• Depending on the size of the bearing, the
temperature probe might take some time to
register
the irst temperature increase.
This is because the heat is mainly coming from
the bottom part of the bearing and the heat
takes some time to be transferred to the top.
I M P O R TA N T:
The TWIM 15 can heat up components up to
200 °C
(392 °F) . Heating above these temperature
(by for example using Time Mode ) can damage the
heater.
6.2.1 Temperature measurement
• When the heater is not operating, the
temperature of the workpiece can be measured
by pressing MODE and START/STOP at the
same time. Press any button to cancel the
temperature measurement.
• The temperature probe is a valuable part of
the heater. Treat it with care and after use, we
suggest that it is placed on the probe’s parking
spot in the rear left of the heater to avoid
damages on it.
• The surface of the workpiece where the
temperature probe is located should be clean,
dry and lat. Measuring on dirty, wet or curved
surfaces will give wrong temperature readings
and may result in overheating the workpiece or
even damaging the heater.
• When heating one component after another
in warm environments or with very high
temperature settings, the temperature probe
might need some extra time to cool down
before starting a new heating job.
Error code E06 might be triggered then. If this
happens, simply allow some cooling time on a
cold surface.
6.2.2 Change of temperature unit
Press MODE and “+” at the same time to change in
between °C to °F.
Once a heating cycle is completed, the temperature
unit setting remains the same even after
disconnecting the heater from the mains power.
