5.2.2 Description of the Flow Chart
Starting from the actual value display, the next menu point in each
case is reached via
the ENTER key. The sequence of menu items (parameter settings) is
shown in the fl ow chart in Figure 3. Each parameter setting is carried
out via the (+) and (-) keys. You can jump back to the actual value
display from any menu item by double-clicking (pressing twice) the
ENTER key.
The symbol for the given menu item fl ashes in the fourth position. If
no input is made within 8 seconds, the station returns to the actual
value display. All parameter settings are saved and take effect
immediately.
5.2.3 Abbreviated Procedure
The double-click function has been integrated for easier parameter
setting. Once you have carried out a parameter setting within the fl ow
chart (see Figure 4), you can return to the actual value display by
double-clicking (pressing twice) the ENTER key. By again double-clic-
king in the actual value display, you can now follow a branch from the
last selected menu item.
Running through the entire menu is not necessary.

5.3 Description of the Functions

5.3.1 Setpoint Function (° )
The desired soldering tip temperature setpoint is set in the fi rst menu
item (see fl ow chart in Figure 3) by means of the (+) and (-) keys.
Temperature range of the 1003A.80E soldering iron.
50°C / 120°F ➜ 450°C / 850°F
5.3.2 Temperature Unit Function (U)
This function serves to set the desired temperature unit (°C or °F) via
the (+) and (-) keys.
5.3.3 Standby Function (S)
This function switches the soldering station to a state of readiness if it has
not been used over a preset period of time. The purpose of this function is
to protect the soldering tip and to reduce energy consumption.
In standby, the soldering tip temperature is lowered to 200°C (390°F).

The standby time is set in minute increments. The setting range is 0 - 60
min, with an input of 0 disabling the standby function. When the station
enters standby mode, the display starts to fl ash. When an arbitrary key is
pressed, the station returns to the normal mode. For soldering irons with
SENSOTRONIC, cleaning the tip on the moist sponge can also enforce the
switch over to normal mode.
By wiping the soldering tip, the station recognizes an abrupt temperature
reduction and switches back to normal mode. This function works best
for certain soldering tips of all mass. Heavy mass tips will often not be
suffi ciently cooled during cleaning to reset the station into normal mode.
You should switch off the standby function when working with small
soldering spots. In such cases, the heat emission at the soldering tip may be
too low for soldering to be registered. The station would then undesirably
lower the solder-ing temperature to the standby temperature.
Restrictions of the standby function:
The standby function is not restricted with the 1003A.80E.
5.3.4 Tip Offset Function (0)
The temperature characteristics of the soldering tips vary depending
on their masses and geometrical forms.
The Tip Offset serves to adapt the temperature measurement to the
given soldering tip or to the given thermocouple type of the
temperature sensor. The soldering tips used are set in the form of
numbers. Since the station automatically recognizes the connected
solder-ing iron, the station can identify
the complete combination of iron
and tip on the basis of the selected
number. In this way, temperature
recording and control can be
optimally adapted.
5.3.5 Calibration Function (C)
This function serves to calibrate the soldering tip temperature. It allows
the display value to be adjusted to the actual tip temperature.
The adjustable calibration range is ± 50°C (± 120°F).
The precise procedure for calibration is described in section 5.8.
5.3.6 Energy Function (E))
The energy function allows the user to infl uence the control characte-
ristics of the station, so that heating and re-heating by the station can
be adapted to the given area of application. Three settings (values
1-3) are possible with Power tool and Tech tool. Due to the different
function mode of the remaining tools, these settings are not possible
for those tools. They operate with constant control parameters instead.
E1: Minimum re-heating characteristics. For
soldering operations with low heat requirements.
E2: Stronger re-heating characteristics. For solder-ing operations with
