MAGNETIC FIELDS AND INTERFERENCES
An electromagnetic field is created around the cables by current flow.
According to the standard IEC 60974-10, this class A device is designed to be used in an industrial or professional envi -
ronment. It can be difficult to ensure electromagnetic compatibility, due to conducted disturbances as well as radiation.
This equipment must be used and stored in a place protected from dust, acid, gas or any other corrosive substance.
Attention: this equipment does not comply with the standard IEC61000-3-12. If the machine is connected to the public
network on low voltage, the installer and operator must ensure that the machine can be connected - consult your power
supplier if necessary.
In order to reduce possible electromagnetic disturbances, you can:
Install electric filters close to the socket in case of excessive conducted disturbances. The earth and torch cables should
be as short as possible and be placed close together as far as possible from any other cable, power tool or electrical
cables.
The electromagnetic fields can disturb other equipment, eg; pacemaker or hearing aid.
People wearing pacemakers are advised to consult their doctor before using this device.
Do not use the welding unit to thaw pipes.
Handle gas cylinders with care. There is increased danger if the bottle or it’s valve are damaged.
Electric and magnetic fields may interfere with netwok cables and may cause disturbances.
Never wrap the welding leads around your body. Do not place your body between the earth and the torch cable, they
should be placed on the same side.
Electromagnetic disturbances should be reduced as much as possible if they disturb the operator's activity. The operator
is responsible for the installation and the use of the welding equipment and should seek advice from the manufacturer
if required.
ELECTRIC WIRING RULE TO REDUCE DISTURBANCES
It is sometimes useful to set all the parts at the same voltage (while respecting the standards in place for each).
Installing an earth connection to the workpiece may reduce the disturbances, and will not increase the risk to the ope -
rator or any other electrical appliances.
The shielding of the welding cables and of any other cables may be useful.
IP PROTECTION
IP23S
- Protective case prevents access to hazardous parts with fingers or other solid foreign bodies with a diameter equal to
or higher than 12.5mm
- Protective grid - against rain fall at an angle of 60°.
- Case protects against effects of water/dust penetration when the equipment is not in use.
SET UP
Only qualified personnel authorized by the manufacturer should perform the installation of the welding equipment.
During set up, the operator must ensure that the machine is unplugged. The serial or parallel connections on a generator
are prohibited.
TRANSPORTATION OF THE MACHINE
Two handles are fitted on the equipment to carry it easily, be careful to not underestimate its weight.
This machine is not equipped with a lifting fascility - the operator is required to make the necessary arrangements for
safe lifting and transport of the machine (be careful not to tilt the machine).
Do not use the cables or torch to move the machine. The welding equipment must be moved in an upright position.
Never lift the machine while there is a gas cylinder on the support shelf - follow the separate movement guidelines
specified for the gas bottle.
The removal of the wire reel from the machine is recommended before undertaking any lifting operation.
SETTING UP THE MACHINE
Rules to follow:
- Put the machine on the floor (maximum incline of 15°.)
- Ensure the work area has sufficient ventillation for welding, and that there is easy access to the control panel.
- The machine must be placed in a sheltered area away from rain or direct sunlight.
