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. As a result, tip life increases by 5.

1. Work

2. Sleep

3. Hibernation

Long time in the stand

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

When the tool is in the stand, the temperature falls to the preset sleep temperature.

After longer periods of inactivity, the power is cut off and the tool cools down to room temperature.

Push the sealing plug inside the handle until the sealing plug and handle edges are aligned.

11

Adjustable Stand
Adjust the tool stand to suit your work position.

Cable Collector (Ref. CC1001)
The cable collector keeps the cable away from the work area and prevents that the weight of the cable from disturbing the operator while soldering.

Tip Cleaner

Insert the cable into the clip and then insert into the cable collector. 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.

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

Splashguard
Ref. 0017576 When using the brass wool, it prevents splashing of solder particles.

Antisplash Membrane
Ref. CL7882 Prevents splashing and keeps the work area clean.

Brass Wool Ref. CL6210 Very effective cleaning method. Leaves a small layer of solder on the tip preventing oxidation between cleaning and rewetting.

Parameters

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

Station Settings

Parameter Description

Recommendations

Warnings

Program Version Shows the program version number.

Maximum Temperature Set the maximum temperature to work with. Max. temp by default is 400°C (750°F). This is considered high enough to work with most lead-free applications.
Minimum Temperature Set the minimum temperature to work with. Min. temp. by default is 200ºC (392ºF). This is considered to be a proper starting point for leaded applications.

The station temperature range is 90-450ºC (190-840ºF). 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 to use preheaters.

Recommendations

Warnings

The PIN must be entered every time a parameter is changed.

Tool Settings
Parameter Description
Cartridge Select the cartridge.
Temp Adjust It provides a more precise adjustment between the selected temperature and the current one.

Recommendations
Set values within ±50°C (± 90°F) to achieve zero deviation. JBC strongly recommends the use of TID-A or TIA-A Thermometers to obtain precise readings.

Warnings
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 the C245966 (thick type) and then the user changes the cartridge for a C245030 (which is thinner) without resetting, they would be working at a temperature of +20°C (+36°F) lower for the C245030 which does not need any temperature adjustment.

15

Tool Settings
Parameter Description
Temp Level Set The user can set up to 3 different temperatures.

Recommendations
Switch between 3 different leves by just one “click”. Set them according to the allowed values for your soldering applications.

Warnings

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 the 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.

Sleep Temp This is the set temperature the tip reaches when returned to the stand.

The 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 the 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.

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 screen with a glass cleaner or a damp cloth.

Clean periodically

– 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 status.

– Maintain 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.

– Periodically check all cables and tubes.

– Replace any defective or damaged pieces. Only use original JBC spare parts.
– Replace a blown fuse as follows:
