When there is the possibility that a failure has oc-
curred in the sensor or heater (including the sensor
circuit), is displayed and the power is shut
down.
NOTE:
The sensor error also occurs if the tip is not in-
serted properly.
If the sensor temperature falls below the difference
between the current temperature setting and the
low-temperature alarm tolerance, is dis-
played and the warning buzzer sounds. When the
tip temperature rises to a value within the set toler-
ance, the buzzer will stop sounding.
EXAMPLE:
Assume that the temperature setting is
400°C/750°F and the tolerance 50°C/100°F. If the
temperature continues to decrease and finally
falls below the value indicated below while the
heating element is on, the displayed value starts
blinking to indicate that the tip temperature has
dropped.
will flash, and the buzzer will sound continu-
ously, when the tip is inserted wrong way round, an
incompatible tip is inserted, or a foreign object has
found its way into the connector.
will be displayed if the connector cord is not
attached to the station OR the wrong soldering iron
is connected.
NOTE:
Temperature setting can be changed even during
the display for the temperature and the heat to
the iron is OFF, If HAKKO FM-2025 soldering iron
and tip are connected properly.
CAUTION
The tip can be very HOT. Use the heat-resistant
pad for handling hot tips, but do not hold the hot
portion of the tip, even with the pad, for a long
time.
l How to enter the tip offset value into the
HAKKO FX-952
Example 1
If the measured temperature is 410°C and the set
temperature is 400°C, the difference is -10°C (need
to decrease by 10°C). So, enter the figure which 10
is deducted from present offset value.
1. Check if IRON is selected with the display
window.
If not, press button to switch into IRON .
2. Insert the control card into the slot in the sta-
tion.
• The station is now in the temperature setting
mode. Set the temperature at 400°C. (750°F.).
3. Press the button on the front panel.
• This will set the station to offset value entry
mode.
The hundreds will blink, pressing the or
button to select either 0 or - then press but-
ton.
The tens digit will flash indicating that the offset
value can be changed.
The allowable ranges for offset values are:
°c..........-50 ~ +50°C
°F...........-90 ~ +90°F
If the value outside the above ranges is entered,
the hundreds digit will blink, indicating that the
system has reverted to the beginning of the
mode and procedure must be repeated from the
beginning.
4. Measure the tip temperature with tip ther-
mometer after it is stabilized.
CAUTION
During offset data entry mode with blinking,
the tip temperature is controlled by present off-
set value.
5. Enter the offset value
7. ERROR MESSAGES
In case some errors occur in the IRON not displayed, automatically display will change to show the IRON in
puestion. When the problem is setted, the display will return to show another IRON.
l Sensor Error
l Low-temperature alarm tolerance error
l Heater terminal short circuit error
l Soldering iron error
5. OPERATION
When the station is ON and the card is in the
station, the data entry procedure follows:
lReplacing the tip
Removing and inserting the tip:
Removing the tip: Hold the sleeve assembly to
remove the connector.
Remove the tip from the sleeve assembly.
(If the tip is hot, hold it with the heat-resistant pad.)
Inserting the tip: Hold head part and insert the
tip into the sleeve assembly. Push until the
sleeve assembly touches the ring round the tip;
at this point the tip should not be forced further
into the sleeve assembly.
Put the tip into the connector.
Insert the new tip firmly into the connector. (If the
tip is not properly inserted, will be dis-
played.)
1. Hold the button down for at least one second.
The current temperature setting will be dis-
played, then the hundreds digit will begin to
flash. This indicates that the station has entered
the temperature setting mode.
Continue with the procedure of 3 - 5, above.
2. When the button is pressed for less than one
second, the current temperature setting is dis-
played for two seconds, then returns to show the
actual tip temperatures.

4 Resetting the supervisor/operator control
setting
To change the supervisor/operator control settings,
the procedure is as follows.
l The display will show or when this
mode is entered.
: No offset value can be entered without
inserting the card.
: An offset value can be entered without
inserting the card.
Pressing the or button will change and
.
When the desired setting is displayed, select by
pressing button.
The system will exit the parameter setting mode
and begin heater control.
It is now ready for normal operation.
NOTE:
This function does not work in case the setting
temperature is less than 300°C/570°F.
l Sleep
When this function is activated and the soldering
irons are not used for 15 minutes, the display will
show and the tip temperature goes down
to 200°C/400°F automatically with a buzzer
sound just one time. Then, it enters sleep (stand-
by) mode. To start soldering again at the previ-
ous temperature, press any button among
for IRON 1 or press any buttons among
for IRON 2.
l Auto power shutoff
When it is activated and the soldering irons are
not used for 30 minutes, the power to the heat-
ing element is shutoff automatically and the buz-
zer will sound three times.
When the temperature decreases to
100°C/200°F, the display will show (in
case display is selected). To resume soldering,
cycle the power switch OFF, then ON. The pow-
er will be turned on automatically if you hit any
button before the temperature decreases to
100°C/200°F.
350°C (400°C – 50°C)
Set temperature
Set temperature Low-temperature alarm tolerance
Low-temperature alarm tolerance
OR
650°F (750°F – 100°F)
EXAMPLE:
l When the station enters low-temperature alarm
tolerance setting mode, the hundreds digit be-
gins flashing. Enter and store the value in the
same manner as described in “Changing the
temperature setting.”
l If you enter a value exceeding the allowable
range shown to the left, you will be brought back
to entering a value in the hundreds digit. If this
occurs, reenter a correct value.
l Once the value is stored, the system will auto-
matically sequence to offset free setting mode.
3.Resetting the low temperature alarm tolerance
setting
The unique function alerts the operator when the
sensed temperature drops below a set limit.
Should this occur, an error message will be
displayed, and the buzzer will sound continuously.
When the temperature returns within the allowable
range, the buzzer will stop.
Range of allowable low temperature alarm tolerance
for °C: 30 - 150°C
for °F: 50 - 300°F
Example: When the setting temperature is 350°C
and the low temperature alarm tolerance is 100°C,
buzzer will sound when the tip temperature will
drop over 250°C.

FX-952.'
2. When the button is pressed for less than one
second, the current offset value is displayed for
two seconds, then returns to show the actual tip
temperatures.
The HAKKO FX-952 has the following four parameters:
(1) °C or °F temperature display selection
(2) Power save
(3) Low temperature alarm setting
(4) Supervisor or operator control setting
NOTE:
Power save parameter (2) can be set for Iron 1and Iron 2
respectively. The other parameter (1, 3, 4) settings are
for common between Iron 1 and Iron 2.
