Features and Connections
Height Adjustment
It allows adjustment for 3 heights between the PCB and the Heating Area of the
Preheater.
Low level 28 mm| 
---|---
Medium level 38 mm| 
High level 48 mm| 
To change the height, do as follows:
To raise the support, hold the base and pull up.| To lower the support, press
the button and move down.
---|---
Fast PCB Replacement
The support lets you replace PCBs of the same batch fast and easily. Use the
sliding guides to change the PCBs.
Removing the PCB
Loosen one sliding guide, pull back and lift out the PCB.| Placing another
PCB
Position it and tighten the sliding guide knobs.
| Adjustable slot clamps for
switching PCBs
---|---|---
Reworking large PCBs
Use the 4 caps to place larger PCBs than the PHB-SA Support or over 3mm
thickness.
1. Remove both guides by untightening the 8 screws.| 2. Place the PCB on
the 4 rubber caps.| 
3. The PCB is ready to work.

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.
- ` C```Control: the unit maintains the selected temperature.
- `P`````Protection: the Heater Unit stops if the TC reaches the selected temperature.
- Info: the TC 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 – 4 °C / sec (5 – 7 °F / sec) so as to reduce the risk of thermal stress on the PCB.**
- IPC was founded in the U.S. in 1957 as the Institute for Printed Circuits and is committed to becoming the most recognized international industry association for the electronics manufacturing industry.
**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.
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 run 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 Profiles mode
work screen by pressing the ‘OK’ button. In this mode, you can edit as many as
25 profiles of temperature.
JBC Set 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.
These profiles are not modifiable but can be used as a template to create your
own profiles.
Profiles are set using the low position of the PHB-SA Support (28 mm in height between the PCB and the heating area).

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 st on a USB flash drive. (Preferably one wino other files). -
Insert the USB flash drive to 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 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 is 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.
– 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.
– Do not use the units for any purpose other than PCB preheating. Incorrect
use may cause 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 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.
