Safety
The power source may ONLY be used for TIG welding and rod electrode (MMA) welding.
Utilisation for any other purpose, or in any other manner, shall be deemed to be "not in
accordance with the intended purpose". The manufacturer shall not be liable for any
damage resulting from such improper use.
Utilisation in accordance with the “intended purpose” also comprises

Machine set-up
regulations
The equipment is designed to run on the mains voltage given on the respective rating
plates. If your version of the machine does not come with the mains cables and plugs
ready-mounted, these must be mounted in accordance with your national regulations
and Standards. For details of fuse protection of the mains supply lead, please see the
Technical Data.
Note!
Inadequately dimensioned electrical installations can lead to serious
damage. The mains supply lead, and its fuse protection, must be dimensioned
accordingly. The technical data shown on the rating plate shall apply.
Mains connection
The power source is tested to “Degree of protection IP23”, meaning:
-Protection against penetration by solid foreign bodies with diameters Ø 12,5 mm
(.49 in.)
-Protection against spraywater up to an angle of 60° to the upright
The CastoTIG 1702 / 2202 AC/DC and CastoTIG 2201 DC power sources are suitable
for being run on generator power, provided that the maximum apparent power delivered
by the generator is at least 10 kVA.
Note!
The voltage delivered by the generator must NEVER undershoot or
overshoot the mains-voltage tolerance range. Details of the mains-voltage
tolerance are given in the section headed “Technical data”.

Warning!
Operating the equipment incorrectly can cause serious injury and
damage. Do not use the functions described here until you have read and com-
pletely understood all of the following documents:
-these Operating Instructions
-all "Operating Instructions" for the system components, especially the
"Safety rules"
Caution!
A machine that topples over or falls from its stand can easily kill someo-
ne. Place equipment on an even, firm floor in such a way that it stands firmly.
The venting duct is a very important safety feature. When choosing the machine locati-
on, make sure that it is possible for the cooling air to enter and exit unhindered through
the louvres on the front and back of the machine. Any electroconductive metallic dust
from e.g. grinding-work must not be allowed to get sucked into the machine.
