Warnings and precautions The tip temperature can be > 400°C. Please note; ignoring the precautions may lead to injury to users or damage the iSolder-40 Do not touch or change the tip while operating the iSolder-40. Do not use the iSolder-40 near flammable items Do not use the solder station for any function other than Desoldering or soldering the electronic/electrical components. (Do not use it with wood, wax, plastic, etc…) Use only tips and parts supplied by JOVY Systems®.

How to use: 1- Unpack the iSolder-40 and select the proper voltage range from the voltage selector (110VAC/60Hz or 220VAC/50Hz). 2- Place and arrange the iSolder-40 with all other parts in a convenient location in your workspace. 3- Insert the desired tip into the hand piece to end – fastening click heard – by using the protective pad, steps as shown in figure 1 and 2.
4- Plug the power cord into electricity supply and switch on the iSolder-40. 5- If the tip is inserted correctly a green led indicator will start flashing – Heating up mode. If the tip inserted wrongly the led color will be red. 6- Wait for the led indictor light to become green and start using the solder station for soldering process.
Operating modes Guideline Recognize the operating mode and solder station status by the led indicator color and state. Attention! When the tip is disconnected from the hand piece, the controller gives a continuous red light indication on the led indicator. When the controller is active and sensing, the fast flashing Green Led will be seen from time to time. 1)Heating up mode When the tip is fully inserted into the hand piece, the iSolder-40 controller starts to detect the tip.
3)Sleep mode When the iSolder-40 controller senses no usage for 5 minutes, the iSolder-40 starts the sleep mode for saving power. The indicator of this mode is a flashing red led (short on; short off). To get out from sleep mode and turn to operating mode, move the hand piece from the holder and wait until the iControl automatically senses and update the status from Sleep to Operating mode.
Tip care and selection Available tips for iSolder-40: JV-TP1 JV-TP4 JV-TP2 JV-TP3 JV-TP5 JV-TP6 11
Guide for tip selection: Good Too light Too heavy The ideal tip choice is the tip which its active area should cover completely the solder area. The best percentage of soldering area to tip active area is 2:1. Tip care guide for longer life time: - Clean the tip by wiping it with a wet sponge and slightly drag it out after each use. - Never use excessive mechanical force for the tip when soldering.
Hints and Tricks Tip oxidation removal: Firstly, clean the tip using a wet sponge then clean with wire brush. Secondly, use a tip re-activator chemical to remove hard residues and oxidation, and finally retinning using solder wire (flux cored). Make sure that the tip type is compatible to the application – as explained above in tip selection section – with the solder material mass to avoid process failure, tip damage and oxidation.
