This equipment uses high frequency for arc starting.
High-frequency may enter nearby units as shown below, causing electromagnetic trouble.
* Input cables, signal cables, telephone cables
* Radio sets, TV sets
* Computers and other control equipment
* Industrial detectors and safety units
* Pacemakers, hearing-aid sets
For preventing electromagnetic trouble,
1.
Make the cable as shortest as possible.
2.
Install cables along the floor or the ground as close as possible.
3.
Put the power cable for base metal together with the torch side cable.
4.
Do not use a common base metal ground with other machines.
5.
Tightly close all of the doors and covers of this equipment, and secure them.
6.
Do not press the torch switch other than when ready to start the arc.
7.
When electromagnetic trouble occurs, take the measures shown in this instruction manual
until trouble is corrected.
Please contact OTC-DAIHEN , when necessary.
8.
Pacemaker wearers must not come near this equipment during operation until consulting
your doctor.
Operation of the pacemakers will be affected badly by high frequency.
