According to EN 60974-7, the value for the alternating current (AC) with
70% of the tested direct current value (DC) must be specified.
*
When used with welding fume extraction systems of the xFUME series.
The degree to which welding fumes are captured during torch-integrated
extraction depends on many factors, such as the position of the suction
nozzle, the welding geometry, and the rate of smoke emission during the
welding process. Under optimal conditions, over 95% of the welding fumes
can be captured in accordance with ISO 21904-3.

Coolant: Connect the flow line (blue) and return line (red).
• Check the coolant’s minimum fill level.
• Recommendation: Use ABICOR BINZEL coolant from the BTC range.
• To prevent damage to the welding machine, do not use deionized or
demineralized water.
• Purge the coolant circuit the first time the equipment is commissioned and
with every cable assembly replacement.
