• Always use magnetic temperature probe (here-
after referred to as the 'probe') for heating in the
Temperature Mode.
• The probe can be used as a temperature-control
aid for heating in theTime Mode.
• The probe is suitable for operation up to a
maximum temperature of 240ºC (464ºF) - spe-
cial probes are supplied with custom machines
designed to operate above this temperature.
• As a safety feature, the connection between magnet
and probe will break above the maximum tempera-
ture. If this occurs when operating in theTempera-
ture Mode, the machine will turn itself off since the
probe will fail to register any increase in the tem-
perature over a set period of time.
• A probe fixed to a clamp is also available when
heating non-magnetic work pieces.
• Ensure that the area where the probe is located
is completely clean.
• Always place the probe as close as possible to the
bore of the work piece (see opposite).
• Connect the probe by inserting the plug into the
socket at the back of the heater (the terminals
have a different orientation, so that the plug will
only fit in one way - the VHIN10 series models
have the probe permanently connected).
CAUTION!
• Treat the probe with care. It is a valuable part of the
heater and can easily be broken through careless han-
dling. After use, we suggest that it is placed on the side
of the vertical pole.
