Setting Thermocouples Function

Thermocouples (TC) can be set up from the Work mode menu and can function in three ways:

• C. Control: The unit maintains the selected temperature.
• P. Protection: The Heater Unit stops if the TC reaches the selected temperature.
• Info: The TC temperature is shown on the work display.

TC1 always operates in Control mode for Temperature and Profile modes. Temperatures for each TC can be selected from the work display.

Recommended Guidelines

1. Place the control thermocouple as near as possible to the component being worked on.
2. Use a thermocouple as protection for sensitive components. The Heater Unit will stop the process if the selected protection temperature is reached, showing a warning message.
3. Avoid exceeding ramp-up rates over 3-4 °C/sec (5-7 °F/sec) to reduce thermal stress on the PCB.

Work Mode

Temperature Mode

In Temperature mode, the heater unit maintains the selected temperature for TC1 as long as other TCs do not reach their control/protection limits.

The maximum heating rate (Max Rate) can be defined in this mode.

Diagram showing the Work Mode menu with options for Mode, Time to stop, Thermocouples, and Max Rate.

Power Mode

In Power mode, the heater unit maintains the selected power as long as the thermocouples do not reach their control/protection temperature limits.

Diagram showing the Work Screen displaying selected power and thermocouple temperatures.

Profile Mode

In Profile mode, the heater unit regulates TC1's temperature according to the selected profile, provided other TCs do not exceed their control/protection limits.

Teach Profile

For repetitive jobs, custom profiles can be run without a thermocouple using the Teach profile option. The thermocouple must be connected for the first run. Once saved, the profile can be run without a thermocouple under the same working conditions.

Profiles with Teach profile data are marked with a specific symbol.

These profiles can be run with or without thermocouples, selectable from the Profile mode work screen.

Profile Editor

The Profile editor can be accessed from the main menu or the Profiles mode work screen.

Users can choose from 3 JBC-preset profiles or create and save up to 22 new profiles.

Diagram showing the Profile Editor interface with options to Add Point, Delete Point, Load Profile, Save Profile, and Exit.

JBC Predefined Profiles

JBC offers 3 predefined profiles: A, B, and C, differing in the number of steps (2, 3, or 4). More steps are recommended for thicker or multi-layered PCBs for gradual warming.

These profiles use the low position of the support and can be used as templates.

Graphics

Pressing 'Graphics' on the main MENU displays the TC1 temperature and power 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 asks: “Do you want to save data?”.
4. If Yes: A “Saving data” message appears, taking several minutes. The console then displays the graphics screen. Press the start button to begin working; graphics are displayed in real time.
5. If No: The graphics screen is displayed immediately. Press the start button to begin working; graphics are displayed in real time.

Press Menu to exit Graphics.

Files

Exporting Graphics Data and Exporting/Importing Profile Data

Note: Save at least one data file before exporting graphics/profiles.

1. Connect a USB pen drive to the console (preferably empty for exporting).
2. On the main menu, select Files, then Graphics or Profiles.
3. Options include:
• Remove: To delete a file.
• Export: To export a saved file. A confirmation pop-up appears before data is exported.
• Import: To import a profile from the pen drive.

Updating the Station Software

1. Download the JBC Update File from www.jbctools.com/software.html and save it on a USB flash drive.
2. Insert the USB pen drive into the console. An update icon is displayed during the process.

Working with Pedal

Press the pedal to start heating and again to stop. Once the work mode is defined, the heater unit can operate without the console using the pedal.

Maintenance

• Allow equipment to cool down before maintenance or storage.
• Periodically check that the equipment is clean.
• Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Alcohol can be used only on metal parts.
• Use a scraper for dirt in the glass area if isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is insufficient.
• Replace defective or damaged parts only with original JBC spare parts.
• Repairs should be performed by JBC authorized technical service only.

Fuse Replacement

A blown fuse can be replaced by the user. The fuse is located between the power supply connector and the on/off switch (1).

Important: Ensure the preheater is disconnected from the power supply before replacing a fuse.
