Conditions for use and installation
The PCL 600 is suitable for installation and use in an environment with the following specifications:
Ventilated, wind- and rainproof environment.
Admissible ambient temperature of 0º C to +35º C.
Maximum atmospheric humidity of 90% non-condensing.
Minimum illumination intensity of 500 lux.
WARNING!
Due to the plasma cutting process hazardous substances may be
created. Consult the instruction manual of the plasma unit for more
information.
1.5 Noise
emissions
The plasma cutting process causes noise emissions which increase with higher currents and thicker
material. Please refer to the plasma instruction manual for detailed information. The table below gives a
general indication of the expected noise emissions. Emissions above 70 dB(A) for extended periods can
cause damage to the hearing. Ear protection must be worn when using the plasma cutting process.

WARNING!
The plasma cutting process generates noise emissions above 70 dB(A), ear
protection must be worn at all times.
1.6 Gas
supplies
The cylinders must always be placed upright and in a secured position.
Do not use damaged cylinders, pressure reducers or armatures.
Use pressure reducers only for the gas for which they are intended.
Do not lubricate pressure reducers with grease or oil.
All parts coming into contact with oxygen must be protected from grease and oil.
The following gas supplies must be available where the machine is installed:
Compressed air. Non-greased, non-condensed, filtered for particles < 40 µm. Pressure 12 bar.
Argon. Non-greased, non-condensed, filtered for particles < 5 µm. Pressure 12 bar.
Hydrogen. Non-greased, non-condensed, filtered for particles < 5 µm. Pressure 12 bar.
Nitrogen. Non-greased, non-condensed, filtered for particles < 5 µm. Pressure 12 bar.
Oxygen. Non-greased, non-condensed, purity 99.5%, filtered for particles < 5 µm. Pressure 12 bar.
