• Fuse: Houses the main fuse.

The work screen on the JBC JTSE-9UA provides quick access to station parameters and displays the following information:

• Status Bar: Shows the current status of the station.

• Time to Stop: Displays a timer, for example “4m 38s”.

• Current Air Temp: The large number in degrees (e.g., 400°C) shows the real-time temperature of the hot air.

• Selected Air Flow: The large percentage (e.g., 80%) shows the currently selected air flow rate.

• Instant Power Supplied to Heater: A percentage value (e.g., Power 45%) indicating the current power being used by the heater.

• Selected Air Temp: The temperature that the tool is set to reach (e.g., 400°C Selected).

• Current External TC Temp: Shows the temperature from an optional external thermocouple (e.g., TC Temp. 20°C).

• Selected External TC Temp: The target temperature for the external thermocouple when used for protection (e.g., Protection 120°C Selected).

The JBC JTSE-9UA provides several menu options for station configuration:

• Station: Set the station parameters.

• Tools: Set the tool parameters.

• Counters: Display the hours worked in each cycle.

• Language: It is possible to choose the language from a list.

• Reset: Allows you to carry out an overall station reset, restoring all the parameters to their default values.

The default PIN to access these settings is 0105.

To work with profiles, which allow you to set up to 25 air flow and temperature profiles, it is essential to use RWB / RWS / RWT rework arms. These support the Hot Air Heater, maintaining the distance and position to the component.

In the profiles mode, you can view a graph displaying the “Profile Name”, “Current Air Temp.”, “Current External TC Temp.”, and “Current Air flow”.

To edit a profile, enter the “Edit Mode”. Here you can see data for specific points in the profile, such as:

• Point (e.g., 2/5)

• Temp (e.g., 250°C)

• Flow (e.g., 60%)

• Time (e.g., 2m 30s)

The “Menu Options” available in edit mode are:

• Add point

• Delete point

• Load profile

• Save profile

• Exit

By pressing “Graphics” in the main MENU, temperature and power figures in real time are displayed on a graph. This helps you decide which nozzle to use to obtain the best quality solder joints. The graph shows Power (%), Temperature, and External Temp.

To export these graphics:

1. Insert a USB flash drive into the USB-A connector on the station.

2. The station will save your soldering process in a CSV format file on the flash drive.

To update the software on your JBC JTSE-9UA:

1. Download the JBC Update File.

2. Insert a USB flash drive with the downloaded file into the station’s USB-A connector.

3. A station software update icon will appear. Press INFO to start the process.

The following icons can be displayed on the screen’s status bar of your JBC JTSE-9UA:

• USB flash drive icon: A USB flash drive is connected.

• PC icon: The station is controlled by a PC.

• Robot icon: The station is controlled by a robot.

• Circular arrows icon: Station software update is available. Press INFO to start the process.

• Exclamation mark icon (!): Warning. Press INFO for a failure description.

• Cross icon (X): Error. Press INFO for a failure description, the type of error, and how to proceed.

You can select the mode to activate the hot air tool from the Tool Settings Menu. There are two primary modes:

1. Tool button: Press the start/stop button on the tool to blow hot air. Pressing the button again will stop the air flow.

2. Pedal (not included): Press the Pedal P405 to blow hot air and release it to stop.

For safety, if the stand is connected to the station, the tool will also stop blowing when it is returned to the stand.

Follow these steps to extract a component:

1. Placing: Position the extractor with the appropriate suction cup over the component and press the suction button.

2. Heating: Heat the component with the hot air tool.

3. Extracting: The component will lift off automatically when the solder melts.

The recommended method depends on the component size:

• For small components: It is recommended to use the protector + tripod setup. Place the protector over the component and use the tripod to hold the hot air tool.

• For large components: It is recommended to use the manual extractors. Position the extractor over the component and heat it manually.

Connect a TC type K (PH218) to the station to use it as a protection or regulation sensor. You can define its use mode via the “Ext TC mode” option in the “Tool” menu. Fix the TC with Kapton Tape (Ref. PH217) as near as possible to the component being worked on. If Kapton tape is not ESD, you must use an ionizer.

There are two work modes:

• Regulation: The station automatically regulates the air temperature to maintain the External Thermocouple (TC) temperature at a set value.

• Protection: The station cuts the air supply off when the External Thermocouple (TC) temperature reaches a set value.

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

Always turn the tool off and handle with care, as the heating element and nozzle may still be hot.

1. Removing Nozzle:

Place the heating element with its nozzle in the nozzle changer on the stand and pull the tool to remove it. The nozzle will come to rest in the nozzle holder.

2. Attaching Nozzle:

Attach the new nozzle and press the nozzle onto the heating element with the help of the opening in the nozzle exchanger.

If you encounter a loosely fitting nozzle, follow these steps:

1. Push the nozzle tab inwards with a screwdriver or flat-nosed pliers.

2. Assemble the nozzle onto the JTT heater hose again.

Note: Only perform this operation when the element is cold and the unit is disconnected from the mains.

1. Loosen the screw (1) on the handle.

2. Pull the worn heating element out of the handle (2).

3. Insert the new heating element, making sure it is pushed all the way in.

4. Tighten the screw (1).

The correct heating element for the JTT tool is JTH1 (Ref. 0014105 for 100V/120V) or JTH2 (Ref. 0014107 for 230V).

Note: Only perform this operation when the station is turned off.

1. Use a spanner to unscrew the nut (1) at the base of the control unit.

2. Remove the old tool hose from the control unit (2).

3. Insert the new hose, making sure it is pushed all the way into the connector.

4. Tighten the nut (1) with the spanner.

Before carrying out maintenance, always allow the equipment to cool.

• Clean the station screen with a glass cleaner or a damp cloth.

• Use a damp cloth to clean the casing and the tool. Alcohol can only be used to clean the metal parts.

• Periodically check that the metal parts of the tool and stand are clean so that the station can detect the tool’s status.

• Periodically check all cables and tubes.

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

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

To replace a blown fuse, follow these steps:

1. Pull off the fuse holder located near the power socket and remove the fuse. If necessary, use a tool to lever it off.

2. Insert the new fuse into the fuse holder and return it to the station. Use only with a 250V fuse.

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 soldering or rework. Incorrect use may cause a fire.

• The power cord must be plugged into approved bases. Be sure that it is properly grounded before use. When unplugging it, hold the plug, not the wire.

• Do not work on electrically live parts.

• The tool should be placed in the stand when not in use in order to activate the sleep mode. The nozzle, the metal part of the tool and the stand may still be hot even when the station is turned off. Handle with care, including when adjusting the stand position.

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

• Do not cover the ventilation grills. Heat can cause inflammable products to ignite.

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

• Be careful with the fumes produced when soldering.

• Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Wear appropriate protection glasses and gloves when working to avoid personal harm.

• Utmost care must be taken with liquid tin waste which can cause burns.

• This appliance can be used by children over the age of eight and also people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience provided that they have been given adequate supervision or instruction concerning the 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 supervised.
