SECTION 2 INSTALLATION
2.1 GENERAL
Proper installation is important for satisfactory and trouble-free operation of
the PowerCut 1500 cutting package. It is suggested that each step in this
section be studied carefully and followed closely.
2.2 EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
A source of clean, dry air that supplies 165 l/m (350 cfh) at 5.5 bar (80 psig)
is required for the cutting operation. The air supply should not exceed 10.3
bar (150 psig) (the maximum inlet pressure rating of the air filter-regulator
supplied with the package).
2.3 LOCATION
Adequate ventilation is necessary to provide proper cooling of the PowerCut
1500. The amount of dirt, dust, and excessive heat to which the equipment
is exposed, should be minimized. There should be at least one foot of
clearance between the PowerCut 1500 power source and wall or any other
obstruction to allow freedom of air movement through the power source.
2.4 INSPECTION
A. Remove the shipping container and all packing material and inspect for
evidence of concealed damage which may not have been apparent
upon receipt of the PowerCut 1500. Notify the carrier of any defects or
damage at once.
B. Check container for any loose parts prior to disposing of shipping
materials.
C. Check air louvers and any other openings to ensure that any obstruction
is removed.
2.5 PRIMARY ELECTRICAL INPUT
CONNECTIONS
The PowerCut 1500 consoles are equipped with approximately 3.1m (10 ft.)
of 4-conductor input power cable for 3-phase connection.
Installing or placing any type of
filtering device will restrict the
volume of intake air, thereby
subjecting the power source
internal components to over-
heating. The warranty is void if
any type of filter device is used.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL!
Precautionary measures
should be taken to provide
maximum protection against
electrical shock. Be sure that
all power is off by opening the
line (wall) disconnect switch
and by unplugging the power
cord to the unit when connec-
tions are made inside of the
power source.
