Features and Connections

Adjust. Tool Holder Adjustable Cable Collector (Ref. CC1001)
Adjust the tool holder to suit your work position. The cable collector keeps the cable away from the work area and prevents the weight of the cable from disturbing the operator while soldering. Insert the cable into the cable collector clip. 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.

Operation

JBC’s 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 is five times longer than with other brands.

1. Work When the tool is lifted from the stand the tip will heat up to the selected temperature.
2. Sleep When the tool is in the stand, the temperature falls to the preset sleep temperature.
3. Hibernation After longer periods of inactivity, the power is cut off and the tool cools down to room temperature.

Default PIN: 0105Parameters

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

Maximum Temperature Set the maximum temperature to work with. Default max. temp is 400 °C (750 °F). This is considered high enough to work with most lead-free applications. 60 mm 50 mm| The station temperature range is 90-450 ºC (190-840 ºF). Change the temperature limits when working with less common applications such as low / high melting point soldering (HMP) or plastics (e. g. riveting).| In most cases, working with temperatures over 400 °C (750 °F) can
damage the PCB and its components. Even in short time periods of tip contact with the soldering joint, the flux may not work properly and could seriously reduce tip life. If the solder joint requires more power (e.g. multilayered or high dissipation boards), JBC strongly recommends using
other aids like preheaters.
Minimum Temperature
Set the minimum temperature to work with.
Defaut min. temp. is 200 ºC (392 ºF). This is considered to be a proper starting point for leaded applications. 40 mm
Metronome
This activates a beep sound.
Frequencies vary from 1 to 50 seconds.| Useful for setting a work rate in repetitive jobs. The beep lets you know the length of time the tip must be in contact with the soldering joint.| N/a

Enable/disable pin prompt.| N/a| N/a
Change Pin
Change the default security
PIN number (0105).| The PIN must be entered every time a parameter is changed.| N/a

Tool Settings

Fix One Temperature
Fix a value within the temperature range of the station (90-450 ºC/190840 ºF).| Ideal for soldering more than one component at a specific
temperature. The station will reject any attempt to change
the temperature.| N/a
Temperature Levels Set Similar to “Fix one temp” parameter. In this case, the user can set up to 3 values for different power requirements.| This allows a quick change between 3 different temperatures.
Set them according  to the allowed values for your soldering
applications.| N/a
Sleep Delay
Set the time that the tool will remain at the selected temperature when in the stand before entering Sleep mode.
The tip temperature will then drop to the Sleep temperature.| Because our tools reach the working temperature from the deafult Sleep mode in only a few seconds, this parameter is
preset to 0 min. Once the tool is returned to the stand, the
temperature will automatically drop to Sleep temperature,
extending tip life and avoiding oxidation. Retinning the tip
before placing the tool in the stand will protect the tip and
extend its life.| Setting these parameters to higher values will unnecessarily  accelerate oxidation and shorten tip life especially when working with temperatures up to
450 °C  / 840 °F.
Sleep Temperature
This is the set temperature the tip reaches when returned to
the stand.| Sleep temperatures are set to achieve a balance between preventing oxidation and reaching the working temperature in a few seconds.
Hibernation Delay
Set the time the tool will remain at Sleep Temperature before entering in Hibernation Mode. At this time, the power supply is cut off and the tip remains at room temperature.| This function completely protects the tip from oxidation during long periods of inactivity while the tool is in the stand.
Retinning the tip before placing the tool in the stand also helps prevent oxidation  and extends the life of the tip.| Increasing the default value will accelerate oxidation and shorten the tip life.
Temp Adjustment
It provides a more precise adjustment between the selected temperature and theactual one. CDE-B CP 50 mm 40 mm| Set values within ±50 °C / ± 90 °F to achieve zero error.
JBC strongly recommends the use of TID-A or TIA-A Thermometers to obtain precise readings.| When the user changes the cartridge type, the parameter should be reset to 0 °C/F or to the value needed for this cartridge.
E.g. If a correction of +20 °C / +36 °F is set for a thick cartridge and then the
user changes to a thinner one whitout resetting the temperature adjustment, he
would be working at a higer temperature than needed for this thinner cartridge,
which does not need any temperature adjustment.

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 display 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 the tool holder are clean so that the station can detect the tool’s status.
– Maintain the tip surface clean and tinned before storage to avoid tip oxidation. Rusty and dirty surfaces reduce heat transfer to the solder joint.
– Periodically check all cables.
– Replace any defective or damaged pieces. Only use original JBC spare parts.
– Repairs should only be performed by a JBC authorized technical service.
– When this warning appears on the main display, earthing fuse must be replaced.
– Replace a blown fuse as follows (applies to both the earthing fuse and the main fuse):

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

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 a 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 people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience provided that they have been given adequate supervision or instruction concerning the 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.
