Setting Thermocouples Function

• Select Thermocouples from the Work mode menu to set them up.
• The thermocouples (TC) can work in three different ways depending on what is needed.
  • Control: the unit maintains the selected temperature.
  • Protection: the Heater Unit stops if the TC reaches the selected temperature.
  • Info: The temperature is shown on the work display.
• The TC1 is always working in Control mode for the Temperature mode as well as for Profiles mode.
• The temperature of each TC can also be selected from the work display.

Recommended Guidelines

1. Place the control thermocouple as near as possible to the component being worked on.
2. If there are any sensitive components, use a thermocouple as protection.
   • You can select the protection temperature in the thermocouples menu. If the selected temperature is reached, the Heater Unit will stop the process, and a warning message will be shown.
3. We don’t recommend exceeding ramp-up rates over 3 – 4 °C / sec (5 – 7 °F / sectoto reduce the risk of thermal stress on the PCB.

Work Mode

Temperature Mode:
Select Temp. Mode from the Work mode menu. In this mode, the heater unit maintains the selected temperature for the TC1 thermocouple as long as the other TCs do not reach the control/protection temperature limit.

Working within the Temperature Mode, the maximum heating rate value (Max Rate) can be defined (1).

• This function allows you to set a maximum value for the temperature increase per second when heating.
• The maximum heating rate value can be set between 0.10C/s and 2.00C/s (2) or “None” if this function is not desired.

Power Mode:
Select Power mode from the Work mode menu. In this mode, the heater unit maintains the selected power as long as the thermocouples do not reach the control/protection temperature limit.

Profile Mode:
Select Profile mode from the Work mode menu. In this mod, the heater unit regulates the temperature of the TC1 thermocouple according to the selected profile as long as the other TCs do not reach the control/protection temperature limit.

Teach Profile

• For repetitive jobs, it is also possible to run customised profiles without the thermocouple (TC). To do so, the Teach profile option has to be executed before running any profile. It can be executed from the Work mode menu if the Profile mode is selected. The first time, the thermocouple must be connected. Once the profile has been run to the end, the system has all the process data to be saved.
• Once it is saved, you can run this profile without connecting the thermocouple (TC). The heating process will be the same as long as the same working conditions are respected.
• The profiles which already have the data from the Teach profile are marked with this symbol
• These profiles can be run either with or without thermocouples. This can be selected from the

Profile mode work screen:

Profile Editor

• The Profile editor can be opened from the main menu or the Profiles mode work screen by pressing the ‘OK’ button.
• In this mode, the user can choose between the 3 JBC-preset profiles or create and save up to 22 new profiles.

JBC Predefined Profiles

• There are 3 profiles predefined by JBC: A, B and C. The difference between them is the number of steps: 2, 3 or 4. The thicker your PCB is and the more layers it contains, the more steps are needed o obtain gradual warming.
• Predefined profiles use the low position of the support.
• These profiles are not modifiable b, but they can be used as templates to create your profiles.

Graphics

By pressing Graphics on the main MENU, the temperature of the TC1 and the power are displayed in real time.

Graphics Display/Save

1. Select the desired work mode (Temp., Profiles or Power).
2. Press the menu button ( ) and select Graphics.
3. A pop-up window appears asking, “Do you want to save data?”.
4. a A pop-up message appears: “Saving data”.
   This process takes several minutes.
5. a The console displays the graphics screen.
6. a Press the start button to start working. The graphics are displayed in real time until leaving the graphics screen.
   
   • 4.b The graphics screen is displayed immediately.
   • 5.b Press the start button to start working. The graphics are displayed in real time until leaving the graphics screen.

Files

Exporting Graphics Data and Exporting/Importing Profile Data

Note: To export graphics/profiles, it is required to first save at least one data file (see Profile Editor/Graphics sections).

1. Connect a USB pen drive to the console. To export files, it is recommended that the pen drive be empty.
2. On the main menu, select Files, and then Graphics or Profiles.
3. Various options are displayed:
   • To delete a file, select Remove.
   • To export a saved file, select Export. A confirmation pop-up window appears, and then the data is exported to the pen drive.
   • To import a profile (Profiles only) from the pen drive, select Import.

Updating the Station Software

1. Download the JBC Update File from www.jbctools.com/software.html and save t on a USB flash drive (preferably one with no other files).
2. Insert the USB pen drive into the console. The icon is displayed while updating.

Working with Pedal

• Press the pedal to start heating and press again to stop, as if it were the button on the console.
• Once the work mode is defined, the heater unit can work without the console by using the pedal.

Maintenance

• Before carrying out maintenance or storage, always allow the equipment to cool down.
• Check periodically that the equipment is clean.
• Use a damp cloth when cleaning. Alcohol can only be used to clean the metal parts.
• Only if it is necessary and if cleaning with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is not enough, it is recommended to use a scraper to remove dirt in the glass area.
• Replace any defective or damaged parts. Use original JBC spare parts only.
• Repairs should only be performed by a JBC-authorised technical service.
• A blown fuse can be replaced by the user.
• The fuse is located between the power supply connector and the on/off switch (1). To replace a blown fuse, proceed as described below.
• Important: Make sure that the preheater is disconnected from the power supply.
