    Calibrating a YiHua 939D

    I cannot figure out how to the calibration should work on my YiHua 939D. I thought it would have a dial that you could turn to raise or lower the temperature so it matched the display, but it has a push button. I have not tried it since I did not want to get it out of calibration with no way to get it back. I have searched the 'net multiple times but don't see anything about how to calibrate it.

    Does anyone know what the right procedure is for calibrating it?

    It doesn't need calibrating. There will always be a difference between the shown temperature which is the thermocouple and the tip which isn't completely in contact with the heating element. The actual temperature does not matter just the value at which it melts solder.

      diff,
      Yes, you are definitely right, no question about that. But.... Since it does have a calibration button on it, I'd like to know how it works. Curiosity is a curse... and a blessing.

        You'll need a HAKKO FG-100 or a clone or similar to measure the temperature at the tip.

          Or you could just find the exact value at which your solder melts and approximate that way what your +-% is. Example, I usually buy Harris rosin core lead-free which melts at about 430-450f and I just make sure my tip is polished and go for it.

            Post a pic of the "button" it doesn't make sense for the 936D models out there. I see no pushbutton on them.
            Or post a pic of your control board, I've seen two trimpots on it for calibration, or a hole on the front panel for cal.

              AcuRite 5 in 1 temperature sensor replacement repair
              by CapLeaker
              Got a new victim:

              AcuRite 5 in 1 Iris outdoor weather station not updating the temperature / humidity anymore. The original sensor is a SHT21. Also there are identical other sensor manufacturers. I chose the HTU21D to replace the original SHT21. Both have identical specs. I've had two failure modes with these sensors.
              A: outside temp stuck at -40? It's cold here at times in Canada, but not that cold!
              B: stuck at some temperature and maybe updating once in 12 hrs or so.

              Easy solution is to go to AcuRite website and purchase the sensor. Right?...

              Temperature to remove chips from motherboard
              by asdas09
              What temperature with the heat gun should be use to remove large and small chips from the laptop and mobilephones motherboard? My problem is that the chips not easily remove from the motherboard, example 380°C degrees. I don't know if there is a difference with the devices that the temperature is not stable with them even it shows the right temperature, what should it be? I don't know if I should use higher temperature but the risk of destroying other components?

              I have device Sugon 202. I'm used also normal flux and rosin flux.

              ISL95880HRTZ desoldering temperature
              by Dreigas
              Hello,

              I bought from China ISL95880HRTZ (3+1+1 Voltage Regulator with Expanded ICCMAX Register Range Supporting IMVP8 CFL/CNL CPUs) chip, which I think is not the original one, but anyway, I tried to resoldering it with a 380C hot air station. Seems soldering is pretty good, but the laptop doesn't work (it worked before, but still had some problems with power delivery).
              Is there any big chance, that they sent me two fake ISL95880HRTZ chips or did I just use too big temperature for desoldering? I will try with another chip, but I can't find any info about the maximum desoldering...

              9V relay temperature 40C
              by jm1234
              Hi, I'm seeing one 9V relay having temperature 40C on its 9V (primary) side. Does that seem right? I switched 2 relays on that board and the temperature was the same (on the same position), so I'm sure it's not a faulty relay. I measured voltage on that relay and it was 9.5V DC, so that looks good. I don't see any other relay on that board having that kind of temperature and they have 9V on them too.
              I thought maybe the transistor that is switching this relay keeps switching on/off, so I also checked for AC and there was almost none: 0.3V using mV range. No steady frequency was shown, but...

              EuropAce EWC 3108 Wine Chiller - Seems like no temperature sensor input
              by beetle1303
              Received this dual doors dual temperature control wine chiller with some unusual issues:
              1) On powered up, all the electronics seemed to be working properly - lights, temperature settings, current temperature, etc, all displayed correctly. But sometimes both zones will get chilled, sometimes upper zone only, and sometimes lower zone only. The temperature displays will show the correct temperature as it chilled (I placed a stand-alone thermometer inside and they compared correctly)
              2) However, the chilling does not stop at the set temperature.
              3) When both zones are chilling,...
