I bought the 3A version, and did a similar video to yours on the station. Great job with your video, so I had to watch it all the way through. By the way, it took me a while, but I found out that little black plastic handle with the wire is used to hold down surface mount components and other wires/components that you use the hot air soldering on, so you don't burn your hand.
you have to use three cables connected to the power supply, that way you can have it output power and act as a multimeter at the same time. Adjust the voltage with the output-display switch on, then you turn it to test-voltage and you can use it to measure the voltage.
The soldering iron will turn itself down to a standby temp if the iron doesn't move for a period of time. If you shake the iron you'll hear something rattling around. That is why. The auto Manual switch sets the airspeed based on the temperature setting I never use it. The thing at the end... I was hoping you figured out what it was for because I never did.
Just got my hands on what appears to be a v2 of this very unit. As far as I can see, the only difference is the heat gun comes with a din style plug like the iron and is thus removable where I note yours on this one is not, and indeed mine is the 240v model for use in the UK. How have you found using it? Reliable? Looks and feels very impressive, very excited to get myself a few minutes to test it out properly. Would appreciate the feedback. Great and informative video.
@@kevincrawford2027 that's great to hear. 2 years of frequent use and still going strong, can only hope I have the same longevity with mine. Thanks again for taking the time to reply 😎👌🏼
I was a bit disappointed with mine at first. The iron was not getting hot enough to melt solder and I had to get out my old Radio Shack unit that is so old the insulation is falling of the iron lead. I will give it another shot without 100 feet of extension cord. Maybe that will work.
@@gunedisminder8696 replace the tips for some hakko tips, the soldering station is great i have had one for a few years, but the tips it comes with are not the best, fitting genuine hakko tips, allowed it to work very well and quickly.
@@neuron05 well I got a got air / soldering station, an 853D (not Yihua). I have a Toshiba laptop I thought the GPU might need a reflow, but a second thought, I think the GPU is ok. Thanks
hi kevin great video love all the cool toys you got in the back ground LOL old school nerd. do you still have that station and is it still working? thinking of getting one
Yep still have it. Works good. Hardly a day goes by that I don't use it for something. Really surprised how much I use the heat gun. Only weakness is the power supply part is a little wimpy. Nothing wrong with the supply just low power. I think they make one with a more powerful power supply. Thanks for watching.
Hi, nice video! my station has a little problem, voltmeter indicates less than real, it is out of warranty, do you know how can calibrate it? Thanks in advance
Press both up and down buttons at the same time to enter calibration mode. Set the real temperature value. Press both buttons again to exit calibration.
@@alejandrotouson1829 Apologies for the misunderstanding. Yes, this is for temperature calibration. I guess the voltage calibration would be inside the unit. I must check the accuracy of my unit.
@@alejandrotouson1829 No, sorry - the voltage and current readings on my W.E.R 853D are correct. Only the temperatures were wildly out. I'm sure you will get there in the end.
That is the HEATING Element that goes for the Hot Air Gun. Congrats on your Gift.

What is the difference between 1A, 2A and 3A models?
Thanks for the video. That tool is an IC extractor. It assists in pulling chips without bending pins or discharging static.
Thanks for taking time to tell me what it's for.
Mine arrived yesterday. I'm glad you took the enclosure apart because now I don't feel the need to do so! LOL
I think the boy luvs ya.
thanks for the voltage bits. . I was confused how to make those work
Great video. I think this is the one I’m getting on Amazon today.

You rock! I think I'll buy one of these.

Thanks for the information and another viewer said the item at the end was an IC extractor tool. Thanks for watching.
i do not think it is for ic 's it will break if you try it is to clean the air work gun tip i think
Thanks for the content.
Keep up the good work.

I can't believe how much I use mine. So far so good no problems.

Hey Bro,Thanks a lot for the video, it helped me, gave you a like

I'm having same issue, I had to turn it to 700 to even get solder to melt

OMG... RTFM first!
it doesn't break that quickly
thanks for the help
Don't think you have had the Yihua that long, but have you had a problem with the hot air tool overheating? Thanks
No problems so far. I haven't used it much mostly short runs for heat shrink etc.
@@kevincrawford2027 am hoping to get one or similar, but for a GPU reflow attempt. Thanks 🤓
@@j.lietka9406 What kind of GPU reflow? Thanks

@Kevin Crawford Thanks, Kevin. I'm going for the buy. I really enjoy your videos
@@kevincrawford2027
Is it producing less power than it was originally when you first got it?

Thanks

@@geoffsim9736 no problem, thanks Geoff, i saw a few potentiometer inside but I’m not sure which one is the right haha, I hope you know it

Has it held up good use after a year now?
Yes. I use it quite often. I would recommend it.
How much...👌
