Features and Connections

Tool Holder Assembly

Tool Holder Replacement

• Loosen the screw (1) and remove the tool holder (2).
• Insert the new tool holder (3) and tighten the screw (4).

Connection: NAE Control Unit with FAE
JBC´s NAE control unit feature a connector that allows connecting it to the fume extractor using an RJ12 cable. This way, the fume extractor automatically starts extraction when the soldering tool is in use.
The minimum required software version for NEA control units is 8886160. To ensure correct operation, always update the control units with the latest available software Version, which can be downloaded from www.jbctools.com/software.html.

From version 8886784 on, the connected fume extractor can be configured and controlled through the peripherals menu (1) of the control unit NAE.

Each control unit detects the fume extractor as “FAE_a” (2). The tool that should activate the fume extraction needs to be configured on the control unit main menu through the tool menu option (3).

*For FAE1 and FAE2: Up to 4 control units can be connected to the connectors marked with STATION 1, STATION 2, etc. Each tool connected to these control units can start and stop the fume extractor.

Work Screen

The work screen offers an intuitive user interface which provides quick access to station parameters. Default PIN: 0105

Advanced Functionalities

It provides detailed graphics of tip temperature and power delivery in real time during solder joint formation for analysis purposes. This helps you decide how to adjust your process or which tip to use to obtain the best quality soldering.

Designed to avoid thermal shock when soldering Ceramic Chip components like MLCC, this new and unique feature allows controlling the heating rate to gradually increase the temperature of the component through all the phases of the soldering process. Up to 25 fully configurable soldering profiles can be stored.

Operation

JBC’s Exclusive Heating System
This revolutionary technology is able to recover tip temperature extremely quickly.
This allows the user to work at a lower temperature.
As a result, tip life increases by 5.

1. Work
   When the tool is lifted from the holder the tip will heat up to the selected temperature.
2. Hibernation
   When the tool is in the holder, the power is cut off and the tool cools down to room temperature.

• Tool Settings:
  Operating Temp. and Temp. Levels
  Press , select Tool Settings and activate the Temp. Levels option.
  Change Work temperature and Temp.
  Levels from 90 to 450 °C.
  steps of ±5 °C / °F
• Tool Settings:
  Hibernation
  Change Hibernation delay from 0 to 60 min or no Hibernation.

Changing Cartridges
Save time and change cartridges safely without having to switch the station off.

Removing
Place the cartridge into the extractor slot (1) and pull the handle to remove the cartridge (2).

Inserting
Push the new cartridge into the handle up to the reference ring Aligning
Use the holes to rotate the cartridges for proper alignment.

Example:
Chip Component Rework Process using Tweezers and Pedal

The pedal is frequently used to rework components with tweezers.
AN115, JBC’s Adjustable Nano Tweezers, is the most effective tool for desoldering chip components.
It also facilitates rapid placement and soldering of the components by using P405 Pedal with JBC´s
NAE Control Unit.

* “Press Mode” previously selected

Desoldering*
Lift the tweezers from the holder, press and hold the pedal to activate the tweezers and desolder the component.
Once the pedal is released, the tweezers enter in hibernation mode and cool down.

 

Pad Cleaning
Clean the pads with JBC´s desoldering tool DS360.
For this operation, JBC´s desoldering station CS is needed.

Solder Paste Dispensing
Apply the needed amount of solder paste to solder the new chip component.
It is recommended to use JBC´s DPM Solder Paste Dispenser.

Placing
Do not press the pedal.
Use the tweezers to position the component on the previously tinned pad.

Note:
The inactive tweezers prevent the component from heating up prematurely.

Soldering
Once in position, press and hold the pedal to activate the tweezers and perform the soldering.

Changing Soft Foam Grips
Soft foam grips for NT115 Nano Handles ensure better manual control of the handle and greater com-fort when working.
Soft foam grips are available in 3 different colors:

N8662 green
Ref. 0018662 (incl. 4x grips)

N3308 blue
Ref. 0023308 (incl. 4x grips)

 N3309 black
Ref. 0023309 (incl. 4x grips)

Replace the grips easily using the included fitters as shown in the following pictures.

• Inserting Fitters
  Insert the fitters into the newgrip.
• Assembling Grip
  Push the grip with the fitters onto the nano handle.
• Removing Fitters
  To remove the fitters, hold the grip and pull the fitters out. Use pliers if necessar

Changing the Tip Cleaning System

• Pull back the tab (1) to remove the cleaning system (2).
• Remove the splashguard from the drawer and a new one.
• Reattach the cleaning system to the station.

Maintenance

Before carrying out maintenance, always switch the device off and disconnect it from the mains. Allow the equipment to cool down.

– Clean the station screen with a glass cleaner or a damp cloth.
– 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’s status.
– Maintain the 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.
– Replace any defective or damaged pieces. Use original JBC spare parts only.-
– Replace a blown fuse as follows:

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 an

Repairs should only be performed by a JBC authorized technical service.

Safety

It is imperative to follow safety guidelines to prevent electric shock, injury, fire or explosion.

• Do not use the units for any purpose other than soldering or rework. Incorrect use may cause a fire.
• The power cord must be plugged into approved bases. Be sure that it is properly grounded before use. When unplugging it, hold the plug, not the wire.
• Do not work on electrically live parts.
• The tool should be placed in the stand when not in use in order to activate the sleep mode. The soldering tip or nozzle, the metal part of the tool and the stand may still be hot even when the station is turned off. Handle with care, including when adjusting the stand position.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is on.
• Do not cover the ventilation grills. Heat can cause inflammable products to ignite.
• Avoid flux coming into contact with skin or eyes to prevent irritation.
• Be careful with the fumes produced when soldering.
• Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Wear appropriate protection glasses and gloves when working to avoid personal harm.
• Utmost care must be taken with liquid tin waste which can cause burns.
• This appliance can be used by children over the age of eight and also people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of 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.
