Instruction Manual for L F- 8800 Temperature Controlled Soldering/Desoldering Station For Lead-free soldering application and rework on professional SMD electronics.
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing Xytronic’s high power soldering/desoldering station – the best solution for all your soldering/desoldering equipment needs especially for the lead free applications! We believe you will be more than satisfied with the many features and the versatility of your new soldering/desoldering station. Please carefully read the instruction manual to maximize the advantages of using your new LF-8800 soldering/desoldering station.
delayed switch feature has been incorporated for the unit that allows the pump to continue sucking for 1.5 seconds after the actuator switch is released. ■ LIGHTWEIGHT SOLDERING IRON: Ergonomic mini handle that stays cool and prevents operator fatigue. ■ ENERGY SAVER MODE: If the station has been idle for 20 minutes, the energy saver feature will automatically engage, the temperature goes down to 150℃ from the set temperature.
working surface of the tip as possible. This results in both a rapid heat up, fast recovery and exacting temperature control with minimal overshoot. The revolutionary “Zero Voltage” electronic switching design also protects voltage and current sensitive components (CMOS devices etc.) against damaging current and transient voltage spikes commonly produced by less efficient, mechanically switched stations. The power unit is isolated from the A.C.
SPECIFICATIONS: Model Input Fuse LF-8800 120Vac 60Hz 230Vac 50 Hz T3.15A T2A Soldering 32Vac/100W Output Desoldering 32Vac/100W Soldering 150-480℃ Temperature Range Desoldering 300℃-450℃ Temperature Correction Range -99℃~＋99℃/-178℉～＋178℉ Soldering Temperature 150℃ Default Set Desoldering Temperature 300℃ Sleep Mode in opening status Dimensions 105 x 90 x 126mm (W x H x D) Weight (Unit only) 6.5kg FUNCTION INTRODUCTION TEMPERATURE SETTING: (No password set) 1.
the unit will be under the status of no password. If the user sets “100” then means the unit will be under the password status. Press “SET” key once to finish password setting and the unit will backup mode, the user can continue set other modes or back from the setting mode. 4. Temperature Correction Setting Press “SET” key once when the LED displays “F-2” and flashes that the unit enters the Temperature Correction Mode. At this moment, the LED displays preset correction value.
6. Wake-up method ① Temperature Down Suspend: If the unit is set at Sleep mode function, after 20min idleness, the system will enter the sleep mode automatically, the temperature of soldering will go down to 150℃ (302℉) / and the LED displays at “ 150” and flashes, the temperature of desoldering will go down to 200℃ (392℉) and the LED displays at “ 200” and flashes.Activating the solder wand will disengage the suspend status and the unit will immediately ramp up to the preset temperature.
IMPORTANT: The temperature above 410℃ (770℉) is not recommended for normal soldering functions, but can be used for short periods of time when high temperatures are required. DESOLDERING Recommended tip working temperatures are detailed below and can vary from joint to point. Operation for small joint 320℃ - 360℃ (608℉- 680℉) Operation for larger joint 370℃ - 400℃ (698℉- 752℉) Too low of a temperature will slow the flow rate of solder and may clog the tip. Too a high temperature ay burn the P.C.B. 1. 2. 3.
be flashed on and off to maintain the set temperature. The unit now is ready for use. 8. When you only use soldering iron or desoldering iron, you can set the power off suspend mode by pressing keys “ SET + ▲”. At this time, the iron which you set will enter the power off suspend status. The display shows “— — —”. It means that the heater power is cut off. You can wake it up by presing “▼” key when you reuse the iron. ★ Please note both DIA & SIA can be operated at the same time.
4. 5. 6. Wiping the tip on a high sulfur content, dirty or dry sponge. Contact with organic substances such as plastic, resin, silicone, grease and other chemicals. Impurities in the solder and/or low tin content. CARE OF TIPS CAUTION: The soldering, desoldering irons can reach very high temperature. Be sure to turn the unit off prior to carrying out any maintenance or trouble shooting steps listed below! IMPORATNT: Remove the tip and clean after each moderate to heavy use or daily for light usage.
due to the tip, solder collector, tube or in-line filter. CAUTION: THE DESOLDER SWITCH MUST BE “OFF” AND ALLOW THE IRON TO COLL BEFORE ATTEMPTING THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES: 1. Disconnect vacuum tube form the fitting on the front panel, place finger over the hole of the fitting, depress vacuum switch and you should have a strong vacuum. If not, send back to your nearest service center for pump repair. 2.
FIG-4 FIG-5 10. Remove the tip by using a pliers as in Figures 6 & 7. FIG-6 FIG-7 11. Insert the stainless tube of the tip back in the barrel to melt the solder in around 5 seconds as in Figure 8. FIG-8 FIG-9 12. Remove again and shake out any loose melted solder in the tip per Figure 9, the tip should now be unclogged.
2. Slide out the solder collector as in Figure 11. (CAUTION: The solder collector is glass and thus retains heat, handle with care!) FIG-11 3. Point the collector down while shaking slightly (see Figure 12.) and the waste solder will fall out. This task must be carried out periodically for proper operation of the station. FIG-12 4. Remove cooling strip with a pair of long nose pliers or tweezers. (see Figures 13 & 14) FIG-13 FIG-14 5.
FIG-15 FIG-16 5. Remove old cotton filter and replace (see Figures 17 & 18). FIG-17 FIG-18 IN LINE FILTERS 1. Unscrew in line filter (see Figure 19) and then pull apart (Figure 20).
Soldering tips for 307A MAINTENANCE NOTE FOR DIA100 Change of Cotton Filament (76-1411030): Please note that the cotton filament cannot be washed with the water. Water drops would be sucked into the Pump and may cause the pump damaged within 1 to 2 months. If you wash with the water, Cotton filament will turn solid and will stop the DIA100 working well. Please change at least once 3 to 5 days if you use 8 hours per day.
