Weller WES50 - Manual

MODEL WES50 ELECTRONIC SOLDERING STATION
DESCRIPTION
The WES50 Soldering Station is part of the range of product which have been developed for industrial manufacturing as
well as for the repair sector. A microcontroller makes operation simple and easy. The digital electronic control system
guarantees good control performance for various soldering jobs.
A grounded soldering iron tip, zero power switching and anti-static design of the station and tool completes the high
quality standard. The station features tip temperature calibration and the ability to lock the tip temperature setting; and
the station will enter a sleep mode and shut off power to the tool and indicator LED after 99 minutes of inactivity.
Tip temperature is set in the range of 350°F to 850°F (175°C to 455°C) with the front panel knob and the LED power
indicator will be green for normal operation or red if the temperature is locked. This soldering station is CUL approved
and meets all applicable standards.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack unit carefully. Place spring and funnel in slot in top of tool stand. Attach tool stand to either side of the power unit,
if desired. Fill reservoir with water and wet sponge, distilled water is preferred. Insert tool in holder and connect tool plug
to receptacle on power unit; rotate plug housing to lock plug into receptacle. Insert line cord plug into properly grounded
AC receptacle and turn station on. Set temperature control knob to desired tip temperature. Wait 30 seconds. Remove
tool from holder and tin tip with solder. Unit is now ready for use.
Always use the lowest temperature that will handle the load you are soldering. The Weller
® electronic control provides
maximum power to the heated load even when set to the lowest temperature; therefore, there is not need to use high
temperature to handle heavy soldering loads. By using lower temperatures and properly selecting tip styles, sensitive
components will be protected from heat damage.
WARNING: Do not remove ground prong from line cord plug. Removal may cause tip temperature control to be
erratic.
