EMC and safety inspection
Apart from the instructions given in this operating manual, the general safety standards, in particular the rules for
prevention of accidents must be observed. The rules contain additional information’s about the prevention of
radiation, smoke, combustion, electric shock, fire and explosion.
Furthermore, we point out that in some operative ranges where, despite the observance of radiation limits, this
welding unit can cause electromagnetic interferences which are the responsibility of the user.
This means that in the domain of hospitals, for instance, the function of electro medical units, data-processing
equipment and the like (ECG, PC etc.) may be impaired.
Before putting the welding unit into service, please make sure to inform the authorities in charge of the above
mentioned equipment.
If you wish to use the cutting unit in domestic areas, special precautions have to be taken as well.
Adequate assistance in assessing the operative range and minimizing electromagnetic interferences (e.g. use of
screening lines) may be obtained from the Electromagnetic Compatibility Standards for Arc Welding Systems.
EN 60 974-10 (Electromagnetic compatibility EMC)
