3. INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
3.1 Environment
The Transmigs are NOT designed for use in environments with increased hazard of electric shock as
defined in AS3195-1990.
a) Examples of environments with increased hazard of electric shock are -
i) In locations in which freedom of movement is restricted, so that the operator is
forced to perform the work in a cramped (kneeling, sitting or lying) position with
physical contact with conductive parts;
ii) In locations which are fully or partially limited by conductive elements, and in which
there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact by the operator, or
iii) In wet or damp hot locations where humidity or perspiration considerable reduces the
skin resistance of the human body and the insulation properties of accessories.
b) Environments with increased hazard of electric shock do not include places where
electrically conductive parts in the near vicinity of the operator, which can cause increased
hazard, have been insulated.
3.2 Location
Be sure to locate the Power Source according to the following guidelines:
a) In areas, free from moisture and dust.
b) Ambient temperature 0
°
C to 40
°
C.
c) In areas, free from oil, steam and corrosive gases.
d) In areas, not subjected to abnormal vibration or shock.
e) In areas, not exposed to direct sunlight or rain.
f) Place at a distance of 30cm or more from walls or similar that could restrict natural air flow
for cooling.
g) The minimum ground clearance for these products is 140mm.
3.3 Ventilation
Since the inhalation of welding fumes can be harmful, ensure that the welding area is effectively
ventilated.
3.4 Mains Supply Voltage Requirements
The Mains supply voltage should be within ± 10% of the rated Mains supply voltage. Too low a
voltage may cause poor welding performance or the wirefeeder malfunction. Too high a supply
voltage will cause components to overheat and possibly fail.
The Transmig is supplied with an input lead to which an appropriate plug should be fitted.
Install a power outlet for each Power Source and fit fuses as per Transmig 210 and Transmig 250
Specifications or Transmig 310 and Transmig 330 Specifications.
WARNING 1: CIGWELD advises that your Transmig be electrically connected by a qualified
electrical tradesperson.
Refer to Table 1 for the ratings of the Mains supply leads that are supplied with the various Transmig
Power Sources.
