JBC ALU-910VA Auto Feed Control Unit Instruction Manual
This manual corresponds to the following references:
– ALU-910VA (100V)
– ALU-110VA (120V)
– ALU-210VA (230V)
Packing List
The following items are included
Features and Connections
Solder Reel Assembly
Open the reel locking screw (1) and remove the reel locking (2) from the axis.
Assemble the solder reel onto the axis (3) and reassemble the reel locking
screw (1). The flat side of the axis must align with the inner flat side of
the reel locking.
Note: Press lightly the reel locking (1) down before tightening the reel
locking screw (2) to prevent free reel spinning
Insert the solder reel in such a way – when viewed from above – that the
solder wire unwinds on the despensing mechanism side (4)
Tool Assembly
Connect the tool to the control unit following this steps: Insert and push the guide nozzle until the end (1) and tighten the screw (2). Then connect the tool connector (3).
Solder Wire Loading
Pass the solder wire through the wire guidance and introduce the solder wire into the inlet nozzle
- until it reaches the wheels (2).
Make sure the wire passes through the Intermediate Nozzle (5) and enters into the Guide Tube (6)
Main Menu Screen
Acces to Main Menu by , select “ Feeder Settings ” (1) and then “ Wire Diameter ” (2) to adjust the value to the current solder wire diameter.
Select “Tin Reloaded Process” (1) and then use to feed the solder wire and advance until it comes out through the outlet nozzle. Keep pressed and after a while the wire will advance faster.
Solder Wire Feeding
Forward the solder wire by pushing the dragging button (4) until the wire comes out of the tip (5).
Control Process
Feeder Setting Modes
Choose between “continuous”, “discontinuous” and “program” mode. Acces to Main Menu by , select “ Feeder Setting s” and then “Mode
Depending on the selected mode, different parameters are available for setup.
Troubleshooting
Station troubleshooting available on the product page at www.jbctools.com
Control Process
Program Mode
With AL you can define up to 5 feeder programs. Select “Edit Program” and access to the pro- gramm parameters
For each programm between 1 and 3 feeding steps (length and speed) should be
defined.
If less than 3 feedig steps are needed, set up wire length and speed to “0.0”
and the parameter will change to “None”.
Quick Access to Feeder Setting Modes
The solder wire dispensing values can directly set up from the work screen.
Press or to change the tool temperature value.
When the main screen is displayed, by pressing button speed and
lenght value can be set up. Following parameters can be changed according to
the different dispensing modes:
- Contiunous Mode: Speed
- Discontinous Mode: Speed and length
- Program Mode: 3 feeding parameter pairs (length and speed) for every
Note: First select the program to be modified at the work screen by using and to switch between the programs.
Changing Guide Kits
Accesories
Various guide sets are available. Select the appropriate guide set depending on the solder wire diameter to be used.

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
- Use a damp cloth to clean the casing and the 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 Rusty and dirty surfaces reduce heat transfer to the solder joint.
- Periodically check all cables and
- Replace a blown fuse as follows:
-
Pull off the fuse holder and remove the If necessary use a tool to lever it off.
-
Insert the new fuse into the fuse holder and return it to the station.
– Replace any defective or damaged pieces. Only use original JBC spare parts.
– 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.
Safety- Do not use the units for any purpose other than soldering or rework. Incorrect use may cause 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 inflamable 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 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.
