Pre installation & EMC information
The installer of this equipment must make an assessment of the area before installing.
It is the users responsibility to ensure that if any electromagnetic disturbances are detected to
resolve this before continuing.
As with other welding machines it is preferable to use this machine as far away as possible
from sensitive electrical or electronic equipment such as computers, telecom equipment,
safety critical equipment, transmitters and receiving equipment etc.
There is a risk to sensitive equipment from radiated or conducted emissions from this
machine.
This machine is designed for use in industrial premises, when used in other environments
there could be potential difficulties with electromagnetic interference with other equipment.
Consideration must be also given to other premises as the emissions may not be limited to
the installed premises.
The following are methods to reduce emissions.
1) Keep all welding cables short close together and at ground level.
2) Equipotential bonding of metal components in the work area and bonding of the work
piece can be considered however there are electrical safety implications for the
operator with increased risk of shock if the electrode is touched; therefore it is
important the operator is aware and adequately protected from making contact with
the work and the electrode.
Before bonding the area and work piece consult an
experienced electrician.
3) This equipment must be properly maintained and all screws holding the sides etc kept
in place.
4) Sometimes it may be necessary to fit additional mains input filters or even screen the
cables and / or work area. This will involve consulting an experienced engineer.
Electrical Installation
This machine must be connected to the electricity supply by a competent person
Do not connect this machine to any voltage other than that marked on the rear of the
machine which is single phase 230V or 3 phase 400V
230V single phase models
Make sure your supply voltage matches the voltage model of the
Machine. Ensure the green/yellow wire is connected to the earth terminal in the mains plug
the other two wires are normally blue and brown wires which must be connected to the
appropriate voltage, the blue is neutral and the brown is live, in some instances the colours of
