When using SSI-065,
- Turn the power off (unplug) when not in use, or left unattended.
- When power is ON, be very careful to avoid touching the hot soldering tip.
- Please do not operate SSI-065 when it's wet or operate it with wet hands as
this can create a possibility of an electric shock.
When using SSI-065,
- Please avoid dropping the unit as this can cause damage to the tip port.
- After continuous extended use, the handle surface temperature can get warm
(122°F to 140°F (50°C to 60°C)).
- When using the SSI-065 for the first time, it may generate some light smoke due
to the intitial heating of heating elements, this is a normal.

3.Power Source Selection
For best performance, we recommend using a fully charge 6S Li-Po battery pack (sold separately). A 6S
Li-Po will provide the best heating performance to work on large size (12AWG or larger) cables.
SSI-065 will also work with AC/DC power adapter from a 3rd party. Before connecting it to a power
adapter, please check if the adapter is capable to supply enough wattage, and be sure to use correct
power cable (sold separately) with correct power setup on the SSI-065. We recommend using at least
19V AC/DC adapter.
4. Operation
4.1 SSI-065 Installation
1. Loosen the tip setscrew, insert the soldering tip connector and tighten the screw.
2. Connect the ground wire to the ground wire setscrew.
3. Connect the DC connector to SSI-065, connect the power cord and turn on the power
accordingly.
Note: If the screen displays "sen-err" when the tip was installed,
that means the soldering iron tip is not properly installed, please re-install it properly.
4.2 Basic Control
4.2.1 Screen Display
When plugged into DC12-24V power, SSI-065 will display Maclan logo, Version number and its
standby screen in sequence.
When plugging into DC 12-24V power, push Button A at the same time, and the device will enter
update mode. Update mode allows you to update the firmware of the device. Please visit Maclan-
Racing.com for the latest firmware info.
To exit Update mode, unplug and plug power in the device again without pressing any button, the
SSI-065 will enter standby mode.

4.2.2 Sfety First
Safety is always number one on the list when you use the SSI-065. Please ensure
that you set the correct input power voltage before you start using the iron.
Please refer to section 4.3 System Parameters/ Default Setting to set the input
power.
The SSI-065 features a secondary protection in the parameter Off Voltage
(OffVolt), that has a default setting of 10V. It is your responsibility to make sure
this setting is set to a correct value before you start using the iron. We suggest to
set the Off Voltage at 3.2V per cell count. For example, if you use a 6S battery
pack, we'd suggest to set the Off Voltage at 19.2V.
