PSS-A
Application
PSS is designed to support and fix PCBs to perform soldering and desoldering jobs with or without
preheaters. JBC’s rotary support can work with JBC’s PHSE Preheater.
Preheater
PCB
Support
Caution: Take care when working with preheaters since metal surfaces of the support
can be hot - especially the sliding guide and the spring guide.

Height Adjustment
The support incorporates a height adjustment mechanism inside the support legs. Choose between
3 different height levels.
Lift the support while holding the tabs and let its feets drop down under their own weight (2).
While continuing to hold the lower tabs, place the support on the workplace and lower it until it
reaches the desired height.
Release the tabs and the legs will automatically lock into position (3).
Note: Make sure that the components already mounted on the PCB do not come too close to the
preheater plate.
If components are too close to the heating surface, they may be damaged. To avoid this, set the
support height to level 2 or level 3 or set an adequate PCB holder angle to ensure sufficient distance.
Pay special attention when turning the PCB holder upside down.
To adjust the height, press the two lower push tabs upward at the same time and hold them
pressed (1).

PCB Holder Positions
Default Position
(Level 1 - without elevation)
By default, the sliding guide realease lever is located at the front and the push button for holder rotation
on the right side.
Rotated Position
(360º range)
To rotate the PCB holder, press the lateral push button (1) to unlock its position. While the button is
pressed, the holder can be rotated to the desired position (2). Note: In order to be able to rotate freely,
the support needs to have a free space of at least 30 cm in diameter.
Release the lateral push button and the holder will rest in the desired position.

Inclined Position
To place the holder in an inclined position, lift the rear end slightly upwards and hold the holder in the
desired angular position (1).
With the other hand, turn the positioning lever upwards (2) and insert its stud into one of the openings
of the positioning arm (3). Do the same on the opposite side to completely fix the holder in the desired
position.
It is possible to choose between 4 different angular positions: 25º, 35º, 45º and 55º. Note: When
working at 55º and level 3 height, the total height of PSS reaches 24.5 cm (up to 30 cm at 90º).
To return the holder to the horizontal position, set the lever to its horizontal position (4) - for a holder
angle of 0º.
Caution: When adjusting and changing the support positions, be aware that the metal
surfaces may be hot.

If the holder is in an inclined position,proceed as follows to turn it upside down:
Grasp the holder at the top and slide it upwards (1). Both position levers will automatically drop down
to their horizontal position (2) and will release the previous holder position.
Then tilt the holder all the way back (3) until it comes to rest in a horizontal position again (4).
The holder is now completely turned around by 180º and the top side of the PCB is facing down.
Proceed in reverse order if you want to work on the top side of the PCB again.
Upside Down Position
(180º - inverted position)
The PCB holder can be turned upside-down (180º), this means the top side of the PCB then faces
downwards.
This has the advantage that the PCB does not have to be repositioned if soldering is to be carried out
on the top and on the bottom side of the PCB.
Note: Be aware that after turning it around, larger components may come too close to the preheater
heating surface or table. If necessary, set a different support height (see chapter “Height Adjustment”
on page 5).
If the holder is in a horizontal position, procced as follows to turn it upside down:
Grasp the holder at the front (1) and slide it upwards until it is in a vertical position (2).

Keep lifting the holder until it is in a vertical position (3).
Then tilt the holder all the way to the desired angular position (4) and insert the studs of the positioning
levers in the desired position to fix the holder in place (5).
.
The PCB is now turned around by 180º and the top side of the PCB is facing down.
Proceed in reverse order if you want to work on the top side of the PCB again.
PCB Placement
Loosen the knobs of the spring guide clamps (1), adjust their distance according to the PBC width (2)
and tighten the knobs again. Clamps that are not needed can be slided to the side (3) (or disassembled).
Loosen the knobs of the sliding guide clamps (4) and slide unneeded clamps aside (5).
Insert the PCB into the slots of the spring guide clamps (6) and into at least one slot clamp on the side
of the sliding guide (7) and tighten the clamp knob (8).
Press the sliding guide against the PCB to move it together with the spring guide slightly backwards
(9) until the sliding guide clicks into place.

Maintenance
Before carrying out maintenance or storage,
always allow the support to cool down.
- Check periodically that the Support is clean,
especially the axes of the sliding guide.
- Use a damp cloth when cleaning. Alcohol
can only be used to clean the metal parts
- Replace any defective or damaged piece.
Use original JBC spare parts only.
- Repairs should only be performed by a JBC
authorized technical service.

Now adjust the positions of the other requiered slot clamps to the PCB shape and tighten their clamp
knobs (10) after the adjustment.
The clamp knobs can be loosened and tightened by hand and/or by means of the provided Allen key.
The Allen key is stored on the side of the support and held in place by a built-in magnet.

Removing the PCB
Push the PCB against the spring guide (1)
until it moves back slightly.
Now the PCB can be taken out of the clamps
at the front (2).
Fast PCB Replacement
Placing another PCB
Position a new PCB inside the slot clamps
of the spring guide. Push it backwards
(against the spring force) until it moves slightly
backwards (3).
Rotate the free side of the PCB downward
and position it in the slot clamps of the front
area (4).
The spring guide automatically locks the PCB
into position.

Maintenance

Safety
It is imperative to follow safety guidelines to prevent electric
shock, injury, fire or explosion.
- When using the support with a preheater unit, the temperature of accessible surfaces may remain high
after the unit is turned off. Handle with care.
- Be careful with the remains of liquid tin. In contact with the 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 the 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.
