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.
Recommendations
Parameter description
Warnings
Increasing the default
value will accelerate
oxidation 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.
This function completely
protects the tip from oxidation
during long periods of inactivi-
ty 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.
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.
