JBC CDA Manual-Feed Soldering Station

Packing List

The following items are included:

Features and Connections

Adjustable Stand

Adjust the tool stand to suit your work position.

Cable Collector (Ref. CC1001)

The cable collector keeps the cable away from the work area and prevents that the weight of the cable from disturbing the operator while soldering.

Insert the cable into the clip and then insert into the cable collector. Do not leave the cable longer than necessary to reach the work area freely
The cable collector is flexible. It accompanies and adapts to the movements during the soldering process.

Tip Cleaner
Select the option to suit your needs and improve the thermal transfer of the tip

Removing the Splashguard

Unlock the splashguard.
Lift off.

More cleaning options:

**Inox Wool CL6205***
Stronger cleaning method than brass wool.
**Metal Brush CL6220***
When used carefully, it provides a more thorough cleaning.

Wiper
CL7984 (red) / CL0160* (black)
Tapping:
Tap gently to remove excess solder.
Wiping:
Use the slots to remove remaining particles.

Sponge
S0354
The softest cleaning method. Keep the sponge damp with distilled water when working to avoid tip wear.

Changing Cartridges

To change a catridge safely, unplug the tool or turn off the station before following these guidelines.

Removing
Loosen the screw and remove the cartridge.
- Use PLR195 pliers if still hot.
Inserting Important: Insert the cartridge as far as the mark for a correct connection.
Aligning Align the cartridge tip with the feeder nozzle. Use PLR195 pliers for a correct tip alignment
Fixing

Important: Tighten the screw again. This is necessary for the tool to function. Being careful not to over-tighten.

Compatible Cartridges

The CDA stations work with C250 cartridges and AP250 Solder Feed Irons. Find the model that best suits your soldering needs in www.jbctools.com

Replacing Solder Wire

Removing
Pull out the remaining solder wire from the feed tube. Use a pliers if necessary.
Replacing
Remove the empty reel as shown and fit the new one in the same direction as the spool you removed.
Inserting

Insert the solder wire while pushing the trigger repeatedly until the solder wire appears at the nozzle.
Note: Use solder wire ø0.8 – 1.0 mm with Nozzle Ref. 0019212 and ø1.1 – 1.5 mm with Ref. 0019211

Changing Feeder Nozzle

Unplug the tool or turn off the station before following these guidelines

Unscrew the rear screw, than remove the reel and the solder wire from the nozzle.
Unscrew the two screws on the other side of the solder feeder.
Remove the srews and lift off the cover.
Take out the feeder nozzle and replace it with the new one while holding the three components, identified in the picture, in place.

Reassemble the cover and tighten the three screws.
Note: Do not disassemble these 3 components and it is imperative to hold them in its place.

Regulating Feeder Nozzle

Depending on the cartridge used and the component to be soldered, you can vary the feeder nozzle length up to 10mm.
Adjust the feeder nozzle length and tighten the screw.

Operation

The JBC Most Efficient Soldering System
This revolutionary technology is able to recover tip temperature extremely quickly. This allows the user to work at a lower temperature. As a result, tip life increases by 5.
Through menu settings:

Select temperature levels
Fix one temperature

Parameters

Be careful when using these parameters as they may reduce the tip life if not used properly. Please follow the recommended guidelines:

Station Settings

Tool Settings

USB Connector

Download the latest software from our website to improve your soldering station.

JBC Updater

Update the station software via USB connection:

JBC Web Manager Lite

Manage and monitor as many stations as your PC can handle by using JBC Web Manager Lite. Data can be exported to another PC.

Maintenance

Before carrying out maintenance, always switch the device off and disconnect it from the mains. Allow the equipment to cool down.

Clean the station screen with a glass cleaner or a damp cloth.
Use a damp cloth to clean the casing and the tool. Alcohol can only be used to clean the metal parts.
Periodically check that the metal parts of the tool and stand are clean so that the station can detect the tool status.
Maintain tip surface clean and tinned prior to storage in order to avoid tip oxidation. Rusty and dirty surfaces reduce heat transfer to the solder joint.
Periodically check all cables and tubes.
Replace any defective or damaged pieces. Only use original JBC spare parts.
Repairs should only be performed by a JBC authorized technical service.
Replace a blown fuse as follows:

Pull off the fuse holder and remove the fuse. If necessary use a tool to lever it off.
Insert the new fuse into the fuse holder and return it to the station.

When this warning appears on the main screen Earthing Fuse must be replaced

Safety

It is imperative to follow safety guidelines to prevent electric shock, injury, fire or explosion.
Do not use the units for any purpose other than soldering or rework. Incorrect use may cause fire.
The power cord must be plugged into approved bases. Be sure that it is properly grounded before use. When unplugging it, hold the plug, not the wire.
Do not work on electrically live parts.
The tool should be placed in the stand when not in use in order to activate the sleep mode. The soldering tip or nozzle, the metal part of the tool and the stand may still be hot even when the station is turned off. Handle with care, including when adjusting the stand position.
Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is on.
Do not cover the ventilation grills. Heat can cause inflammable products to ignite.
Avoid flux coming into contact with skin or eyes to prevent irritation.
Be careful with the fumes produced when soldering.
Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Wear appropriate protection glasses and gloves when working to avoid personal harm.
Utmost care must be taken with liquid tin waste which can cause burns.
This appliance can be used by children over the age of eight and also persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience provided that they have been given adequate supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance and understand the hazards involved. Children must not play with the appliance.
Maintenance must not be carried out by children unless supervised.
