SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
SHOULD PERFORM THIS INSTAL-
LATION.
• TURN OFF INPUT POWER TO THE
POWER SOURCE AT THE DISCONNECT
SWITCH OR FUSE BOX BEFORE WORKING ON
THIS EQUIPMENT. TURN OFF THE INPUT
POWER TO ANY OTHER EQUIPMENT CON-
NECTED TO THE WELDING SYSTEM AT THE
DISCONNECT SWITCH OR FUSE BOX BEFORE
WORKING ON THE EQUIPMENT.
• DO NOT TOUCH ELECTRICALLY HOT PARTS.
• CONNECT THE ARC TRACKER™ TO AN OUT-
LET
WITH
PROPER
GROUND.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION
UNIT IS IP23 RATED.
The ARC TRACKER™ will operate in harsh environ-
ments. Even so, it is important that simple preventative
measures are followed in order to assure long life and
reliable operation.
• Keep machine dry. Shelter from rain and snow. Do
not place on wet ground or in puddles.
TILTING
Place the ARC TRACKER™ on a secure, level sur-
face. The weight of the welding cables hanging from
the connection terminals may cause the ARC TRACK-
ER™ to topple. Secure the welding cables to an
appropriate structure to reduce the hanging weight to
stabilize the ARC TRACKER™
STACKING
The ARC TRACKER™ cannot be stacked.
GROUNDING AND INPUT CONNECTIONS
MACHINE GROUNDING
The frame of the ARC TRACKER™ must be
grounded. By using the power cord shipped
with the unit, or by using a cord per the speci-
fications described here, the unit will be properly
grounded if connected to a grounded receptacle. See
your local and national electrical codes for proper
receptacle grounding methods.
INPUT CONNECTIONS
Installation should be made in accordance with the
appropriate National Electrical Code, all local codes
and the information in this manual.
INSTALLATION
SAFETY
(EARTH)
ARC TRACKER™
The ARC TRACKER™ can be connected to 120 V AC
or 230 V AC, 50 or 60 Hz. The power supply inside
the unit can accept any single phase input voltage
from 120 V AC to 230 V AC. The unit is shipped from
the factory with a 6ft. (2m) detachable input cord with
a NEMA 5-15P plug and an IEC 60320 plug recepta-
cle. For the European market, it is suggested that an
input cord with a CEE 7/ 7 plug and IEC 60320 plug
receptacle be used. For all other regions, a cord
should be used with a plug which provides between
120 V AC and 230 V AC, 50 or 60Hz, and has the IEC
60320 plug receptacle. Cord must provide proper
ground per national electrical codes.
230 V INPUT
To change from 120 V to 230 V single phase input,
the NEMA 5-15P plug can be replaced by any NEMA
250 V type plug (for example – type 6-30P).
ATTACHMENT PLUG
In all cases, the green or green/yellow grounding wire
must be connected to the grounding pin of the plug,
usually identified by a green screw. All attachment
plugs must comply with the Standard for Attachment
Plugs and Receptacles, UL498. The product is con-
sidered acceptable for use only when an attachment
plug as specified is properly attached to the supply
cord. The ARC TRACKER™ will auto reconnect to
either 120 V or 230 V supplies.
HIGH FREQUENCY PROTECTION
The EMC classification of the ARC TRACKER™ is
Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) group 2, class
A. The ARC TRACKER™ is for industrial use only.
(See Electromagnetic Compatibility EMC Safety
Section).
Harmonic Current Information:
Design complies with EN6100-3-2, -3.
Locate the ARC TRACKER™ away from radio con-
trolled machinery. The normal operation of the ARC
TRACKER™ may adversely affect the operation of RF
controlled equipment, which may result in bodily injury
or damage to the equipment.
