I. Operating Principles Induction heating is a contact-free heating process which uses high-frequency electricity to generate heat. When an alternating current (AC) flows through the coil while a workpiece is positioned inside, an electromagnetic field is generated. Once the current alternates (i.e., changes) direction, the direction of the electromagnetic field also changes.
Changes in technology happen often and rapidly, which is why our team at U.S. SOLID reserves the right to modify the specifications and procedures for this high-frequency induction heater immediately and without notice. The Company will not assume responsibility for equipment damage or malfunction due to improper operation, incorrect repairs, or use of unauthorized parts.
III. Safety Instructions This machine should only be operated by adults who have read and fully understood this manual. Always make sure the machine is grounded. Keep the area around the machine clean and free of debris. ...
IV. Setting Up When first receiving the induction heating machine, be careful when removing the machine from its box. This product is a heavy piece of equipment. The machine comes with one assembled coil, and one piece of copper tubing to create your own coil.
V. Back of the Heater Notice where the water inlet and water outlet in this photo of your heater are located. Also, note the ground wire screw, which is towards the bottom of your machine. In this image, the housing is flipped up to show where to connect the two current-carrying wires.
VI. Front Panel in Auto Mode ① Heat Indicator: When lit, the machine is heating the workpiece. ② Retaining Indicator: When lit, heat is retained using the current set by the Retain Power Adjustment Knob. ③ Cooling Indicator: When lit, current is no longer running through the coil, allowing for the workpiece to cool down.

VI. Front Panel in Auto Mode ⑤ Retaining Power Adjustment Knob: Controls the current when in heat retention mode. This is only applicable when the machine is in automatic mode. ⑥ Pedal Connector: If the foot pedal is connected to the machine, the machine can be controlled using the pedal instead of the Start/Stop Buttons on the machine.

VI. Front Panel in Auto Mode ⑩ Warning Lights (Over Volt, Over Temp, Over Current, Water Lack, and Phase Fail): When one of these light up, the machine will cease operating. Different lights indicate different issues: Either too much voltage or current is running, the machine is overheating, the water pressure to the machine is not high enough, or the phase power is failing.

VI. Front Panel in Auto Mode ⑪ Time (in seconds) given between zero and 99 seconds. Can be increased using the button below the numbers and decreased using the button above the numbers. Note: 99 and 00 both represent 99 seconds. ⑫...
VII. Operating the Heater in Auto Mode When the machine is in automatic mode, heating of the workpiece will be controlled by setting the Heating Time, Retaining Time, and Cooling Time. These numbers can be between zero and 99 seconds. Once your desired times are set, simply press the Start Button and insert the workpiece.
VIII. Front Panel in Manual Mode ① Heat Indicator: When on, it indicates that heating is taking place. ② Retaining Indicator: When lit, heat is retained using the current set by the Retain Power Adjustment Knob. ③ Pedal Connection: If the foot pedal is connected to the machine, the machine can only be controlled using the pedal instead of the Start/Stop Buttons on the machine.

VIII. Front Panel in Manual Mode ⑦ Warning Lights (Over Volt, Over Temp, Over Current, Water Lack, and Phase Fail): When one of these lights turns on, the machine will cease operating. Different lights indicate different issues. Either too much voltage or current is running, the machine is overheating, the water pressure to the machine is not high enough, or the phase power is failing.
IX. Operating the Heater in Manual Mode Adjust the Heat Power Adjustment Knob to the desired level, then press the pedal to energize the coil. Insert your workpiece into the coil to begin heating. The further the Heat Power Adjustment Knob is turned clockwise, the hotter your workpiece will get. Step 1: Flip the On/Off Switch to turn on the heater.
XI. Potential Applications Application Type Notes Brazing Hybrid welding of different materials. Clean the surfaces to be used. Dimension of the workpiece should be less than 1.2 x 1.2 x 1.2 ". Diathermy The diameter of the workpiece should be less than 5 mm (3/16").
XII. Troubleshooting Problem: Over Temperature Light comes on. Causes: • Machine overheated. • Water is too hot. Solutions: • Allow the machine time to cool off, then restart. • Ensure the water temperature is less than 40°C (104°F) before it enters the machine.
