Warnings and precautions
The tip temperature can be > 400°C. Please note; ignoring the
precautions may lead to injury to users or damage the iSolder-40
Do not touch or change the tip while operating the iSolder-40.
Do not use the iSolder-40 near flammable items
Do not use the solder station for any function other than De-
soldering or soldering of the electronic/electrical components.
(Do not use it with wood, wax, plastic, etc…)
Use only tips and parts supplied by JOVY Systems®.
Make sure that the tip does not touch any object while in
operating mode. It negatively affects the tip sensitivity.
Use in a well-ventilated work space and preferably use a smoke
absorber appliance.
Do not use the equipment or the hand piece with wet hands.
Connect only to properly grounded outlets to prevent risk of
electric shock or equipment malfunction.
Always place hand-piece back into the holder to prevent
accidental burning of oneself or surrounding objects.
The iSolder-40 is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensorial or mental capabilities.
As well, persons with lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or training concerning use of
the soldering station by a person responsible for their safety.
Safety precautions:
Use the protective pad to exchange the tip and do not expose or touch the
tip by your skin.
Keep a distance from the working space during the rework process,
reworking process might produce unwanted smoke toward your eyes and
lungs.

information about tips see Tip care and selection section and also Hints and
Tricks Section)

Modes Guideline
Recognize the solder station’s status is done by observing the led indicator’s color
and state.
Attention!
When the tip is disconnected from the hand piece, the controller gives a
continuous red light indication on the led indicator.
When the controller is active and sensing, the fast flashing Green Led will be seen
from time to time.
Make sure that the toggle button is upwards (Mode 2) when starting the station;
otherwise the station will enter in the debug mode.
1. Heating up mode
When the tip is fully inserted into the hand piece, the iSolder-40 controller starts
to detect the tip.
The indicator of this state is a flashing green led.
2. Operating mode
When the tip is ready to be used the green led stop flashing and becomes steady
green.
The indicator of this state is a steady green led.

A) User Mode 1
To enter User Mode 1, default starting mode, make sure that button’s position is
downwards otherwise press the button until its position is downwards just as in
the following picture. Notice that Entering mode 2 is done AFTER the station is
turned on.
B) User Mode 2

4. Debug mode
To Enter the Debug mode of the iSolder-40 station, which is also known as the
firmware update mode and is used to update the station to the latest firmware
version, make sure to press the toggle button so that its position is hold
downwards, connect the iSolder-40 station to the PC using the USB port and then
power the station up.
The LED indicator will NOT flash any color
and will remain dim when it enters the
debug mode. When the Station is
successfully connected to the software,
the “Connect” will be available through
the software.

When the station is successfully
connected, a Firmware upgrade menu
will appear, showing the Name of the
station and the Serial Number.
Choosing import will open a browse
window to choose the location of the
firmware
After the Firmware Upgrade file is chosen a confirmation message will appear, if

When the upgrade is successfully complete , a message will appear confirming
that the Firmware update process is complete.
5. Sleep mode
When the iSolder-40 controller senses no usage for 5 minutes, the iSolder-40
starts the sleep mode for saving power.
The indicator of this mode is a flashing red led (short on; short off).
To get out from sleep mode and turn to operating mode, move the hand piece
from the holder and wait until the iControl automatically senses and update the
status from Sleep to Operating mode.
6. Power saving mode*
After 15 minutes in the sleep mode, the iSolder-40 will turn to the power saving
mode, where no power is delivered to the tip at all and the tip temperature drops
down to room temperature.
The power saving mode is a safety mode where the device can get out of it by
moving the hand piece to left or right direction.
Also to shift from operating mode switch Off/On the iSolder-40

The indication of this state is a flashing red led (short on; short off).
*The difference between the sleep mode led color indicator and the auto shut-down mode led
color indicator is the speed of flashing.
For sleep mode the led red flash speed is Off/on in seconds is 1/1.
For standby mode the led flash speed is Off/on in seconds is 5/1.

connecting the station, or if it’s
connected but not turned on, the
software’s menu will show only “Work
Offline” and “Exit”.
b) Online Mode
When the station is properly
connected via the USB and is turned
on, the software menu interface when
opened will look like the opposite
picture.
The serial Number will be displayed in

Guide for tip selection:
Good
Too light
Too heavy
The ideal tip choice is the tip which its active area should cover completely the
solder area. The best percentage of soldering area to tip active area is 2:1.
Tip care guide for longer life time:
-Clean the tip by wiping it with a wet sponge and slightly drag it out after
each use.
-Never use excessive mechanical force for the tip when soldering.
-Soldering tip oxidation should quickly be cleaned and removed; it
negatively affects the tip sensitivity.
-Use the wire mesh to remove bulk solder materials remaining over the tip
after each usage.

Hints and Tricks
Tip oxidation removal:
Firstly, clean the tip using a wet sponge then clean with wire brush.
Secondly, use a tip re-activator chemical to remove hard residues and
oxidation, and finally re-tinning using solder wire (flux cored).
Make sure that the tip type is compatible to the application –as explained
above in tip selection section –with the solder material mass to avoid
process failure, tip damage and oxidation.
Apply the tip to small part of solder wire before you start soldering or de-
soldering.
Wet the sponge by distilled water.
Note: Sulfur and other minerals in Tap-water cause fast tip oxidation.
Keeping the tip clean and shine, enhances the sensitivity and performance
of the tip.
