Specifications

Note: The lower the input voltage, the slower the temperature rise. Excessively high pressure can damage the heating element.

Setup and Wiring

Power Requirements:

• T12: 24V 3A
• C245: 24V 6A
• C210: 12V 6A
• 936: 24V 3A

Important: Ensure your power supply matches the requirements of your chosen heating core. Incorrect power can lead to damage or poor performance.

Wiring Diagram:

The wiring configuration varies depending on the soldering iron handle and heating core used. Pay close attention to pin correspondence.

• GX12 Socket Pin Definitions:
  1. Sleep detection
  2. Temperature detection
  3. Handle recognition (ID)
  4. Heating core negative
  5. Heating core positive
• T12 Heating Core: Connect 3#ID pin with a 10K resistor to the heating core negative.
• JBC245 Heating Core: Short circuit 3#ID pin to the heating core negative.
• JBC210 Heating Core: Leave 3#ID pin suspended (not connected).
• AT936 Heating Core: Connect 3#ID pin with a 4.7K resistor to the heating core negative.

Caution: Always ensure correct polarity for the heating core positive and negative connections. Short circuits will cause damage.

Operating Instructions

Basic Operation:

1. Normal Mode:
   • Short press the encoder to enter the preset temperature mode. You can switch between 4 pre-set common temperatures by rotating the encoder.
   • Short press the encoder again to enter the set temperature mode. Rotate the encoder to adjust the temperature in 10-degree increments. The step temperature is adjustable.
2. Menu Navigation:
   • In normal mode, long press the encoder to enter the settings menu.
   • Short press to select an item.
   • Short press again to cancel the selection.
   • Long press the encoder in any menu interface to exit and return to the previous level.

System Settings:

• Control Mode (Settings → System Setting → Control Mode):
  • Automatic Recognition Mode (Default): Automatically identifies T12, JBC245, JBC210, and 936 heating cores.
  • Manual Mode: Requires manual selection of the heating core type. Automatic identification is disabled in this mode.
• Display UI (Settings → System Settings → Display UI):
  • Switch between the default power bar interface and the power ball interface.
• Voltage Protection (Settings → System Settings → Voltage Protection):
  • Set a custom voltage value. When the battery power reaches this value, the power output will stop to prevent over-discharge.

Sleep and Standby Modes:

• Vibration Sleep Mode (Default): If the handle is not moved for 3 minutes, the unit will automatically enter sleep mode. Picking up the handle resumes operation. Sleep time can be adjusted (Settings → Sleep standby → Sleep time → 0-99 minutes).
• Seat Sleep Mode (Settings → Hibernation Standby → Hibernation Mode → Seat): When the 'S' sleep port is grounded (negative), the unit immediately enters sleep mode. Otherwise, it operates normally.

Maintenance

• Keep the control board clean and free from dust and debris.
• Avoid exposing the board to moisture or extreme temperatures.
• Regularly inspect connections for any signs of wear or corrosion.
• When replacing JBC245 cores, ensure the JBC245 core replacement protection feature is active to prevent short circuits. This feature is not required for T12 and 210 cores.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• "ERROR" displayed on screen:
  • This often indicates an issue with the connected soldering iron handle or heating core.
  • Check all wiring connections for looseness or incorrect polarity.
  • Ensure the correct heating core type is selected in manual mode, or that automatic recognition is functioning.
  • Verify the heating core itself is not faulty.

• Slow Temperature Rise:
  • Verify that the input voltage and current meet the specifications for your heating core. Lower voltage will result in slower heating.
  • Ensure the power supply is capable of delivering the required current.
• Display Issues (e.g., blank screen, flickering):
  • Check power connections to the control board.
  • Ensure the display cable (if external) is securely connected.
  • Compare with other display types (0.96 inch OLED, 0.96 inch LCD) to ensure correct display is being used if multiple options were available.
