2.2 Transport and Positioning
2.2.1 Transport
• The power supply must be exposed to shocks or strong vibrations.
• The power supply can be transported using a fork lift truck or by
hoist / crane using suspension hooks and screwed-on lugs.
• Do not bend the hose and cable set.
Note:
If the machine is subjected to shocks or vibrations the screwed joints
may loosen, in particular the cable and control line connections.
Loose connections can lead to faults.
2.2.2 Positioning
Caution!
Positioning and operation are only permitted in a dry environment.
• The power supply is cooled by convection.
• Therefore it should not be covered or obstructed.
Otherwise heat accumulation will occur!
• There must be a clearance of at least 30 cm around the power
supply.
Otherwise heat accumulation will occur!
• If due to lack of space there are restrictions on the positioning of
the power supply, other arrangements must be made to ensure an
adequate supply of cooling air.
• The power supply should not be positioned in the blasting area or
in the direct spraying area, because blasting and spraying dust
- reduces the cooling capacity,
- leads to the build-up of dust bridges which can result in leakage
current and charring,
- settles on the spray wires as far as the hose and cable set and is
transported by the spraying device into the contact tips. This
significantly impairs wire transport and spray wire contact. It can
lead to faults and interruptions in spraying.
• When positioning the drum decoiling devices take note of the follo-
wing (
Otherwise there is a danger of short-circuit) :
- ensure there is sufficient clearance between the two devices, in
particular when steel drums are being used.
- Look out for metal dust bridges.
Do not position on electrically-conducting floors, e.g. on steel pla-
tes.
