Safety Considerations
High Temperature: Wear suitable gloves and clothing to stop direct contact
with work piece or coil. Severe burns can result from contact high
temperatures.
RF Voltages: Wear suitable gloves and clothing to stop direct contact with
work piece or coil.
Induction Burns: the energized work coil causes nearby [200mm] metals to
become heated.

Operating Manual
On start up the front display (above LHS) shows Work Process Set Point in
Amps at top LHS.
The time the heater is kept at this Set Point is shown top RHS.
Bottom LHS shows Coil Output and
bottom RHS shows Resonate Frequency of coil.
Adjust Set Point using navigation up or down arrows,
Then move > using navigation right arrow
Adjust heating cycle time period using navigation up or down arrows
To check menu use navigation buttons on touch panel Press
Page > System Options > System Status > Adjust Profiles > Heat Station >
Page > Modify Tap > Page to read tap (transformer) value Adjust using up
and down navigation buttons and then check connections at back of remote
heat station to ensure wiring agrees with Tap setting
Turn on green button to start heat cycle and view front display for any errors
and to see heat LED is on
The power output can be seen in Watts or Amps by pressing Home button
When heating cycle finished and metal is molten, raise the crucible using the
long handle lever to raise the scissor action platform, to gain access to molten
material.
Then Turned off Power to heat station and coil only
Leave Chiller on for water to continue to circulate and continue to cool coil,
thereby reducing cool down time
The Safety box can now be dismantled to allow removal of crucible from coil
and speed up cooling down time.

Operating Manual
Optimum distance of crucible to coil is 10 mm as distance doubles the power
output is reduced by a quarter
Use crucibles with high carbon / Graphite content as it produces better heating
conditions.
Coil coated in blue epoxy powder coating, which may degrade over time but
will not affect coil efficiency
Induction heating principle produces magnetic coil hysterysis and Eddy
Current field s to heat crucible and metal.
After 700C the magnetic heating effect is lost and heating produced by Eddy
Current only.
Aluminium will not heat up inside coil unless inside graphite crucible as has
low resistance about value 6 (where steel has value of 120).
