48W Temperature
Controlled Soldering Station
TS-1564
WORKING TEMPERATURE
Soldering at the correct temperature is very important to ensure proper solder connections.
If the temperature is too low the solder will not flow correctly and may cause cold solder
joints, commonly know as “dry joints”. If the temperature is too high the flux will be burned
and not allow the solder to flow correctly. High temperatures can also cause damage to
the PC Board and other sensitive components. When the working temperature of the tip is
set to the correct value for the type of the solder being used, a good solder connection will
result.
The most common solder alloys used in the electronics industry are 60% tin, 40% lead
(60/40).
The common tip working temperature of 60/40 solder is detailed below (this may vary from
manufacturer to manufacturer):
Melting point……………………………………………………………4190F(2150C)
Normal operation……………………………………..…..4190F-5720F(2150C-3000C)
Production line operation…………………………………6080F-7160F(3200C-3800C)
Desoldering operation for small joint…………………………………...5990F(3150C)
Desoldering operation for larger joint…………………………………...7520F(4000C)
CARE OF THE TIP
The tip supplied is plated copper and will last a long time. Please observe the following
conditions;
1. Always keep the tip tinned before switching off or storing for any period of time, wipe
only before use.
2. Do not keep the iron set at a high temperature for long periods of time as this will
break down the surface of the tip.
3. Never clean the tip with a file or coarse abrasive materials.
4. If, however, an oxide film does form on the tip, it can be cleaned by lightly rubbing with
a 600-800 grit emery cloth, isopropyl alcohol or equivalent. Once this is done,
immediately reheat and re-tin the tip to prevent further oxidation.
5. If used continuously, remove the tip and clean every twenty hours, or at least once a
week. Also, remove any loose build up that may appear in the barrel.
6. Do not use fluxes containing chlorides or acids. Use only rosin or activated resin
fluxes.
7. Do not use any anti-seize materials or compounds on the wettable surface of the tip.
MAINTENANCE
The Temperature Controlled Soldering Station must be placed on the stand when not in
use.
If the supply cord is damaged in anyway it must be replaced immediately in order to avoid
a hazard. A suitably qualified person or service agent must carry this out.
TIP REPLACEMENT AND DRESSING
Note: Tip replacement or cleaning should be done only when the iron is at room
temperature. The tip can be changed or replaced simply by unscrewing the knurled nut
barrel assembly. It is essential that the station be switched off and allowed to cool before
and during this operation, as damage may result if the system is left on without the tip
inserted. After removing the tip, blow out any oxide dust that may have formed in the tip
retaining area of the barrel. Care should be exercised to avoid getting dust in your eyes.
Replace the tip and tighten the knurled nut barrel assembly using only hand pressure.
Pliers should only be used to tighten the nut, if loosening occurs when the iron is hot. Care
should be taken not to over tighten the nut, as this may damage the element.
GENERAL CLEANING
The outer case of the iron or station may be cleaned with a damp cloth using small
amounts of liquid detergent. Never submerse the unit in liquid or allow any liquid to enter
the case of the station. Never use solvents to clean the case.
