Features and Connections

B·iRON Console
Note: for references without console blue tooth device like PC or mobile can be connected.

Quick Start

1. Connection
   Connect the stand to the mains (100 – 240 V).
   
2. Cartridge Insertion and Charging
   Insert a cartridge into the tool (1) and place it into the charger on the stand (2).
   Note: Charge the tool completely (30 min) before using for the first time.
   
   The status indicator light idicates as follows the tool status:

   green	working/soldering
   green blinking	charging
   alternating red/green blinking	low battery, less than 20%
   red blinking:	no cartridge
   no color:	power OFF

3. Switching on Console/Device
   Turn on the console/device and open the B·iRON Application:
   
4. Selecting Tool
   Select the tool from the detection list.
   

Console Work Screen

The work screen shows the graph of the current tip temperature and the power supplied to the tip by moving the graph permantely to the left.

Operation

The JBC Most Efficient Soldering System 

This revolutionary technology is able to recover tip temperature extremely quickly. This allows the user to work at a lower temperature. As a result, tip life increases by 5.

Work
When the tool is lifted from the stand the tip will heat up to the selected temperature.

Charging and Hibernation
When the tool is in the stand enters into Hibernation Mode and cools down to room temperature.
While the tool remains in the stand, it charges.

Note: When the tool is lifted from stand the Soldering System acts as follows:

Hibernation
When the tool is outside of the stand and remains inactive (no movement), the tool enters into Hibernation mode and cools down to room temperature.

Turned Off
If the tool has been inactive for a longer period of time, it is turned off.

Turned On
To turn the tool on, put it back into the stand.

Note: If desired, the tool can be swithed off/on. Tab the Tool Power button at the tablet screen (bottom right) to switch it off/on.

Grafics

The work screen shows the automatic recording of the temperature and power grafics.

The automatic recording can be pause by tapping the screen at the grafic area. The automatic recording stops also when the tool stops working.

While the automatic recording is stopped, you can get the temperature/power value in a concret point by tapping the graph on the tablet screen.

The grafic can be moved to the left and right by swiping the touch screen sideways with one finger.

The recording starts automatically as soon as the tool is removed from the stand and the graphic automatically jumps to the end of the last recording and continues with the recording.

Note: When the tool is placed in the stand and is not in use, the temperature/power recording stops. A gap can then be seen in the curve grafics.

Tip Cleaner

Select the option to suit your needs and improve the thermal transfer of the tip.

The antisplash membrane prevents splashing and keeps the work area clean.

Includes a temperature resistant wiper for removing excess solder by gently tapping or wiping the cartridge tip.

If the tip is very dirty, JBC recommends first cleaning it with the wiper to remove excess solder and then with the brass wool.

Wiper

Wiper
Tap gently to remove excess solder.

Wiping
Use the slots to remove remaining particles.

Replacing Brass Wool 

1. Lifting
   Lift and remove the antisplash membrane.
   
2. Replacing
   Replace the brass wool with a new one. Make sure that the brass wool is on the far left and that there is space for the wiper on the right.
   
3. Assembling
   Assemble the antisplash membrane in vertical direction onto the stand.
   
4. Pressing on
   Press the antisplash membrane down. Make sure that the membrane is correctly inserted all around.
   

Note: The brass wool and the wiper position can be reversed by rotating the antisplash membrane 180 degrees

Quick Tip Changer

Save time and change cartridges safely without switching the station off.

1. Removing
   Place the handpiece in the extractor and pull to remove the cartridge
   
2. Inserting
   Place the handpiece on top of the new cartridge and press down slightly.
   
3. Fixing
   Use the holes for fixing the cartridge.
   

Important: Insert the cartridge up to the stop. The charging indicator light changes from red to green when the cartridge is proprely inserted.

Parameters

B·iRON Update

• Download the JBC update file from: https://www.jbctools.com/jbcsoftware.html
• Connect the console/device via USB connection to the PC.
• On the console/device notification bar at the top, open “USB Connection Settings” and select “MTP”.
• On the PC copy the downloaded file to “IT706/internal share storage/JBC”.
• Once copying is finished, disconnect the console/device from the PC.
• On the console/device open the Application (1) and then select “update” (2) on the Application Menu.

Use the update button of the version to be downloaded.

Maintenance

Before carrying out maintenance, always extract the cartridge and disconnect it from the mains.
Allow the equipment to cool down.

• 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 charging works properly.
• Maintain tip surface clean and tinned prior to storage in order to avoid tip oxidation. Rusty and dirty surfaces reduce heat transfer to the solder joint.
• Do not use liquid such as alcohol, thinner or benzene to clean the console.
• Repairs should only be performed by a JBC authorized technical service

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 soldering or rework. Incorrect use may cause fire.
• The power cord must be plugged into approved bases. 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 charge the batteries.
• The soldering tip or nozzle, the metal part of the tool and the stand may still be hot even when the station is turned off.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when it is on.
• 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.
