Weller DS800 - Manual

MODEL DS800 ELECTRONIC DESOLDERING STATION
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The DS800 is a fully electronic desoldering station with
electrostatic dissipative (ESD) construction and utilizes a
high precision electronic system to control desoldering tip
temperatures. A precision platinum sensor is used in the
desoldering tool to measure temperature. Tools may be
unplugged and replaced without affecting the calibrated
accuracy of the station. Temperature control and dynamic
response to load are fast and noise free. Zero crossing or
optically isolated electronic circuitry is used to control the
pump and other functions so that no voltage transients are
generated to endanger sensitive, high reliability electronic
circuitry. Temperature control is indicated by the flashing LED
which shows when the heating element is on. A calibrated dial
is used to set tip temperature. This covers a temperature
range of 350°F to 850°F.
The DS800 uses an internal rotary vane vacuum pump to supply vacuum for desoldering operations. This pump can provide a
high vacuum for desoldering multi-layer boards and other difficult jobs as well as high flow for very good plated through hole
cooling to prevent reattachment of leads in holes after desoldering. It is also very quite when operating. The desoldering
pencil has a convenient index finger push button to control the vacuum pump. The vacuum pump may also be controlled
using an optional foot switch that plugs into a socket located on the rear of the station housing.
The DS800 uses a new DS1203 desoldering pencil that has a high mass desoldering head and high power heating element.
The high mass head holds more heat and can transfer that heat to the joint being desoldered much faster. This allows faster
desoldering without having to use possibly damaging high tip temperatures to get enough heat.
