1. DDSS Digital Display Soldering Station User Manual Introduction The Stahl Tools Digital Display Soldering Station is designed for production soldering to meet the daily demands of the electronics professional The DDSS offers electronic control of the units heat from 300 to 840 F at 48 Watts through the ceramic heating element With a super slim ESD safe pencil iron you can confidently work on or around sensitive components Work with the ceramic ringed stand attached to the base or detached when space is limited Temperature control A V buttons provide more precise heat control Temperature is displayed on the 2 1 4 W x 1 1 8 H LCD display Set Up e Unpack the soldering station and insert the ceramic ring into the tightly coiled end of the iron holder Insert the holder into the holder base Place the cleaning sponge into the base wet the sponge prior to using the iron to keep the tip clean Remove the heat shrink protective cover from the soldering iron tip Place the iron into the iron holder and connect the cable to the controller base Plug the three prong grounded power cord into a grounded electrical outlet and turn the controller base on Set the temperature to the desired temperature using the A V buttons the LCD will display HEAT ON as the soldering station is actively heating the iron and WAIT if the temperature falls below the set point e Do not operate the controller base without the soldering iron2. connected Note The iron holder can be attached to the right or left side of the controller base or left unattached as desired Working Temperature Soldering at the correct temperature is very important to ensure a perfect solder connection If the temperature is too low the solder will not flow properly causing cold solder joints If the temperature is too high the flux will burn and not allow the solder to flow properly High temperature can also cause damage to the PC Board and other sensitive components When the working temperature is set within the correct parameters suited to the particular solder being used a good joint is assured Never touch the solder directly to tip as this will burn the flux from within the solder The most common solder alloys used in the electronics industry is 60 tin 40 lead 60 40 A common tip working temperature of 60 40 solder is detailed below this may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer Melting point 419 F 215 C Normal operation 419 F 572 F 215 C 300 C Production line operation 608 F 716 F 320 C 380 C Desoldering for small joint 599 F 315 C Desoldering for large joint 752 F 400 C General Cleaning The outer case of the iron or station may be cleaned with a damp cloth using a small amount of liquid detergent Never submerse the unit in liquid or allow any liquid to enter the case of the station Never use solvent to clean the case Maintenance The iron must be
