INDUCTION HEATER - 2 INTRODUCTION This device generates alternating current of high frequency. The current passing through a heat- ing coil creates an alternating magnetic field which by using the principle of electromagnetic induction vibrates electrons inside the heated material. The energy of moving electrons is dissipated as heat, which heats the metal in the work field of the instrument.
Do not twist or sharply bend the power cord, as it may damage the internal wiring. Never use KMi heater X175 if the power cord shows any signs of damage. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Never repair the power cord if damaged, the power cord must be replaced.
Before replacing the applicator /coil/, disconnect KMi heater X175 from the power source /wall outlet. If you are not using KMi heater X175, unplug the power cord from the outlet. CAUTION This product is for class A industrial use. It may cause radio interference in residential, commercial and light industrial environments.

ECHNICAL DATA TECHNICAL DATA Input voltage 230V +10% -15% 50 Hz Input current max. 8A Input max. 2 kW Power max. 1,75 kW PF (power factor) 0,99 Load factor 1,5 min. 100 % Cover IP 20 Dimensions cm 23,5x18x9,6 Total length cm Weight kg Before usage of the device, check the incoming cable, handle and the handle cable to assure that they are not damaged.
5.1 H EATING COILS FRONT ATTACHABLE COILS The standard supplied diameters of front attachable coils are 14-47mm SIDE ATTACHABLE COILS The standard supplied diameters of the side attachable coils are 14-47mm NOTE: The service life of the coils can be increased by cleaning rust, paint, oil etc. from the heated material.
TIP! For loosening nuts, screws etc., it is not necessary to heat the material until it is red hot. Heat the nut for 5-10 seconds and try to loosen it using a wrench. If it is not possible, heat again for 5-10 seconds and then try loosening using the wrench again.
5.4 F LEXIBLE COIL The flexible coil is used for the loosening of axle fitments, stiffened sensors, ball joints etc and in applications where is not possible to use attachable coils. Applications: 1. Connect one end of the coil to the coil holder and secure it by the locking screw Wrap the free end of the conductor over the part which needs to be heated.
Working light for better visibility of the working material and Working light space. 7 POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND TROUBLESHOOTING KMi heater X175 is designed and constructed so that when an overload occurs, there is a temporary turning off, which is indicated by the flashing of the LED on the handle.
The induction coils do not have any thermal protection and thus they are not protected against overload. The operating cycle of the induction coils is set for 1,5 minutes of activity - heating and 1,5 minutes of cooling. If the device stops working, check that it is properly connected with the electric network and also check the plug connector and socket, the fuses or breaker.
ARRANTY Machine warranty period is determined by the manufacturer for 12 months from the sale of machinery buyer. Warranty period begins on the date of de-livery of the machine to the purchaser, or the possible delivery date. The warranty period does not cover expendable parts – coils. Warranty period does not include the period from the application of a legitimate complaint until the machine is repaired.
10 W ARRANTY SERVICE Warranty service can be performed only by a trained service technician authorised by KM Equipment s.r.o. Before performing warranty repairs it is necessary to check the data of the machine – the date of purchase, serial number, machine type. If the data are not consistent with the conditions for the recognition of warranty repairs, for example, expiry of the warranty period, improper use of the product contrary to the instructions for use, etc., it is not a warranty repair.
