DDE Work Screen

• The DDE offers an intuitive user interface that provides quick access to station parameters.

Default PIN: 0105

Troubleshooting

• Station troubleshooting is available on the product page on www.jbctools.com

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 confi gurable soldering profi les can be stored.

Export graphics

• Insert a USB flash drive into the USB-A connector to save your soldering process in csv format.

Station update

• Download the JBC Update File from www.jbctools.com/software.html. Insert the USB flash drive with the file downloaded to the station.

System Notifications

The following icons will be displayed on the screen’s status bar.

• USB flash drive is connected.
• Station is controlled by a PC.
• Station is controlled by a robot downloaded to the station.
• Station software update. Press INFO to start the process.
• Warning. Press INFO for failure description.
• Error. Press INFO for failure description, the type of error,and how to proceed.

Peripherals Set Up

Module Set Up

1. After connecting the module, enter the Peripherals Menu and select the port with which you want to connect the module.
2. Select the module from the list of peripheral connections. Remember your first connection is denoted as “a”, the second being “b”, etc. (e.g. MS_a, MS_b,…).
3. Press Menu or Back to save changes.

Pedal Set Up

1. Enter the Peripherals Menu and select the port to which you want to connect the pedal.
2. Select the pedal from the list (Note that your first connection is denoted as “a”, the second being “b”, etc., e.g., PD_a, PD_b,…)
3. Set the pedal function according to your work needs:

Note: The pedal function can be used in reverse. This means that holding the pedal down deactivates the function and releasing the pedal activates the function.

Fume Extractor Set Up
JBC´s DDE/HDE control units can be connected to the fume extractor using an RJ12 cable. This way, the fume extractor automatically starts extraction when the soldering tool is in use. To function with FAE the minimum required software version for DDE/HDE control units is 8886160. Download the newest software version from www.jbctools.com/software.html.

• From DDE/HDE software version 8886887 on, the connected fume extractor can be configured and controlled through the Peripherals (1) menu of the control units.
• 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).

• Extractor Connect up to 4 control units (connector FAE/ROBOT) to the fume extractor connectors (STATION 1, STATION 2, … ). Each tool connected to these control units can start and stop the fume extractor.

Operation

JBC’s Most Efficient Soldering System

• Our revolutionary technology is able to recover the tip temperature extremely quickly.
• It means the user can work at a lower temperature and improve the soldering quality.
• The tip temperature is further reduced thanks to the Sleep and Hibernation modes, which increase up to 5 times the life of the tip.

• Change Work temperature from 90 to 450 ºC. or steps of ±5 ºC / ºF
• Change Sleep temperature and set Sleep delay from 0 to 9 min or no Sleep.
• Change Hibernation delay from 0 to 60 min or no Hibernation.

Tool Settings

• Temp. Levels
• Press, select Tool Settings, and activate the Temp. Levels option.
• or steps of ± 5 ºC / ºF.

Maintenance

Before carrying out maintenance or storage, always allow the equipment to cool.

• 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 before 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 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 and replace it in the station.
• Replace any defective or damaged pieces. Use original JBC spare parts only.
• 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 protective 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.
