Features and Connections

Height Adjustment

The Small PCB Support allows adjustment for 3 heights between the PCB and the Heating Area of the Preheater Unit.

Height Adjustment

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

The Small PCB 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, push the PCB against the sliding guide and lift out.

Placing another PCB
Position it and tighten the sliding guide knobs

Setting Thermocouples Function

Select Thermocouples from the Work mode menu to set them up.
The thermocouples (TC) can work in three diferent ways depending on what is needed.

Control: the unit mantains the selected temperature.
Protection: the Heater Unit stops if the TC reaches the selected temperature.
Info: the TC temperature is shown in 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

lace 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.

Temperature Mode

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.

Power Mode

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.

Profile Modes

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 Profiles mode work screen by pressing the ‘OK’ button.
In this mode you can edit as many as 25 profiles of temperature.

Profile Editor

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 a gradual warming.
These profiles are not modifiable but can be used as a template to create your own profiles.

JBC Set Profiles

Profiles set using the low position of the Support (28 mm in height between the PCB and the heating area).

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 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 inflamable products to ignite.
Heat can cause inflamable products to ignite even when out of sight.
Be careful with the remains of liquid tin. In contact with skin, it n 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 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.
