Operation
The JBC Exclusive Heating 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.
· Change temperature
(from 90 to 450ºC)
· Select temperature levels
· Fix one temperature
· Change Sleep temperature
· Set Sleep delay

Long time in
the stand
1. Work 2. Sleep 3. Hibernation
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.

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.
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.
Temperature unit
Celsius (ºC) or Fahrenheit (ºF)
RecommendationsParameter description

Warnings
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).
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 reduce tip life. If the
solder joint requires more
power (e.g. multilayered or
high dissipation boards),
JBC recommends using
other aids like preheaters.
Be careful when using these parameters. They can reduce tip life if not used properly. Please follow
the recommended guidelines:
Parameters
Beep

sound of the keypad.

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.
The sleep temperatures are
set to achieve a balance
between preventing oxidation
and reaching the working
temperature in a few seconds.
Because our tools reach the
working temperature from
the Sleep mode in a few
seconds, this parameter is
preset to 0 min. Once the tool
is returned to the stand the
temperature will 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.

RecommendationsParameter description Warnings
Hibernation Delay
Set the time the tool will
remain at Sleep temperature
before entering the
Hibernation mode. The power
supply is cut off and the tip
remains at room temperature.
Increasing the default
value will accelerate
oxidation and shorten the
tip life.
When you change
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 the
C245966 (thick type) and
you change the cartridge for
a C245030 (which is thinner)
without resetting, they would
be working at a temperature
of +20°C (+36°F) lower for
the C245030.
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
helps prevent oxidation and
extends the life of the tip.
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.
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.

Before carrying out maintenance, always allow the equipment to cool.
- 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.
Maintenance
1. Pull off the fuse holder and remove the
fuse. If necessary use a tool to lever it off.
2. Press the new fuse into the fuse holder
and replace it in the station.
- 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.

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 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 inflamable products to ignite.
- Avoid the contact of flux 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 and also persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of 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.
