Parameters
Be careful when using these parameters as they may reduce the tip life if not used properly.
Please follow the recommended guidelines:
Station Settings
Parameter description
Temperature unit
Celsius (ºC) or Fahrenheit (ºF)
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.
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.
Metronome
This activates a beep sound.
Frequencies vary from 1 to 50
seconds.
Help text

receive info from the system.
Beep
Enable/disable the beep
sound of the keypad.
Change pin
Change the default security
PIN number (0105).

Recommendations
N/a
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).
Useful for setting a work rate
in repetitive jobs. The beep
lets you know the length of
time the tip must be in contact
with the soldering joint.
N/a
N/a
The PIN must be entered
every time a parameter is
changed.
Warnings
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.
