Operation
Solder Aplication
The soldering tip must be properly tinned before taking a measurement.
Measure Tip Temperature
Place the soldering tip in the centre of the sensor as when soldering. Wait
until the temperature measurement stabilizes.
Battery
Battery Indicator
If emty battery blinks in the display, the batteries must be replaced. However, the device will still operate for a certain length of time.
If the BAT display text appears in the main display, the battery voltage is no longer adequate for device operation. The battery has to be cahnged to use the device.
Changing Battery
Unscrews the Phillips screws (1) and remove the cover.
Replace the two AA batteries (2). Ensure that the polarity is correct. It must be possible to insert the batteries in the correct position without using force.
The O-ring (3) must be undamaged, clean and positioned at the intended depth.
Fit the cover (4) on evenly. The O-ring must remain at the intended depth!
Tighten the Phillips screws (1).
Note: If TID is not used for an extended period of time, the batteries must be removed. This will prevent the batteries from leaking.
Changing the Sensor
Replacement
To replace the STD sensor, pull it vertically out of the sensor stand and
replace it with a new one.

Maintanance
- Before carrying out maintenance or storage, always allow the equipment to cool down.
- Check periodically that the sensor is clean.
- Use a damp cloth when cleaning. Alcohol can only be used to clean the metal parts.
- Unnecessary unscrewing endangers the protection against moisture and should therefore beavoided.
- Replace any defective or damaged parts. Use original JBC spare parts only.
- Repairs should only be performed by a JBC authorized technical service.
Batteries
- If the device ist not used for a longer periode of time, the batteries must be removed to avoid leaks of the batteries.
- If the batteries have different charge levels, they may leak and damage the device.
- Do not use different types of batteries.
- Only use high-quality and suitable alkaline batteries.
- Remove depleted batteries immediately and dispose of them at a suitable collection
- Using damaged or unsuitable batteries can generate heat, which can cause the batteries to crack and possibly explode. Danger of explosion!
Safety
It is imperative to follow safety guidelines to prevent electric shock, injury, fire or explosion.
This device has been designed and tested in accordance with the safety
regulations for electronic devices.
However, its trouble-free operation and reliability cannot be guaranteed
unless the standard safety measures and special safety advice in this manual
is complied with during use.
-
Trouble-free operation and reliability of the device can only be guaranteed if it is not subjected to any other climatic conditions than those stated under “Specification”.
If the device is transported from a cold to a warm environment, condensation may result in failure. Should this occur, make sure the temperature of the device has readjusted to the ambient temperature before trying a new start-up. -
If the digital thermometer is connected to other devices, the circuitry must be carefully designed.
Internal connection to other apparatus (e.g. connection GND/earth) may result in high voltages which will damage the device(s). -
If there is any risk during use, the device must be switched off immediately and marked accordingly to avoid being used again.
-
Operator safety may be at risk if there is visible damage to the device, the device is not working as specified or the device has been stored under unsuitable conditions for a long time. If in doubt, please return the device to the manufacturer for repair or maintenance.
-
For professional use. Only used by authorised personnel.
Warning
- Do not use this product as a safety or emergency stop device, or in any other application where failure of the product could result in personal injury or material damage.
- Do not use the units for any purpose other than measuring cartridge tip temperature.
Working recommendations
- Use a “non residue” classified flux and avoid contact with skin or eyes to prevent irritation.
- Be careful with the remains of liquid tin. In contact with skin, it can cause burns.
- Be careful with the fumes produced when melting soldering.
- Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Wear appropriate protection glasses and gloves when working to avoid personal harm.
