I got a new Hakko 951 and am just getting it set up.
I am either confused about sleep mode, or my unit is faulty. Hope you fine people can clear it up for me.
- I turn the unit on, with the iron in the stand. The display counts up to the set temperature (650°F in my case)
- I take the iron out of the holder and soldier a joint.
- I put the iron back in the stand and the display switches to "SLP"
My question is that when I take the iron back out of the stand, the display does not switch back to the temperture, it just keeps saying "SLP".
It says SLP until I switch the power on the base off and then back on again.
Am I missing something? Do I have to touch the iron to a joint to have sleep mode turn off? Is there some setting I missing? Or is my unit just borked?
Thanks!
