Safety measures at the workplace:
The workplace must be so arranged that people nearby are adequately protected
against damaging effects of optical radiation.
Spacial boundaries and shields must be set up to prevent reflections and penetration
by radiation to the greatest extent possible.
Combustible and flammable materials must be removed from the welding zone. It
must be ensured that a fire extinguisher is available at the workplace.
Ensure adequate ventilation and lighting at the workplace.
Weld only in rooms and areas where no hazards from fire, explosion,
smoke, fumes or moisture can occur.
When in doubt, an authorized welding supervisor or fire protection officer must be
consulted.
Depending on the process, stud welding can produce strong electromagnetic fields.
These can:
- be life-threatening for people with heart pacemakers,
- disturb or damage electrical or electronic devices,
- irrecoverably erase magnetic storage media,
- magnetize and damage watches.
The weld current cables also produce strong electromagnetic fields.
Make sure that the welding and earthing cables are as free of loops as possible and
are laid at an adequate distance from unrelated electrical devices.
This especially applies when welding at construction sites and on special
equipment.
When in doubt, check with the device manufacturer for the construction site or
special equipment.
The system owner is obligated to take suitable corrective measures.
Warning:
•
The INTRA 2100/1400 welding device is suitable according to
standard EN 55011 for use in an industrial environment (limit class A).
•
It is explicitly pointed out that devices in limit class A can cause radio
interference in residential and business areas.
