Advanced Functionalities

It provides detailed graphics of tip temperature and power delivery in real time during solder joint formation for analysis purposes. This helps you decide how to adjust your process or which tip to use to obtain the best quality soldering.
Designed to avoid thermal shock when soldering Ceramic Chip components like MLCC, this new and unique feature allows controlling the heating ramp up rate of the tool to gradually increase the temperature of the component through all the phases of the soldering process. Up to 25 fully configurable soldering profiles can be stored.
Get greater quality and control in your production.
- Manage your whole soldering process remotely in real time.
- For more information see www.jbctools.com/webmanager.html.

Set Up

Peripheral Set Up

After connecting the module, enter the Peripherals Menu and select the port which you want to join with the module.
Select the module from the list of peripheral connections. Remember your first connection is denoted as “a”, the second being “b”, etc. (e.g. MS_a, MS_b,…).
Press Menu or Back to save changes.

Pedal Set Up

Enter the Peripherals Menu and select the port which you want to join to the pedal.
Select the pedal from the list (Note that your first connection is denoted as “a”, the second being “b”, etc. (e.g. PD_a, PD_b,…).
Set the pedal function according to your work needs:

*NB: The same can be applied inversely when continually pressing the pedal and releasing to activate.

Operation

The JBC Most Efficient Soldering System

Our revolutionary technology is able to recover tip temperature extremely quickly. It means the user can work at a lower temperature and improve the soldering quality. The tip temperature is further reduced thanks to the Sleep and Hibernation modes which increase up to 5 times the life of the tip.

USB Connector

Download the latest software from our website to improve your soldering station at www.jbctools.com/software.html.

JBC Web Manager Lite

Manage and monitor as many stations as your PC can handle by using JBCs Web Manager Lite.

Note: Data can be exported to another PC.

Maintenance

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

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’s status.
Maintain the tip surface clean and tinned before 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 a blown fuse as follows:

Pull off the fuse holder and remove the fuse. If necessary use a tool to lever it off.
Press the new fuse into the fuse holder and replace it in the station.

Replace any defective or damaged pieces. Use original JBC spare parts only.
Repairs should only be performed by a JBC authorized technical service.

Safety

WARNING: 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 persons 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.
