Hi folks -
Question for the Weller users here...
Recently picked up an as-is Weller WSD81 soldering station for a good price, and it appeared to be an even better deal with soldering pen/iron and stand included. That said, the pen included reads "For Use With WES51 / WESD51" (no model number included, but I assume that would make the pen most likely a PES51?). From what I can tell (see attached literature), the only real mfg-approved options for use with the WSD81 are the WPS 80 or WP 80, correct? For what's it's worth, the presumed-PES51 definitely locks into the WSD81 just fine...and then proceeds to glow bright orange at even the lowest set-point (150 F). Also, while the WSD81 appears to be in good working order, immediately after adjusting the temperature, the LCD display always reverts back to displaying "043"...is this perhaps some sort of error code, telling me "hey dumbass, unplug the wrong tool, please"? Been hunting for a service manual or a different version of user manual, but so far to little success.
Thanks!
