INSTALLATION

3.01 ENVIRONMENT

These units are designed for use in environments with
increased hazard of electric shock.
A. Examples of environments with increased hazard of
electric shock are:
1. In locations in which freedom of movement is
restricted, so that the operator is forced to perform
the work in a cramped (kneeling, sitting or lying)
position with physical contact with conductive parts.
2. In locations which are fully or partially limited by
conductive elements, and in which there is a high risk
of unavoidable or accidental contact by the operator.
B. Environments with increased hazard of electric shock do
not include places where electrically conductive parts
in the near vicinity of the operator, which can cause
increased hazard, have been insulated.

3.02 LOCATION

Be sure to locate the welder according to the
following guidelines:
A. In areas, free from moisture and dust.
B. Ambient temperature between -10° C to 40° C.
C. In areas, free from oil, steam and corrosive gases.
D. In areas, not subjected to abnormal vibration or shock.
E. In areas, not exposed to direct sunlight or rain.
F. Place at a distance of 300mm or more from walls or
similar that could restrict natural air flow for cooling.

3.03 VENTILATION

Since the inhalation of welding fumes can be harmful, ensure
that the welding area is effectively ventilated.
3.04 MAINS SUPPLY VOLTAGE
REQUIREMENTS
The Mains Supply Voltage should be within ± 15% of the rated
Mains Supply Voltage. If actual Mains Supply Voltage is outside
this range Welding Current may not be available and may
cause internal components to fail.
Refer to Specifications on page 17 for Supply
Voltage information.
The Welding Power Source must be:
• Correctly installed, if necessary, by a qualified electrician.
• Correctly earthed (electrically) in accordance with
local regulations.
• Connected to the correct size power point and fuse as per
the Specifications on page 17.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
This product has been fitted with a supply plug
as indicated in Section 2.10. Note that the welding
output range applicable with the fitted supply plug
is detailed in Section 2.10.
