Tool Settings
Sleep delay
Set the time that the tool will
remain at the selected tempe-
rature when in the stand be-
fore entering sleep mode. The
tip temperature will then drop
to the Sleep temperature.
Sleep temperature
This is the set temperature the
tip reaches when returned to
the stand.
Fix one temperature
Fix a value within the
temperature range of the sta-
tion (90-450ºC/190-840ºF).
Temperature levels set
Similar to “Fix one temp”
parameter. In this case, the
user can set up to 3 values for
different power requirements.
The sleep temperatures
are set to achieve a ba-
lance between preventing
oxidation and reaching the
working temperature in a few
seconds.
Ideal for soldering more than
one component at a specific
temperature. The station will
reject any attempt to change
the temperature.
This allows a quick change
between 3 different tempe-
ratures. Set them according
to the allowed values for your
soldering applications.
Because our tools reach the
working temperature from the
deafult Sleep mode in only a
few seconds, this parameter
is preset to 0 min. Once the
tool is returned to the stand
the temperature will automati-
cally drop to the sleep tempe-
rature, extending tip life and
avoiding oxidation. Retinning
the tip before placing the tool
in the stand will protect the tip
and extend its life.

Setting these
parameters to higher
values will unnecessarily
accelerate oxidation
and shorten tip life
especially when working
with temperatures up to
450°C (840°F).
Parameters
Station Settings
Minimum temperature
Set the minimum
temperature to work with.
Min. temp. by default is
200ºC (392ºF). This is consi-
dered to be a proper starting
point for leaded applications.
Maximum temperature
Set the maximum
temperature to work with.
Max. temp by default is 400°C
(750°F). This is considered
high enough to work with
most lead-free applications.
Temperature unit
Celsius (ºC) or Fahrenheit (ºF)
Metronome
This activates a beep sound.
Frequencies vary from 1 to 50
seconds.

Beep
enable/disable the beep
sound of the keypad.
Change pin
Change the default security
PIN number (0105).
Recommendations
Parameter description
The PIN must be entered
every time a parameter is
changed.
Useful for setting a work rate
in repetitive jobs. The beep
lets you know the length of
time the tip must be in con-
tact with the soldering joint.

Warnings
The station temperature
range is 90-450ºC
(190-840ºF). Change the
temperature limits when
working with less common
applications such as low /
high melting point solde-
ring (HMP) or plastics (e. g.
riveting).

In most cases,
working with temperatures
over 400°C (750°F) can
damage the PCB and its
components. even in short
time periods of tip contact
with the soldering joint, the
flux may not work properly
and could seriously reduce
tip life.
If the solder joint requires
more power (e.g. multila-
yered or high dissipation
boards), JBC strongly
recommends using other
aids like preheaters.
Be careful when using these parameters as they may reduce the tip life if not used properly. Please
follow the recommended guidelines:
