SECTION 6 − OPERATION 6-1. Power Source/System Setup See power source Owner’s Manual for complete instructions on operating the power source. Connect Rolling Inductor to power source before turning it on. 6-1-1 Rolling Inductor—Manual Or Temperature Control Mode NOTICE −When using a Rolling Inductor, infrared temperature measurement and travel detection are highly recommended. The Rolling Inductor induces up to 20 kW into a small area, which can quickly heat a part to over 6005 F (3155 C) if it is not moving fast enough.

When using two Rolling Inductors, Two IR sensors can be used at the same time. Workpieces should be the same size and material when using two Rolling Inductors on one power source. NOTICE −TC5 and TC6 connect to the Rolling Inductor internal thermocouple which monitors internal Rolling Inductor core temperatures. Measure workpiece temperature with temperature crayons, infrared sensors, or contact thermocouples placed within two inches of the Rolling Induc- tor.
6-1-2 Temp Control Mode Using IR Device(s) IR sensors are often designed for a specific temperature and emissivity range. The ProHeat 35 with Operator Interface software revision 1.28 enables temperature control with the Rolling Inductor. To verify software revision levels, press the Run Status and Parameters buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds to display the software revision. Operator Interface .
6-2. Temperature Feedback Using An IR Device Definitions: Infrared Radiation (IR) - Radiation that has a wavelength between the red end of the visible light spectrum and microwaves (approx. 800nm to 1mm). It is emitted in particular by heated objects and can be used to determine temperature. Emissivity - A dimensionless quantity describing the efficiency with which a material radiates infrared energy.
6-4. Shielding Of The IR Cup NOTICE −When welding near an IR sensor, a 1.5 in. Conduit coupler and short section of conduit can be added to help guard from weld spat- ter and smoke. Leave a gap at the Leave Gap At Top Of top of the coupler to allow IR cooling air to ventilate.
