Caution; Description; Technical Data; Commissioning - Weller W Série Mode D'emploi

English
Thank you for placing your trust in our company by pur-
chasing the temperature-controlled WELLER W-series sol-
dering irons. Production was based on stringent quality
requirements which guarantee the perfect operation of
the device.

1. Caution!

Please read these Operating Instructions and the atta-
ched safety information carefully prior to initial operation.
Failure to observe the safety regulations results in a risk
to life and limb.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for damage resulting
from misuse of the machine or unauthorised alterations.
The temperature-controlled WELLER W-series soldering
irons corresponds to the EC Declaration of Conformity in
accordance with the basic safety requirements of
Directives 89/336/EEC and 73/23EEC.

2. Description

The temperature-controlled WELLER W-series soldering irons
are suitable for a broad range of demanding soldering appli-
cations on electrical components with extremely high heat
sensitivity and are therefore ideal for use in industrial pro-
duction and for maintenance work on electrical appliances.
The industrial soldering irons of the W series have a solidly
constructed heating element and a wide selection of
"Longlife" soldering tips. The various power classes 60 W,
100 W, and 200 W provide the solution to a multitude of dif-
ferent soldering tasks. Temperature is controlled according to
the WELLER Magnastat principle.
If the tip is cold, the permanent magnet is attracted by the
ferromagnetic temperature sensor. This actuates the switch.
As the sensor approaches the Curie point, it loses its ferro-
magnetic properties and can no longer hold the permanent
magnet. The magnet is released and the switch returns to its
off-position (the power supplied to the heating element is
interrupted). If the tip cools slightly, the temperature sensor
attracts the permanent magnet and power is supplied once
again. The temperature sensors (Magnastats) have an extre-
mely narrow distribution of switching temperatures and are
not subject to any wear resulting from ageing or material
fatigue.

An additional advantage of this design is that the soldering
iron is switched off when the tip is changed. The heating ele-
ment cannot therefore burn out if the soldering tip is remo-
ved.

3. Commissioning

Bend the soldering iron stand using the enclosed bending
template. Place the soldering iron in the safety stand. Ensure
that there are no combustible objects in the immediate vici-
nity of the soldering iron. Check whether the mains voltage
matches the connected load of the soldering iron. Insert the
mains plug of the soldering iron into the mains socket. When
the necessary heating-up time has elapsed, wet the solde-
ring tip with a little solder. You can then begin soldering.
Fig.: Bending instructions and bending template see
page 23 + 24.

4. Important

Do not allow the soldering tip to become seized up. Applying
a thin layer of graphite to the end of the soldering tip and fre-
quent withdrawal of the soldering tip prevents unwanted sei-
zing up. The soldering tip should be cleaned using a water-
soaked cleaning sponge. When the soldering iron is not in
use, always place the soldering iron in the original stand.
Ensure that the soldering tip is well tinned during breaks bet-
ween soldering.
Do not pick the heating element up using pliers or tap it
clean. Attaching the sleeve nut by hand (when the soldering
iron is cold) is sufficient to secure the soldering tip.
