Your EASYHEAT uses RF energy to raise the temperature of your work-piece. Most of
this RF energy is transmitted into the work-piece and some is transmitted into the air.
Physical Risks
During the
HeatOn cycle, high RF voltages are present at your work-coil. There are
several risks, which we instruct you to protect against:
Safety Circuits
Your optional normally-closed E-stop switch can be installed in series with the system
24Vdc supply (CTB1:15-16); when the switch opens, all output power and operations
cease. When the switch is re-closed, the power supply returns to
Ready (non-hazardous
state). Your E-stop switch must be isolated (dry-contact), capable of switching 3A
@24Vdc.
The power supply is fitted with an external rear panel jumper (CTB1:15-16) which must
be removed to insert any safety switches required.
•
High Temperatures:
take steps to prevent personal contact with the work-piece you
are heating. Severe burns can result from contact at these temperatures! The
mounting frame on the bottom can heat during normal use, mount work-head to non-
flammable surface, and do not touch until cooled.
•
RF Voltages:
we recommend that you provide protection against personal contact
with the work-coil when it is energized (
Heat On).
•
Induction burns:
the energized work-coil causes nearby metals to become heated;
DO NOT APPROACH ENERGIZED WORK-COIL WHILE WEARING OR
CARRYING METAL OBJECTS!
•
Electric and magnetic fields (EMF):
EMF can affect Implanted Medical Devices.
Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the device
manufacturer before going near induction heating operations.
