Electromagnetic Fields

All induction heating equipment produces electromagnetic fields that are
concentrated inside the coils. The field's strength depends on the current's strength
and the number of turns in the coil. The field's strength decreases with the square of
the distance from the coil.
To avoid hazards to personal health:
• Anyone with an implant, regardless of type, should consult a physician about the
effects of high-frequency electromagnetic fields on the implants. This also applies
to pregnant women.
• Persons with pacemakers, heart valves or metal pins, plates or other bone joining
devices, should avoid exposure to induction coils or areas with strong magnetic
fields if they have not consulted their physician beforehand.
• In general, all personnel should take great care not to come too close to the
induction coil when the equipment is in operation.
