CAUTION

Equipment damage or faults may occur if the PC is connected incorrectly!
Not using the SECINT X10USB interface results in equipment damage or faults in signal
transmission. The PC may be destroyed due to high frequency ignition pulses.
• Interface SECINT X10USB must be connected between the PC and the welding machine!
• The connection must only be made using the cables supplied (do not use any additional

extension cables)!

NOTE

Please note the relevant documentation of the accessory components.
