5. Safety features
The IH 025 device is equipped with the following safety features:
• Power switch
• Internal safety fuse for power electronics
• Automatic overheating protection for the circuit breaker
• Automatic current control for intermediate circuit and coil electricity
• Automatic detection and power reduction if no workpiece is in place for
heating.
• In the TEMP MODE the heater will switch off if the temperature probe does
not register a temperature increase of 1 °C every 15 seconds. To increase
the interval to 30 seconds, press MODE and DOWN at the same time.
6. Electromagnetic field and personal safety
During the heating function, the IH 025 unit generates a maximum magnetic
flux density of less than 5.7 µT at a distance of half a meter away. The device
is therefore within the range that applies to the household sector for induction
cooktops. Modern pacemakers are protected from such interference. Never-
theless, the manufacturers recommend that those using pacemakers remain
a minimum distance of 40 cm from the induction heater. People with cardiac
pacemakers should check with their doctor about possible disrupting effects.
7. Troubleshooting
A system fault will be indicated by an acoustic signal and one of the
following fault codes on the main display:
Dis-
Fault

Return IH 025 for repair.
Return IH 025 for repair.
Wait until the inductive coil cools.
Place workpiece on device.
Check the temperature probe connec-
tion. If the connection is OK, select
the 30 second interval as described in
section 5 or operate the heater in TIME
MODE.
