Safety Recommendations - SKF TIH L Mode D'emploi

• Because the TIH L generates a magnetic ield, people wearing a pacemaker
must not be within 5 m (16 ft) of the TIH L during operation. Electronic
equipment, such as wristwatches, may also be affected.
• Risk of electrical hazard. Only qualiied electrician should open the heater
electrical cabinet.
• Follow the operating instructions at all times.
• Never touch the TIH L coils, core, yoke or workpiece during heating.
• During the heating process observe a safety distance of 1 m (3,3 ft) with the
workpiece, the heater coil or the core.
• Use proper handling equipment when lifting heavy workpieces. Secure the
workpiece with appropriate lifting and handling equipment while heating.
• Make sure the voltage supply is correct.
• Avoid contact with hot workpieces, especially bearing cages, which may be
hotter than the rings. Wear the supplied heat resistant gloves to handle hot
workpieces.
• Never operate the TIH L with the cable of the remote control between the
inductive coils.
• Never operate the TIH L without a yoke in position.
• Electrical arcing may occur when a potential difference exists between the
TIH L and the workpiece. This is not dangerous to human beings and will
not cause damage to the TIH L or the workpiece. However, the TIH L must
never be used in areas where there is a risk of explosion.
• When using induction heating, the temperature generated in the bearing
inner ring will be higher than the temperature in the bearing outer ring.
Ensure that the different expansion of the rings does not block the rolling
elements.
• Ensure the yoke is applied with the ground faces pointing downward, and in
proper contact with the core uprights.
• Do not modify the TIH L.
• The TIH L must not be exposed to condensing humidity or
direct contact with water.
