3.2 Installation Environment
This section explains the installation environment of the welding power source.
3.2.1
Installation environment
• Location with no combustible materials or flammable gas
If combustible materials cannot be removed, cover them with noncombustible covers.
• Location with no scattering of organic solvent, chemicals, cutting oil, and composition oil or atmosphere
containing the above
Such materials cause crack (breaking) and deterioration in the plastic part
• Location with no exposure to direct sunlight or rain
• Robust and flat floor surface such as concrete pavement
Assure sufficient floor face strength to ensure that the weight of welding power source can withstand.
Face the surface with the eyebolt on upside to prevent from falling.
• Location with an ambient temperature of +14 to +104°F (-10 to 40°C)
• No condensation at location with an ambient humidity of 50% or lower (ambient temperature of 104°F
(40°C)), and 90% or lower (ambient temperature of 68°F (20°C))
• Location with an incline of 10° or less
(For the welding power source with wheels, use chock to prevent from sliding.)
• Location with no metallic foreign body such as spatter entering the welding power source
• Installation distance of 11.8" (30 cm) or more between the welding power source and the wall or other
welding power source
Ensure not to block the ventilation hole.
• Location with no wind on the arc section
Install a wind shield to protect arc from wind.
3.2.2
Electromagnetic interference
To prevent electromagnetic troubles, read the following. Also, if electromagnetic troubles occur, check the following again.
• Shorten the input / power cable or keep it away from other cables and equipment.
• Change the installation place of the welding power source.
• Mount an input cable in the grounded metallic conduit.
• Shield the whole welding places from electromagnetic trouble. If electromagnetic troubles are still not
solved after following the above instructions, consult your nearest dealer.
• Add an appropriate line filter on the equipment or welding power source side.
• For prevention from fire or damage to the welding power source, be sure to install in a
location that satisfies the following environment
