Auxiliary Power - Lincoln Electric Ranger 330MPX Operator's Manual

RANGER ® 330MPX

AuXILIARY POWER

CAUTION
An electric shock can result in
serious injury or death.
• Always perform the GFCI test before
using the generator. If the GFCI system
fails the test, the machine must be
repaired by an authorized service center.
• Due to the risk of power interruption, do not power life
support equipment from this machine.
• Unplug accessories and tools before attempting
service.
• Close the front service doors protecting the receptacles
when operating the machine.
• Do not test or reset the GFCI while at idle speed.
• If the LED blinks, stop using the GFCI receptacle and
have it replaced by an authorized service center.
• Long extension cords or cords with poor insulation may
allow enough leakage current to trip the GFCI.
When set to high idle, the output frequency is controlled to 57 to
63 Hz under steady state conditions. If the machine is set to
AUTO, the output frequency may drop to 40 Hz with a lower
voltage. Verify equipment connected to the Ranger is compatible
with the frequency and voltage.
For equipment affected by momentary voltage fluctuations, install
a plug-in surge suppressor on the receptacles feeding the
equipment.
The Lincoln Electric Company is not responsible for
any damage to electrical components improperly
connected to this product.
Overload operation:
Never exceed the rated load when it is running continuously.
Before connecting and operating the Ranger, calculate the
electrical power (in Watts) required by the devices to be powered.
This electrical power rating is usually found on manufacturer's
plate on motors, appliances and power supplies. The sum total
power required by these devices should not exceed the nominal
power of the Ranger.
Most motors require more than their rated wattage for start-up.
Devices with large start-up power demands many not allow the
engine to reach normal operating rpm when the machine is set to
AUTO. Turn the OFF/AUTO/HIGH/START switch to HIGH.
In the event that the combined weld + auxiliary power load
exceeds the machine's capability, the welding circuit will continue
to drive as much power as possible without causing damage to
any components. Continued operation in an overload state will
bog and stall the engine. Overloading just the auxiliary power
circuits will cause the circuit breakers to trip.
