Parameter Description
Warnings
Be careful when using these parameters as they may reduce the tip life if not used properly.
Please follow the recommended guidelines:
Parameters
Minimum temperature
Set the minimum temperature
to work with.
Min. temp. by default is 200ºC
(392ºF). This is considered 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.
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 soldering (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. multilayered or high
dissipation boards), JBC
strongly recommends using
other aids like preheaters.
Soldering Assistant
Enable/disable Soldring
Assistant mode
PIN
Change the default security
PIN number (0105).
The PIN must be entered every
time a parameter is changed.
Sound
Enable/disable the beep
sound of the keypad.
Date&Time
Set the Date and the Time.
Two menu types are available. Main menu limits the acces to change parameters, advanced menu
gives acces to all parameter changes.
Menu Settings
Use Soldering Assistant “on” and
ok button to access and change
the similarity percentages.
