4.0 INSTALLATION OF THE EQUIPMENT
Proper operation of the generator is ensured by adequate installation. The
assembly of the inverter must be done by expert people, following the
instructions and in full respect of the safety standards.
-
Remove the welder from the carton box.
BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY ELECTRICAL CONNECTION CHECK THE DATA
PLATE AND MAKE SURE THAT THE INPUT VOLTAGE AND THE FREQUENCY
ARE THE SAME OF THE MAINS OUTLET TO BE USED.
-
To protect users the welding machines must be connected properly
to the earth (ground) system (INTERNATIONAL SAFETY REGULATIONS).
-
It is indispensable to earth (ground) the machine properly with the
yellow-green conductor of the power supply cable, in order to avoid
discharges due to accidental contacts with earthed objects.
-
The chassis (that is conductive) is electrically connected to the earth
conductor. Failure to earth the equipment correclty can cause electric
shocks dangerous to the users.
-
Plug the inverter to the mains.
DO NOT USE THE GENERATOR WITH INPUT CABLES' EXTENSIONS LONGER
THAN 10 m AND THINNER THAN 2.5 sqmm. REMEMBER TO KEEP THEM
LAYED AND NOT WOUND OR ENTANGLED. DO NOT USE THE WELDER WITH
THE SIDE PANELS PARTIALLY OR COMPLETELY REMOVED IN ORDER TO
AVOID ACCIDENTAL CONTACTS WITH INNER LIVE PARTS.
-
The inverter is now ready for use. Make sure you are welding in a properly ventilated
area and that the ventilation openings of the machine are not obstructed (poor air
ventilation may reduce the duty cycle of the unit and cuase damages). Now you
may choose the welding process by connecting the accessories as showed in the
following pages.
