Control Unit; Technical Data - Weller WAD 100 Manuel D'utilisation

1. Description

1.1 Control Unit

The WAD 100 is a hot air station that features a wide variety of functions. As a result of the
use of a microprocessor, the unit is straightforward and easy to use. The digital control
electronics ensure optimal regulation behaviour with different soldering tools. The soldering
tools themselves are detected automatically and assigned the appropriate control parameters.
Excellent dynamic behaviour is made possible by the particularly powerful 24 W heater
elements. The soldering tool is thus of universal application.
The required temperature can be set via 2 buttons (Up/Down). Temperatures from 50ºC -
550ºC (122ºF - 999ºF) are realisable with hot air soldering tools. When a soldering iron is
connected, the adjustment range is automatically limited to max. 450ºC (842ºF). Required
and actual values are displayed digitally. A flashing red LED indicates when the selected
temperature is reached, this LED serves as an optical regulator monitor. The continuous
illumination of the LED indicates that the system is warming up.
The air flow is controlled via a finger operated switch integrated in the handle. The flow rate
can be adjusted continuously over the range from approx. 0-10 l/min via a control valve. The
hot air output is free of static charge.
Various methods of equipotentially bonding the soldering iron bit, a zero voltage switch, and
the anti-static design of the control unit and soldering tools supplement the high standard of
the unit. The possibility of connecting an external input unit extends the functional diversity
of this hot air station. Additional functions including timing and interlocking can be realised
using the WCB 1 and WCB 2 Input Units, available as optional extras. The extended features
of the WCB 2 Input Unit include an integrated temperature measurement unit.
1.2 Soldering irons
HAP 1: 100 W hot air soldering tool with integrated finger switch. Suitable for soldering
and desoldering surface mounted components. A wide range of nozzles makes
the tool of universal application.
LR 21: Our "standard" soldering iron. With a power of 50 watts and a wide spectrum
of soldering tips (ET series) this soldering iron can be used anywhere in the
electronics sector.
WAD_100 25
MLR 21: With its 25-watt power and slim design, this micro-soldering iron is especially
GB
well-suited for fine soldering work with a low heating requirement.
MPR 30: The Weller Peritronic MPR 30 soldering iron has an adjustable working angle
of 40° to enable an individually ergonomic soldering process. The 25-watt
power and slim design makes this soldering iron suitable for fine soldering
work.
WTA 50: The unsoldering tweezers WTA 50 were specially designed for unsoldering
SMD components. Two heating elements (2 x 25 watts), each with its own
temperature sensor, ensure constant temperatures at both ends.
LR 82: High-performance 80 watt soldering iron for soldering work with high heat
requirements. The soldering tip is attached by a bayonet catch to ensure correct
position when using different tips.
WSP 80: The soldering iron WSP 80 is characterized by its capacity for reaching the
soldering temperature quickly and precisely. Its slim design and heating power
of 80 watts makes universal usage possible - from extremely fine to high-
temperature soldering work. Work can be continued immediately after switching
soldering tips, since the temperature is reached again quickly.
See "Accessories" for additional tools.
