Main Screen
The main screen displays:
- Preset Programs Screen: Shows Filter status, Flow, and Aspiration status (ON). Preset aspiration programs: High, Medium, Low.
- Custom Programs Screen: Allows setting custom flow rates and aspiration levels.
Alternative Mounting Option
Configuration for 2 Workplaces
This configuration is activated by setting the Workbench option in the FAE1 main menu to "2".
- Uses FAE1 fume extractor with two flexible arms (FAE070 or FAE020) and FAE010 connection hoses.
Note: For this configuration, continuous suction is not available.
Connection: FAE with NAE-, DI-, and Modular Control Units
JBC control units can be connected to the FAE via an RJ12 cable. When connected, the fume extractor automatically starts suction when the soldering tool is in use. Update control units with the latest version from www.jbctools.com/software.html.
Required Software Version for FAE Functionality:
Control Units | Software Version |
---|---|
DDE, HDE, NAE | 8886160 |
DME | 8886162 |
DI | 8886602 |
With software versions 8886784 (DDE, HDE) and 8886784 (NAE), the connected fume extractor can be configured and controlled via the "Peripherals" menu (1) of the control unit. DI does not support this functionality.
The control unit recognizes the fume extractor as "FAE_a" (2). The tool that should activate suction must be configured in the main menu via the "Tools" menu item (3).
Connect up to 4 JBC control units to the fume extractor's ports (STATION 1, STATION 2, etc.). Each soldering tool connected to these control units can start and stop the extraction.
Connection: FAE with Compact Stations
Use the USB connection cable and adapter or the RJ12 cable to connect JBC soldering stations to the FAE. Both connections allow automatic activation of suction when tools are in use.
Important: First, connect the Compact Station to the fume extractor, then turn on the fume extractor. Otherwise, the Compact Station cannot control the suction.
Firmware Update of the Fume Extractor
The fume extractor can be updated via the USB-B connection using the JBC Updater software. The software can be downloaded from www.jbctools.com/software.html.
Note: For the update process, the Premium Station Cable (RJ12) must be disconnected. If a station is connected to the RJ12 port, the update process will not start.

Activation of the Fume Extractor
When the fume extractor is switched on, the display shows a status similar to the following, with the filter saturation indicator being green if the carbon filter life is more than 20%.
Filter Status Indicators:
- Green: Filter OK
- Yellow: ≤ 20% carbon filter life remaining or nearing saturation
- Red: End of carbon filter life or filter saturated
If the display shows STOP#4, turn off the fume extractor, remove the cover, re-seat it, and secure it with the quick-release levers.
STOP #4: Cover opened or badly closed. Double check the cover.
Troubleshooting
Information on soldering station troubleshooting is available on the website www.jbctools.com under Support > Troubleshooting.
Parameters
Important: Turn off the soldering stations connected to the fume extractor before changing parameters.
Station Parameters:
- Continuous Operation: Activate/deactivate. When activated, operation is controlled by the main switch. Default is OFF.
- Tone: Activate/deactivate keypad tone. Default is ON.
- PIN: Activate/deactivate PIN request for parameter changes. Default is ON.
- Change PIN: Change the default security code. The default PIN is 0105.
- Workplace: Select operating mode for 1 or 2 workplaces (see "Menu Interface" chapter).
Port Parameters:
- Program: Set suction strength. Choose between preset (High, Medium, Low) or custom programs. Custom programs allow up to nine suction levels. Default is Medium.
- Shut-off Delay / Work Area: Duration the extractor maintains suction at the workplace after tool placement. Adjustable from 0-300 seconds. Default is 5 seconds.
- Shut-off Delay / Stand: Duration the extractor maintains suction at the stand after tool placement. Adjustable from 0-999 seconds. Default is 60 seconds.
- Pedal/Activation: Set pedal mode: "pressed" (suction active while pressed) or "released" (press once to activate, press again to stop). Default is "pressed".
- Pedal/Operation Mode: If "Activation" is set to "pressed", "Operation Mode" can be changed to "released". In this mode, suction remains active until the pedal is tapped again. Default is "Pressed".
Filter
Parameters:
- Carbon Life: Remaining activated carbon life in %. A value of 0% triggers STOP#1, indicating filter replacement is needed.
- Saturation: Saturation level of HEPA and carbon filter set in %. 100% saturation triggers STOP#2, indicating filter replacement is needed.
- Reset Carbon Filter Life: Perform after replacing HEPA and carbon filter set. The counter starts when the filter is first recognized. After this procedure, carbon life is 100%.
Suction Control
Suction can be controlled via the pedal connection using Pedal P405 or Pedal P005.

Filter Replacement
The unit indicates on the display and via the LED indicator (3) when filters need replacement.
- To replace filters, remove the cover (1) by opening the side quick-release levers (2).
- If the LED indicator (3) remains red after replacing the pre-filter (4), the compact filter (5) is saturated and must also be replaced.
- After replacing the compact filter (5), the carbon filter counter must be reset (Main Menu: Filter Set > Reset Carbon).
- The compact filter has a maximum shelf life of 1 year after opening the packaging.
- If the compact filter is replaced while the fume extractor is on, the device will start an automatic filter detection after the cover is replaced, activating suction for a few seconds.
Note: The compact filter has a specific orientation. Ensure the filter ribs align with the corresponding slots in the housing.
Connect the filter hose to the quick coupling on the housing.
Adjusting the Quick-Release Levers
To ensure filter tightness, the locking force between the housing and cover can be adjusted by turning the knurled nut of the quick-release lever.
- Turn the knurled nut clockwise to loosen and counter-clockwise to tighten.
