SKF TMBH 5 Instrucciones De Uso página 5

Safety recommendations
• Because the TMBH 5 generates a magnetic
field, people wearing a pacemaker or implants
must not be within 5 m (16 ft) of the TMBH 5
during operation.
• During the heating process observe a safety
distance of 30 cm (1 ft) with the workpiece or
the heater. Electronic equipment, such
as wristwatches, cellphones, etc. may also
be affected.
• Always follow the operating instructions.
• Make sure that the power supply voltage does
not deviate from the acceptable range of
100 - 240V, 50 - 60Hz.
• Use the right power level, especially with
shielded or sealed with metallic inserts
bearings. SKF does not recommend heating
bearings capped with seals or shields above
80 °C (175˚F). However, if higher temperatures
are necessary, please contact SKF. Small
bearings to be heated using low power mode,
25% or 10% to avoid risking overheating the
bearing.
• Do not expose the TMBH 5 to high humidity,
outdoors or to flammable atmospheres.
• Do not modify the TMBH 5. All repairs should
be taken care by SKF repair shops. Do not touch
a damaged heater if plugged to the mains.
• The TMBH 5 is solely intended to heat up
bearings, gears, couplings and other industrial
annular components.
• The heater needs to be operated by
professionally trained people.
Do not leave the heater unattended especially
when using time mode.
• Avoid contact with hot surfaces. Always wear
protective gloves. In case of burnings ask for
first aid help if necessary.
• Never heat to temperatures above
200 °C (392 °F).
• The heater is designed for maintenance
operations where some cooling in between jobs
is allowed.
• In case of fire, do not use water nor powder-
based extinguisher. This will damage the
electronics. A CO2 based extinguisher is
recommended, if available.
• Be aware that fumes coming from the heated
element might occur.
• Make sure that the component does not heat up
above any desired limit by properly measuring
temperature. If so, adjust the power level
accordingly.
