Inspection 1. Checking the leak voltage (using SLD-Hoslen 192 or Bakon 192)

The following factors cause electric current to be leaked from the tip to the P.W.B. and the device, resulting in adverse effects on objects being soldered. For this
reason, check the leak voltage periodically.
Even though an insulative ceramic material is used, long-term use has caused the heating element to deteriorate and the leak voltage to increase.
Accumulation of oxides on the parts such as tip/element cover caused contact failure to be generated and leak voltage to increase.
How much leak voltage is normal?

The lower the leak voltage, the better. The MIL standard which has been abolished at present specifies that the leak voltage is designated to be lower than

2mV; therefore, all Hanstar station-type soldering irons have been delivered with the leak voltage set to 2mV or less in conformance to the MIL standard. The
MIL standard is a US military-based standard and the standard MIL-STD 2000A regarding soldering irons has been abolished.
Point for measuring the leak voltage
Measure the leak voltage after adjusting the temperature setting to the maximum. When the leak voltage is measured at the highest temperature, the highest
leak voltage will be recorded. If normal results are obtained even in unfavorable conditions such as at the highest temperature, it is judged that normal results
will be obtained at other temperature settings. (This method is based on the MIL standard.)

If the leak voltage is higher, what actions should be taken?

1. If the heating element has deteriorated
- Replace the heating element with a new one. The heating element will be oxidized and blackened in this case.

2. If oxides have accumulated on other parts

- Remove oxides with steel wool (Tinsel Tip Cleaner Top S-603). An oxidized tip causes the wetting characteristics to deteriorate. The
chemical is convenient to use for recovering the tip wetting characteristics.

Inspection 2. Checking the tip-to-ground resistance

When Oxide and flux stuck on the tip, the element cover and nut will cause the tip-to-ground resistance to become higher. As a result, the leak voltage will
become higher; therefore, periodically check the tip-to-ground resistance.
* For the tip-to-ground resistance, let the current temperature increase to the set temperature to make the temperature stable before measurement.

How much tip-to-ground resistance is normal?

As with leak voltage, the lower the tip-to-ground resistance, the better.
The MIL standard which has been abolished at present specifies that the resistance is designated to be lower than 5;
therefore, all HANSTAR station-type soldering irons have been delivered with the resistance set to
than that of the MIL standard.

or less which is stricter

If the tip-to-ground resistance is higher, what actions should be taken?

Polish the contact sections such as the tip and element cover with sandpaper, steel wool, etc. to remove any oxide films. An
oxidized tip causes the wetting characteristics to deteriorate. A soldering chemical paste is convenient to use for recovering
the tip wetting characteristics.

Inspection 3. Checking the tip temperature

If the tip, element cover, etc. are oxidized, heat conduction will be deteriorated, causing the tip temperature to become
lower, resulting in soldering failure. To prevent soldering failure, measure the tip temperature daily.
*Tip temperature can be measured by Hoslen- SLD 192 ,& HANSTAR-HANSUN191 &199 (FG- 100)
The indicated tip temperature may be lower than the actual temperature due to other factors.

HANSTAR FG-100 Thermometer

The Hanstar FG-100 v2 thermometer provide fast, accurate tip temperature measurements using a fine CA wire sensor (0.2). The FG-100
measures tip temperatures as well as solder pot temperatures (with optional temperature probe.) Lightweight, easy-to-replace sensors
provide accurate measurement of tips for verification or calibration processes. When the MAX HOLD feature is enabled, the thermometer will
display the maximum temperature measured. To preserve battery life, the auto shutoff feature turns the thermometer off when not used
for three minutes. The thermometer design allows for easy measurements from right or left handed operators.
The sensor (P/N: 191-211) has a special metal alloy coating (patent pending) that resists corrosion and oxidation

HANSTAR FG-100 v2- Modified version, it is used to measure soldering iron temperature when using the sensor 191-212.
It is with hole at the bottom that can fit TP-01 thermometer probe that you can use to measure also SMD Rework Hot Air temperature or TP-02
(a1130) needle probe so you can check the soldering pot boilers temperature

In general, the optimal temperature range for soldering is 300C to 500C, and that for SMD rework system is 300C to 600C.
The tolerance is 3C within the optimal temperature range (300C to 600C). For the temperature range other than the above,
the tolerance is not guaranteed but usually stays in the range of about 5C.

Suggested Replacement rate of sensor:

The suggested sensor replacement period is after 50 times of usage, but depends on the temperature used and the components in the solder
and flux.
If you use lead-free solder, the sensor needs to be replaced more frequently.
If the sensor degrades because it is being eaten away by the solder, it will register a low temperature. Even if the sensor is not broken, it is
suggested to replace it after about 50 measurements.
If the soldering tip has degraded, the temperature will register extremely low.
Keep these points in mind and decide on the sensor replacement period.
Caution: The sensor is extremely thin and may break if pushed with force.

How To Calibrate Your Soldering Iron in Two Steps

A soldering iron is like a piano; once in a while it needs a tuning.
Whether you're using an old iron hand piece or just bought a replacement, calibrating your soldering iron should be a weekly routine.

The biggest setback of all soldering stations is the inaccuracy of its temperature reading over time. As the station and iron get older, the power gets weaker.
The station may have a reading of 700F (371C), but that doesn't mean it's actually that temperature. In fact, you may be soldering at 650F (343C).
Or worse, if you replace your station with a new and advanced hand piece, your station may be set at a temperature when, in fact, it's actually 50 degrees
hotter, which can ruin the PCB or component you're working on.
That's why it's important to calibrate your soldering iron regularly.
How To Calibrate Your Soldering Iron and Heating Element
There are different types of tip thermometers and calibrators out there, but for the purposes of this blog, we are showing you the Hakko FG-100-02.

Step 1: Install The Sensors

Your tip thermometer will come with a set of tip sensors.

These sensors need to be looped onto the thermometer board. Be sure to match the blue and red sides of the sensor wire with the posts that are marked with
blue and red dots on the thermometer board. These sensors are in effect, thermocouples, and polarity matters!
Note, each sensor typically lasts 30 to 50 measurements. The unit will come with ten total, and replacements are relatively inexpensive.

Step 2: Test The Soldering Iron

Set your soldering iron to the desired temperature.

Once the station is up to that temperature, touch the soldering tip against the midpoint of the sensor. Be sure you do not press down against the wire. This
could cause the wire to stretch which will create erroneous readings.

Keep the soldering iron pressed against that sensor until the thermometer finishes calibrating. Once the temperature of the thermometer stops moving
upward, you will see an accurate reading of your soldering station and iron temperature.
After the soldering iron has reached the set temperature and stabilized, rest the tip flat on the sensor and apply a little solder to create a heat bridge. Keep the
tip in contact with the sensor until the peak reading is achieved. It is best to repeat this 2 or 3 times to ensure you receive similar peak readings to be sure you
are measuring correctly. What you will see on the digital display of the tip thermometer is an accurate reading of your soldering irons tip temperature.
