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.

For repetitive jobs we recommend 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:

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.

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.

Recommended Guidelines
1. Place the Thermocouple (TC) as near as possible to the component being worked on.
2. If there are any sensitive components, use a Thermocouple as protection.
You can select the protection temperature in the Thermocouples menu. If the selected tempertare
is reached, the Heater Unit will stop the process and a warning message will be shown.
3. 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.

Maintenance
Before carrying out maintenance or storage, always allow the equipment and the support to cool.
- Check periodically that the PHBE-A 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 protect health and prevent electric
shock, injury, fire or explosions.
- 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 can 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.
