Safety rules Explanation of DANGER! safety notices Indicates immediate danger. ▶ If not avoided, death or serious injury will result. WARNING! Indicates a potentially hazardous situation. ▶ If not avoided, death or serious injury may result. CAUTION! Indicates a situation where damage or injury could occur. ▶...
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 manufacturer 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 studying and obeying all safety and danger notices carefully performing all stipulated inspection and maintenance work.
This may affect a number device types in terms of: Connection restrictions Criteria with regard to the maximum permissible mains impedance Criteria with regard to the minimum short-circuit power requirement at the interface with the public grid see "Technical data" In this case, the plant operator or the person using the device should check whether the device may be connected, where appropriate by discussing the matter with the power supply company.
Danger from The fumes produced during welding contain harmful gases and vapours. toxic gases and Welding fumes contain substances that cause cancer, as stated in Monograph 118 of the vapours International Agency for Research on Cancer. Use at-source extraction and a room extraction system. If necessary, use a welding torch with an integrated extraction device.
Risks from mains An electric shock is potentially life threatening and can be fatal. current and weld- Do not touch live parts either inside or outside the device. ing current During MIG/MAG welding and TIG welding, the welding wire, the wirespool, the feed rollers and all pieces of metal that are in contact with the welding wire are live.
Meandering weld- If the following instructions are ignored, meandering welding currents can develop with ing currents the following consequences: Fire hazard Overheating of parts connected to the workpiece Irreparable damage to ground conductors Damage to device and other electrical equipment Ensure that the workpiece is held securely by the workpiece clamp.
Shielding, if necessary Shield off other nearby devices Shield off entire welding installation EMF measures Electromagnetic fields may pose as yet unknown risks to health: effects on the health of others in the vicinity, e.g. wearers of pacemakers and hear- ing aids wearers of pacemakers must seek advice from their doctor before approaching the device or any welding that is in progress...
Hook chains and/or ropes onto all suspension points provided on the load-carrying equipment. Chains and ropes must be at the smallest angle possible to the vertical. Remove gas cylinder and wire-feed unit (MIG/MAG and TIG devices). If the wire-feed unit is attached to a crane holder during welding, always use a suitable, insulated wirefeeder hoisting attachment (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
The manufacturer's instructions must be observed as well as applicable national and international regulations for shielding gas cylinders and accessories. Danger from Risk of suffocation from the uncontrolled escape of shielding gas escaping shield- Shielding gas is colourless and odourless and, in the event of a leak, can displace the ing gas oxygen in the ambient air.
Before switching on the device, ensure that no one is likely to be endangered. Check the device at least once a week for obvious damage and proper functioning of safety devices. Always fasten the shielding gas cylinder securely and remove it beforehand if the device is to be transported by crane.
(e.g. relevant product standards of the EN 60 974 series). Fronius International GmbH hereby declares that the device is compliant with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text on the EU Declaration of Conformity can be found at the follow- ing address: http://www.fronius.com...
FK 9000 R is loc- ated beneath a power source. The cooling unit FK 9000 R is equipped with the following sensors as a standard: temperature controller: at a cooling return temperature of more than 70 °C the ser- vice code “Hot | H2O“...
Information on The shaft sealing surfaces inside the coolant pump are lubricated by the coolant, mean- leaks ing that a certain leakage flow should always be expected. A low leakage flow is permit- ted. The coolant pump requires a certain warm-up time after being started for the first time or upon restarting after a long period of downtime.
