Parameters
Be careful when changing these parameters as they may reduce the tip life if not used properly.
Please follow the recommended guidelines:
General Settings
Parameter Description
Program Version
Shows the program version
number.
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 considered to
be a proper starting point for
leaded applications.
PIN
Change the default security
PIN number (0105).
Sound
Enable/disable the beep
sound of the keypad.
Recommendations
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).
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. multilayered or high
dissipation boards), JBC
strongly recommends using
other aids like preheaters.
