SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read this entire installation section before you
start installation.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Only qualified personnel should per-
form this installation.
• Turn the input power OFF at the dis-
connect switch or fuse box before
working on this equipment. Turn off
the input power to any other equip-
ment connected to the welding sys-
tem at the disconnect switch or fuse
box before working on the equip-
ment.
• Do not touch electrically hot parts.
• Always connect the POWER WAVE
lug (located inside the reconnect input access
door) to a proper safety (Earth) ground.

LOCATION AND MOUNTING

The POWER WAVE i400 case is designed to sup-
®
port the Fanuc R30iA / R30iB controller and op box
(up to 300lbs), matching the controllerʼs footprint and
styling. Mounting is externally accessible for simplified
integration. The flexibility of the POWER WAVE
also allows it to be operated as a stand alone unit. In
either case, bolting the unit to the floor or a suitable
platform is recommended to provide maximum stabili-
ty.The minimum recommended clearance for chassis
removal is 26" (66cm) from the rear of the machine as
viewed from the output studs. See the Chassis
Removal Procedure for additional information.
CAUTION
• DO NOT MOUNT OVER COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES.
Where there is a combustible surface directly
under stationary or fixed electrical equipment,
that surface shall be covered with a steel plate at
least .06"(1.6mm) thick, which shall extend not
less than 5.90"(150mm) beyond the equipment
on all sides.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

The POWER WAVE i400 will operate in harsh envi-
®
ronments. Even so, it is important that simple preven-
tative measures are followed in order to assure long
life and reliable operation.
• The POWER WAVE i400 must be located where
®
there is free circulation of clean air such that air
movement in the louvered sections of the machine
will not be restricted.
INSTALLATION
• Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the POWER
WAVE
of air filters on the air intake is not recommended
because normal air flow may be restricted. Failure
to observe these precautions can result in exces-
sive operating temperatures and nuisance shut-
down.
• Do not use the POWER WAVE
environment. The power source should not be sub-
jected to falling water, nor should any parts of it be
submerged in water. Doing so may cause improper
operation as well as pose a safety hazard. The
best practice is to keep the machine in a dry, shel-
tered area.
