PRECAUTIONS:
1)
Some plasma or welding cables are strong sources of high frequency interference.
NEVER lay a plasma or welding cable across the controls of the machine.
2)
Always physically separate the plasma or welding cable leads from the machine
cables. For example, the plasma or welding cable leads should NEVER be bundled
with a pendant cable or the machine power cord. Maximize the separation between
any machine cables and the plasma or welding cables.
3)
Strictly follow the grounding procedures specified for the plasma or welding unit.
NOTE: Some plasma and welding units produce exceptionally large amounts of high
frequency noise. They may require a grounding rod be driven into the earth within six
feet (2 meters) of the plasma or welding unit to become compatible with an automatic
cutting or welding process.
4)
If the high frequency is produced using a spark gap, adjust the points so the gap is as
small as possible. The larger the gap, the higher the voltage and the higher the
interference.
5)
Some plasma or welding units will inject high frequency interference into the AC
power line. Use separate power line branches whenever possible to power the
plasma or welding source and the machine. Do not plug them into the same outlet box.
6)
High frequency noise may enter the machine through the plasma or welding supply
remote contactor leads. Some plasma and welding sources can produce noise spikes
of up to several thousand volts. These sources are not compatible with automated
cutting and welding equipment. It is recommended that the remote contactor leads on
these plasma or welding sources not be connected to the machine. An alternate
solution is to purchase a separate remote contactor isolation box.
HIGH FREQUENCY WARNINGS
WARNING:
HIGH FREQUENCY CAN EFFECT MACHINE
OPERATION AND THEREFORE, WELD QUALITY.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS ARE REQUIRED WHEN USING PLASMA,
TIG OR ANY WELDING PROCESS THAT USES HIGH FREQUENCY TO
STRIKE AN ARC.
Read the precautions below before installing and using the equipment.
