Safety rules Explanation of DANGER! Indicates immediate and real danger. If it is not avoided, death or se- safety symbols rious injury will result. WARNING! Indicates a potentially dangerous situation. Death or serious injury may result if appropriate precautions are not taken. CAUTION! Indicates a situation where damage or injury could occur.
Proper use The device is to be used exclusively for its intended purpose. The device is intended solely for the welding processes specified on the rating plate. Any use above and beyond this purpose is deemed improper. The manufac- turer shall not be held liable for any damage arising from such usage. Proper use includes: carefully reading and following all the instructions given in the operating instructions...
Obligations of Before using the device, all persons instructed to do so undertake: personnel to observe the basic instructions regarding safety at work and accident prevention to read these operating instructions, especially the "Safety rules" section and sign to confirm that they have understood them and will follow them. Before leaving the workplace, ensure that people or property cannot come to any harm in your absence.
Protective clothing refers to a variety of different items. Operators should: protect eyes and face from UV rays, heat and sparks using a protective visor and regulation filter. wear regulation protective goggles with side protection behind the protec- tive visor. wear stout footwear that provides insulation even in wet conditions.
The relevant material safety data sheets and manufacturer's specifications for the listed components should therefore be studied carefully. Flammable vapours (e.g. solvent fumes) should be kept away from the arc's radiation area. Danger from fly- Flying sparks may cause fires or explosions. ing sparks Never weld close to flammable materials.
Operating the device on a grid without a ground conductor and in a socket without a ground conductor contact will be deemed gross negligence. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage arising from such usage. If necessary, provide an adequate earth connection for the workpiece. Switch off unused devices.
EMC measures In certain cases, even though a device complies with the standard limit values for emissions, it may affect the application area for which it was designed (e.g. when there is sensitive equipment at the same location, or if the site where the device is installed is close to either radio or television receivers).

During operation Ensure that all covers are closed and all side panels are fitted properly. Keep all covers and side panels closed. The welding wire emerging from the welding torch poses a high risk of injury (piercing of the hand, injuries to the face and eyes, etc.). Therefore always keep the welding torch away from the body (devices with wire-feed unit) and wear suitable protective goggles.
Factors affecting The following requirements with regard to shielding gas quality must be met if welding results the welding system is to operate in a correct and safe manner: Size of solid matter particles < 40 μm Pressure dew point < -20 °C Max.
Before transporting the device, allow coolant to drain completely and detach the following components: Wire-feed unit Wirespool Shielding gas cylinder After transporting the device, the device must be visually inspected for dam- age before commissioning. Any damage must be repaired by trained service technicians before commissioning the device.
Commissioning, It is impossible to guarantee that bought-in parts are designed and manufac- maintenance and tured to meet the demands made of them, or that they satisfy safety require- repair ments. Use only original spare and wearing parts (also applies to standard parts). Do not carry out any modifications, alterations, etc.
(e.g. relevant product standards from the EN 60 974 series). Fronius International GmbH declares that the device complies with directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU Declaration of Conformity is available from the following website: http://www.fronius.com Devices with the CSA test mark satisfy the requirements of the relevant stand- ards in Canada and the USA.

Minimum equipment needed for welding task General Depending on which welding process you intend to use, a certain minimum equipment lev- el will be needed in order to work with the power source. The welding processes and the minimum equipment levels required for the welding task are then described.
Before installation and commissioning Safety WARNING! Incorrect operation or shoddy workmanship can cause serious injury or damage. All work described in this document must only be carried out by trained and qualified personnel. All functions described in this document must only be used by trained and qualified personnel.
Generator-pow- The MW 1700/2200 and TT 2200 power sources are generator-compatible, provided that ered operation the maximum apparent power delivered by the generator is at least 10 kVA. (MW 1700 / 2200, TT 2200) NOTE The voltage delivered by the generator must never exceed the upper or lower limits of the mains voltage tolerance range.
Connecting up the mains cable on US power sourc- General The US power sources are supplied without a mains cable. A mains cable appropriate for the connection voltage must be fitted prior to commissioning. A strain-relief device for a cable cross-section AWG 10 is installed on the power source. Strain-relief devices for larger cable cross-sections must be designed accordingly.
Insert the mains cable into the strain- relief device NOTE! Push the mains cable in far enough to make it possible to connect the PE conductor and the phase conductors to the block ter- minal properly. Tighten the clamping nut (size 30 mm) Tighten the screws (2 x) Connect the mains cable to the block terminal correctly:...
