›
If the main display shows “t”, press MODE to select TEMP MODE� The main display shows °C or °F in TEMP MODE�

The selected temperature is shown on the main display� The default temperature for bearings is 110°C (230°F)� If a different
temperature is desired, press UP or DOWN to adjust the temperature in steps of 1°C (2°F)�
›
It may be desirable to heat bearings to temperatures above 110°C (230°F) for increased mounting time� Consult the bearing
specifications to determine the maximum permitted temperature� Always ensure the bearing does not lock due to an
excessive expansion of the inner ring compared to outer ring� See section 5�8�
›
All Spherical Roller Bearings (SRBs) are subjected to a special heat treatment� These bearings can be operated at temperatures
as high as 200°C (392°F)� Heating these bearings above 110°C (230°F) will not cause any damage as long as the bearing is
still able to rotate� For other bearings, a temperature of 125°C (257°F) must not be exceeded unless otherwise specified�
›
Press POWER to select the power level� Use the guidelines in section 5�8 to determine the correct power setting�
›
Make sure the temperature probe is mounted on the bearing inner ring�
