    Operate the system only as described in this manual The last version of manual with all alterations may be found at Multiplaz web-site. The Multiplaz-3500 system safety is assured by design as well as manufacturing and operating procedures Per specification, all systems are tested for power supply compliance with insulation and ground resistance requirements Torches are also tested for insulation strength.
  • Page 11 Caution! This equipment corresponds to Class A of Electromagnetic compatibility and it is not intended for use in residential locations where the electrical power is provided by the public low-voltage supply system. There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in those locations, due to conducted as well as radiated disturbances.

    The system is equipped with a slow blow fuse rated for 0 (fuse dimensions: diameter 2 А . mm length mm, i.e. diameter / in - length 1 / in) . Please contact your authorized dealer with any questions about the 2 A fuse. Additional system safety is provided by a limitation of 68 V imposed on idle voltage between torch nozzle and workpiece metal unit housing in the absence of a direct arc.
