• How do I upgrade the firmware on my ALIENTEK smart soldering iron?

  To upgrade the firmware, typically power off the device, hold the specified button (usually Button B) while connecting it to a computer via USB-C to enter DFU mode. Then, copy the firmware file (.hex or .atk) into the virtual drive that appears on your computer.

• What power supply is required for the T80/T65 soldering irons?

  ALIENTEK smart soldering irons generally support PD/QC fast charging protocols via a Type-C interface. It is recommended to use a power adapter capable of 9V–20V output. For maximum heating performance (e.g., 100W), use a 20V/5A adapter.

• Why does my soldering iron restart or shut down during heating?

  If the device restarts while heating, it usually indicates the power adapter cannot supply sufficient current for the set voltage. Enter the settings menu to reduce the working voltage (e.g., set to 12V or 9V) or switch to a higher-capacity power adapter.

• Is the ALIENTEK DM40 multimeter rechargeable?

  Yes, the ALIENTEK DM40 series features a built-in rechargeable battery. It charges via a USB Type-C port. Avoid measuring high voltages while charging to ensure safety and accuracy.
