Advanced functionalities
It provides detailed graphics of tip temperature and power delivery in real time during
solder joint formation for analysis purposes. This helps you decide how to adjust your
process or which tip to use to obtain the best quality soldering.
The first system to optimize traceability in soldering
- Get greater quality and control in your production
- Manage your whole soldering process remotely in real time
Designed to avoid thermal shock when soldering Ceramic Chip components like
MLCC, this new and unique feature allows controlling the heating ramp up rate of the
tool to gradually increase the temperature of the
component through all the phases of the soldering process. Up to 25 fully configurable
soldering profiles can be stored.

Operation
The JBC Most Efficient Soldering System
Our revolutionary technology is able to recover tip temperature extremely quickly. It means the user
can work at a lower temperature and improve the quality of soldering. The tip temperature is further
reduced thanks to the Sleep and Hibernation modes which increase up to 5 times the life of the tip.
3. Hibernation1. Work 2. Sleep
When the tool is lifted from
the stand the tip will heat up
to the selected temperature.
When the tool is in the stand,
the temperature falls to the
preset Sleep temperature.
After longer periods of
inactivity, the power is cut off
and the tool cools down to
room temperature.

Clean periodically
Maintenance
Before carrying out maintenance or storage, always allow the equipment to cool.
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 holder and
return it to the station.
- 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 and establish its 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 a blown fuse as follows:
- Replace any defective or damaged pieces. 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 soldering or rework. Incorrect use may cause fire.
- The power cord must be plugged into approved bases. Make 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 after 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 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.
