5. Working voltage
The host can be set to obtain any working voltage from the fast charging adapter,
9V\12V\15V\20V (the default setting is 20V). The higher the voltage, the higher the heating
power. Under different working voltages, the working current, power and tin time reference table
is as follows:
Voltage
Current
Power
Tin melting time
20V
>=3.25A
65W

Notice:
1. The T65 smart soldering iron defaults to obtain a working voltage of 20V. If the
maximum output voltage of your adapter is less than 20V, the maximum output
voltage is obtained. For example, if your adapter has a maximum output of 12V,
then get 12V.
2. If your adapter outputs 20V, but the output current is less than 3.25A (that is, the
output power is less than the power required by the soldering iron), and heating

after entering the main UI, the adapter may be powered off and restarted, causing
the screen to restart! (The same is true for other working voltages)
If it restarts when heating occurs, it indicates that the output power of your adapter's current
voltage is not enough for normal operation. Please choose a lower working voltage according to
the adapter's output power. For example, your adapter output: 12V/2.5A, 15V/2A, 20/1.5A, and
the total output power is 30W. Then choose to set the working voltage to 12V.
Setting the working voltage method: press the A&B key at the same time to enter the working
voltage setting in the menu. (Note: When the screen keeps restarting, you should press the
A&B key at the same time when the logo is displayed).
6. Handheld Sensing
The machine has a built-in vibration sensor that can detect vibration and movement.
However, if you hold the host against the table without moving, the vibration is very weak and
may not be detected.

After unpacking, please install it according to the installation diagram.
Note: When inserting the tip of the soldering iron, it is found to be stuck, you can try to
rotate it before inserting it.

After the T65 smart soldering iron is powered on, it displays the logo first, Then it is
prompted to press the A button to enter the main UI (the button heating UI can be set to turn on or
off in the menu. After turning on, the machine will directly enter the main UI). In the button
heating UI, if the A button is not pressed within 10 seconds, it will automatically shut down. In
main UI, which is in a normal working state. The running status can be divided into the following
four types:
Working state (main UI): The soldering iron is heated, and the temperature is constant at
the user's set temperature. If the handle is not used for a period of time (timing 1: sleep time),
it will enter the sleep state.
Sleep state: The soldering iron is heated, and the temperature is constant at the sleep
temperature (the default is 200°). It will exit the dormant state and return to the main UI
when it senses the hand held or presses the button. Otherwise, after a period of time (timing
2: standby time), it will enter the standby state.
Standby state: The soldering iron is not heated. In the same way, it will exit the dormant
state and return to the main UI when it senses a hand held or presses a button. Otherwise, the
temperature of the soldering iron tip will slowly drop, and when it drops to 50°C, it will enter
the shutdown countdown state, and when the countdown ends, it will enter the screen off
state.
Screen off state: The soldering iron is not heating. In this state, the system is running with
low energy consumption, and restarts when it senses a hand held or presses a button.

9. ESD SAFE
When using a fast charging adapter to power the soldering iron tip, there may be induced
electricity. There will be no problem with soldering ordinary components, but some sensitive
components may be damaged. When soldering sensitive components, there are two solutions to
ensure ESD SAFE:
1. Use a fast charging power bank to power the device (recommended).
2. Connect the device to the ground through an adapter board.
STEP:
a) Required materials: 1 power cord, 1 adapter board, 2 C2C cables
b) Cut off the L\N of the power cord and solder the ground wire to the ground pad of the
adapter board.
As shown below:

c) Connect to the power strip, as shown below:
10. Maintenance
When the new tip is used for the first time, it is necessary to heat the tin to 250 °C
first to prevent dry burning oxidation!
When the new tip is used for the first time, there will be a temperature jump
problem, which will stabilize after a few hours of use!
After the soldering iron is used, apply proper tin to the tip of the soldering iron to
prevent oxidation before disconnecting the power supply.
The tip of the soldering iron works normally at a temperature of about 300 to 380 °C.
Do not use it for a long time (more than 420 °C) to avoid the effect of dry burning on
the life of the tip.
Do not force the tip when welding.

If the surface of the tip is not oxidized, use a cloth or other tool to carefully wipe the
surface layer, then heat it to 200 °C and immediately apply tin to the surface to prevent
re-oxidation.
Do not use wet sponge with bright water, semi-dry state is best, otherwise the soldering
iron tip is easy to oxidize.
Do not use flux containing chlorine or excessive acid to avoid corrosion of the surface
