Ersa Soldering Systems

Ersa, part of the Kurtz Ersa Group, is a prominent manufacturer specializing in high-quality soldering systems. The brand offers a comprehensive range of professional soldering and desoldering tools, from simple hobbyist soldering irons to advanced microprocessor-controlled stations such as the RDS 80 and i-CON NANO.

Known for precision, rapid heating capabilities, and robust reliability, Ersa equipment is widely used in electronic manufacturing, laboratory environments, and professional repair services. Their product line also includes specialized ERSADUR soldering tips, rework stations, and thermal tools built to meet rigorous industrial standards.

• How do I change the soldering tip on my Ersa i-CON station?

  First, switch off the station and let the tip cool down to approximately 40°C (104°F). Once cooled, unlock the bayonet mount, pull out the old tip, fit the new soldering tip with the knurled section, and lock it into place.

• What does the standby function do on Ersa soldering stations?

  Many Ersa stations feature an integrated standby mode that automatically reduces the soldering temperature after a set period of inactivity (e.g., 5 minutes). This saves energy, protects the heating element, and extends the life of your soldering tip.

• How do I calibrate my Ersa soldering station?

  You can calibrate the station if the set temperature and actual tip temperature do not match. Measure the tip temperature using a digital measuring instrument, access the calibration menu by briefly pressing the up and down keys simultaneously, input the deviation, and wait 5 seconds to save the value.

• Can I use third-party tips with my Ersa soldering iron?

  For safety and optimal thermal transfer, Ersa strongly recommends using only original ERSADUR soldering tips and Ersa replacement parts. Modifying the tool or using unauthorized parts can cause heating failure and may void the warranty.
