Temp mode
• 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°.
• 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.
• Press START/STOP to start the heater. The main display shows
the current temperature of the workpiece.
• When the selected temperature has been reached, the heater
demagnetises the workpiece, switches off, and generates an
acoustic signal for 10 seconds or until START/STOP is pressed.
• Press START/STOP to stop the heater.
• Remove the workpiece with proper handling equipment.
• If the workpiece remains on the heater, the heater will start again
when the temperature of the workpiece drops 10°C (18°F). Press
START/STOP to stop the heater and demagnetise the workpiece.
• The IH 070/090 is now ready to heat another workpiece
with the same settings.
