Hot desoldering plate 946C temperature calibration

Customer:

I have a Hot desoldering plate 946C. It’s off by about 25 degrees. Is there a menu guide or a way to calibrate it?

To calibrate the Hot Plate, you will need to open it to access the mainboard. On it you will find a potentiometer (small blue cube with a cross inside). Using a small screwdriver, unscrew the potentiometer until the temperature is correct. Make only very small turns (a couple degrees) at a time to see how the temperature changes.
