4 Device description

4.1 Soldering iron WXMP

The WXMP is a powerful 40 W (55 W with RT 11) fine soldering iron with integrated heating system in the soldering tip. Thanks to a plugin system, the soldering tip can be changed without tools.

The WXMP is equipped with a usage detector and can be automatically switched to standby mode or switched off when not in use. For details of setting the standby temperature and the switching times, please refer to the operating instructions of the WX supply unit in use.

Note The WXMP soldering iron by Weller may only be used with Weller WX supply units.

4.2 Desoldering tweezers WXMT

The WXMT desoldering tweezers by Weller have been developed for the re-working and repair of electronic SMD precision tools. The soldering/desoldering tip set can be replaced easily and quickly without tools. The tips are pre-calibrated and require no further alignment. The built-in heating elements (2 x 40 W) ensure that the desired soldering tip temperature is reached very quickly and precisely. The WXMT desoldering tip comes equipped with a usage detector and can be automatically switched to standby mode or Off when not in use. For details of setting the standby temperature and switching times, please refer to the operating instructions of the WX supply unit in use.

Note The WXMT desoldering tweezers may only be operated with WX supply units

WARNING!

Risk of burns

The soldering tips of the soldering iron and desoldering tweezers become very hot during soldering and desoldering.

There is a risk of burns from touching the tips.

Do not touch the hot soldering tips and keep them away from inflammable objects.

1. Carefully unpack the WXMP soldering iron or WXMT desoldering tweezers.
2. WXMP: Place the soldering iron into the safety rest (WDH 50).

WXMT: Place the tweezers into the safety rest (WDH 60).

1. Insert the connecting plug (5) into the socket on the power supply unit and lock the plug into the socket by turning it clockwise.
2. Check to make sure that the mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the rating plate of the WX supply unit.
3. Switch on the supply unit and set the desired temperature.
4. Once the tool has reached the desired temperature, coat the soldering tip in solder.

6 Changing WXMP soldering tips

WARNING!

Risk of burns

The soldering tip becomes hot during soldering and desoldering processes.

There is a risk of burns from touching the soldering tip.

The soldering tool must be switched off and stand at least 3 min. in the safety rest (WDH 50) until the soldering tip has cooled off. Only replace the soldering tips when they are cold.

Replacing a used soldering tip

1. Place the soldering tool into the safety rest.
2. Switch off the supply unit.
3. Wait three minutes until the soldering tip has cooled off.
4. Hold the soldering iron by the handpiece and pull the soldering tip off of the tool by the tip handle (3).

CAUTION!

Danger of malfunction

The soldering tip must be inserted completely.

Use of a soldering tip that has not been fully inserted can cause the tip to malfunction.

For this reason, make sure that the soldering tip is inserted as far as it will go in a single motion.

Inserting a new soldering tip

1. Hold the soldering iron by the handpiece (4) and insert the tip into the soldering tool by the tip handle (3).
2. Switch on the supply unit and set the required temperature.

Note

If different types of soldering tip are used, it is recommended that the tips be placed into the metal sockets provided on the back of the WDH 50 rest.

7 Changing the WXMT tip cartridges

WARNING!

Risk of burns

The tips become very hot during soldering and desoldering. There is a risk of burns from touching the tips.

The tweezers must be switched off and stand at least 3 min. in the safety rest (WDH 60) until the soldering or desoldering tips have cooled off. Soldering/desoldering tips may only be replaced after they have cooled off.

Replacing used tip cartridges

1. Place the tweezers into the safety rest.
2. Switch off the supply unit.
3. Wait three minutes until the soldering/desoldering tips have cooled down.
4. Hold the desoldering tweezers (4) by the handpiece and pull the tip cartridge (3) out of the handpiece by the recessed handles.

CAUTION!

Danger of malfunction

The tip cartridge must be inserted completely.

Use of a tip cartridge that has not been fully inserted can cause the tip cartridge to malfunction.

Make sure that the tip cartridge is inserted as far as it will go in a single motion.

Inserting a new tip cartridge

1. Grip the new trip cartridge by the recessed handles and insert it into the handpiece (4).
2. Switch on the supply unit and set the desired temperature.
