7. Operation
There are two modes of heating:
Temperature Mode: Time Mode:
• Used for controlled heating up to the
desired temperature.
• Used when you wish to keep the work
piece at the desired temperature for up to
15 minutes.
• Suitable for batch production. If the
time taken to heat the work piece to the
desired temperature is known.
• Emergency use if the temperature probe
is lost or defective. The temperature
of the work piece should be checked
using an external thermometer.
Using the Temperature Mode (Default mode whenever the machine is
switched on)
• Set up the work piece and probe according to the instructions in sections
5 & 6.
• Switch the machine on. The display will show 100c (or 100F). Enter the desired
temperature to which the work piece will be heated up to using the ‘

key (by pressing the temperature mode key (
·
) you can choose between
steps of 1º or 10º - this is the same whether working in C or F).
• Press the ‘START’ key. Heating starts and a soft buzzing sound will be
heard.
• The current temperature of the work piece appears on the display. When
the desired temperature has been reached, the display starts to blink and
a loud beeping is emitted. Unless you press the
‘STOP’ key, the heat-
retention function
will keep the bearing at that temperature for 5 minutes.
The machine resumes heating after a temperature drop of 3º (C or F). When
the set temperature is reached once more the induction heater emits a
loud beep. Press the
‘STOP’ key to switch off the machine.
• The heating process or the heat-retention function can be interrupted at
any time by pressing the ‘STOP’ key.
Using the Time Mode
• Set up the work piece and temperature probe according to the instruc-
tions in sections 5 & 6 (the temperature probe is only necessary if you
want to check the temperature).
