INSTALLATION
PROCEDURES

3.01 Introduction

Depending on how the system was ordered, some
Power Supply Options may already be installed.
If option(s) have been factory installed some of the
instructions may not apply. It is recommended
that all sub-sections be read for general informa-
tion.
This section describes installation of the power supply
and connecting the torch.
These instructions apply to the Power Supply only; in-
stallation procedures for the Torch, Options, and Acces-
sories are given in Manuals specifically provided for
those units.
The complete installation consists of:

1. Site selection

2. Unpacking

3. Connections to Power Supply
a. Input power
b. Gas
c. Work cable
d. Torch Leads
4. Grounding
5. Operator training
3.02 Site Selection
Select a clean, dry location with good ventilation and
adequate working space around all components.
Review Important Safety Precautions (page 1) to
be sure that the selected location meets all safety
requirements.
The power supply is fan cooled by air flow through the
front panel to the rear panel. Air flow must not be ob-
structed. Provide at least 2 feet (0.61 m) in the rear and
at least 6 inches (0.15 m) on each side for clearance .
Manual 0-2700
NOTE
NOTE
Provide sufficient clearance in front of the unit to allow
access to the front panel controls (minimum 6 inches or
0.15 m).
Operation without proper air flow will inhibit
proper cooling and reduce duty cycle.
3.03 Unpacking
Equipment that was ordered as a system is pack-
aged in one shipping carton. All options and the
Torch are factory installed.
Each component of the system is packaged and protected
with a carton and packing material to prevent damage
during shipping.
