Thank you for placing your trust in our company by pur-
chasing the Weller hot air station WAD 101. Production
was based on stringent quality requirements which gua-
rantee the perfect operation of the device.

1. Caution!

Please read these Operating Instructions and the attached
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 Weller hot air station WAD 101 corresponds to the EC
Declaration of Conformity in accordance with the basic
safety requirements of Directives 89/336/EEC and
73/23EEC.

2. Description

2.1 Control Unit

The WAD 101 is a hot air station that features a wide
variety of functions. As a result of the use of a micropro-
cessor, the unit is straightforward and easy to use. The
digital control electronics ensure optimal regulation beha-
viour with different soldering tools. The soldering tools
themselves are detected automatically and assigned the
appropriate control parameters. Excellent dynamic beha-
viour is made possible by the particularly powerful 24 W
heater elements. The soldering tool is thus of universal
application.
The required temperature can be set via 2 buttons
(Up/Down). Temperatures from 50°C - 550°C (122°F -
999°F) are realisable with hot air soldering tools. When a
soldering iron is connected, the adjustment range is auto-
matically limited to max. 450°C (842°F). Required and
actual values are displayed digitally. A flashing red LED
indicates when the selected temperature is reached, this
LED serves as an optical regulator monitor. The continu-
ous illumination of the LED indicates that the system is
warming up.
The air flow is controlled via a finger operated switch inte-
grated in the handle. The flow rate can be adjusted conti-
nuously over the range from approx. 0-10 l/min via a con-
trol valve. The hot air output is free of static charge.
Various methods of equipotentially bonding the soldering
iron bit, a zero voltage switch, and the anti-static design
of the control unit and soldering tools supple
ment the high standard of the unit. The possibility of con-
17
necting an external input unit extends the functional
diversity of this hot air station. Additional functions inclu-
ding timing and interlocking can be realised using the
WCB 1 and WCB 2 Input Units, available as optional
extras. The extended features of the WCB 2 Input Unit
include an integrated temperature measurement unit.
1.2 Soldering irons
HAP 1:
100 W hot air soldering tool with integrated finger switch.
Suitable for soldering and desoldering surface mounted
components. A wide range of nozzles makes the tool of
universal application.
LR 21:
Our "standard" soldering iron. With a power of 50 watts
and a wide spectrum of soldering tips (ET series) this sol-
dering iron can be used anywhere in the electronics sec-
tor.
MPR 80:
The Weller Peritronic MPR 80 soldering iron has an
adjustable workingangle of 40° to enable an individually
ergonomic soldering process. The 80-watt power and
slim design makes this soldering iron suitable for fine sol-
dering work.
WTA 50:
The unsoldering tweezers WTA 50 were specially desi-
gned for unsolderingSMD components. Two heating ele-
ments (2 x 25 watts), each with its own temperature sen-
sor, 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 ensure correct position
when using different tips.
WSP 80:
The soldering iron WSP 80 is characterized by its capaci-
ty for reachingthe soldering temperature quickly and pre-
cisely. 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 tem-
perature is reached again quickly.
