increased heat requirements.
E3: maximum re-heating characteristics. For solder-ing operations with
very high heat requirements.
5.3.7 Password Function (P)
By means of the password function, the station can be protected
against accidental or unauthorized parameter changes. The password
can be entered in the form of a number between 0 and 999. The value
0 (display: 000) indicates that the password function is disabled. After
a sequence of digits has been entered and confi rmed by pressing the
ENTER key, three dashes (- - -) are displayed. The station is password-
protected as of this point in time. All settings can still be viewed.
To disable the password function, the three dashes (- - -) are displayed
again in the corresponding menu. The password must now be entered
and confi rmed with the ENTER key. If the password is correct, then the
three zeros (000) are again displayed; the dashes remain displayed in
the event of an error.
The password is the same for all programs, e.g. it is independent of
the preset program. A program choice (manual / Tool selector) is also
possible with an activated password.
If the user wants to change a parameter at a password protected
station, the station must be unblocked by the password. The display
changes immediately to enter password by the (+)/(-) keys. Then the
password can be entered with the (+)/(-) keys and can be confi rmed
by ENTER key.
The station checks the password and returns to the parameter.
5.4 Changing Soldering Tips
The soldering or desoldering tip must be changed when worn or when
another tip form is desired.
Important: Operate all soldering tools only briefl y without
soldering tips!
1003A.80E
The soldering tip can also be replaced when hot by means of
fl at-nosed pliers.
• Lift spring hook out of tip hole (pos. 1/ fi g. 6) and pull off the tip
using the fl at-nosed pliers (pos. 2/fi g. 6).
• Set aside the hot soldering tip on a fi reproof support or in the holder.
• Attach new tip; when sliding on the tip make sure that the knob of
the heating element lies in the slot of the tip (fi g. 7). This positions the
tip and prevents turning.
• Anchor spring hook in the tip hole again.
To obtain good electrical and
thermal conductivity,
occasionally remove the soldering
tip and clean the heating element
shaft with a brass brush.

The station can be reset to the above factory settings. To this end,
fi rst switch off the station. Now press the ENTER key. While keeping
this key pressed, keep the station switched on until the display test is
concluded (all segments light up briefl y).

5.6 Resetting the Password

In the event that a password is forgotten, it can be deleted as descri-
bed in section 5.5. All parameters set by the user are then also lost.
5.7 Working with sensitive components
Many components may be damaged by electrostatic discharge (please
observe the warnings on the packaging or ask the manufacturer
or supplier). These components can be protected by an ESD-secure
workplace.
The soldering station can be easily integrated into such an environ-
ment. The soldering tip can be connected at high resistance (220kΩ)
to the conductive workbase via the potential equalization jack
(no. 1/fi g. 9).
The soldering station has complete antistatic protection and also meets
the requirements of the American military standard.
The soldering tips are default hard grounded.

5.8 Calibrating the soldering station
Two calibrating functions are in principle available on the 1003A.E.
The two functions were already mentioned in sections 5.3.4: Tip Offset
Function (0) and 5.3.5: Calibration Function (C).
To calibrate the soldering station correctly, you must proceed as follows:
First, enter the tip used on the tool (see chap. 5.3.4 Tip Offset Function
(0)). The station will then be able to determine, control and display
the correct tip temperature. If the Tip Offset is not correctly specifi ed,
the soldering can become prematurely unusable.
The calibration function (see chap. 5.3.5
Calibration Function (C)) brings the actual tip temperature into exact
correspondence with the displayed temperature. When calibrating, you
must proceed as follows:
