Tips for Tips on the Xytronic's 988, 968 |
Common Causes for Tip Failures:
1. Tip temperatures higher that 410°C (770°F).
2. The tip working surfaces are not tinned while the iron idling.
3. Lack of flux in soldering, wicking, repair, and touch-up operations.
4. Wiping the tip on a high sulfur content, dirty or dry sponge.
5. Contact with organic substances such as plastic, resin, silicone,
grease
and other chemicals.
6. Impurities in the solder and/or low tin content.
Care of Tips:
Caution: The soldering, desoldering irons can reach very high
temperatures.
Be sure to turn the unit off prior to carrying out any maintenance
or trouble shooting steps listed below!
Important: Remove the tip and clean after each moderate to heavy use or
daily
for light usage. Remove any loose build up in the tip retaining assembly
to prevent tip freezing.
Both solder, desolder tips supplied are iron clad copper and if used
properly should
maintain optimum life.
1. Always tin the tip before returning it to the holder, turning off the
station,
or storing it for long periods of time. Wipe the tip on a wet sponge or
our
tip cleaner 460 prior to use.
2. Keeping the iron set at high temperatures (more than 400°C or 750°F)
will
shorten tip life.
3. Do not use excessive pressure on the tip or rub the joint with the tip
while
soldering and/or desoldering, it does not improve the heat transfer and
may
damage the tip.
4. Never clean the tip with a file or abrasive materials.
5. Do not use fluxes, which contain chloride or acid. Use only rosin or
resin activated
fluxes.
6. If an oxide film forms, it can be removed by careful buffing with a
600-800 grit
emery cloth, isopropyl alcohol or equivalent and then wrapping rosin core
solder
around the newly exposed surface. Coat the tinned areas with rosin-core
solder after
the resin-core has melted.
New Tips:
Applying the following steps give the tip optimum life.
1. Set both temperatures to min. Then turn the main power switch to the
"ON" position.
2. Set soldering tip temperature to 250°C (500°F approx.) and
desoldering tip
temperature to min. Coat the timed surfaces with rosin-core solder after
reaching 250°C.
3. Set to the desired temperature about 3 minutes after being warmed that
the station
will be ready for use once it reaches preset temperature.
Important: Remove and clean the tip daily. If a new tip is installed,
remove any loose
build up in the tip and barrel assembly, otherwise the tip may fuse to the
heating element
or retaining barrel.
