CY-210E CAUTION Always use a terminal cover. Touching the terminal block directly may result in electric shock. Be sure to fit the block with a cover. Connect the cables securely. Improper connection of a cable may result in fire or electric shock. Use proper tools (wire strippers, pressure wire connectors, etc.) for terminal treatment of the connecting cables.
CY-210E (2) Precautions for Handling Install the Controller securely on a firm and level surface, to ensure that it will not fall. Do not install the Controller in the following locations: Damp areas (where the humidity is above 90%), areas where chemicals are handled, dusty areas, areas near a high noise source, areas where water may condense, areas exposed to large amounts of vibration or shock, and areas where temperatures are above 45°C or below 0°C Clean the exterior of the Controller using a soft, dry cloth or one slightly dampened with water.
CY-210E 2. Features This product is a constant/alternating-current resistance weld control with a 15-schedule setting function. It is controlled by a microcomputer, allowing it to be applied to all types of welding. Due to the plating-layer treatment by the pre-stage current, heat treatment by the post-stage current, etc., splashing is prevented, the welding tip is protected from overheating, and an ideal welding current can be set.
