SPECIFICATIONS
The AM 6800 is a rework station for through-hole
and SMT boards.
-AM 6800 230V Ref. 6800200
-AM 6800 120V Ref. 6800100
It contains 4 modules which cover the main rework
tasks:
-Hot air for desoldering any size of SMD
components.
The station uses the exclusive JBC system,
based on protectors-extractors and hot-air
flow, which makes desoldering clean and quick,
concentrating the heat on the IC, and protecting
the rest of the circuit at the same time.
A medium-sized SMD can be desoldered in
less than 20 seconds.
-Desoldering SMTs and cleaning of through-
hole components and pads by using the
DR 5650 desoldering iron, which contains a
self-contained vacuum pump.
-Pick & Place MP 2260 pencil by suction to aid
components positioning.
-Soldering of all types of components, with the
swift response, power and temperature
recovery of the JBC series.

Description of controls
-BUTTONS:
Activates or desactivates the hot-air flow. After
a function-time of two minutes the hot-air flow
switches automatically off.
USING THE HOT AIR MODULE
- CONTROLS:
TEMPERATURE
Allows fixing the temperature of the heater
between 150 and 450°C or 300 and 850ºF. The
selected temperatures are reference values
which may change depending on the distance
between the heating element and the nozzle.
AIR FLOW
This enables the air flow to be set on a scale
from 1 (corresponding to the lowest setting of
6 l/min) to 10 (corresponding to the highest of
45 l/min).

Pedal
Ref. 0964551
-PEDAL: Hot air is produced when it is held
down. Releasing it the heater is disconnected,
though the turbine continues to operate until
the air temperature falls below 100°C.
-VACUUM SELECTOR:
Two vacuum inlets avalaible for tripods and
extractors, being active the one that coincides
with the arrow.
INTRODUCING JBC TECHNOLOGY
The exclusive JBC heating system achieves an
exceptional thermal recovery, which increases
productivity, quality, reduces cost of ownership
and ensures fast return on investment.
Unequalled thermal response
An excellent soldering tool features instant thermal
response conceived by a high power/mass ratio.
A high power/mass ratio is being used to maintain
the tip’s temperature as close as possible to the
one selected on the control unit, even when the
thermal load is significant. This is the formula
needed to perform high quality solderjoints and
avoid cold ones, protect the PCB that is being
soldered and increase productivity.
INTELLIGENT HEAT MANAGEMENT
The only time that a soldering tool should be at
working temperature is when it is actually being
used. JBC stations identify if and how a tool is
being used and depending on this switches the
tool to one of the following modes with their
respective temperatures:
Work mode: selected working temperature i.e.
350°C.
Sleep mode: during short periods of inactivity
the tool’s temperature is being lowered to an
intermediate temperature i.e. 220°C.
Hibernation mode: During larger periods of
inactivity i.e. 30 minutes, the tool’s power is being
cut off and it cools down to room temperature.
The advantages of this heat management are
significantly increased catridge lifespan and
substantial energy savings which ensures low
cost of ownership.
JBC Tools save money by managing Heat
efficiently saving energy, time and improving
processes.
The red led indicates, that the heating element
is functioning. A malfunction is indicated by the
pulsing of the red led.
If you would like to change the SLEEP
and HIBERNATION parameters, as any
other function, see page 41.

DESOLDERING PROCEDURE WITH THE
HEATER
We would also recommend the use of the nozzles
of larger diameter, reserving the smallest one
(diam. 4 mm) for desoldering small components
such as resistors, condensers and the like, bearing
in mind that with this small nozzle the concentration
of heat is greater and care must be taken to avoid
burning the printed circuit; we recommend keeping
below a temperature of 350 °C and air flow of 6.
Depending on the size of the integrated circuit to
be desoldered, you will have to use:
A)Protector + tripod:
- Select protector and tripod size in function of
the IC to be desoldered and place it over the
component.
- Use the SUCTION button to start the pump
and then place the tripod. Press the suction
cup until it sticks onto the component.
- When the soldering flux turns liquid the
extractor will automatically lift the component.
B)Extractor:
- Select extractor size in function of the IC to
be desoldered. Use the SUCTION button to
start the pump.
- Use the pedal or the ON-OFF button to start
the self-contained hot-air pump, directing it
with a circular movement at the component
terminals and taking care to distribute the heat
evenly.
- Place the extractor and press the suction cup
until it sticks onto the component.
- When the soldering flux turns liquid the
extractor will automatically lift the component.
There are different models of protectors and
extractors as accessories.
C)Tripod:
For small components for which an extractor
cannot be used, we recommend use of tripod 20
Ref. 0932050, as shown in the figure.
Use the tripod 40 Ref. 0932250 for larger integrated
circuits.
- Use the pedal or the ON-OFF button to start
the self-contained hot-air pump, directing it
with a circular movement at the component
terminals and taking care to distribute the heat
evenly.

SOLDERING PROCEDURE
1 After desoldering the component, any solder
left on the printed circuit should be removed
with our DR 5650 desoldering iron ref. 5650000.
4 Apply FL 9582 flux ref. 0046565 in pads and
leads.
5 Solder the remaining pins. For this we
recommend to use our soldering irons of the
JBC series, which are available in two different
models:
2210 handpiece ref. 2210000 for great
precision tasks, like SMD solders, etc.
2245 handpiece ref. 2245000 for general
soldering tasks in professional electronics.
These soldering irons have a wide range of
cartridges with different models of tips. The
2245-009 cartridge and 2245-010 are
specially designed for soldering SMD circuits
of the QFP and PLCC types.
Solder wire with a diameter of between 0.5 and
0.7 mm should be used.
2 Place the component or printed circuit with
the MP 2260 Pick & Place ref. 2260000.
3 When the component is correctly placed,
solder its pins.In the case of integrated circuits
of the Flat Pack type, first solder one pin of
every IC angle to fix it in place in the circuits.
6 Depending on the nature of the component to
be soldered, use soldering paste together
with our TE 5400 hot air station, which gives
very accurate air-flow regulation, between 4
and 12 l/min.

Possible errors
In the case of malfunction, the control unit
interrupts the connection.
Following a list of the most common
malfunctions:
--
--
- Power failure.
Check for blown fuses.
- The temperature will not rise.
Possible causes:
· Heating element open.
· In case of a long low-power period.
- No reading from the thermocouple.
Possible cause: open thermocouple.
- Insufficient air flow which causes an excesive
rise of the heating temperature.
Before recuperating this type of error you must
wait until the temperature goes down.
Possible causes: leaking or blocked air
conducts or faulty self-contained air pump.
- Faulty reading of the rotationsmeter of the self-
contained air pump.
Possible causes: air pump damaged or faulty
function of the optical sensor circuit.
To reset any of these errors turn on the general
switch at the back of the station, the pedal
should not be pushed at this moment.
OPERATING INCIDENTS
The suction cup does not adhere to the
component.
Deficient aspiration, Vacuum.
1 Verify if the suction cup is well placed and in
perfect condition.
2 Check the incoming air filter in the interior of
the station and replace it if dirty or obstructed.

Changing the pump inlet filter
Verify the filter at the entrance of the pump, and
change it if dirty or obstructed, therefor:
Open the filter pulling the flap.
Take out the 2 cotton filters, throw away those
which are soiled and replace them with new
ones. Always use 2 filters.
Close the filter and check the airtightness.
Cleaning the vacuum pump valve.
Open the control unit as follow:
- Disconnect the control unit.
- Remove the fixing screws and lift up the lid.
