4.3.1 Temp mode with one probe
• 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) in case the mounting time is longer. Consult the bearing specifi-
cations to determine the maximum permitted temperature. Always ensure
the bearing does not jam due to an excessive expansion of the inner ring
compared to outer ring. See section 4.7.
• All Spherical Roller Bearings (SRBs) are subjected to a special heat treat-
ment. 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 4.7
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 demagnet-
ises the workpiece and generates an acoustic signal for 10 seconds until
START/STOP is pressed.
• 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.
• Press the START/STOP button to stop the heating process.
• Remove the workpiece with proper handling equipment.
• The IH 045 heater is now ready to heat another workpiece with the same
settings.
