The following items are included:
Features and Connections
Preheater Unit
Console
Support
Height Adjustment
Nano PCB Support allows adjustment for 3 heights between the PCB and the
Heating Area of the Preheater unit
To change the height to the highest level, proceed as follows:
- Remove the 4 clamp knobs and the 4 black rubber caps.
- After removing both guides, turn 180° the guide supports.
- Place the guides, the rubber cups and adjust the Sliding clamp knobs again.
Fast PCB Replacement
Nano PCB Support lets you replace PCBs of the same batch fast and easily. Use
the sliding guides to change the PCBS.
Removing PCB
Loosen one sliding guide, pull back and ift out the PCB.
Placing another PCB
Position it and tighten the sliding guide knobs.
Work Screen
The Console offers an intuitive user interface that provides quick access to station parameters.
Available languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese,
Japanese, Chinese, Russian, and Korean.

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 IC temperature is shown on the work screen.
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 screen.
Recommended Guidelines
- Place the control thermocouple as near as possible to the component being worked on.
- 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.
- IPC does not recommend exceeding ramp-up rates over 3 – 4C/ Sec (5 – 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.
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 Tor the temperature increase per second when heating The maximum heating rate value can be set between 0.1°C/s and 2.0°C/s (2) or “None” if this function is not desired.
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. 
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 you running 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. 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 Profíles mode
work Screen by pressing the OR’ button. In this mode you can edit as many as
25 profiles of temperature. 
JBC Set Profiles
Their are3 profiles predefined by JBC: A, Band 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. These
profiles are not modifiable but can be used as a template to create your own
profiles.

By pressing Graphics in the main MENU, the temperature of TC1 thermocouple and
power figures in real time are displayed.

Files
Export Graphics
Insert a USB flash drive into the USB-A connector tO save your soldering
process in csv format.
Export/ Import Profiles
Insert a USB flash drive into the USB-A connector to export/ import profiles.
Update the Station Software
- 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).
- Insert the USB flash drive to the console. The icon is diplayed while updating.
Working with Pedal
Press the pedal to start heating and press again to stop as if it was 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.
- 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.
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 fire.
- The main 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 skin, ít 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.
- The 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 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.
