1. INIRODUCll0N

You have just purchased a SCOPE 100W Soldering System. If for any reason you are not

happy with this tool, please tell us.

You can write, phone or fax:

Warren & Brown & Staff Pty Ltd, 108 Mitchell Street, Maidstone, Victoria 3012, Australia

Phone: (03) 9318 5844

Fax: (03) 9318 6091

Your soldering system comes in two parts: The SuperScope" Iron (Code 55 ) and the Power

Supply Unit (Code PSU). The PSU will power your iron - under no circumstances

should you connect a Superscope direct to the mains. Your Superscope's

temperature can be manually controlled through the switch ring. A gentle pushf.release action

and internal spring means auto switch off the moment you let go of the black push ring.

Follow the simple instructions for trouble free operation.

. You may optiOf!aIly purchase the 70W "Miniscope"iron Code MS (using the same PSU as

your Superscope) if a small pencil iron is more suited to your job.

2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 Iron to PSU connection

The spade connectors on the iron lead can be attached to either terminal (being AC

supply).

Warning: When attaching a second Scope tool to your PSU (such as the

70W pencil Miniscope iron or Metal Etching Pen), always connect

all "Marked" leads to one terminal to avoid tools of different

polarity shorting against each other.

Note: Because your Scope 100W Heavy Duty Station draws 30A at

around 3.3VAC when heating, all connectors and terminals are

heavy duty and should be tightened with spanner or pliers.

2.2 PSU To Power Point Connection

PSU can be connected to any general purpose power outlet/power point.

Note: Iron Rest Location

Mount the rest on the top surface of the PSU, a choice of position

is provided including a transverse option.

The rest can be reversed to allow the PSU to be mounted below

the bench.

3. EXPLANAll0N OF mE SCOPE HEAllNG PRINCIPLE AND BENERTS

Your Scope 100W Soldering system draws heavy 30A current from the PSU whenewr you

push the heat switch ring forward. (Part 1 7)

This current passes up the centre rod inside the barrel to the carbon element. (part 3)

3.1 Element and TIp Designed for Periodic replacement (spares kit supplied)

The carbon element reaches extrerI'.ely high temperature in seconds.

This intense heat (and 30A current) passes into the soldering tip creating soldering

temperatures within 5-6 seconds.

The return path for this current is back through the stainless steel barrel.

3.2 Heat SwItch Ring Controls Heat

When the switch ring is pushed forward it makes electrical contact between the heat

source (element) and workface (copper tip).

3.3 Benefits of Scope Heatbtg System

a. Instant Heat - Fast Cooling - Saves Power

You can insert a cool iron through heat sensitive circuitry then apply instant heat.

Tips remabt cleaner

b. Instantly variable heat - wider range of jobs with one Iron

You control the heat switch - heavier joints need more heat - solder flow tells you

what heat is needed.

4. HOW TO SOlDER

Preheat tip - push forward heat switch ring holding solder to the tip.

Stop when solder melts - release heat switch ring (part 17)

Bring tip to soldering location

Press ring forward to add additional heat

Apply solder between tip and work face

When solder flow is adequate:

. remove solder

. release Heat Switch Ring

. withdraw tip

Solder joint should remain totally steady till solder solidifies.

5. ROU11NE MAINTENANCE

Your Scope' COW soldering iron offers you the very unusual benefit of simple D.I. Y .

maintenance on the job. (No need to return the tool for factory maintenance).

5.1 TIp replacement (spares kit supplied)

The tip (part lA, 1B) is designed for periodic cleaning and replacement. Its size and

shape will alter over time due to the contact with hot solder. Normal life 3 - 12

months.

a. To remove TIp - hold barrel (part 2) with one pair of pliers and the tip with a

second pair - unscrew. (See Photo 1)

b. To clean - remove dark coating on rear face of tip to restore good electrical

contact whenever heating becomes sluggish.

c. To renew - insert new tip and only tighten slightly firmer than finger tight.

Note: Smear SCOPE ANTI-SEIZE high temperature grease to thread.

d. To clean thread - if a new tip does not enter easily - run a 1/4" WHIT tap into

barrel thread to remove flux contamination.

~ -

5.2 Element replacement (spares kit supplied)

The carbon element (part 3) is designed for periodic replacement. It gradually

becomes shorter due to the intense heat generated. Normal life 3 - 12 months.

a. To remove - Unscrew barrel (part 2 - See Photo 2), hold the carbon elements

metal body with one pair of pliers - hold the locknut (part 4) behind the metal body

stationary with a second pair of pliers; rotate the element body. (See Photo 3)

b. To replace - Reverse the removal process.

Note: Apply SCOPE AN11 SIEZE high temperature grease to thread.

Warning: Do not disturb position of locknut - the heat switch depends on this

factory setting remaining undisturbed.

6. WARNINGS

6.1 Power Supply

The iron must only be connected to the PSU - DO NOT CONNECT IRON DIRECT

TO MAINS

6.2 Overloading

The PSU is fitted with a thermal fuse to comply with Australian electrical standards.

The safe duty cycle is 6 secs ON 36 secs OFF

6.3 If PSU Too Hot

If you can't touch the outside casing of PSU - you may be overloading it due to over-

use or have an internal short circuit.

Switch off and check immediately.

6.4 If Iron Drops or is Hit

Immediately unscrew barrel (part 02) anq inspect:

a. carbon element (Part 03)

b. ceramic insulators (part 05)

If cracked or chipped - replace to avoid internal short circuits and PSU overload.
