Operation; Heating In Temperature Mode (Start Position Of The Heater); Heating In Time Mode - BEGA BETEX BLF 200 Manuel Utilisateur

7. Operation

There are 2 heating methods:
Temperature mode
•
For controlled heating up to the desired
temperature.
•
And if you want to make use of the
thermostat feature. This feature maintains
the heated workpiece at the pre-set
temperature for a maximum period of 5
minutes.

7.1 Heating in temperature mode (start position of the heater)

•
Position the workpiece and sensor (according to chapters 5 & 6.)
•
Switch on the heater. The display shows 100°C. Enter the desired temperature by pressing the
'▲' or '▼' button (by pressing the () button, you can select increments of either 1º or 10º).
•
Press 'START'. The heating starts, you will hear a slight humming sound.
•
The display shows the current temperature of the bearing. Once the pre-set temperature has
been reached, the display blinks and a clear beep is sounded. Unless you press STOP, the
temperature of the bearing is maintained for 5 minutes, thanks to the thermostat feature.
Heating will restart if the temperature drops by 3ºC. Once the pre-set temperature has been
reached again, the induction heater will sound a clear beep.
•
The display blinks during this cycle. After 15 minutes, the induction heater switches off and
sounds a continuous beep. Each time the induction heater stops, it automatically demagnetises
the workpiece.
•
The heating process or thermostat feature can be interrupted by pressing 'STOP'.

7.2 Heating in time mode

•
Position the workpiece and sensor (according to chapters 5 & 6.) Only use the sensor if you want
to check the temperature before the countdown has completed.
•
Switch on the heater and press ''. Enter the desired time by pressing '▲' or '▼'; by pressing '',
you can select increments of either 1 minute or 1 second.
•
Press 'START'. The heating starts, you will hear a slight humming sound. Press '' during
heating to display the current temperature for 3 seconds. The countdown then continues.
•
During heating, the pre-set time counts down to 00:00. When 00:00 is reached, the induction
heater switches off. The workpiece is then demagnetised automatically and a loud, continuous
beep sounds. Press STOP to switch off the beep.
Time mode
• Suitable for series production. If the time
needed to reach a certain temperature is
known, the workpiece can be heated in
series with the time mode.
• In the event of an emergency. If the sensor
is faulty, as a contingency measure, the
workpiece can be heated with the time
mode. The temperature can be measured
with an external thermometer.
•
In incidental cases when workpieces are too
big for the heater, which in temperature
mode would lead to an error message due
to an insufficient increase in temperature,
the time mode may be a solution. If this is
often the case, choose a bigger heater from
the Betex range.
