· Large Digital Readout:
A slide
switch below the digital display allows the operator to toggle between a
Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature readout. Another slide switch allows the
operator to toggle between the readout temperature and the actual tip
temperature.
· ENERGY SAVER: After the
station has been idle for more than 15 minutes, this new feature will
automatically kick in. When the "Pause" LED is lit, the energy saver
feature has engaged, decreasing tip temperature by 1/3 which cuts power
consumption and extends tip life.
· DELAYED SUCTION: To eliminate the problem of solder
clogging up the tip, a delayed switch feature has been incorporated which
allows the pump to continue sucking for 1.5 seconds after the actuator
switch is released.
· EXTERNAL CALIBRATION PORT:
For quick and convenient
precision temperature adjustments. Turn clockwise for temperature increase
and vice-versa.
· LIGHTWEIGHT SOLDERING IRON:
Ergonomic mini handle
that stays cool and prevents operator fatigue.
· ANALOG VACUUM GAUGE. Helps to
diagnose suction problems with the desoldering unit.
· OPTIONAL TWEEZERS:
The TWZ60 is an optional feature
that is specially designed for SMD chips, SOT, Flat pack IC's, and surface mount
electrolytic capacitors. The TWZ60 Tweezers
are equipped with 24V/30W x 2 ceramic heaters which can be
interchangeable with soldering iron 107E5D as an option.
· OPTIONAL HOT AIR PENCIL: The HAP 60 is an optional
feature that
provides a fast and efficient method to remove and/or re-flow small Surface
Mount Devices. It can be interchanged
with the DIA60 Desoldering Pencil. For larger chips, please use the
Xytronic 852D.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Soldering/Desoldering Station 988D has a self-contained vacuum pump
which is electronically controlled, eliminating the need for additional
shop air. The 988Ds diaphragm vacuum pump requires no oil, is maintenance
free, quiet running and will not overload with continuous use. The vacuum
pump provides up to 65 cm/Hg (25.5 in/Hg) suction power, activated by a push
button switching circuit located on the desolder iron housing. Internal
solder collector in handpiece is quickly and easily removed for cleaning.
The inside mesh aluminum cooling strip has better solder chip adherence.
Also the ventilation slots makes for a cooler handle, improving operator
comfort.

The 988D incorporates electronic circuitry which enables
the user to fine tune soldering tip temperature from 200°C (400°F)
through 480°C (900°F) and desoldering tip temperature from 300°C
(580"F) through 450°C (850°F) without changing tips or heating
elements. The soldering iron incorporates a highly insulated Japanese made
Ceramic heating element and desoldering iron is a precision wound Nichrome
heater. The soldering iron 1O7ESD has an optional fume extraction kit
which can be equipped easily. The temperature is maintained within ±3°C
(±6°F) of its operating temperature by a PTC sensor (for ceramic heater
of soldering iron) and a thermocouple sensor (for nichrome heater of
desoldering iron) to ensure maximum temperature as close to the working
surface of the tip as possible. This results in both a rapid heat-up, fast
recovery and exacting temperature control with minimal overshoot. The
ergonomic and slender soldering iron design with a comfortable silicone
rubber grip prevents operator fatigue.
The revolutionary "Zero Voltage" electronic
switching design also protects voltage and current sensitive components (CMOS
devices, etc.) against damaging current and transient voltage spikes
commonly produced by less efficient, mechanically switched stations. The
power unit is isolated from the AC. line by a transformer and allows only
24VAC to drive all the heating elements. Both soldering and desoldering
are constructed with an individual calibration port locating under the
potential meters on the face of the unit for quick and convenient
precision temperature adjustments.
The 988D soldering/desoldering station has been
developed to meet the present and future needs of the electronic
production industry and is ideal for use at any AC outlet. Engineered to
meet the demanding needs of the hobbyist, service & repair technician
as well as production people alike.
WORKING TEMPERATURE SOLDERING
The most common solder alloys used in the electronic industry are 60%
tin and 40% lead (60/40). The working temperature of solder is
detailed below and can vary from manufacture to manufacture.
Melting point 215°C (419F°)
Normal operation 270 °C-320°C (51 °F-608 °F)
Production line operation 320°C-380°C (608°F-716°F)
When the iron's working temperature is set within the
parameters suitable for the type of solder being used, a good joint is
assured. Too low of a temperature will slow the rate of solder flow while
a high temperature setting might burn the flux in the solder and emit a
heavy, white smoke resulting in a dry joint or permanent damage to the
printed circuit board (p.c.b.).
DESOLDERING
Recommended tip working temperatures are detailed below and can
vary from joint to joint.
Operation for small joint 320°C-360°C (608°F-680°F)
Operation for larger joint 370°C-400°C (698°F-752°F)
Too low of a temperature will slow the flow rate of solder and may clog
the tip, too a high temperature may burn the p.c.b.
