SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. When not in use always turn the power off and unplug the unit from
the electrical outlet.
2. Never use the soldering iron near any flammable substance,
material, or gas.
3. Never touch the metallic components of the soldering iron while
they are in use. The items are extremely hot and will cause serious
burns instantly. Allow the unit to properly cool to room temperature
before attempting to touch them.
4. Do not use the unit for any application other than soldering.
5. Do not tap the soldering tip against the work surface to remove
residual solder - this can damage the soldering tip and/or heating
element.
6. Do NOT modify the unit in any way.
7. When replacing consumable parts, only use approved
manufacturer parts.
8. Do not get the unit wet or use when your hands are wet.
9. The soldering process can produce smoke - ensure the area is
well ventilated.

SET-UP & OPERATION
1. Open the package and check that all parts are present and are
not damaged. If anything is missing or damaged, please contact
X-Tronic immediately for assistance (see back cover for contact
information).
2. Place the soldering iron in the soldering iron holder on the unit.
3. Solder can be secured in the solder roll holder found on the main
unit by placing the provided tube through the solder roll and
placing it in the holder.
4. Plug the 3-Prong AC cord into a grounded outlet to prevent electric
shock or injury.
5. Turn the power on using the power switch on the back of the
control module.
6. Once the power is on the LED Screen located on the front of
the control module will light up. The screen will initially show
which temperature unit (Fahrenheit or Celsius) is being used by
displaying “F - F” or “C - C” briefly.
7. The screen will then change to show the Set Temperature on the
left side of the display and the Actual Temperature of the soldering
iron on the right side of the display. Then the unit will proceed to
heat up to the last temperature set before it was turned off.
8. Set the desired working temperature by pressing the ▲ and ▼
temperature adjustment buttons on the front of the control module.
The temperature of the soldering iron can be set anywhere from
392°F ~ 896°F/200°C ~ 480°C.
9. Moisten the sponge and place it in the sponge holding space in the
iron cradle.
10. IMPORTANT: Remove the iron from the cradle and flood the tip
with a good quality rosin core solder-preferably 63/37 or 60/40
grade solder (See page 8).
11. Wipe the tip across the moist sponge or dip the tip into the brass
sponge to remove excess solder. The tip should then be bright and
shiny if it is tinned properly.
12. The soldering iron is now ready to solder. Proceed according to
your standard working practice.
WARNING: Do NOT leave the unit on full power for any long period
of time. This will greatly reduce the life of the soldering iron,
soldering tip, and heating element.

FUNCTION SETTINGS
TEMPERATURE CONVERSION
This unit can readout temperatures in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.
To change from one to the other, when the unit is powered off,
simply press the ▲ button and turn the unit on. The screen will
show either C - C or F - F to indicate the unit of measurement
being used.
SLEEP FUNCTION
If the soldering iron sits idle in the soldering iron holder for 10
minutes (default time), Sleep Mode will be activated. The screen
will switch to “---” and the soldering iron will cool down to 200°C
(392°F). To bring the unit out of Sleep Mode, simply pick up the
soldering iron from the holder.
Note: The unit will NOT go into sleep mode unless the soldering iron is
in the holder.
To change the default time before sleep mode is activated, turn the
unit off. Press and hold the ▲ and ▼ buttons and then switch the
unit on. The right side of the LED screen will show the number of
minutes the sleep time is currently set to before the unit will go into
sleep mode. Use the ▲ and ▼ buttons to adjust the sleep time.
The sleep timer can be set between 00-30 minutes, in 1 minute
increments. Once the desired time has been set, the setting will
automatically be saved after 5 seconds.
Note: Setting the sleep timer at “00” will turn the sleep function off and
the unit will NOT go to sleep regardless of how long the unit sits
idle in the soldering station holder. It is not recommended to turn
the sleep timer off for normal use. The use of the sleep timer will
help extend the life of the heating element and tip if the unit is left
on for long periods of time.

MUTE / UNMUTE FUNCTION
The unit beeps when buttons are pushed or when it goes into
sleep mode. To toggle between Mute and Unmute Mode turn the
unit off. Press and hold the ▼ button while turning the unit back on,
the screen will display “on” or “off” to indicate the unit is unmuted
or muted respectively.
MEMORY PRESET BUTTONS
1. Ensure the soldering iron is in the soldering iron holder.
2. Turn on the power switch.
3. Press the ▲ and ▼ temperature adjustment buttons to set the
desired temperature.
4. Once the temperature you wish to program into a preset is set,
press and hold one of the preset buttons (CH1 / CH2 /CH3) for
approximately 3 seconds, the unit will beep and the temperature
has been programmed into the preset channel.

MAINTENANCE
SOLDERING TIP PREPARATION
• Keep the soldering tip properly tinned. Always use solder with
sufficient rosin flux or the tip will de-wet. A well tinned tip will be bright
all over when hot, with no dull or discolored spots.
• To tin the soldering iron tip:
1. Plug in the iron and allow it to reach solder melt temperature.
2. Flood the tip with solder and let it stand for one minute.
3. Apply more solder to the tip, allow it to idle for one or two more
minutes, wipe it lightly on the sponge. Do not remove all of the
solder, but use the sponge to remove excess solder and wipe
solder onto non-tinned areas.
• Do not file or attempt to reshape the tip. This will destroy the plating
and shorten tip life. Do not use chloride and acid fluxes; they will also
shorten tip and heater life.
• For maximum tip life, always apply solder to the heated connections
or joints. Repeated application of solder directly to the tip will shorten
the tip life.
WARNING: Do NOT use anti-seize or any other lubricant on the tip
retainer or heater of the soldering iron.
UNIT
1. Keep the unit plugged into a GROUNDED outlet at all times during
operation.
2. Keep the unit and all components free from dirt, debris, and liquid
at all times.
3. Make sure the power cord is plugged in correctly and safely off the
floor to prevent accidents.
4. Keep all cords in the immediate workspace and avoid letting them
hang off the side of a table or bench top.
5. Wipe the unit down, when needed, with a dry, static-free cloth.
