INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
SITE LOCATION
Select a clean, dry location with good ventilation and adequate working space around all components.
Operation without proper air flow will inhibit proper cooling and reduce duty cycle. To prevent
entry of cutting or other metal debris, the power supply must not be operated in the horizontal position. Operate the
power supply in the vertical position only with the power supply control panel side up.
The power supply is cooled by air flow through the side and end panels. Air flow must not be obstructed. Provide at
least 12 inches (300 mm) clearance on each side. Provide sufficient clearance around top of the unit to allow access to
top panel controls (minimum 12 inches or 300 mm).
NOTE: Review the safety precautions in the front of this manual to be sure that the location meets all safety
requirements.
