2�4 Error messages
The iDuctor has a number of (patented) internal safety features. If one of these trips the
unit will switch off and the LED will flash when the on/off button is depressed. The iDuctor is
equipped with a patented microprocessor induction generator. In the event of overloading
or overheating of the generator the processor automatically reduces the power to prevent
damage to the induction generator.
2.5 Overheating protection
The unit will stop heating whenever its internal temperature rises too high. Check:
1. that the fan is still operating
2. that the ventilation holes are unblocked
3. that power is connected, to ensure cooling
4. that only inductors approved by the manufacturer are being used.
Solution: Delay heating until the unit has cooled sufficiently. The unit monitors the
temperature itself, and it will not be usable until the internal temperature has fallen
sufficiently. This will be detectable as you will hear the fan switch off.
2.6 Connection safety feature
Check:
1. that the inductor is correctly connected
2. that the inductors are not damaged
3. that the inductors are not causing a short-circuit to earth or between the inductors
2.7 Mains current protection
Ensure that the power supply meets the requirements of the respective iDuctor version. See
also chapter 6.
2�8 Voltage and current protection
Check:
1. that the mains voltage is not too high
2. that the inductor is not causing a short-circuit to earth, or internally
3. where the flexible inductor is being used, that not too many turns have been wound
around the object to be heated.
Solution: Remove some turns from the object to be heated and retry.
3. Introduction
3�1 Application
The iDuctor is a power tool that uses mid frequency induction technology for heating
ferromagnetic metals e.g.: screws, tubes, bushings or bearing inner rings. Depending on the
application, different flexible inductors, fixed inductors and a ID-PAD-inductor are available,
see point 6.3 Accessories.
3�2 Operating conditions
• Temperature: -5°C to +40°C (23°F to 104°F)
• Humidity: 0 – 90%, non-condensing
• IP 20
• No higher than 2,000 metres above sea level
