Before carrying out maintenance, always allow the equipment to cool.
- Clean the station screen with a glass cleaner
or a damp cloth.
Clean
periodically
- 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.
Hibernation Delay
Set the time the tool will
remain at Sleep temperature
before entering the Hiber-
nation mode. At this time,
the power supply is cut off
and the tip remains at room
temperature.
Temp Adjustment
It provides a more precise
adjustment between the
selected temperature and the
actual one.
This function completely
protects the tip from oxida-
tion during long periods of
inactivity while the tool is in
the stand.
Retinning the tip before pla-
cing the tool in the stand also
helps prevent oxidation and
extends the life of the tip.
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.

Parameter description
Warnings
Increasing the default
value will accelerate oxi-
dation and shorten the tip
life.
When the user chan-
ges 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 then the user
changes 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 which does
not need any temperature
adjustment.
