The POWER-STATION+ from Circuit Specialists features a large LCD display
which allows for dynamic display of the system performance. The setting is clear at
a glance. The powerful hot air system combines with a 75 watt soldering iron which
also includes a smoke absorbing feature. Controlled by a SAMSUNG SCM &
PID program, the POWER-STATION + can achieve real-time tracking and rapid
temperature recovery providing temperature stability within a fluctuation range of
+/- 1 deg C at the components heating elements Fast heat up time and auto shut
down features make this one of our top performing hot air rework systems.
Basic Features:
1. Individual Power Switch for Hot Air, Soldering Iron and Soldering Iron
smoke absorber
2. SAMSUNG SCM & PID program enables this unit to achieve real-time
tracking and correction of air gun and soldering iron temperature
3. Fahrenheit/Celsius display switchable
4. Large Liquid Crystal Display
5. Fast heat up.
6. Manual/Automatic mode may be set for operating the air gun
7. Auto Sleep function applies to the soldering iron & may be set from 0 to 99
minutes
8. Vacuum operated component pick up tool may be selected & used instead of
the smoke filter
Basic Instructions
• Attach the side mount hot air gun holder
• Power up the unit with the main power switch located on the back of the unit
• Apply the appropriate power switch on the front panel (hot
air/soldering/smoke absorber) You may apply 1, 2 or all three
• The Hot Air and Soldering Iron Temperature setting up/down buttons are on
the right hand side of the front panel. Use these buttons to set your desired
temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit
• Set your air speed using the rotary knob libeled “air”
• Attach the soldering iron to the 6 pin connector at the lower right hand corner
of the front panel
• Attach the smoke absorber tubing to the vacuum nozzle next to the solder
iron connector. Make sure there are not any kinks in the air line.
• If desired, install the vacuum powered component pick up wand instead of
the air filter
Setting the Hot Air Auto/Manual Operation
This Power-Station is equiped with a user selectable auto/manual operation mode.
In the auto mode, the system will detect ( through magnetic switch) when the hot
air gun is placed in the cradle and automatically start the cool down procedure.
However, if the user wants to disable this feature, then apply the following steps to
switch between auto and manual. Factory default for this unit is “auto” While in the
auto mode, once the end user removes the hot air gun from the cradle, the system
will quickly return to the setting it was on when the hot air gun was originally
placed in the handle. In order to switch between auto mode and manual mode,
follow this procedure:
• Press and hold BOTH UP and DOWN arrow buttons on the HOT AIR
switch panel. After 4 seconds the AUTO or MANUAL indicator on the
panel will flash and buttons should then be released
• Now select AUTO mode by pressing the UP button on the hot air switch
panel or select MANUAL mode by pressing the DOWN button on the hot
air switch panel
After 5 seconds, the AUTO or MANUAL indicators will stop flashing and the
selected mode will be stored in memory
Setting the soldering iron sleep mode
The soldering iron features automatic sleep mode operation which may be disabled
or adjusted to any desired operating time from 1 to 99 minutes. This feature may be
set by the end user using the following procedure:
• PRESS and HOLD BOTH the UP and DOWN arrow buttons on the
SOLDERING switch panel. After 4 seconds, the SLEEP indicator on the
display will flash and when this occurs, the buttons should be released. The
present sleep time setting will be displayed above the SLEEP indicator.
• Now the desired sleep time may be reset by pressing the UP or DOWN buttons
on the soldering panel. A value of “0” will effectiovely disable the auto sleep
feature.
After 5 seconds, the SLEEP indicators will stop flashing and the selected auto sleep
time will be stored in the memory.
Changing the Display from Celsius to Fahrenheit
a: Simultaneously press and hold the hot air up button and the pre-heater up
button for 3 seconds
b: The display will show the present format ( C or F)
c: Then press the HOT AIR “UP “ button to change the display from Celsius to
Fahrenheit
d: Press the PREHEAT “UP” button to change from Fahrenheit to Celsius
After 4 seconds, the F or C will disappear and your temperature reading will
continue in the mode you selected.. The default mode for a new system is Celsius.
