JBC P405 Foot Pedal

Introduction

This manual provides instructions for the JBC P405 foot pedal, a versatile accessory designed to enhance the functionality of various JBC soldering stations and modules.

Package Contents

The package includes:

• 1 x P405 Pedal
• 1 x User Manual (Ref. 0033373)

Connections

Connect the P405 pedal to a JBC station or external device. The connection port is labeled "PEDAL".

Diagram Description: An illustration shows the P405 pedal connected to a JBC station's "PEDAL" port. The pedal is labeled "Pedał Nr prod. P-405". The station port is labeled "PEDAL" and shows "Quali ESD" symbols.

Pedal Compatibility

The P405 pedal is compatible with JBC devices indicated in the table below. An empty circle ◯ signifies that the P405 pedal cannot be directly connected to the JBC controller and requires an additional module.

* Not included, sold separately.

Pedal Configuration

For DDE, HDE, NAE, JNA, JTSE, ALE (Controllers) and PHNK, PHSK, PHBK, PHXK (Preheaters)

Note: External modules MSE, MVE, or MNE are required to connect the pedal to DDE and HDE.

1. Navigate to the Peripherals menu and select the port for the pedal connection.
2. Select the pedal from the list. Remember that the first connection is labeled "a", the second "b", and so on (e.g., PD_a, PD_b).
3. Configure the pedal function according to your needs:
   • Pedal Operation Mode: Choose between Sleep (Standby), Extractor (Hibernation), or Module Switcher.
   • Activation Mode: Select between Pressed (when the pedal is pressed) or Released (when the pedal is released).

   Diagram Description: Screenshots show the JBC interface for configuring the pedal. Options include selecting the port, the pedal (PD_a), and setting the function (e.g., Extractor) and activation mode (e.g., released). A note explains that the activation time can be set for single presses, and holding the pedal activates the function continuously.

   Note: The reverse setting is also possible, activating the function by continuously pressing and releasing the pedal.

For DME (Control Unit)

Note: External modules MSE, MVE, or MNE are required to connect the pedal to DME. A pop-up window appears after connecting one of these modules to the station.

1. To configure the MSE/MVE/MNE module, press the "Setup" button in the pop-up window.
2. Select the appropriate module from the peripheral connection list. Similar to the pedal configuration, connections are labeled "a", "b", etc. (e.g., MS_a, MS_b).
3. Select the tool port to be associated with the peripheral device.
4. Press the Menu or Back button to save changes. Module settings can be modified later via the Peripherals menu.

For FAE1, FAE2 (Fume Extractors)

1. Go to the Main menu and select Port.
2. In the port menu, select Pedal.
3. Configure the pedal function:
   • Activation Mode: Displays the activation mode. Choose between One-touch* or Continuous*.
   • Mode: Select the pedal activation mode: Pressed or Released.

   * One-touch activates the pedal function until a double press. Continuous activates the pedal function while it is pressed.

Example: Reworking Components with SMD Tweezer and Pedal

The foot pedal is frequently used for reworking components with tweezers.

The AN115 adjustable SMD tweezers are effective for desoldering components, and the P405 pedal facilitates quick positioning and soldering.

Diagram Description: An illustration shows the setup: a JBC Nano Control Unit connected to a P405 pedal and AN115 tweezers. The pedal and tweezers are connected to the same port on the control unit. The text indicates to connect the P405 pedal to the same port as the AN115 tweezers and to select "pressed" or "released" in the "Pedal Activation Mode" within the peripherals menu.

Step 2: Desoldering

Remove the tweezer from its holder. Press and hold the pedal to activate the tweezers and desolder the component.

Upon releasing the pedal, the tweezers enter hibernation mode and cool down.

Diagram Description: An illustration shows a hand holding tweezers, pressing a foot pedal, and a component being lifted from a PCB. The JBC station display shows "Hibernation" and "Actual Temp. 45°C".

* Previously selected "Press mode".

Step 3: Pad Cleaning

Clean the pads using the JBC DS360 desoldering tool. This requires a JBC CS desoldering station.

Diagram Description: An illustration shows the DS360 micro-desoldering tool being used to clean pads on a PCB.

Step 4: Solder Paste Application

Apply the necessary amount of solder paste for soldering the new component. It is recommended to use the JBC DPM solder paste dispenser.

Diagram Description: An illustration shows the DPM manual solder paste dispenser applying paste to PCB pads.

Step 5: Positioning

Do not press the pedal. Use the tweezers to position the component on the pre-tinned pad.

Note: An inactive tweezer prevents premature heating of the component.

Diagram Description: An illustration shows tweezers positioning a component on a PCB. The JBC station display shows "Hibernation" and "Actual Temp. 45°C".

Step 6: Soldering

After positioning, press and hold the pedal to activate the tweezers and perform the soldering.

Diagram Description: An illustration shows tweezers soldering a component on a PCB. The JBC station display shows temperature settings.
