JBC PHS-1C - Two Zone Infrared Preheater
The JBC PHS-1C is a two zone infrared preheater with a 130x135mm heating area.
The PHS-1C pre-heater enables work at lower temperatures, increasing tip life while reducing thermal stress. Through the console, users can select 2 independent heating zones, as well as the operation mode: by power or by temperature.
The PHS-1C contains three predefined temperature profiles, and the ability to store 20 additional custom settings.
Why Infrared? The most efficient technology for PCB preheating
This is the most advanced, efficient and cost-effective method to preheat PCBs in any soldering job or rework job. The low thermal mass of the infrared element gives outstanding control of the heat output and the process temperature. This technology provides fast response, high heating rates and uniform heating that ensure the best results.
Profiles by Temperature
The usual way to run a profile is using the Thermocouple (TC) connected to the Control Input of the console. JBC offers 3 predefined profiles (JBCset) and 10 profiles ready for you to personalize.
JBCset profiles
There are 3 profiles predefined by JBC: A, B and C. The difference between them is the number of steps: 2, 3 or 4. The thicker your PCB is and the more layers it contains, the more steps are needed to obtain a gradual warming.
These profiles are not modifiable but they can be used as a template to create your own profiles.

User profiles
You can create your own profiles from the JBCset profiles. On the work screen of the profile, press the
Enter button and choose the option
Edit profile.
For repetitive jobs
we recommend running profiles without the Thermocouple (TC). Once any profile has been run to the end, the system has all the process data which you can save.
Once it is saved, you can run this profile without connecting the Thermocouple (TC). The heating process will the same as long as the same working conditions are respected.
