Product catalog summary
Safety Precautions:
The document highlights essential safety measures for using the GT90/GT120 soldering station. Users should avoid contact with metallic parts, use the cartridge removal pad, and ensure the system is off when changing cartridges. It is important to operate in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable items, and connect to grounded outlets to prevent electric shock. Supervision is required for individuals with reduced capabilities.
WEEE Directive:
Users are advised to recycle the GT90/GT120 station and power adapter per the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (2012/19/EU) instead of disposing of them as unsorted waste. European users should contact their OK International distributor for recycling options.
System Setup:
Instructions include inserting the hand-piece into the port, connecting the power adapter, and assembling the cartridge heater and tip. Users are cautioned against touching the tip without the removal pad.
System Specifications:
The GT90/GT120 operates between 200 to 450°C (392 to 842°F) and is suitable for ambient temperatures of 10 to 40°C (50 to 104°F). It features a single port, 90W or 120W power input, and a 2.5” monochrome LCD display. Standby and sleep timers are included.

GT systems are designed to the latest J-STD-001 specification and do not need to be calibrated for the following reasons: • Programming during the production process has been completed to account for any drift in component characteristics and is under microprocessor control. Heating element for GT cartridges and tip heater cartridges have been designed and controlled to meet the IPC requirement of ±10⁰C temperature delta. The life of the RTD temperature sensing element embedded in the cartridge is much longer than the cartridge itself. For tighter internal specification needs, the GT systems...
