I M P O R TA N T:
The TMBH 5 can heat up components up to
200 °C (392 °F). Heating above this temperature
(for example using Time Mode) can damage
the heater.
6.2.1 Temperature measurement
•
When the heater is not operating, the
temperature of the workpiece can be measured
by pressing MODE and START/STOP at the
same time. Press any button to cancel the
temperature measurement.
•
The temperature probe is a valuable part of
the heater. Treat it with care and after use we
suggest that it is placed on the probe's parking
spot front right side to avoid damages on it.
•
The surface of the workpiece where the
temperature probe is located should be clean,
dry and flat. Measuring on dirty, wet or curved
surfaces will give wrong temperature readings
and may result in overheating the workpiece or
even damaging the heater.
•
When heating one component after another
in warm environments or with very high
temperature settings, the temperature probe
might need some extra time to cool down
before starting a new heating job.
Error code E06 might be triggered then. If this
happens, simply allow some cooling time on a
cold surface.
6.2.2 Change of temperature unit
Press MODE and "+" at the same time to change in
between °C to °F.
Once a heating cycle is completed, the temperature
unit setting remains the same even after
disconnecting the heater from the mains power.
6.3 Time mode
This mode is suitable for batch production, when
the time required to heat a workpiece to a given
temperature is already known. It is also used in
emergency cases when the temperature probe
is missing or defective. The temperature of the
workpiece must be then checked using an external
thermometer, like a TKDT 10.
•
If the user interface display shows °C or °F,
press the MODE button to select Time Mode.
•
Press + or – to adjust the time.
•
Press the START/STOP button to start the
heater. The display will show the remaining
time.
•
Whilst heating, the temperature measured
by the probe (if attached) can be displayed by
pressing the MODE button. When pressed again
it displays the remaining time again.
•
When the time has elapsed, the heating stops,
and an acoustic signal is generated for
4 seconds.
•
Remove the workpiece with proper handling
equipment.
•
The TMBH 5 is now ready to heat another
workpiece with the same settings.
I M P O R TA N T:
The TMBH 5 can heat up components up to
200 °C (392 °F). Do not use Time Mode to go above
200 °C (392° F). Heating above these temperatures
might damage the heater.
Do not leave the heater unattended in Time Mode.
