Sealing Plug Replacement

The sealing plug prevents undesirable flux vapors or particles from entering inside the tool. Its usage is highly recommended for intensive applications when soldering is exposed to FOD environments or for applications where the soldering iron works close to a vertical position.
Note: For the different handles are different sealing plugs available.

Before replacing the sealing plug, unplug the power supply and make sure the device is not hot.

1. Removing Sealing Plug
   Enter, not deeper than 8mm, a small shaft or screwdriver and lift and pull the sealing plug. Never use a cartridge to do this operation.
   

2. Mounting Position
   Note: The chamfered side has to be positioned towards the handle.
   

3. Inserting Sealing Plug
   Push the sealing plug inside the handle until the sealing plug and handle edges are aligned.

Operation

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.

Through menu settings:

• Select temperature levels
• Fix one temperature

Parameters

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

Station Settings

Temperature Unit Celsius (ºC) or Fahrenheit (ºF)  N/a
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.

| 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 using other aids like preheaters.
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.
Metronome
This activates a beep sound. Frequencies vary from 1 to 50 seconds.| Useful for setting a work rate in repetitive jobs. The beep lets you know the length of time the tip must be in contact with the soldering joint.| N/a
Beep
Enable/disable the beep sound of the keypad.| N/a| N/a
QST
Enable/disable QST.| N/a| N/a
Pin
Enable/disable pin prompt.| N/a| N/a
Change Pin
Change the default security
PIN number (0105).| The PIN must be entered every time a parameter is changed.| N/a

Tool Settings

Fix One Temperature
Fix a value within the temperature range of the station (90-450ºC/190-840ºF).| Ideal for soldering more than one component at a specific temperature. The station will reject any attempt to change the temperature.| N/a
Temperature Levels Set
Similar to the “Fix one temp” parameter. In this case, the user can set up to 3 values for different power requirements.| This allows a quick change between 3 different temperatures. Set them according to the allowed values for your soldering applications.| N/a
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 default 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 with temperatures up to 450°C (840°F).
Sleep Temperature
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.
Temp Adjustment
It provides a more precise adjustment between the selected temperature and the actual one.| Set values within ±50°C (± 90°F) to achieve zero error. JBC strongly recommends the use of TID-A or TIA-A Thermometers to obtain precise readings.| 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 a thick cartridge and then the user changes to a thinner one whitout resetting the temperature adjustment, he would be working at a higher temperature than needed for this thinner cartridge, which does not need any temperature adjustment.

****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.
– 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:

1. Pull off the fuse holder and remove the fuse. If necessary use a tool to lever it off.
2. Insert the new fuse into the fuse holder and return it to the station.

– When this warning appears on the main screen Earthing Fuse must be replaced

– 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 soldering or rework. Incorrect use may cause a fire.
– The power cord must be plugged into an approved basis. 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, 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 inflammable 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.
