RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

For soldering and desoldering

- Clean the contacts and the printed circuit
to be desoldered of dust or dirt.

- Preferably select a temperature below
350°C (662ºF). Excess temperature may
cause the printed circuit tracks to break
loose.

- The tip must be well tinned for good heat
conduction. If it has been inoperative for
any length of time, it should be retinned.

Safety measures

- Incorrect use of this tool may cause fire.

- Be cautious when using the tool in places
where inflamable products are stored.

- Heat can cause fire to inflamable products
even when they are not in sight.

- Do not use when the atmosphere is
explosive.

- Place the tool back on its stand in order to
let it cool down before you store it.

Display messages

- HIBERNATION: Tool completely cold. Minimum

charge mode.

- SLEEP MODE: Short temperature tool (with in

200 to 280 Cº depending on tool).

- OPEN CIRCUIT. Heating element with open

circuit. Possible causes:
The cartridge has not been inserted correctly
in the tool.
Damaged cartridge.

- OVERLOAD. The maximum available power

has been exceeded for too long. You must
wait and the station will automatically reset.

PROGRAMMING

The system allows you to modify and adjust the
temperature between 90 and 500ºC (190 and
930ºF). These are the factory pre-selected
temperatures:

- Minimum temperature: 90ºC

- Maximum temperature: 450ºC

In order to modify the station and tool parameters
and have access to the counters, you must hold
the SELECT key for 3 seconds. The PIN number
must be entered when you need to change a
station parameter. Default PIN number: 0105.

You will find the operation diagrams are on the
following pages.

INTRODUCTION TO THE JBC ADVANCED
SYSTEM

The exclusive and new JBC microprocessor
driven heating system ensures such a fast heat
recovery that it enables performing at lower
temperatures than before and improving a 40%
the efficiency of the station.

SLEEP FUNCTION
Tool in sleep mode

One feature of the Advanced series is that
when the tool is placed in the stand, the
temperature automatically drops to the sleep
temperature. This function is possible
because of the quick response time that
allows the user to switch from sleep
temperature to working temperature very
quickly. Thanks to the sleep mode, oxidation
levels at the tip are much lower and therefore
the tip life is extended 3 to 5 times.

The sleep function parameters can be
modified using the station program.

In order to take full advantage of the sleep
mode and as a security measure, it is
necessary to place the tool in the stand
when it is not being used.

Hibernation mode

Apart from the "SLEEP" mode the HD 4700
features a hibernation mode.
In this mode the tool cools down to room
temperature but it goes back to working
temperature as soon it is picked up.
A tool can enter into hibernation mode after
entering into the "SLEEP" mode. Changing into
hibernation mode starts from the moment you are
in "SLEEP" mode.
Hibernation can be modified using the «SETUP»
sub menu. See page 22.

OPERATION

Use of keys

See the selected temperature.

Increases and decreases the
temperature.

The tip life is directly related to the
temperature and time. With a greater
temperature for a longer time, the tip duration
is reduced in an exponential form.

Due to this, it is advisable to keep the soldering
iron in the support at sleep temperature (200ºC
approximately) to increase the tip life.

JBC reserves the right to make technical changes without prior
notification.

It is possible to extend the stand cable by
using an accessory called “stand cable
extension”, Ref. 0781286. By doing so, the user
can have the control unit further away from the
tools and off his/her work table.

For the aspiration tube of the desoldering iron,
a silicone tube extension kit, Ref. 0781287, has
also been manufactured.
For both kits, the length of the cable is 1.5 m.
