To conect your power supply cable to the Heater Unit do as follows:

www.jbctools.com

Cable
grommet

Cap

1. Unscrew the four screws and remove the
cover. The cable can be inserted through the
front or the side part of the Preheater Unit,
all you have to do is replace the cap with the
cable grommet.

3. Connect the cables as the scheme and
reassemble.

2. Insert the cable through the cable grommet
and the flange and fix it with the allen screws.
(Image shows single phase connection).

Height Adjustment

PSX, the XL PCb Suppor t, allows to change the heigth between the PCB and the preheater heating
area. It can be choosen between 3 positions for the working height adjustment. To change the
height, do as follows:

To raise the support, hold the base and pull up. To lower the support, press the button and

move down.

It is also possible to use JBC´s metallic supports to stabilize the PCB so as to avoid PCB
deformation. Depending on the working heigth, Ref. PH201*, PH202* or PH203* can be used.
Arrange them between the PCB and the Preheater as shown below.

Setting Thermocouples Function

Select Thermocouples from the Work mode menu to set them up.
The thermocouples (TC) can work in three diferent ways depending on what is needed.

C

· Control: the unit mantains the selected temperature.

P

· Protection: the Heater Unit stops if the TC reaches the selected temperature.

· Info: the TC temperature is shown in the work screen.

The TC1 is always working in Control mode for the Temperature mode as well as for Profiles mode.
The temperature of each TC can also be selected from the work screen.

Recommended Guidelines

1. Place the control thermocouple as near as possible to the component being worked on.

2. If there are any sensitive components, use a thermocouple as protection.

You can select the protection temperature in the thermocouples menu. If the selected temperature
is reached, the Heater Unit will stop the process and a warning message will be shown.

3. IPC* does not recommend exceeding ramp-up rates over 3 - 4 °C / sec (5 - 7 °F / sec) so as to
reduce the risk of thermal stress on the PCB.

* IPC was founded in the U.S. in 1957 as the Institute for Printed Circuits and is commit ted to becoming the
most recognized international industry association for the electronics manufacturing industry.

Teach Pr o f i l e

For repetitive jobs you running profiles without the thermocouple (TC). In order to do so, the Teach
profile mode has to be executed before running any profile. It can be executed from the Work mode

menu if the Profiles mode is selected. Once the profile has been run to the end, the system has all
the process data which you can save.
Once it is saved, you can run this profile without connecting the thermocouple (TC). The heating
process will be the same as long as the same working conditions are respected.

The profiles which already have the data from the Teach profile are marked with this symbol

These profiles can be run either with or without the Thermocouples. It can be chosen from the
Profiles mode work screen:

JBC Set Profiles

There are 3 profiles predefined by JBC: A, B and C. The difference between them is the number of
steps: 2, 3 or 4. The thicker your PCB is and the more layers it contains, the more steps are needed
to obtain a gradual warming.
These profiles are not modifiable but can be used as a template to create your own profiles.

Maintenance

Before carr ying out maintenance or storage, always allow the equipment and the support to cool
down.

- Check periodically that the Pre Heater and the Support are clean.

- Use a damp cloth when cleaning. Alcohol can only be used to clean the metal par ts.

- Only if it is absolutely necessary and if cleaning with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is not enough, it is

recommended to use a scraper to remove dirt in the glass area.

- Replace any defective or damaged parts. Use original JBC spare parts only.

- Repairs should only be performed by a JBC authorized technical service.

16

www.jbctools.com

Safety

It is imperative to follow safety guidelines to prevent electric
shock, injury, fire or explosion.

- Do not use the units for any purpose other than PCB preheating. Incorrect use may cause fire.

- The mains cable must be plugged into approved bases. Make sure that it is properly grounded
before use. When unplugging it, hold the plug, not the wire.

- The temperature of accessible surfaces may remain high after the unit is turned off. Handle with care.

- Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is on.

- Do not cover the ventilation grills. Heat can cause inflamable products to ignite.

- Heat can cause inflamable products to ignite even when out of sight.

- Be careful with the remains of liquid tin. In contact with skin, it can cause burns.

- Avoid flux coming into contact with skin or eyes to prevent irritation.

- Be careful with the smoke produced when soldering.

- Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Wear appropriate protection glasses and gloves when

working to avoid personal harm.

- This appliance can be used by children over the age of eight as well as persons with reduced

physical, sensor y or mental capabilities or lacking experience provided that they have been given

adequate supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance and understand the hazards

involved. Children must not play with the appliance.

- Maintenance must not be carried out by children unless super vised.
