Station

Pleasantly pleases the approach of the manufacturer who made this model in metal. This allows you to work with Lukey 852D + FAN not only at home, but also in laboratories. The metal case allows to protect all vital parts of the device from anything that could damage the station both from the outside and from the inside.

Many users are pleased with the presence of the handle from above. This solution allows you to easily move the station not only on the work surface, but also in any other room. Moreover, the station is antistatic, which is also a huge plus of this device. In order to remove the charge from it, it is necessary to connect to a good grounding loop.

The station goes without compressor type, which allows it to be light and mobile. Moreover, the apparatus does not have a transport bolt. What does this mean? You can start working immediately, without any preliminary preparation. Although no one has canceled the study instruction manual.

Design

The soldering station, whose price fluctuates within five thousand Russian rubles, captivates many by its design. In some reviews, the station is called a green-eyed brunette. Why such a comparison?

The building at the station is made in dark colors. Accordingly, she is a brunette. She has two green eyes, like Lukey 702. These are monitors that can be easily found on the front of the device, on the left. These are small monitors, which reflect the "soul" of the device - the main performance indicators. In the upper one, the temperature of the hair dryer is displayed, and in the lower one - the parameters of the soldering iron.

By the way, if we talk about temperature, then it can be regulated with the help of special rotating variable resistors, which in the common people call torsions. On the apparatus there are three: two for working with a thermofan and one for a soldering iron. The temperature display is displayed on the screens, and the adjustment is accurate to one degree Celsius. The third krutilka regulates the airflow of the thermofan.

There are two buttons on the front of the device. Usually they are green. And as with resistors, they are responsible for turning the soldering iron on and off and the thermofan respectively. Buttons are made of plastic. They sufficiently protrude above the surface of the front of the soldering station to provide complete comfort when operating.

The right side of the station is not remarkable. From below there are small metal legs.

At the left, the thermo-air station has two small holes, which are designed to fix the holder of the hair dryer with special bolts. During a break in work, the hair dryer can be put on this holder. It is curious that at the same time it will start to cool down and turn off, and as soon as the hair dryer gets into hands, that is, leaves the stand, it will start to heat up again. How is this possible?

Such a moment became possible thanks to a special sensor, a reed switch, which recognizes the presence of thermo foam in the stand and sends a signal to the microprocessor system, which turns off the hair dryer. This unique solution allows you to perform a large amount of work without being distracted by tuning and so on.

Dimensions

In terms of numbers, the Lukey soldering station weighs about 4 kilograms. Its dimensions are also pleasant - 18.7 by 13.5 by 24.5 centimeters. Such indicators guarantee full comfort from using the device.

As stated earlier, the device has a pen. It is so well-made that it does not cause any concern during the station's transfer, even over considerable distances.

Hairdryer

Soldering station Lukey 852D + FAN also has a hair dryer made in the form of a thick handle. It has a very comfortable shape and is pleasantly in the hand. Her engine is at the bottom of the handle. No handsets or anything else have a device.

Power is supplied from the station using a non-removable cable. This is often quite acutely perceived by users. But since you can not change anything, you just have to be careful.

As the air flow is regulated, its tone also changes. At a minimum speed, it is almost not audible. At maximum noise, irritation does not cause. This surprises many.

By the way, when turning off the heat gun it is recommended to put it on the maximum value. What for? This will allow the device to serve its owner as long as possible. To be more precise, this will save the heating element. The fact is that the thermofan is controlled by a special microcontroller, which gradually chills its metal spiral. This process is reflected on the upper monitor up to 50 degrees.

As for the temperatures, then, as mentioned above, they are regulated by a special resistor from 100 to 480 degrees. These are excellent indicators that say that you can work on the device with both small equipment and large objects. You can check which indicator is displayed by using a separate screen.

Soldering iron

Lukey hot air soldering station deserved its love and thanks to the soldering iron in its kit. Its ceramic heating element not only guarantees a fast and accurate temperature set, but also saves the board from the static voltage on them.

The temperature range of the soldering iron is from 200 to 480 degrees. The power of this part of the station reaches 50 watts. Thanks to these parameters, the machine can be used for various types of solder.

Lukey 852D + FAN soldering iron quickly heats up and can reduce its temperature with the same speed. And as almost instantaneously, and one degree, depending on the current settings.

A pleasant addition to almost all air-to-air stations of this Chinese brand is a sponge for cleaning stings. In order to use it fully, you just need to buy a special solution. True, some use ordinary water for this purpose.

The soldering iron is connected to a separate connector from the bottom of the control unit itself. This means that, if necessary, it can be replaced by any other. However, if you use a soldering iron for its intended purpose and be neat at the same time, the need to replace it will be postponed for a long time.

Key and attachments

Thanks to these details, which are included in the kit of the soldering station with a Lukey dryer, it can be used not only for warming up the boards. Thanks to the nozzles, it is possible to form various plastic products.

Features

Let's sum up. What is so special about this soldering station? The price of this device is out of the question, so let's start with the most important:

  1. Temperature. It is thanks to its wide range, as well as fast dialing and maintenance, that the station can be used for both radio amateurs and at a more professional level.
  2. Ceramics. The use of this material in the production of the stove significantly increased the potential of the soldering iron and became a protection not only for the boards, but also for the worker himself.
  3. Voltage regulator. The accuracy of this model is the key to success.
  4. Antistatic, low-voltage power supply and galvanic isolation. These three aspects guarantee total comfort and safety while working with the machine.
  5. Cooling system. Although there was a talk about the temperature, then, as the manufacturer realized the possibility of cooling the dryer, it can not but cause a satisfied smile and admiration.
  6. Memory. As in Lukey 702, the monitored hot air soldering station has the ability to memorize the last temperature regime.
  7. Sound. The device is virtually silent even when it is on. Vibration is also not observed.

These features, of course, are indisputable advantages and cause a desire to acquire it sooner.

Reviews

The hot-air soldering iron practically does not vibrate. All connections occur through the cable, and in case of inaccurate use, they can easily be replaced. Many reviews often emphasize these points as the main advantage of the device.

Among other positive aspects, the following can be noted:

  1. High quality of materials and their wear resistance. Due to these properties the station serves for a long time, and there are practically no cases of failure of a hair dryer.
  2. Ceramic heater for soldering iron. This feature makes it possible to quickly heat a hollow burr, without any problems replacing it if necessary. Although the station is not positioned as antistatic, according to user feedback, it is this version of the soldering iron that minimizes the risk of static damage to microcircuits.
  3. The metal housing protects the station from damage in case of inaccurate use. And metal, in contrast to the best heat-resistant plastic, tolerates the effect of heat without any losses. Therefore, if you forget the soldering iron included on the maximum (480 degrees) on its surface, this will not lead to problems.

Judging by the feedback from users, if you need a practical and inexpensive solution that can cope with professional tasks, then the soldering station of this model will be the best choice for the "price / quality" ratio.

Conclusion

When choosing a soldering station, follow the basic criteria that will be important for the performance of your work. If the strength of the case is unimportant for you, then you can buy the Lukey 702 model. Otherwise, if you pay very little, buy Lukey 852+, which is strong and resistant to damage, as well as a large resource of all working elements.
