6. PARAMETERS

The HAKKO 937 has three user-adjustable or viewable

parameters: a) Temperature display mode (Centigrade or

Fahrenheit), b) Heater-error temperature tolerance, and

c) Room temperature compensation value (test mode).

Once parameter-input mode is entered, these

parameters are set in the order shown. Once all three

parameters have been set, normal operation is resumed.

1. Turn off the power switch.

2. Press and hold the and buttons

simultaneously, and turn on the power switch.

3. Continue holding down the and buttons until

the display indicates either (for Centigrade) of

(for Fahrenheit). The station is now in

parameter input mode.

4. Press either the or button to alternately

display and .

5. When the desired method is displayed, press .

The heater-error temperature will now be displayed

and the left-most digit (100’s digit) in the display will

begin flashing.

The heater-error temperature tolerance parameter is

entered in the same manner as used to set the

temperature. (see pg. 4, 5, steps 2-4.)

Be sure to use a value within the allowable range. (see

chart at left). If a value outside this range is selected, the

display will again flash the 100’s digit. Should this occur,

re-enter a correct value.

After setting the heater-error temperature tolerance, the

display will show the room temperature compensation

value (test mode).

This is the measured temperature of the soldering iron

tip. It is used to calibrate the tip temperature. (see pg. 7,

Calibration of iron temperature)

No inputs are made here. The display will not blink nor

will the heater receive power. Press to complete

parameter input. The soldering temperature setting will

be displayed for two seconds, then power will be

supplied to the heater and normal temperature control

will begin.

7. CALIBRATION OF IRON TEMPERATURE

Calibration is required whenever the soldering iron, or its heating element or tip have

been replaced. Although either of the two following calibration methods can be used,

calibration with a tip thermometer is more accurate.

Calibration with a tip

thermometer 1. Set the temperature to 400°C (750°F).

2. When the temperature stabilizes, remove the CAL pot

plug.

3. Using a regular or small cross point screwdriver, turn

the screw marked CAL on the front panel of the

station until the tip thermometer indicates a

temperature of 400°C (750°F).

Note: Turn the screw clockwise to increase the temperature

and counterclockwise to reduce the temperature.

4. Reattach the CAL pot plug.

1. Allow the HAKKO 937 to cool to room temperature.

(approx. 1 hour)

2. Press and hold down the and buttons

simultaneously, and turn the power switch on. (see

Parameters on pg. 6)

3. Following the procedure on page 6, display the room

temperature compensation value (test mode). This is

the measured temperature of the soldering iron tip.

CAUTION

If a mistake is made while performing steps 2 or 3, the

station will start up normally and the heating element will

begin warming up. Should this happen, turn the station off

and wait until it has again cooled to room temperature.

4. Using a regular or small cross point screwdriver, turn

the screw marked CAL on the front panel of the

station until the display indicates the room

temperature plus or minus the value in the calibration

chart on page 8.

5. Press to complete the calibration.

Power will now be supplied to the heater and normal

temperature control will begin.

Calibration with a room

thermometer (test mode)

We recommend the HAKKO 191

thermometers and HAKKO 192

soldering tester for measuring the tip

temperature.

9. TIP CARE AND USE

Tip temperature

Cleaning

When not in use

After use

High soldering temperatures can degrade the tip. Use the lowest

possible soldering temperature. The excellent thermal recovery

characteristics ensure efficient and effective soldering even at low

temperatures. Low temperatures also protect the soldered items

from thermal damage.

Clean the tip regularly with a cleaning sponge, as oxides and

carbides from the solder and flux can from impurities on the tip.

These impurities can result in defective joints, of reduce the tip’s

heat conductivity.

When using the soldering iron continuously, be sure to loosen the

tip and remove any oxide at least once a week. This helps prevent

seizure and reduction of the tip temperature.

Never leave the soldering iron sitting at a high temperature for

long periods, as the tip’s solder plating will become covered with

oxide, which can greatly reduce the tip’s heat conductivity.

Wipe the tip clean and coat it with fresh solder.

This helps prevent tip oxidation.

10. MAINTENANCE

Inspect and clean the

tip 1. Set the temperature to 250°C (482°F)

2. When the temperature stabilizes, clean the tip with the cleaning

sponge and check the condition of the tip.

3. If there is black oxide on the solder-plated portion of the tip,

apply new flux-contained solder and wipe the tip on the

cleaning sponge. Repeat until the oxide is completely removed.

Coat with new solder.

CAUTION

Never file the tip to remove oxide.

4. If the tip is deformed or heavily eroded, replace it with a new

one.
