INSTALLATION

FALLING EQUIPMENT can cause injury

• Do not lift this machine using lift bale if it is equipped with

a heavy accessory such as trailer or gas
cylinder.

• Lift only with equipment of adequate lifting

capacity.

• Be sure machine is stable when lifting

The machine should be located in a clean, dry

place where there is free circulation of clean air, such that air
movement entering the front and exiting the back will not be
restricted. Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the machine
should be kept to a minimum. Failure to observe these
precautions can result in excessive operating temperatures and
nuisance shutdown of the machine.

The Idealarc R3R welders can be stacked three high when the
following precautions are observed:

1.

Be sure the bottom machine is on a firm, level surface
suitable for the total weight up to 608kg of the stacked
machines.

2.

Stack the machines with the fronts flush. be certain the pins
on the top font corners of the lower machines fit through the
holes in the base rails of the upper machines.

3.

No unit heavier than the bottom unit should be stacked on
top of it

INPUT POWER CONNECTION

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Have an electrician install and service this

equipment.

• Turn the input power off at the fuse box

before working on equipment.

• Do not touch electrically hot parts.

Remove the rear access panel. Connect the three phase input
power to the three line terminals on the input contactor, and the
earth ground lead to the ground stud marked with the symbol.
Install the reconnect panel for the proper input voltage per the
diagram pasted inside the access panel cover.

DUTY CYCLE

The maximum output rating of this welder is at a 35% duty cycle.
Duty cycle is based on a ten minute period. Therefore, the welder
can be operated at the maximum rated output for 3.5 minutes out
of every 10 minute period without overheating.

OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

With the machine power switch off, the output leads are
connected to the output terminals marked “–” and “+”. They are
located at the lower right and lower left corners of the front panel.
Strain relief for the electrode and work cables is provided by
routing the leads through the rectangular holes in the base before
the connections to the output terminals are made.

The recommended output cable sizes can be found in the Table
below.
