6-2. System Description

The ProHeat 35 Induction Heating Power Source is designed to function either as an air-cooled system or a liquid-cooled system. Depending on the

system type (either air-cooled or liquid-cooled), the power source is automatically configured to operate and provide an output appropriate for the type

of connected heating device.

A special identifier, embedded within the extension cable connector, provides the means for the power source to configure itself by recognizing the type

of extension cable(s) attached to its output connectors.

Designed to provide a single level of output (up to 35 kW), the ProHeat 35 power source has two panel mounted connectors that are connected in

parallel to the power source output. This design allows the system to operate with either a single output extension cable or two output extension cables.

If a single output extension cable is used, a protective plug (provided with the system) MUST be placed on the unused output connector or the system

will not operate. If two output extension cables are used, they both MUST be of the same type (either both air-cooled or both liquid-cooled) or the system

will not operate (in this case, the protective plug is not used). When two extension cables and heating devices are utilized on the system, the extension

cable lengths and heating devices MUST be identical (see Section 4-7).

The ProHeat 35 is intelligent to the point that it will automatically adjust output power levels if internal system operating parameters or internal tempera-

tures reach or exceed specific set limits (see Section 9).
