This station in my opinion is a powerful and good quality staff . For this station you can use more tools in same time and the tips are very cheap . Nice work .
While the interface is inexcusably obtuse, the reason for the key is obvious. For industrial settings they need to make sure you can’t accidentally change the settings on the line. Think about it: Some janitor could press the button and cause the factory to spit out thousands of defective products with cold solder joints or cooked capacitors.
@@emmettturner9452 Employees do stupid stuff, like turn the temeratures up so the iron is damaging parts or lifting pads off the PCBs. The Pace equipment actually has a real Ace keys like those used on vending machines to change settings or even to turn on the station itself. I delete that keyed switch on the Pace stuff all the time. I got a good deal on a pace SX100 desoldering iron, and station, and it's much better than my Hakko desoldering gun.
Hello! I agree I would fire a guy that makes such a shitty interface. For some reason, my display changed to fahrenheit by itself, and I'm trying to set it back to Celsius. The interface is like an alarm clock of the late 70s. Hey guys @ Hakko, we are in 2020!. If it's too expensive to add a decent display, then ask for 10 dollars more per station and please make a good product.
Holding the * or the # on my FM-203 does NOTHING. The *S* keeps blinking and the display reads 750. If I press the D key, the display reads OFF and the D starts blinking, but I still can't change the temperature! PLEASE HELP! I swapped the plugs on the front because I wanted to use the FM-2032 instead of the FM-2027 and the display read *C - E* and gave a long loud _BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!_ until I switched them back. Is this thing broken?
Is it possibile for the user to upgrade their fm203 firmware to v.3.1 for the fm2030 heavy duty iron... it's not hard to swap out a chip from a socket or replacement of a through hole soldered chip takes patience and a little skill and good Flux and wick a quality lead tin solder or solder paste.. chances are if your a 3rd party repair tech and you bought expert grade equipment you would have the skills required to change out a 40 pun dip prom chip or IC
unfortunately, Firmware upgrades aren't as easy as changing out an IC, Hakko uses proprietary firmware that we will rewrite to the board using a specific software writer, and only will this be done when necessary. This has a specific item number in our system FM203-UPGR the upgrade does have a cost associated of $239.97.
Hello. I bought my hakko fm 203 With standard handpices. I bought a few tips t12 but when the temperature reached then temperature on display is jumps low and up. The reason of this can be it, i need tips t15? Thanks.
Wondering if you realize what is or was the problem, Because I need to buy this station, I said enough with my old Genuine Hakko 936 still strong like a dragon but old and my electric bill is high. is your tip OEM?
Offset value is less tightening the tolerance on the Set temperature; for example, if you were to set your unit at 750'F and then took the iron temperature and found it to actually be 743'F, you would input a positive offset value of +7'F, which will tell the system to increase the tip temperature and will bring the Actual temperature of the soldering tip closer to the " SET " temperature, The same applies for a negative offset. If you were to set the temperature to 750'F but measure 755'F, you would input a -5' offset to bring it closer.
The unit will require a sleep signal which is sent from the sleep holder to the base unit when the iron is put into the Cradle. A microswitch on the backside of the sleep stand is actuated which sends the signal for the corresponding iron to the base unit. unfortunately, the FM-2027 handpiece does not detect thermal load such as your FX-1001 handpiece which when left in its " undetected" state for a period of time will trigger a sleep mode. If the user does not have a sleep stand it is best that they Turn the specific Channel off when not in use. This can be achieved by pressing and holding the Corresponding Channel button ( D or S ) that will turn the channel off until the process is repeated to turn it back on. Or if the unit will be left for a longer period of time the user can turn the unit off and back on when needed.
All these years later and you still haven't updated the interface. Yet you still charge a premium. Its going to make customers look for a different product just because the interface is so bad.

This video was so helpful to me. Thank you so much!!!!! :):):):):):):)
Glad to hear you found it helpful, thank you for the feedback 🙂
Interface is so difficult ..make it simple why we need a key? If there is no fuel there?

I can't thank you enough man.

please put your eyes on quick stations hakko
Thanks alot

people want 3 butons 2 temp up/down, one power on/ of
I suggested hakko make a new firmware for update their interface... make it more user friendly...
yup the display is kinda old style

very bad interface. if I am soldering, I can not wait till I choose options on the display and increase temp.
why...whyyyyy 1980 clock display? when hakko uses oled with information in it? same diplay since 10 years ago
OLED will burn in with always-on industrial use so I can excuse the 7-segment standard-LED display but the rest of the UI could use some work.
what is offset value also how you make it go to sleep without the iron holders?

where are the neu product´s Hand soldering with nitrogen!
13:53 ta-da 😁

Interface is shameful, ruins whole product
