The Weller WXair is a supply unit designed for WX soldering tools. This module provides vacuum and air supply for desoldering and hot air applications. Ensure the device is switched off before connecting it to the power supply. Upon switching on, the device performs a self-test and reads parameters stored in the connected tool.
Device Description and Connections
The rear panel features the mains connection, mains fuse, interface, and footswitch connection. The front panel includes the air connection nipple for hot air tools, the vacuum connection, and the on/off button. Ensure all hoses are securely connected before operation.
Setup and Installation
Place the WXair module on a stable surface. Connect the necessary air and vacuum hoses to the designated ports on the front panel. Ensure the main filter is correctly installed before starting any work, as operating without a filter can cause irreparable damage to the vacuum unit.
Operation
The device is operated via the connected soldering station. Set-point temperatures and fixed temperatures are stored in the tool. The actual temperature will rise to the set-point temperature upon activation. Always place soldering tools in the safety rest when not in use.
Maintenance and Care
Regularly check the main filter for vacuum and replace it if necessary. Contaminated filters must be treated as special waste. Clean the operator panel with a suitable cloth. Seal unused ports with covering caps. Repairs must only be performed by Weller-trained specialists using original spare parts.
Troubleshooting
If there is no vacuum, check the vacuum connection, ensure the desoldering nozzle is not clogged, and verify the pump is functional. If vacuum is insufficient, replace the filter cartridge on the desoldering tool or the main filter element on the soldering station. If there is no air at the hot air tool, check the air hose connection and the main filter.
