Product Usage Instructions

Height Adjustment
The PHBS Support allows for adjustment of the height between the PCB and the Heating Area of the Preheater Unit.

To change the height, follow these steps:

  1. To raise the support, hold the base and pull up.
  2. To lower the support, press the button and push down.
  3. Choose one of the 3 positions (Low level 28 mm, Medium level 38 mm, High level 48 mm) that suits your working needs.

Fast PCB Replacement

The PHBS Support allows for fast and easy replacement of PCBs of the same batch.

Follow these steps:

  1. Loosen one sliding guide, pull it back, and lift out the PCB.
  2. Position the new PCB and tighten the sliding guide knobs.

PHBS support lets replace PCBs of the same batch fast and easily. Use the sliding guides to change the PCBs.

Removing the PCB
Loosen one sliding guide (1), pull it back (2) and lift out (3) the PCB.

Placing another PCB
Position the new PCB (4) and tighten the sliding guide knobs (5).

Adjustable Slot Clamp for PCB Fixation
Use the adjustable slot clamp to fixate the PCB in place.

Reworking Large PCBs
If you need to rework large PCBs that are larger than the support or thicker than 3mm, follow these steps:

  1. Remove the screw covers and screws from both guides.
  2. Place the PCB on the 4 rubber caps.

Setting Thermocouples Function

Select Thermocouples from the Work mode menu to set them up. The thermocouples (TC) can work in three different ways depending on what is needed.
Control: the unit maintains the selected temperature.
Protection: the Heater Unit stops if the TC reaches the selected temperature.
Info: the TC temperature is shown on the work display.
The TC1 is always working in Control mode for the Temperature mode as well as for Profiles mode. The temperature of each TC can also be selected from the work display.

Recommended Guidelines

  1. Place the control thermocouple as near as possible to the component being worked on.

  2. If there are any sensitive components, use a thermocouple as protection.
    You can select the protection temperature in the thermocouples menu. If the selected temperature is reached, the Heater Unit will stop the process and a warning message will be shown.JBC -PHBE-9KB -\(100V\) -Preheater -Set -FIG

  3. We don’t recommend exceeding ramp-up rates over 3 – 4 °C / sec (5 – 7 °F / sec) so as to  reduce the risk of thermal stress on the PCB.

Work Mode

Temperature Mode:
Select Temp. mode from the Work mode menu. In this mode, the heater unit maintains the selected temperature for the TC1 thermocouple as long as the other TC’s do not reach the control/protection temperature limit.

JBC -PHBE-9KB -\(100V\) -Preheater -Set -FIG \(17\)

Working within the Temperature Mode the maximum heating rate value (Max Rate) can be defined (1).

This function allows you to set a maximum value for the temperature increase per second when heating. The maximum heating rate value can be set between 0.1ºC/s and 2.0ºC/s (2) or “None” if this function is not desired.

JBC -PHBE-9KB -\(100V\) -Preheater -Set -FIG \(19\)

Power Mode:
Select Power mode from the Work mode menu. In this mode, the heater unit maintains the selected power as long as the thermocouples do not reach the control/protection temperature limit.

JBC -PHBE-9KB -\(100V\) -Preheater -Set -FIG \(20\)

Profile Modes
Select Profile Mode from the Work Mode Menu. In this mode the heater unit regulates the temperature of the TC1 thermocouple according to the selected profile as long as the other TCs do not reach the control/protection temperature limit.

Teach Profile
For repetitive jobs it is also possible to run customized profiles without the thermocouple (TC). In order to do so, the Teach profile mode has to be executed before running any profile. It can be executed from the Work mode menu if the Profiles mode is selected. The first time, the thermocouple must be connected. Once the profile has been run to the end, the system has all the process data which you can save. Once it is saved, you can run this profile without connecting the thermocouple (TC). The heating process will be the same as long as the same working conditions are respected. The profiles which already have the data from the Teach profile are marked with this symbol These profiles can be run either with or without the Thermocouples. It can be chosen from the Profiles mode work screen:

Profile Editor
The Profile editor can be opened from the main menu or from the Profiles mode work screen by pressing the ‘OK’ button. In this mode, you can edit as many as 25 profiles of temperature.

JBC -PHBE-9KB -\(100V\) -Preheater -Set -FIG \(24\)

JBC Predefined Profiles
There are 3 profiles predefined by JBC: A, B and C. The difference between them is the number of steps: 2, 3 or 4. The thicker your PCB is and the more layers it contains, the more steps are needed to obtain gradual warming. Predefined profiles use the low position of the Support. These profiles are not modifiable but they can be used as templates to create your own profiles.

Update the Station Software

  1. Download the JBC Update File from www.jbctools.com/software.html and save it on a USB flash drive. (Preferably one with no other files).
  2. Insert the USB flash drive into the console. The icon ****is displayed while updating

Working with Pedal
Press the pedal to start heating and press again to stop as if it were the button on the console. Once the Work Mode is set, the Heater Unit can work without the console using the pedal.

Maintenance

Before carrying out maintenance or storage, always allow the equipment and the support to cool down.

  • Check periodically that the Pre Heater and the Support are clean – especially the support sliding guides axes.JBC -PHBE-9KB -\(100V\) -Preheater -Set -FIG \(33\)
  • Use a damp cloth when cleaning. Alcohol can only be used to clean the metal parts.
  • Only if it is absolutely necessary and if cleaning with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is not enough, it is recommended to use a scraper to remove dirt in the glass area.
  • Replace any defective or damaged parts. Use original JBC spare parts only.
  • Repairs should only be performed by a JBC authorized technical service.
  • Replace a blown fuse as follows:

JBC -PHBE-9KB -\(100V\) -Preheater -Set -FIG \(34\)

Remove the fuse holder by turning the holder counter-clockwise with a flat head screwdriver.

Remove the worn fuse and and replace it with a new one. Reinstall the fuse holder into the preheater by screwing it in clockwise.

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 PCB preheating. Incorrect use may cause a fire.
  • The mains cable must be plugged into approved bases. Make sure that it is properly grounded before use. When unplugging it, hold the plug, not the wire.
  • The temperature of accessible surfaces may remain high after the unit is turned off. Handle with care.
  • Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is on.
  • Do not cover the ventilation grills. Heat can cause inflammable products to ignite.
  • Heat can cause inflammable products to ignite even when out of sight.
  • Be careful with the remains of liquid tin. In contact with the skin, it can cause burns.
  • Avoid flux coming into contact with skin or eyes to prevent irritation.
  • Be careful with the smoke produced when soldering.
  • Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Wear appropriate protection glasses and gloves when working to avoid personal harm.
  • This appliance can be used by children over the age of eight as well as persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lacking 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.
