SECTION 4 − INSTALLATION 4-1. Important Information Regarding CE Products (Sold Within The EU) A. Information On Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) This equipment shall not be used by the general public as the EMF limits for the general public might be exceeded during welding. This equipment is built in accordance with EN 60974−1 and is intended to be used only in an occupational environment (where the general public access is prohibited or regulated in such a way as to be similar to occupational use) by an expert or an instructed person.
4-4. Duty Cycle And Overheating Duty Cycle is percentage of 10 min- utes that unit can weld at rated load without overheating. If unit overheats, thermostat(s) opens, output stops, and cooling fan runs. Wait fifteen minutes for unit to cool. Reduce amperage or duty cycle before welding.
4-6. Selecting A Location Lifting Eye Lifting Forks Use lifting eye or lifting forks to move unit. If using lifting forks, extend forks beyond opposite side of unit. Movement Line Disconnect Device Locate unit near correct input power supply. Special installation may be required where gasoline or volatile liquids are present −...

4-9. 115 VAC Receptacle And Supplementary Protectors Turn power before connecting to receptacle. 115 V 15 A AC Receptacle Power is shared between RC9 and Remote 14 receptacle RC8 (see Section 4-15). Supplementary Protector CB1 Supplementary Protector CB2 CB1 protects the 115 volts AC por- tion of RC8 and RC9 from overload.
4-11. Weld Output Terminals And Selecting Cable Sizes* NOTICE − The Total Cable Length in Weld Circuit (see table below) is the combined length of both weld cables. For example, if the power source is 100 ft (30 m) from the workpiece, the total cable length in the weld circuit is 200 ft (2 cables x 100 ft). Use the 200 ft (60 m) column to determine cable size.
4-12. Connecting Weld Output Cables Tools Needed: 3/4 in. (19 mm) 803 778-B cable terminal and copper bar. Make Weld Cable Terminal Turn off power before connecting to sure that the surfaces of the weld cable weld output terminals. Copper Bar terminal and copper bar are clean.
4-13. Basic Sub Arc (SAW) Welding Customer must supply the following: power source, power source control cable, wire drive assembly, wire drive assembly cable, drive rolls, gun, welding wire, weld cables, remote voltage sense leads, and flux system for the desired application. A.

Protected by supplementary protector CB2. 24 VOLTS AC Contact closure to A completes 24 volts AC contactor control circuit. Command reference; 0 to +10 volts DC (CC), +10 volts DC (CV). Remote control circuit common.
4-16. Connecting Remote Control Turn off power before con- necting a remote control. Remote 14 Receptacle RC8 Connect remote control to RC8, if plug does not fit, wire cord to terminal strip 1T. Turn Off and disconnect in- put power before opening terminal strip cover.
4-17. Electrical Service Guide Elec Serv 2011−08 Failure to follow these electrical service guide recommendations could create an electric shock or fire hazard. These recommenda- tions are for a dedicated circuit sized for the rated output and duty cycle of the welding power source. In dedicated circuit installations, the National Electrical Code (NEC) allows the receptacle or conductor rating to be less than the rating of the circuit protection device.
