WD 2 / WD 2M

4 Device description

The Weller WD 2 / WD 2M is a versatile soldering station for
performing professional repair work on state-of-the-art electronic
assemblies in the industrial engineering sector as well as repair
workshops and laboratories.
Precise temperature control performance at the soldering tip is
guaranteed by the digital control electronics together with superior-
quality sensor and heat-transfer technology. High-speed measured-
value acquisition provides for maximum temperature precision and
optimum dynamic temperature performance in load situations.
All soldering irons (except for microtools) up to 150 Watts can be
connected to the WD 2. The temperature range is from 50 °C to
450 °C (150 °F to 850 °F). For soldering iron WSP 150: up to 550 °C
(950 °F).
The WD 2M is multifunctional and all soldering irons up to 150 Watts
and microtools (WMRP & WMRT) can be connected; the
temperature range is from 50 °C to 450 °C (150 °F to 850 °F).
The Weller WD 2 / WD 2M soldering station also offers the following
functions:
− Automatic tool detection and activation of corresponding control
parameters
− Digital temperature control
− Option of inputting offset values
− Programmable temperature reduction (setback)
− Standby and lock functions
− Antistatic device design in accordance with ESD safety
− Different equipotential-bonding possibilities on the device
(standard configuration hard earthed)
− Customer-specific calibration function
− USB port for control, evaluation and documentation via PC
4.1 Safety holder
The funnel insert (24) for holding the soldering iron has four different
settings and can be adjusted to the most ergonomic position without
