Features and Connections

The CS station features an adjustable tool holder, a display for real-time status, and a tip cleaner with an antisplash membrane.

Key Connections:

• Power Socket
• Main Fuse
• Main Switch
• Module Cable (Ref. 0026830)
• USB-B Connector (for PC communication)
• Equipotential Connector
• Earthing Fuse
• RJ12 Connector (for remote control or fume extractor connection)
• Suction Filter (Ref. 0821830)

Adjustable Tool Holder

The position of the tool holder (ref. 0014720) can be easily adjusted by loosening or tightening the knob.

The cable collector (ref. CC1001) keeps the cable away from the work area and prevents it from disturbing the operator during soldering. The cable collector is flexible and adapts to movements.

Tip Cleaner

Select the appropriate cleaning method to improve thermal transfer:

• Splashguard (Ref. 0017576): Prevents splashing of solder and wool particles.
• CL7882 Antisplash Membrane: Prevents splashing and keeps the work area clean.
• CL6210 Brass Wool: Effective cleaning method that leaves a small layer of solder on the tip, preventing oxidation.
• CL7984 Wiper: A receptacle for removing excess solder by gently tapping or wiping. JBC recommends using the wiper to remove excess solder before using brass wool for very dirty tips.

Wool/Brush Replacement

1. Unlock the splashguard.
2. Lift off the splashguard and change the worn brass wool/brush for a new one.

More cleaning options:

• CL6205 Inox Wool: A stronger cleaning method than brass wool.
• CL6220 Metal Brush: Provides more thorough cleaning when used carefully.
• CL7984 Wiper: For tapping (gently removing excess solder) or wiping (removing remaining particles).
• S0354 Sponge: The softest cleaning method. Keep the sponge damp with distilled water to avoid tip wear.

Tip Care

To prevent tip oxidation, cover the tip with solder tin when not in use.

Note: Do not press the vacuum pump button while tinning the desoldering tip, as fumes can block ducts and the air filter.

Changing Tips

Note: This operation should be performed while the tip is hot (minimum 250°C) so that any tin inside is molten.

1. To remove the tip, use flat-nosed pliers, twist, and pull.
2. To fasten the tip, place pliers directly in front of the spring, not on the spring clamp.

Cleaning Tips

The tip hole should be periodically cleaned.

Note: Let the tool cool down before cleaning.

Choose the cleaning rod diameter according to the tip size. Insert the rod into the tip and move it back and forth gently while turning slightly.

Compatible Tips

The CS station works with C360 tips and DS360 irons. Find the model that best suits your needs at www.jbctools.com.

Through-Hole Desoldering Tips

Pad Cleaning Tips

Desoldering Process

When desoldering, use a tip with a diameter larger than the pad for maximum suction and thermal efficiency.

1. Placing: Place the tip with the component terminal in the hole.
2. Circular movement: When the solder liquefies, describe gentle circles around the pin.
3. Aspirating: Press the vacuum pump button long enough to remove the solder.

The vacuum pump will continue to run for a few seconds to ensure the circuit is empty. If any solder remains, resolder with fresh solder and repeat the process.

Desoldering Iron Maintenance

Note: For maintenance, turn off the station or disconnect the tool and wait for it to cool down.

Changing the Heating Element

1. Remove the filter before changing the heating element.
2. Remove the set screw and take out the heating element.
3. Insert the new heating element into the tool.
4. Tighten the set screw and insert the filter.

Changing the Iron Filter

1. Remove the tube from the filter.
2. Remove the filter from the tool.
3. Insert a new filter (ref. 0008473) into the tool and mount the tube onto the filter.

Cleaning the Solder Collector

Note: Turn off the station or disconnect the tool and wait for it to cool down before cleaning.

1. Remove the filter before cleaning the solder collector.
2. Take out the solder collector with the metal solder retention.
3. Use the cleaning brush (ref. 0008297) to clean the solder collector or replace it with a new one.
4. Insert the solder collector with the metal solder retention into the heating element.
5. Mount the filter onto the tool.

Electric Desoldering Module

Note: Always unplug the equipment before carrying out maintenance.

If suction is lost, check for obstructions in the tool (tip, heating element, filter), tube, or suction filters.

Changing Pump Filters

Periodically check and replace filters if they appear yellowish.

Note: Do not use sharp pointed objects to open the suction filter.

Components: Suction Filter (Ref. 0821830), Cotton Filters (Ref. 0781046), O Ring (Ref. 0007717), Filter Cover (Ref. 0004710), Spare Filters (Ref. 0005966).

Operation

JBC's Most Efficient Soldering System offers rapid tip temperature recovery, allowing users to work at lower temperatures and extending tip life up to five times longer.

1. Work: When the tool is lifted from the stand, the tip heats up to the selected temperature.
2. Sleep: When the tool is in the stand, the temperature falls to the preset sleep temperature.
3. Hibernation: After periods of inactivity, power is cut off, and the tool cools to room temperature.

Tool Settings:

• Operating Temp: Select temperature between 90 and 450 °C using ↑/↓ (±5 °C/°F) or ◄/► (±50 °C/°F).
• Temp. Levels: Press Menu, select Tool Settings, and activate Temp. Levels to set up to 3 values. Use ↑/↓ (±5°C/°F).
• Sleep: Change Sleep temperature and set Sleep delay from 0 to 9 min or no Sleep.
• Hibernation: Change Hibernation delay from 0 to 60 min or no Hibernation.

• Periodically check that metal parts of the tool and tool holder are clean for proper station status detection.
• Maintain the tip surface clean and tinned before storage to prevent oxidation.
• Periodically check all cables.
• Replace defective or damaged parts with original JBC spare parts only.
• Repairs should only be performed by JBC authorized technical service.

Fuse Replacement:

If the 'EARTH FUSE' warning appears, the earthing fuse must be replaced. Replace blown fuses as follows (applies to both earthing and main fuses):

1. Pull off the fuse holder and remove the fuse. Use a tool if necessary.
2. Insert the new fuse into the fuse holder and return it to the station.

Safety

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

• Do not use the units for purposes other than soldering or rework. Incorrect use may cause fire.
• Ensure the power cord is plugged into approved, properly grounded bases. Hold the plug, not the wire, when unplugging.
• Do not work on electrically live parts.
• Place the tool in the stand when not in use to activate sleep mode. The tool may be hot even when the station is off. Handle with care.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is on.
• Do not cover ventilation grills, as heat can ignite flammable products.
• Avoid flux contact with skin or eyes to prevent irritation.
• Be careful with fumes produced during soldering.
• Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Wear appropriate protection glasses and gloves.
• Take care with liquid tin waste, which can cause burns.
• This appliance can be used by children over eight and individuals with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience, provided they receive adequate supervision or instruction and understand the hazards. Children must not play with the appliance.
• Maintenance must not be carried out by children unless supervised.
