1. Description

1.1 Control unit

The soldering stations WS 80 and WS 50 are a part of the range of products which
were developed for industrial manufacturing as well as for the repair and laboratory
sector. The analog electronic control system guarantees the best possible control
performance for various soldering tools. The high-powered 24 V heating elements
make excellent dynamic performance possible, so that the soldering tools can be used
universally.
Various equipotential bonding possibilities for the soldering iron tip, zero power switch
and antistatic design of control unit and iron complete the high quality standard. The
desired temperature can be set by a rotary potentiometer in an infinitely variable range
between 150°C-450°C.
The set temperature can be locked by the key switch (4) integrated in the front plate.
Temperature settings cannot be changed when the unit is locked. A blinking red LED in
the display signals that the preset temperature has been reached – this serves as a
optical regulator. Constant illumination means that the system is overheating.
1.2 Soldering irons
LR 21: Our "standard" soldering iron. With a power of 50 watts and a wide
spectrum of soldering tips (ET series) this soldering iron can be used
anywhere in the electronics sector.
MLR 21: With its 25-watt power and slim design, this micro-soldering iron is
especially well-suited for fine soldering work with a low heating
requirement.
MPR 30: The Weller Peritronic MPR 30 soldering iron has an adjustable working
angle of 40° to enable an individually ergonomic soldering process. The
25-watt power and slim design makes this soldering iron suitable for fine
soldering work.
WTA 50: The unsoldering tweezers WTA 50 were specially designed for unsoldering
SMD components. Two heating elements (2 x 25 watts), each with its
own temperature sensor, ensure constant temperatures at both ends.
LR 82: High-performance 80 watt soldering iron for soldering work with high
heat requirements. The soldering tip is attached by a bayonet catch to
PK Elektronik Vertriebs GmbH, E-Mail: info@pkelektronik.com, Internet: www.pkelektronik.com
ensure correct position when using different tips (cannot be used with
GB
WS 50).
WSP 80: The soldering iron WSP 80 is characterized by its capacity for reaching
the soldering temperature quickly and precisely. Its slim design and heating
power of 80 watts makes universal usage possible - from extremely fine
to high-temperature soldering work. Work can be continued immediately
after switching soldering tips, since the temperature is reached again
quickly (cannot be used with WS 50).
See "Accessories" for additional tools.

2. Starting

Assemble soldering iron rest (see exploded drawing).Place the soldering iron in the
safety rest. Insert the soldering iron plug into the connection bush (6) of the control
unit and lock by turning to the right. Check that the power supply corresponds to the
specifications on the name plate and that the power switch (1) is in the OFF position.
On version that can be switched, set the voltage on selection switch (set in the factory
to 240 V ). Connect the control unit to the power supply. Set the temperature at the
rotary potentiometer (3). Switch on unit at the supply switch (1). Green LED (2) will
illuminate. This LED functions as the optical regulator. Constant illumination means
that the system is overheating. The blinking light signals that the operating temperature
has been reached.
