6 Operating the device
6.1 Temperature decrease (SETBACK) and
automatic switch-off time (AUTO-OFF) with
connected switching holder
The SETBACK time and AUTO-OFF time can be set at the control
unit (WD1, WD2, WD1 M, WD2 M- and WR 3M devices), or are
permanently specified (WSD and WMD devices).
After depositing the soldering tool in the switching holder, the
temperature decreases and/or the system shuts down, depending on
the setting at the control unit. The respective switching behaviour is
displayed in the following table.

Temperature switching behaviour after depositing the soldering tool
in the switching holder
0 0 The soldering tool is switched off in the holder2).
ON 0 The soldering tool is regulated in the holder2) down to STANDBY
temperature3).
0 Time The soldering tool is switched off in the holder2) after the OFF time
has elapsed.
ON Time
The soldering tool is regulated in the holder2) down to the
STANDBY temperature3) and is switched off after the OFF time has
elapsed.
Time 0 The soldering tool is regulated in the holder2) down to STANDBY
temperature3) after the SETBACK time has elapsed.
Time Time
The soldering tool is regulated in the holder2) down to the
STANDBY temperature3) after the SETBACK time has elapsed and
is switched off after the OFF time has elapsed.
1) With the WSD and WMD devices, only the settings 0/0 and ON/TIME are possible, whereby the
respective time values for SETBACK (20 minutes) and AUTO-OFF (60 minutes) are permanently
specified. With these device types, deviating SETBACK times are only possible with the external
input device WCB2.
2) Outside the switching holder, the soldering tool always remains at the set specified temperature.
The holder function is activated after the first time the soldering tool is deposited.
3) The STANDBY temperature must be below the set specified temperature; otherwise the SETBACK
function is inactive.
Note Observe the Operating Instructions of your control unit when setting
and switching the SETBACK and AUTO-OFF functions on and off.
