5. INITIAL SETUP

●Iron holder

Assemble as shown:

●Insert the holder assembly securely into

the Iron holder base.

●Connector cord

Pass the connector cord through the hole in the

heat resistant pad.

●Soldering station

1. Insert the connector cord into the receptacle

at the front of the station.

2. Plug the power cord into a grounded wall

socket. The FP-101 is protected against

electrostatic discharge and must be

grounded for full efficiency.

Receptacle

Push the connector in as far as

it will go. When the plug clicks,

it is fully inserted.

●Tip tray

Place spare tips in the tip tray.

6. OPERATION

OPERATION

1. Turn the power switch ON.

2. A heat range indicator (one of the four

segment buttons, indicating the selected

range) will blink.

3. When the set temperature is reached, the

buzzer alarm sounds indicating it is ready for

use. The indicator lamp remains on steadily.

NOTE:

When not in use, place the soldering iron to the iron

holder.

●Control card Each FP-101 comes with a small card, which

inserts into the Card slot on the front of the unit.

This card is used when changing heat ranges.

Any FP-101 card can be used with any FP-101

soldering station.

●Changing the heat range

1. Insert the control card into the slot in the

front of the unit.

As previously noted, the four segment

lights on the front panel indicate the heat

range selected for the FP-101 (6.5=

~650°F. [343°C]; 7.0= ~700°F. [371°C];

7.5= ~750°F. [399°C]; 8.0= ~800°F.

[427°C]. The ranges are approximate

values only; the actual tip temperature

depends upon tip geometry and mass.

These lights are indicators; one must

press the “heat range”button, located

below the indicators, to change range.

2. Press the heat range selector button. Each

time this button is pressed a different heat

range indicator lamp will light. It will blink

slowly until the set range is reached; once at

temperature, it will remain on steadily.

3. Removing the card.

When the station is on and the control card

is in the station, the temperature can be

changed any time.

4. When the alarm sounds and the heat range

indicator lamp starts lighting, the station is

ready for use.

When power is switched off the selected heat

range is stored in memory.

CAUTION:

The control card must be inserted into the card slot in the

correct direction for data to be entered.

●Replacing the tip

Removing and inserting the tip:

Removing the tip: Hold the sleeve assembly

to remove the connector.

Remove the tip from the sleeve assembly.

(If the tip is hot, hold it with the heat-resistant

pad.)

Inserting the tip: Hold the head part and

insert the tip into the sleeve assembly. Push

until the sleeve assembly touches the ring

round the tip; at this point the tip should not

be forced further into the sleeve assembly.

Put the tip into the connector.

Insert the new tip firmly into the connector.

There are no orientation requirements. CAUTION:

The tip can be very HOT. Use the heat-resistant pad for

handling hot tips, but do not hold the hot portion of the tip,

even with the pad, for a long time.

FM-2021

24V-70W

●Using the iron holder

Remove any excess solder from the tip

by thrusting the tip into the cleaning wire.

(Do not wipe the tip against the wire. This

may cause molten solder to spatter.)

When the wire become dirty or loaded with

solder, turn the wire until a clean surface is

presented.

When changing the cleaning wire, lift the

case top vertically to prevent solder debris

from falling out.

7. PARAMETER SETTINGS

Auto power shutoff

This is an optional setting. When it is activated

and the soldering iron is not used for 30

minutes, the power to the heating element is

shut off automatically, the alarm will sound

three times and the selected heat range lamp

will light slowly. When the temperature

decreases to 100°C/212°F, the heat range

indicator lamps light in a slow clockwise

sequence. If the station is left in this mode, the

'alarm' will continue to sound every thirty

minutes. To resume soldering, cycle the power

switch OFF, then ON. The power will be turned

on automatically if the heat range selector

button is pressed before the temperature

decreases to 100°C/212°F.

The auto power shutoff switch is on the bottom

front of the case. To turn this function ON ,set

the switch to the' I ' position. (OFF is reverse.)

Hold the sleeve assembly at the front to remove tip.

Hold these parts to insert tip into sleeve assembly.

Hold and squeeze this part to insert into the connector.

8. MAINTENANCE

●Tip maintenance

High temperatures shorten tip life and may

cause thermal shock to components. Always

use the lowest possible temperature when

soldering. The excellent thermal recovery

characteristics of the FP-101 ensure effective

soldering at low temperatures.

2. Cleaning Always clean the soldering tip before use to

remove any residual solder or flux adhering to it.

Use the 599B tip cleaner (provided with the FP-

101) or use a clean and moist cleaning sponge

(part no.A1495). Contaminants on the tip have

many deleterious effects, including reduced

heat conductivity, which contribute to poor

soldering performance.

3. After use Always clean the tip and coat it with fresh solder

after use. This guards against oxidation.

4. When the unit is not being used

and the auto power shutoff is not

active.

Never allow the unit to idle at a high temperature

for extended periods. This will allow the tip to

become oxidized. Turn the power switch OFF. If

it is to be out of service for several hours, it is

advisable to pull the power plug as well.

5. Inspecting and cleaning the tip This procedure, if followed daily, will materially

add to tip life.

a. Set the heat range to 6.5.

b. When the temperature stabilizes, clean the

tip (see 2, above) and check the condition of

the tip. If the tip is badly worn or deformed,

replace it.

c. If the solder plated part of the tip is covered

with black oxide, apply fresh solder, con-

taining flux, and clean the tip again. Repeat

until all the oxide is removed, then coat the

tip with fresh solder.

d. Turn the power OFF and remove the tip,

using the heat resistant pad. Set the tip

aside to cool.

e. Remaining oxides, such as the yellow dis-

coloration on the tip shaft, can be removed

with isopropyl alcohol.

CAUTION:

NEVER file the tip to remove oxides!

T7-D24

Verify the electrical integrity of the heater and

sensor.

Measure the resistance of the heater and

sensor while at room temperature (15 to 25°C;

59 to 77°F). It should be 8Ω±10%. If the

resistance exceeds these limits, replace the tip.

■Check the grounding line 1. Unplug the connection cord from the station.

2. Measure the resistance value between Pin 2

and the tip.

3. If the value exceeds 2Ω(at room temperature),

perform the tip maintenance described on P.12.

If the value still does not decrease, check the

connection cord for breakage.

■Checking the connection cord

for breakage

1. Remove the soldering tip and the sleeve

assembly.

2. Turn the front piece of the FM-2021 clockwise

and remove the cover.

3. Measure the resistance values between the

connector and the lead wires at the socket as

follows:

Pin 1 –Red Pin 2 –Green

Pin 3 –Black Pin 5 –White

If any value exceeds 0Ω, replace the FM-2021.

9. ERROR MESSAGES

●System Error When the power is turned on, the system

automatically checks its memory and the stored

program. If a problem is found, all the heat

range indicator lamps will light and the tip will

not heat.

NOTE:

‘Sensor error’also occurs if the tip is not inserted

properly.

●Sensor Error When there is the possibility that a failure has

occurred in the sensor or heater (including the

sensor circuit), the heat range indicator lamp

will blink rapidly and the heater is shut down.

NOTE:

Only the FM-2021 is compatible with the FP-101.

●Heater terminal short circuit
