1.1
Installation Environment
The INARC-1000 I series is designed for use in adverse environments. Examples
of environments with increased adverse conditions are:
z
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;
z
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;
z
In wet or damp hot locations where humidity or perspiration considerably reduces
the skin resistance of the human body and the insulation properties of accessories.
z
Environments with adverse conditions do not include places where electrically
conductive parts, in the near vicinity of the operator, which can cause increased
hazard, have been insulated.
z
The gradient of ground must be no more than 10°
z
Ensure no wind at the welding position, or use screen to block the wind.
z
When using water-cooled torch, must be care of not being frozen.
z
Welding power sources with degree of protection IP21S may be stored, but are not
intended to be used outside during precipitation unless sheltered.
