AD 4200
DUAL SOLDERING STATION

1
We appreciate the confidence you have placed in JBC in purchasing this station.
It is manufactured to the most stringent quality standards in order to give you the
best possible service. Before turning on your station, we recommend you to read
these instructions carefully.
You have pursached a Advanced AD 4200 Control Unit.
In order to complete the soldering station you should choose the suitable handpiece or desoldering
tweezers, the stand and the cartridges for the task to do. The Control Unit is only for handpieces 2210,
2245 and the hot tweezers PA 1200 or PA 4200 and corresponding cartridges.

Structure of Advanced soldering stations
system
The Advanced series has basic modules giving
you full flexibility for choosing what you need for
the work in hand, the modules being supplied
separately.

listed.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
For soldering and desoldering
-Clean the contacts and the printed circuit to
be desoldered of dust or dirt.
-Preferably select a temperature below 662°F.
Excess temperature may cause the printed
circuit tracks to break loose.
-The tip must be well tinned for good heat
conduction. If it has been inoperative for any
length of time, it should be retinned.

HANDPIECES 2210 AND 2245
The following soldering handpieces can be
connected to the AD 4200 station:
-Handpiece 2210 ref. 2210000. Power:20W. For
high precision work, SMD etc. Available
cartridges 2210: see page 15.
-Handpiece 2245 ref. 2245000. Power:50W.For
general soldering work. Available cartridges
2245: see page 14.
The handpieces and cartridges 2210 and 2245
comply with the MIL-SPEC-2000 referring to the
potential difference between the soldering tip and
ground connection, must be less than 2 mV.
For a soldering handpiece to work properly, the
following components are required: the control
unit, soldering iron stand, one handpiece and one
cartridge.
Thesolderingironisconnectedtothestationinthe
following way:
The cable connection of the soldering iron is
connected to the plug in the soldering iron stand

OPERATION
LED lights
Red LED -ON- when lit, it indicates that the station is
plugged in the mains.
Green LED -READY- when lit, it indicates that the
system is ready and correctly set for working.
The green led light is on after a few seconds, is the
time needed to carry on the self-checking system.
The green light is pulsing when the soldering iron is
in sleep mode.
If the green led is not lit, the reason why, will be one
of the following:
1. The handpiece or the cartridge are not plugged
in.
2. The maximum available power has been
exceeded for too long - e.g. in a very thick
soldering at the high repetition rates.
3. The handpiece or cartridge has a short
circuit or an open circuit.
4. Any other trouble preventing the system from
working properly.
The green led goes off when the cartridge tip
touches the extractor and the station stops the
power supply.
The handpiece will reset itself automatically should
the cartridge short circuit or go open circuit.
Should the handpiece be subject to:
-An electrical surge or the cartridge has not been
fitted correctly.
Please turn the unit off and switch on again to
reset.

Sleep function
One of the Series Advanced features is that when
the handpiece is placed in the holder, the
temperature at the tip drops automatically to the
sleep temperature. This function is only possible
because of the quick response time which does
not make the user realise the temperature rise to
reach the selected temperature. Also by this, the
oxidation of the tinning of the tip is considerably
reduced and tip life is extended.
To indicate that the soldering iron is in sleep-mode,
the green led starts pulsing. These parameters can
bemodifiedusingtheConsoleAC2600 Ref.2600000.
In order to take advantage of the above
mentioned feature and as a security measure,
it is necessary to place the handpiece on stand
when the iron is not being used.
2- Place the handpiece on top of the new cartridge,
press it slightly down and remove the handpiece.
Changing the handpiece's cartridge
With the Advanced system, the cartridge can be
changed quickly, without turning off the station,
so you have two soldering irons in one. Here is
what to do to change the cartridge:
1- Place the handpiece and remove the cartridge.
Fume extractor accessories
Specially designed for the Advanced Series
handpieces 2210 and 2245. Easily clips onto the
handpiece and can be quickly removed for easy
maintenance.
For handpiece 2245
0495000
For handpiece 2210
0265000 3- Press the cartridge into the opening A, B or C:
A. For straight cartridges 2210.
B. For curved cartridges 2210.
C. For cartridges 2245.
When connecting an old version solder stand, it may
happen that the sleep function does not work.
To resolve this problem, you should make a bridge
between pins number 3 and 5 from the aerial
connector of the cable of the stand, that plugs in
the station.

Advanced series cartridge
Cartridge is made of the heating element which has the
heating system, temperature sensor and long life tip.
Long-life tip is basically made of:
1Copper
2Iron
3Nikel
4Chromium
5Tin plate
Long-life tip care
Except the copper core, the rest of metals are placed
galvanically on layers relatively thin, so it is necessary
to avoid the reasons which can cause its destruction.
To clean the tips, use the sponge included with
the stand and check it is lightely moisted.
To re-tin the soldering tips, we recommend using
the tip tinner/cleaner TT 9400 ref. 9400000.

HOT TWEEZERS
AD 4200 station allows to connect two different
models of tweezers, each one with its respective
range of cartridges and stand:
-Micro hot tweezers PA 1200 ref. 1200000.
-Hot tweezers PA 4200 ref. 4200000.
For tweezers to work properly, the following
components are required: control unit, hot tweezers,
a stand and a set of cartridges corresponding to
the chosen tweezer.
