When you turn HeatOn, (details, next page) this equipment concentrates an
electromagnetic field within the coil diameter. When you put your metal part into the
coil, this field causes internal electric currents to circulate in your part. Friction from
these currents heats your part.
With HeatOn, both Setpoint (your selected output level) and Output Level (actual
power or current delivered to your part) are displayed. Typically, the Output Power (kW)
is highest when your part is in the coil and it returns to a lower level when you remove
your part; output current (A) is normally held as set. (For detailed explanations or to
understand operation that is not typical, see §2.3)
This equipment is designed to operate simply. This section presents EASYHEAT operation
in two parts:
 Home zone: your EASYHEAT operates in this zone when you first apply
power. The factory settings enable you to get right to work heating parts by
operating the front panel. From the Home zone, you can adjust output levels,
set the timer and turn RF power on and off. Simple heating jobs may never
require you to use features outside this zone.
 Control zone: press this button to make use of the full set of EASYHEAT
capabilities by changing any of the operating characteristics. Refer to §2.2 to
customize your EASYHEAT.
 Return: pressing this button always returns display to the Home zone
Next is a simple example of operation from the Home zone. In it you will operate your
E
ASYHEAT by:
 starting from the front panel
 using 2-button START (requires STOP to turn off heat)
(Other operating characteristics are discussed in the Control zone section.)
After this example, the front panel display, LED and touch-pad features are explained.
The Control zone is explained in detail in the next section.
LED Status and system notices are relevant if your part is in the coil during
HeatOn. Status and notices displayed after you remove your part can be ignored
