Sleep and hibernation mode
Thanks to automatic detection of the tool in the stand, JBC Soldering and Rework Stations are able to make the tools entering in Sleep & Hibernation mode when not being used. As a result, tip life lasts up to 5 times longer than with conventional systems.
Sleep mode automatically lowers tip temperature below solder melting point when the tool rests in the stand. It prevents the dissolution of tips iron coating into molten solder.
After a configurable period of tool inactivity in the stand (10 min factory default), the tool enters in Hibernation mode. It cuts off power supply making the tip to reach room temperature thus preventing oxidation and saving energy.
