II.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.
IV.Safety Instructions This machine should only be operated by adults who have read and fully understood this manual. When operating this machine, remove all metal items such as rings and watches from hands and arms. Metal exposure in the coil may cause heating and result in serious bodily harm.

Avoid high-power operation without load and running under no-load conditions for an extended period. The host device and extension device are connected using cable quick connectors. Proper matching of the turns between the host device and extension device is necessary for optimal heating effects.
V.Installation 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.
VI. Operation Ensure all installation work has been completed. Turn on the cooling water. Close the external power switch, close the air switch at the back of the equipment, and close the front panel power switch. Adjust the shape of the sensor to fit the heating requirements of the workpiece. ...
VII. Principles of Induction Coil Use copper tubes with a wall thickness greater than 1mm, copper tubes with a diameter larger than Φ8, or square copper tubes to wind the induction coil. If the copper tube is too small or too long, its resistance heat will be significant, leading to the burning of the induction heater or heating the cooling water to boiling, accompanied by a bubbling sound, which should be avoided as much as possible.

between the induction coil and the workpiece. If the gap is already large, reduce the number of turns in the induction coil. For flat heating of workpieces that are difficult to place inside the induction coil or for heating non-magnetic metal materials (such as copper, aluminum), different shapes of magnetic conductors (ferrite magnetic cores) can be used to greatly increase the equipment's power output.
VIII. Front Panel in Auto Mode ①Heat Indicator: When lit, the machine is heating the workpiece. ②Retaining Indicator: When lit, heat is retained using the current set by the Retain Power Adjustment Knob. ③Cooling Indicator: When lit, current is no longer running through the coil, allowing for the workpiece to cool down.

be controlled using the pedal instead of the Start/Stop Buttons on the machine. ⑦Power Switch: Turns the machine on or off. ⑧Auto/Manual Switch: Switches the working mode between automatic and manual. ⑨Start/Stop Buttons: Starts or stops the working process when the pedal is not connected.
IX.Operation 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.
X.Front Panel in Manual Mode ⑦Warning 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.
XI.Operation 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.
XIII. Other Factors In actual use, many factors will determine the speed and temperature of the heating process. While the adjustment knobs do control current, the heating power also depends on the material of the workpiece, the thickness of the workpiece, the shape of the coil, the number of turns in the coil, and the area of the turns within the coil.
XV. 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 ...

Problem: The machine will not power on. Causes: The circuit breaker is tripped. The fuse is blown. The connections between the power supply and the machine are loose. The outlet does not have power. Solutions: Reset the circuit breaker.
