How we checked
The manufacturer datasheet (metcal.com) confirms this exact model as the "Metcal PS-900 60W SmartHeat Soldering System" and gives verbatim specs: Output Power 60 Watts Max (power delivered to the handpiece; separate from the 90 Watts Max input consumption), Idle Temperature Repeatability ±1.1°C in still air, Input Line Voltage 100-240 VAC, a "burn proof, ESD safe" handle cord, "SxV Soldering Tips," and a single PS-HC3 hand-piece / PS-PW900 supply — a fixed-temperature SmartHeat unit with no display or setpoint dial. The gotopac retailer page corroborates the same model ("PS-900 Analog Soldering System"), a Regular Price of $352.00 (matching Metcal's own store price of $352.00), "SxV Series Solder Tips," and a one-handpiece includes list. RS Delivers' auto-populated fields ("Number of Outputs 5", "Display Type LCD", "471°C") were rejected as data-entry errors that contradict the manufacturer datasheet, so channels=1 and display type=none; heatUpTime, an adjustable temp range, and control-unit weight are not disclosed anywhere and are left blank.
