6. Magnetic Temperature Probe

Always use magnetic temperature probe (hereafter referred to as
the ‘probe’) for heating in the Temperature Mode.

The probe can be used as a temperature-control aid for heating in
the Time Mode.

The probe is suitable for operation up to a maximum temperature of 240ºC (464ºF) - special
probes are supplied with custom machines designed to operate above this temperature.

As a safety feature, the connection between magnet and probe will break above the maximum
temperature. If this occurs when operating in the Temperature Mode, the machine will turn
itself off since the probe will fail to register any increase in the temperature over a set period of
time.

A probe fixed to a clamp is also available when heating non-magnetic work pieces.

Ensure that the area where the probe is located is
completely clean.

Always place the probe as close as possible to the bore
of the work piece (see opposite).

Connect the probe by inserting the plug into the socket at
the back of the heater (the terminals have a different
orientation, so that the plug will only fit in one).
CAUTION!

Treat the probe with care. It is a valuable part of the heater and can easily be broken through
careless handling. After use, we suggest that it is placed on the side of the vertical pole.
