content: I have read that you press the up and down buttons together and power on. Then enter the password '722'. I have an ST115 but sadly can not get to it to test this at the moment.

content: This post may also help.......https://www.eevblog.com/forum/reviews/pace-sodrtek-st-45-factory-reset/Pace tend to use the same firmware across this range so it should work on the 115 as well. The schematic is in the manual and there is a link shown next to the processor. 87C51 is used and it has a 93C46 eepromhttp://www.ewdsolutions.com/customer/elwida/customerpages/specpages/ST115Manual.pdfFraser

content: No worries.The ST115E is a good unit. Soldering, desoldering, hot air pencil and vac pick-up hand-pieces may be attached to it.Flipping expensive to buy new as well.Fraser

content: It's got a handpiece connected, which is getting hot, but then the set temp falls rapidly to minimum and the controller goes to OFF, but the handpiece stays hot. I think it's probably got it's memory in a twist.Scrap that, I've just tried a different handpiece and it's behaving itself. I'll do some more work tomorrow, I've got a big pile of assorted Pace stuff that I'm trying to sort out into the most useful combinations but I've run out of energy tonight.

content: Here is the pdf Pace put out on various password removals.It's not an anti theft mechanism, just anti temp/settings tampering. If you reset a password you would be discovered very quickly so it's more a deterrent than anything.
