SECTION 3:
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND SETUP
G. The enclosure design of this power source
meets the requirements of IP23S as outlined in
EN 60529. This provides adequate protection
against solid objects (greater than 12mm), and
direct protection from vertical drops. Under no
circumstances should the unit be operated or
connected in a micro environment that will exceed
the stated conditions. For further information
please refer to EN 60529.
H. Precautions must be taken against the power
source toppling over. The power source must
be located on a suitable horizontal surface in the
upright position when in use.
WARNING
This equipment should be electrically
connected by a qualified electrician.
3.03 Ventilation
!
WARNING
Since the inhalation of welding fumes can
be harmful, ensure that the welding area
is effectively ventilated.
3.04 Mains Supply Voltage
Requirements
The Mains supply voltage
should be within ± 15% of the rated mains supply
voltage. Too low a voltage may cause poor welding
performance. Too high a supply voltage will cause
components to overheat and possibly fail.
The Welding Power Source must be:
• Correctly installed, if necessary, by a qualified
electrician.
• Correctly earthed (electrically) in accordance
with local regulations.
• Connected to the correct size power point and
fuse as per the Specifications on page 2-5.
3.01 Environment
This machine is not designed for use in environments
with increased hazard of electric shock as outlined
in EN 60974.1. Additional safety precautions may
be required when using unit in an environment with
increased hazard of electric shock. Please refer to
relevant local standards for further information prior
to using in such areas.
A. Examples of environments with increased hazard
of electric shock are:
1. In locations in which freedom of movement
is restricted, so that the operator is forced
to perform the work in a cramped (kneeling,
sitting or lying) position with physical contact
with conductive parts.
2. In locations which are fully or partially limited
by conductive elements, and in which there
is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental
contact by the operator.
3. In wet or damp hot locations where humidity
or perspiration considerable reduces the
skin resistance of the human body and the
insulation properties of accessories.
B. Environments with increased hazard of electric
shock do not include places where electrically
conductive parts in the near vicinity of the
operator, which can cause increased hazard, have
been insulated.
3.02 Location
Be sure to locate the welder according to the following
guidelines:
A. In areas, free from moisture and dust.
B. Ambient temperature between 0° C to 40° C.
C. In areas, free from oil, steam and corrosive
gases.
D. In areas, not subjected to abnormal vibration or
shock.
E. In areas, not exposed to direct sunlight or rain.
F. Place at a distance of 300mm or more from walls
or similar that could restrict natural air flow for
cooling.
