INSTALLATION
2.5 PRIMARY ELECTRICAL INPUT
CONNECTIONS (FIGURE 2-1)
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) discon-
nect switch and by unplugging the power cord to
the unit when connections are made inside of
the power source.
Be sure that the power source is properly config-
ured for your input power supply. DO NOT con-
nect a power source configured for 208/230 V to
a 460 V input power supply. Damage to the
machine may occur.
The PowerCut-550 power source operating on 230
V, 1-phase input power is equipped with a 8-ft, 3-
conductor cable with plug. An optional mating recep-
tacle (P/N 674540) is available. A line (wall) discon-
nect switch with a 40-ampere fuse or circuit breaker
should be provided at the main power panel. The
cable connecting the disconnect switch to the recep-
tacle should include three (two power and one
ground) No. 10 AWG insulated conductors.
The chassis must be connected to an approved
electrical ground. Failure to do so may result in
electrical shock, severe burns or death.
2.1 GENERAL
Proper installation can contribute materially to the
satisfactory and trouble-free operation of the
PowerCut-550 cutting package. It is suggested that
each step in this section be studied carefully and
followed as closely as possible.
2.2 EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
A source of clean, prefiltered dry air that supplies
250 cfh at 80 psig is required for the cutting opera-
tion. The air supply should not exceed 150 psig (the
maximum inlet pressure rating of the air filter-regu-
lator supplied with the package).
2.3 LOCATION
Adequate ventilation is necessary to provide proper
cooling of the PowerCut-550 and 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-
550 power source and wall or any other obstruction
to allow freedom of air movement through the power
source.
Installing or placing any type of filtering device will
restrict the volume of intake air, thereby subjecting
the power source internal components to overheat-
ing. The warranty is void if any type of filter device
is used.
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-550. 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.
A line (wall) disconnect switch, with proper sized
fuse or circuit breaker (see Table 2.1), should be
provided at the main power panel.
