1-6.EMF Information
Considerations About Induction Heating And The Effects Of Low Frequency Electric And Magnetic Fields
The following is a quotation from the General Conclusions Section of the
U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Biological Effects ofPower Frequency Electric & Magnetic Fields − Background Paper, OTA-
BP-E-53 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, May
1989): “. . . there is now a very large volume of scientific findings based
on experiments at the cellular level and from studies with animals and
people which clearly establish that low frequency magnetic fields can interact with, and produce changes in, biological systems. While most of
this work is of very high quality, the results are complex. Current scientific understanding does not yet allow us to interpret the evidence in a
single coherent framework. Even more frustrating, it does not yet allow
us to draw definite conclusions about questions of possible risk or to offer clear science-based advice on strategies to minimize or avoid
potential risks.”
To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following procedures:
1. Arrange output cable to one side and away from the operator.
2. Do not coil or drape output cable around the body.
3. Keep power source and cable as far away from the operator as
practical.
About Pacemakers:
Pacemaker wearers consult your doctor before welding or going near
welding or induction heating operations. If cleared by your doctor, then
following the above procedures is recommended.

Le texte suivant est extrait des conclusions générales Département
du Congrès U.S., Office of Technology Assessment, Effets
biologiques des champs magnétiques et électriques basse
fréquence − Background Paper, OTA-BP-E-53 (Washington, DC:
U.S. Government Printing Office, May 1989): “. . . on dispose
maintenant d’importantes découvertes scientifiques reposant sur
des expériences effectuées dans le domaine cellulaire et des études
réalisées sur des animaux et des personnes qui démontrent
clairement que des champs magnétiques basse fréquence peuvent
avoir une interaction et produire des changements dans les
systèmes biologiques. Alors que la plus grande partie de cet ouvrage
est d’une très grande qualité, les résultats sont complexes. La
compréhension scientifique courante ne nous permet pas encore
d’interpréter la preuve fournie dans un seul ouvrage cohérent. Il est
encore plus frustrant de ne pas pouvoir tirer des conclusions
définitives en ce qui concerne les problèmes de risque possible ou de
proposer des recommandations scientifiques claires pour des
stratégies à suivre en vue de minimiser ou de prévenir des risques
potentiels.”
Pour réduire les champs magnétiques sur le poste de travail,
appliquer les procédures suivantes :
4. Disposer le câble de sortie d’un côté à distance de l’opérateur
5. Ne pas enrouler ou draper le câble électrique autour du corps.
6. Placer la source de courant et le câble le plus loin possible de
l’opérateur.
En ce qui concerne les stimulateurs cardiaques
Les procédures ci-dessus concernent également les porteurs de
stimulateur cardiaque. Consulter votre médecin pour un complément
d’information.

The remote control functions as a slave to the
front panel Power Adjust control. For example,
if the front panel control is set to 12.5 kW and
the remote control is set to maximum, output
will be 12.5 kW. To obtain maximum output
from the unit using a remote control, the front
panel control must be set to maximum.

Repair or replace
cracked cables
and cords.
6 Months
Replace damaged or
unreadable labels.
Blow out or vacuum
inside.
5-2.Overheating
Thermostats TP1, TP2, and TP3 protect the unit from damage due to overheating. If one or more of the heat sinks get
too hot, TP1, TP2, and/or TP3 opens and output stops. The fan keeps running to cool the heat sink(s). Wait several
minutes before trying to heat.
5-3.Automatic Shutdown Protection
This unit automatically shuts down upon sensing certain fault conditions, such as an out-of-range frequency condition,
short circuit load condition, or an open circuit (no load) condition. The unit also has automatic voltage limiting and
power ratio limiting, which limits the output power based on improper load impedance.

Ground fault protection circuitry
automatically shuts down the power
source output if a potentially
hazardous condition exists at the
heating device connected to the
power source (e.g. insulation has
broken down on a heating blanket
causing the conductor to come into
contact with the workpiece or a
heating coil touches the workpiece
causing a short in the output circuit).
The supplied ground lead must be
connected between the workpiece
and power source to provide
proper ground fault protection
from a short in the output circuit.
