Setting-up in-
structions Degree of protection: IP23
The machine is tested to IP23, meaning that it is protected against:
-
penetration by solid bodies greater than diam. 12 mm
- spray up to an angle of 60° to the vertical
Open-air operation
As indicated by its protection category IP23, the machine may be set up and operated in
the open air. However, the built-in electrical parts must be protected from direct wetting
(see protection category IP23)
Colling air and dust
Position the machine so that the cooling air can be drawn in freely through the louvers,
and then be expelled unhindered. The cool-ing air passes through ventilating slits in the
casing into the interior of the machine, where it cools inactive components in the ven-
tilation channel before flowing out through the ventilation outlet. The ventilation channel
has an important protective function. The following cooling cycle is automatically cont-
rolled by an electronic thermostatic cut-out system. (Fig. 1). Make sure that any metal
dust caused by e. g. grinding work is not sucked into the machine by the cooling fan.
Stability
The power source can be stood on a surface with an inclination of up to 15°! At inclinati-
ons above 15° there is a risk of the power source toppling over.

Mains connection
WARNING! Electrical work like fitting or changing the power plug, may only be
carried out by a qualified electrician!
Fig. 8 Tolerance range of the mains voltage
195V 265V 230V
+15% -15%
The Transtig 1600 / 1700 may be operated as standard on a mains voltage of 230V (+/-
15% tolerance range).
NOTE! The high frequency used for contact-free ignition with TIG welding, can
interfere with the operation of insufficiently shielded computer equipment, EDP
centres and industrial robots, even causing complete system breakdown. Also,
TIG welding may interfere with electronic telephone notworks and with radio and
TV reception.
WARNING! On machines designed for use with a special voltage, the technical
data on the machine rating plate will apply.
WARNING! The mains plug used must correspond exactly to the mains voltage
and current rating of the welding machine in question, as given in the technical
data!
WARNING! The fuse protection for the mains lead should be suitable for the
current consumption of the welding machine!
WARNING! Never use the welding machine for thawing frozen pipes!
