen displays „sen-err when it’s plugged, it means that the soldering tip is not properly fixed. Please fix it correctly.

Heating up

When pressing the button A in standby mode, the Soldering Sta-tion will heat up to the preset tem-perature.

When OLED displays as picture, it means that the Soldering Sta-tion is ready for soldering.

In operation mode, holding both buttons for 3 seconds will return to standby mode.

Temperature adjustment

In standby mode, press the button A will enter preset tempera-ture.

Temperature down: In temperature adjusting mode, hold the button A for at least 2 seconds, until in the display appears the desired temperature.

Release the button A when the expected temperature appears in the display and the Soldering Station will automatically adjust to it.

Temperature up: In temperature adjusting mode, hold the but-ton B for at least 2 seconds, in the display appears the desired temperature.

Release the button B when the expected temperature appears in the display and the Soldering Station will automatically adjust to it.

Note: When screen displays arrow pointing to left or right (t or u) which means the adjustment has already reached its upper/lower limit temperature, settings will not be saved when power is off.

If the temperature is stable for 60 seconds, the Soldering Sta-tion automatically moves to the Feedback mode. The tempera-ture status is checked each 5-8 seconds.

On the right part of the display will appear the following mes-sage:

Arrows up --> heating

Arrows down --> cooling

If you do not use the Soldering Station for more than 3 minutes (standard setting) while it is in use mode, then the sleep mode will be active. Temperature is automatically set to the preset sleep temperature.

As soon as the Soldering Station is used again, it will change automatically to the use mode. Temperature will automatically heat up to preset temperature (300°C in default settings).

If the Soldering Station is not used while in sleep mode for longer than the IDLE_TIME setting, then it will change to the standby mode.

Note: IDLE_TIME can be set in the config.txt file with a PC.

Soldering iron tip maintenance• Before switching off, wipe the tip’s soldering side with some

solder.• Do not leave the tip in high temperature for long time, which

may cause it to burn out.• Do not push too hard while soldering. That could damage

the soldering tip.• Do not use rough material or files to clean the tip.• If the soldering tip is oxidized, it will stick no tin. You can use

sand-paper (600 ~ 800 grain) to clean the tip with Ethanol or Isopropyl alcohol. Heat the tip up to 200°C and use imme-diately some tin to avoid oxidation.

• Do not use Flux that contains high chlorine or acid, use only resin based flux.

Changing default settingsConnect the Soldering Station to the PC using the USB cable, in the OLED will appear "CONFIG" and you will be in the setting mode. Open the config.txt file from the USB drive, set the default parameters.

Firmware updateVisit www.graupner.de and download the latest Soldering Station firmware to your PC.Connect the Soldering Station to your PC with the USB data cable, meanwhile, press the button A on the Soldering Station to enter the DFU mode. If "DFUxxx" appears in the display, then you will be able to see a virtual disk with an eight-character serial number in your PC.Copy the hex firmware to the root directory of that disk. When the extension of the firmware changes from “hex” to “rdy”, dis-connect USB and the firmware is upgraded.

Changing boot-up screenCreate your own 96x16 pixel image in .bmp as monochromatic Bitmap, copy this file in the USB drive of the Soldering Station, change the name to "LOGOIN";Note: When the “LOGOIN.BMP” exists in the USB drive, the boot up logo will use this file. If the file doesn’t exist, the default logo will be used instead.

Trouble shootingProblem Recommended possible solution

No display Check: Is the cable broken?Check: Is there any data in USB mode?

Every time when installing a new tip, the tempera-ture status displays random numbers

The device checks the status, it is normal

The Soldering Station restarts automatically

Check 1: Is the power source properly plugged?Check 2: Is the voltage too low?(it has to be set up in the config file)

Soldering tip is heating up and cooling down simultaneously

Check 1:Is the tip being used for the first time?Check 2: Is the power cord in loose or defective contact?Check 3: Is the tip overheating?Set the temperature in appropriate levelCheck 4: Is the soldering tip clean?Read the section "soldering iron tip maintenance"

OLED shows “Warning!” Check 1: Is the tip overheating?Is temperature higher than the maximum operation tempera-tureWhen temperature is again lower than maximum operation temperature, the warning message will disappear and it will return to operation mode

OLED displays”High-Vt” Check: Is the voltage too high? (over 24V)

OLED displays “Sen-err” Check 1: Is the tip properly installed? If yes, then replace the soldering tip

The soldering tip does not stick any solder

The soldering side of the tip is not applied with solder properlyLack of flux during operationTip touched materials like plastic, silicone oil or other chemi-calsUsing impure solder or solder that contains low proportion of tin

The Soldering Station returns to standby mode during operation

Check: Is the voltage lower than minimum (10V)Make sure that the voltage is always over 10 V.
