General Specifications and Features

Designed to use with Chinese 858D / 8586 / 8858 / 852 / 878 / 858 hot air guns.
Aims to be a safer alternative compared to existing controllers. For example:
- It will not try to kill you (if you have a GFCI): Mains and earth connection are correctly wired.
- It will not spontaneously combust when left alone: Cuts off the hot air gun heater completely from mains after an idle timeout. Protects even if the unlikely event of TRIAC failure thanks to an internal relay.
- Safe to remove/change hot air gun while powered on: Both mains hot and neutral is disconnected from the front connector when the tool is removed so it is always safe to touch.
Celsius or Fahrenheit display modes.
Works with the stand/holder: You can use the original holder or make your own with magnets.
Cools the tool down when in stand, with set thresholds.
Goes to sleep if left on stand. Selectable intervals or can be disabled. Wakes up automatically when needed.
Selectable power-on temperature and air: It can remember the last used settings as well (default).
Power limit: You can limit the maximum heating power on demand. Useful with under-powered UPSes or generators.
Selectable AC power regulation strategy: Phase angle (more precise) or pulse skip (less noisy).*
Internal temperature sensor used for compensating ambient temperature.
Manual calibration for ambient and tool set temperature.
Controller itself will work with 100-250V AC, 30-80Hz. (but you MUST use a hot air gun that rated for your mains voltage)

Important!

This product is only a controller for specified hot air guns. You must also have the hot air gun itself and its stand for a working system. These are not included. These hot air guns are cheap and may arrive defective from manufacturing or shipping. Defective/incompatible hot air guns may damage the controller and/or trip your GFCI or worse. It is entirely your responsibility to check if the hot air gun is compatible and not defective (use my guide for this). I cannot be held responsible if anything bad happens to controller or you. This is a DIY product. It does not have any certifications. I hope you have been sufficiently warned.
