FX360XL

INSTALLATION

WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
ONLY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN SHOULD
CONNECT THE INPUT LEADS TO THE
FX360XL MACHINE. CONNECTIONS
SHOULD BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH
ALL LOCAL AND NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODES AND THE CONNECTION DIAGRAM
LOCATED UNDERNEATH THE CASE TOP OF
THE MACHINE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN
BODILY INJURY OR DEATH.

InpUT anD GrOUnD COnneCTIOns

The FX360XL comes standard with a power cord. Connect the
supply lines to 3 phase power and the ground according to your
local and national electrical codes.

InpUT FUse anD sUpply WIre COnsIDeraTIOns

Refer to technical specifications for recommended fuse, wire sizes
and type of the copper wires. Fuse the input circuit with the
recommended super lag fuse or delay type breakers (also called
"inverse time" or "thermal/magnetic" circuit breakers). Choose
input and grounding wire size according to local or national
electrical codes. Using input wire sizes, fuses or circuit breakers
smaller than recommended may result in "nuisance" shut-offs
from welder inrush currents, even if the machine is not being used
at high currents.
lOCaTIOn
Location and ventilation for cooling
Place the welder where clean cooling air can freely circulate in
through the rear louvers and out through the case sides. Dirt, dust,
or any foreign material that can be drawn into the welder should
be kept at a minimum. Failure to observe these precautions can
result in excessive operating temperatures and nuisance
shutdowns.
Tilting
Place the machine directly on a secure, level surface or on a
recommended undercarriage. The machine may topple over if this
procedure is not followed.
Lifting
The FX360XL has two handles that can be used to lift the
machine.
Both handles should be used when lifting the machine. When
using a crane or overhead device to lift using the handles, a lifting
strap should be connected to both handles. Do not attempt to lift
the FX360XL with accessories attached to it.
Stacking
The FX360XL cannot be stacked.
Environmental limitations
The FX360XL is IP23 rated for use in an outdoor environment. The
machine should not be subjected to falling water during use nor
should any parts of it be submerged in water. Doing so may cause
improper operation as well as pose a safety hazard. The best
practice is to keep the machine in a dry, sheltered area.
Do not mount the FX360XL over combustible surfaces. Where
there is a combustible surface directly under stationary or fixed
electrical equipment, that surface shall be covered with a steel
plate at least .060" (1.6mm) thick, which shall extend not less
than 5.90" (150mm) beyond the equipment on all sides.
