Instruction Manual for Soldering / SMD Rework Station LF-1680 For Lead-free soldering application and rework on professional SMD electronics.
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing Xytronic’s soldering and SMD rework station. This appliance is specially designed for both lead free soldering and SMD chips, SOT, Flat pack ICs’ etc. reworking without alternating the wands. Please carefully read the instruction manual prior to operate to maximize the advantages of using your new rework station.
element. Both of the Solder wand and tweezers wand run from 32 Volts for safety and with 80W power ceramic heater for a super-fast heat-up and quick temperature recovery. Both of the solder wand and tweezers wand are attached with heat resistant, non-burning, flexible 5-wire cord. ◆ CONVENIENT FUNCTION SWITCH: Switch the function quickly that you want to select.
rapid heat-up and super fast recovery. 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 A.C. line by a transformer and allows only 32Vac to drive the heating element. The temperature “Lock-out” feature by “password” is convenient for production management.

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.) and may also shorten the tip life. IMPORTANT: The temperature above 410℃ (770℉) is not recommended for normal soldering functions, but can be used for short periods of time when high temperatures are required.
TWEEZERS OPERATING PROCEDURES 1. Ensure that the base unit power switch is in the “OFF” position. 2. Plug in Tweezers wand and connect AC power cord to mains “In-let” 3. Flip the “TWZ/SIA” function switch on to the “TWZ” position. 4. Turn “Mains power switch” to “ON” position. 5. Press the key “▲”and choose the temperature you want to set. 6. When the temperature reaches to the desired temperature that the heating indicator light will be flashed on and off to maintain the set temperature.
DO NOT WORK ON LIVE CIRCUITS - Before working on any mains powered equipment, make sure that it is turned off, and the mains plug is removed from the power point. DO NOT USE IF DAMAGED - If the power lead becomes damaged or the rework station becomes faulty, discontinue use immediately. To comply with safety standards, the power lead must only be replaced by authorized technicians as special purpose tools are required.
4. Temperature Correction Setting Press “SET” key once when the LED displays “F-2” and flashes that the unit enters the Temperature Correction Mode. At this moment, the LED displays preset correction value. A: Operation of Centigrade temperature correction（+99℃~-99℃） Press “▲” or “▼” key to change the temperature correction value.The first digit “— ” means minus (actual temperature is down), “No display” means plus (actual temperature is up).
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 brass cleaner prior to use. 2. Keeping the iron set at high temperatures (more than 400℃ or 750℉) will shorten tip life. 3. Does not use excessive pressure to the tip or rub the joint with the tip while soldering; it does not improve the heat transfer and may damage the tip. 4. Apply solder to the joint, not the tip when soldering.
cloth using small amounts of liquid detergent. Never submerse the unit in liquid or allow any liquid to enter the case of the station. Never use any solvent to clean the case. SERVICE If the iron/tweezers or rework station should become faulty or, for some reason not operate normally, the system should be returned to the service department of your authorized dealer or service agent. Or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
