9.1 HEATING INDICATOR LAMP
•
Indicates heating status.
The desired heating mode can be set or switched by pressing and holding down the selection
wheel
– the display shows the corresponding mode name CP/CF and the indicator lamp
changes colour.
Press the selection wheel
to move to further device parameter settings, such as the heating
timer, etc.
Note:
If the power is controlled remotely, the letters “rc” are displayed for 3 sec when turning the
encoder.
9.2 ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
•
Check the coolant level and refill if necessary.
•
Connect the device to a power socket (16Amp preferred) and turn it on using the switch at the
back of the device.
•
The device auto diagnostic test (self-test) is initiated automatically and the cooling circuit is
bled to remove air; the letters “FIL” flash on the display during this.
•
If the device detects lack of coolant, it displays the error message E12: In that case, refill the
coolant in the tank.
•
If everything is in order, the device switches to standby.
9.3 STANDBY
This is the initial device status, which allows turning the selection wheel to set the desired heating
power or temperature, depending on the mode selected:
•
Controlled power mode (CP), indicator lamp glows red – the user sets the desired heating
power in % of maximum heating power and the device automatically adjusts the required
parameters to maintain the set power.
•
Controlled magnetic field mode (CF), indicator lamp glows green – the user sets the desired
field intensity in % of maximum field intensity and the device automatically maintains the set
field intensity.
The indicator lamp starts flashing during the heating and the display shows the current readings of
power output in kW.

9.4 HEATING
TIMER
The timer makes it possible to automatically stop heating after a set amount of time, enabling
accurate dosing of energy (heat) to be introduced to the material, e.g., for spot or repeated heating
to a set temperature.
Press the selection wheel
repeatedly until the TIMER indicator
lamp glows red. Then turn
to set the desired heating time in seconds or deactivate the timer by selecting “OFF”.
If the timer is set, then the indicator lamp glows green when the heating starts, and if the heating is
stopped by the timer, the indicator lamp starts flashing green and the display shows the letters
“OFF” once the button is released. Releasing the button stops the heating immediately.
Note:
If heating is started in the timer settings, the display will show the remaining heating time
(remaining heating time countdown).
Note:
Press the selection wheel
to enter pre-heating/program settings (see following
chapter). To exit to power settings immediately, press and hold down the selection wheel
.
9.5 INFO
Info enables the display of basic information about the heating process and the device. It
facilitates selection or optimisation of induction coils for the material to be heated, removal of any
error codes, etc.
If you wish to display Info, press the selection wheel
repeatedly until the indicator lamp glows
red. Turn the selection wheel
to select the parameter to display and press to confirm. The
display shows the latest reading (indicator lamp glows green), or shows the current reading during
the heating (indicator lamp flashes green).
Press again to return to parameter selection, and you can select another one. If you wish to exit
the Info display and continue to further settings, select “---” in the parameters and press to confirm.
To exit to power settings immediately, press and hold down the encoder.
