Tip temperature is always wrong

RoosterCogburn

Hello,

I noticed the tip temperature I measure is quite different than what is set on my TS100.

I did the following measurements with a tip thermometer and a thermocouple on a Fluke DMM. I used a D24 tip and Ralim firmware v2.04.1, but the problem also exists on the latest official firmware and with different tips. I was careful during the measurements to make sure the tip had solder on it and a good connection to the tip tester and the thermocouple was embedded in a ball of solder at the hottest point on the tip.

Set  TipTherm Fluke
300  267         269
350  308         314
400  355         358


As you can see, with the TS100 set at 300C, 350C and 400C, the actual temperature is measured between 33C and 45C lower than it should be. I tried different tips, different official & Ralim firmwares, did a factory reset, ran the temperature calibration etc. Nothing really changes.

I found this video showing a user with a similar problem:

About the same temperature error I get.

ny!

Under the condition of the actual temperature is low, you can try to promote cutting-edge temperature (no more than 40 °) after calibration, through adjust the most suitable machine and the temperature of the welding head is horizontal
