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
t e m p e r a t u r e . T h i s f u n c t i o n i s p o s s i b l e
because of the quick response time that
a l l o w s t h e u s e r t o s w i t c h f r o m s l e e p
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.
T h e s l e e p f u n c t i o n p a r a m e t e r s c a n b e
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.
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.
Hibernation mode
Apart from the "SLEEP" mode the DI 2860 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 32.
PROGRAMMING
The system allows you to modify and adjust the
temperature between 90 and 450ºC (190 and
840ºF). These are the factory pre-selected
temperatures:
- Minimum temperature: 90ºC
- Maximum temperature: 400ºC
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.
Display messages
- HIBERNATION: The station is in hibernation
mode.
- OPEN CIRCUIT. Heating element with open
circuit. Possible causes:
The cartridge has not been inserted correctly
in the tool.
Damaged cartridge.
- MAXIMUM POWER. The maximum available
power has been exceeded for too long - e.g.
in very thick and repetitive soldering jobs.
- SHORTCIRCUIT. Short circuit in the system.
Possible causes:
Short circuit in the cartridge or in the handpiece.
- WRONG TOOL.
Possible causes: use of a tool which is not
compatible with the station.
- OVERLOAD. To prevent the station from
overheating, you must wait and the station will
automatically reset.
Possible causes: excesive power demand.
Once you correct the above mentioned causes,
the station will start working automatically, except
if there is an excess in energy supply (MAXIMUM
POWER). In this case, the station has to be
switched off and restarted.
