Smart Soldering Iron Quick Start Guide

For a more in‑depth look at the different components of the soldering iron, click here for an exploded diagram.

The color of the Touch-Safe Indicator LED provides information about the status of the soldering iron tip. Note: the soldering iron grip is always safe to touch.

The Smart Soldering Iron works best when paired with a Portable Power Station, which allows fine control of the soldering iron's temperature and other settings.

However, it also works just fine with any power source capable of delivering at least 20W via USB-C PD.

The Smart Soldering Iron is equipped with an accelerometer-based auto safety feature.

If the iron detects that it's been dropped, it will automatically cut power to the soldering tip to prevent damage or injury when it lands.

In Active Mode, the iron is heating to or maintaining the set working temperature. The LED will be pulsing purple or orange, respectively.

After 30 seconds of no movement, the soldering iron enters Idle Mode, a low-power mode that reduces the tip temperature to 200 °C.

When powered by a Portable Power Station, warming from Idle Mode temperature to set temperature will only take a few seconds.

After Idle Mode, Sleep Mode occurs when the iron is completely motionless for a set amount of time.

The iron is off until it's moved again.

It's safe to touch the soldering iron tip in this state as long as the indicator ring is blue.

The sliding power switch has a built-in color indicator for each position:

The LED will initially light up blue, then turn purple and pulse to show that the iron is warming up.

To be safe, keep the cap on your iron when not in use. The inside of the cap is heat-resistant and can be used to cover your iron, even when hot.

When the Touch-Safe Indicator LED turns orange, your iron has reached its set temperature for soldering.

The iron comes set to 350 °C (660 °F) out of the box, but it'll remain at whatever temperature was last set using the Portable Power Station or other USB device.
