---|---

HEATING INDUCTOR REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

1. Leave the device on a fireproof surface for a time needed for the induction coil to cool down.
2. Disconnect the device from the grid power supply to prevent unwanted starting while replacing the induction coil.
3. Loosen the screws securing the coil and then slide the coil off the cooled terminal.
4. Insert the desired induction coil and tighten the fastening screws.
5. Connect the device to the grid power supply and wait for the fan to start; the device is ready for heating after that.

WORKING CYCLE

The INDUCTION HEATER is designed so that it can heat for up to 20 minutes when started cold under normal conditions with an ambient temperature of 25°C. However, various influences may occur in use that result in a shorter heating time.
These influences include:

• Reduced air supply to the device, reducing its cooling.
• Reverse heat transfer from the working object to the heating inductor.
• Dust clogging the device.
• Heating inductor condition.

That is why the device working cycle information is approximate only and always depends on the working conditions. The device has temperature measurement for critical components and does not permit the user to engage the output circuits for so long that device overheating might pose a risk arising from device overheating. The recommended working cycle is 10 minutes of heating followed by a minute of cooling.
CAUTION: The coil and the heated object may reach high temperatures and cause burns and/or a fire.

PROTECTIONS AND LIST OF ERROR MESSAGES

thermally conductive connection via impedance transformer winding
Protection from operation under non-standard grid conditions| Grid power supply frequency outside the 45-65 Hz range

Error messages comprise simultaneous acoustic and light signals. The error message number always equals the number of short (0.5 s) light and acoustic signals following the long (2 s) light and acoustic signal, repeated 3 times. The error message repetition can be cancelled after the first indication by pressing the button. Pressing the button one more time places the device in the heating mode.

ERROR MASSAGES

Error
message
No.| Error title| Error description
---|---|---
1| Inverter overvoltage| Error due to connection of the instrument to a power supply network with too high a voltage greater than 276 VRMS, due to non- standard behaviour of the working load or due to defective HW.
2| Inverter overcurrent| Error caused by excessive load on the heating inductor, use of a non-original heating inductor, non-standard behaviour of the working cartridge or defective HW.
3| Inverter overheating| Error indicating overheating, failure to follow the recommended duty cycle or non-standard thermal stress on the instrument.
4| Network synchronization error| This is an error in the HW part that is responsible for synchronization with the network.
5| Fan fault I| Instrument fault due to dust clogging, fan braking, jamming or electrical short circuit.
6| Fan fault II| Instrument error due to fan connection discontinuity or fan inactivity
7| Power supply instability I| Power supply error of secondary circuits of the device -overvoltage of secondary circuits.
8| Power supply instability II| Power supply error of secondary circuits of the device -undervoltage of secondary circuits.
9| High inverter frequency| Error related to short circuit on the inductor or too low inductance (use of non-original inductor).

CAUTION! If the device shows any signs of thermal or mechanical damage, or shows no signs of operation, or if any error lingers after changing the power supply, the heating inductor or the working object, do not use the device anymore, disconnect it from the grid power supply, place it on a fireproof surface, leave it to cool safely for 20 minutes and contact the device vendor.

HEATING INDUCTORS FOR INDUCTION HEATER AND RULES FOR THEIR USE

FRONT AND SIDE SOCKET COILS

Standard front and side socket coils are used for heating nuts, clutches, gaskets, hinges, exhaust pipes, bolts, etc., which are accessible for sliding on the coil.

FRONT COILS
Standard diameters: 15-45 mm

SIDE COILS
Standard diameters: 15-45 mm

Rules for correct use:
There should be a gap of approximately 3-5 mm between the coil and the heated material while heating it to prevent excessive wear of the coil insulation. Holding the coil directly on the hot material may burn the coil insulation, reducing coil lifetime. We recommend keeping direct contact between the coil and hot material to a minimum.

REMARK: Releasing of nuts, bolts, etc., typically does not require making the material red-hot. Heat the nut for 2 seconds and try to loosen it with a wrench. If you cannot, heat it for another 2 seconds and try to loosen it with a wrench again. Coil lifetime can be increased by removing rust, paints, lubricants, etc., from the heated material.

CAUTION: Use original heating inductors only. If non-original accessories are used, the device manufacturer is not liable for any damage due to device use. Use of a non-original inductor is considered use in contravention of the Instruction Manual

FLEXIBLE INDUCTOR

The flexible coil is used for releasing axle mounts, jammed sensors, ball joints, etc., where socket coils cannot be used.

Correct procedure:

1. Connect one end of the coil to the coil holder and secure it with the lock screw.
2. Wrap the loose end of the conductor around the part to be heated. Make approximately 2-4 spirals.
3. Connect other, loose end of the coil to the coil holder and secure it with the screw.
4. Press the button to active heating.
5. Once the heating is completed, release one end of the coil and unwind it from the heated material.

REMARK: The flexible inductor can be used for heating large nuts, exhaust pipes, bolts, axle parts, shafts, etc.
CAUTION: Use original heating inductors only. If non-original accessories are used, the device manufacturer is not liable for any damage due to device use. Use of a non-original inductor is considered use in contravention of the Instruction Manual.

FLAT INDUCTOR

The flat spiral-shaped coil is designed for heating flat sheet metal and straightening minor dents in car bodywork by heating. The flat coil is also intended for easy removal of stickers, rubbers, gaskets, sealants and the like by heating the substrate ­ sheet steel.

Correct procedure:

1. Connect the coil to the coil holder.
2. Apply the coil surface to the material.
3. Press the button and guide the coil a circular movement over the material.
4. After heating the material, leave the coil to cool for at least 2 minutes.

REMARK: The coil can be used for removing various stickers, rubber linings and gaskets glued on a metal or sheet metal material, e.g., in the automotive industry, car repair shops, etc. The coil is used for heating the substrate, thus softening or hardening the adhesive, sealant, etc. We recommend holding the coil approx. 5-15 mm from the heated material; the required temperature and heating speed can be adjusted by changing the distance.

CAUTION: Use original heating inductors only. If non-original accessories are used, the device manufacturer is not liable for any damage due to device use. Use of a non-original inductor is considered use in contravention of the Instruction Manual.
