(RHS) Hoses & RF Cables  

The remote heat station attaches here. A circular plastic connector conveys 
RF energy to the cable and heat station; plastic tubing routes cooling water 
to and from the heat station. Free-Front configuration (right) co-locates all 
utilities at the rear of your power supply. 

 

IHS Models 

The coil used to apply RF energy to your part attaches here. Compression fittings for ¼” 
tubing are provided. A coil kit is supplied with some orders. 

 

 

Touch-pad & Display 

 

Status LEDs indicate what your EASYHEAT is doing 

 

AC indicator is lighted when unit is turned on 

 

LCD display provides operating information, navigation/programming prompts 

 

START/STOP buttons enable front panel control of heating
