   • Note: Charge the tool completely for 30 minutes before using it for the first time.
3. Switching on Console/Device:
   • Select the desired tool from the detection list on the console work screen.
4. JBC Temperature Selection:
   • Adjust the temperature using the temperature selection slider on the console work screen.
5. Operation:
   • The soldering system is designed to recover tip temperature quickly, allowing for efficient soldering at lower temperatures.
6. Charging and Hibernation:
   • When the tool is lifted from the stand, the tip will heat up to the selected temperature.
   • When the tool is placed back in the stand, it enters Hibernation Mode and cools down to room temperature while charging.
   • Note: If the tool remains inactive outside of the stand, it will enter Hibernation mode and cool down to room temperature.

Console Work Screen
The work screen shows the graph of the current tip temperature and the power supplied to the tip by moving the graph permantely to the left.

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

• Work
  When the tool is lifted from the stand the tip will heat up to the selected temperature.

• Charging and Hibernation
  When the tool is in the stand enters into Hibernation Mode and cools down to room temperature. While the tool remains in the stand, it charges.

Note: When the tool is lifted from stand the Soldering System acts as follows:

• Hibernation
  When the tool is outside of the stand and remains inactive (no movement), the tool enters into Hibernation mode and cools down to room temperature.

• Turn off
  If the tool has been inactive for a longer period of time, it is turned off.

• Turned On
  To turn the tool on, put it back into the stand.

Note: If desired, the tool can be switched off/on. Tab the Tool Power Switch on the tablet screen (bottom right) to switch it off/on.

Graphics

The work screen shows the automatic recording of the temperature and power graphics. The automatic recording can be paused by tapping the screen in the graphic area. The automatic recording stops also when the tool stops working. While the automatic recording is stopped, you can get the temperature/power value on a certain point by tapping the graph on the tablet screen.

The graphic can be moved to the left and right by swiping the touch screen sideways with one finger. The recording starts automatically as soon as the tool is removed from the stand and the graphic automatically jumps to the end of the last recording and continues with the recording.

Note: When the tool is placed in the stand and is not in use, the temperature/power recording stops. A gap can then be seen in the curve graphics

Tip Cleaner

Select the option to suit your needs and improve the  tip thermal transfer.

Antisplash Membrane with Wiper
Ref. CL0301
The antisplash membrane prevents splashing and keeps the work area clean.
Includes a temperature-resistant wiper for removing excess solder by gently tapping or wiping the cartridge tip.
If the tip is very dirty, JBC recommends first cleaning it with the wiper to remove excess solder and then with the brass wool.

Wiper

• Tapping
  Tap gently to remove excess solder.

• Wiping
  Use the slots to remove the remaining particles.

Replacing Brass Wool

1. Lifting
   Lift and remove the anti splash membrane.

2. Replacing
   Replace the brass wool with a new one. Make sure that the brass wool is on the far left and that there is space for the wiper on the right.

3. Assembling
   Assemble the antisplash membrane in a vertical direction onto the stand.

4. Pressing on
   Press the antisplash membrane down. Make sure that the membrane is correctly inserted all around

Note: The brass wool and the wiper position can be reversed by rotating the antisplash membrane 180 degrees.

Cartridge Exchanger

Save time and change cartridges safely without switching the station off.

1. Removing
   Place the handpiece in the extractor and pull to remove the cartridge.

2. Inserting
   Place the handpiece on top of the new cartridge and press down slightly.

3. Fixing
   Use the holes for fixing the cartridge.

*Important: Insert the cartridge up to the stop. The charging indicator light changes from red to green when the cartridge is properly inserted.

1. Inserting Tabs
   Put the slide-on tabs into the new grip

2. Inserting Handle
   Push the grip with the tabs onto the handle.

3. Removing Tabs
   Hold the grip and pull the tab. Use pliers if necessary.

Maintenance

Before carrying out maintenance, always extract the cartridge and disconnect it from the mains. Allow the equipment to cool down.

• 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 charging works properly.
• Maintain the 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.
• Do not use liquid such as alcohol, thinner or benzene to clean the console.
• Repairs should only be performed by a JBC authorized technical service.

Safety

It is imperative to follow safety guidelines to prevent electric shock, injury, fire or explosion.
