SHIELDING
The selective shielding of other cables and equipment present
in the surrounding area may reduce the problems due to inter-
ference. The shielding of the entire welding installation can be
taken in consideration for special applications.

1.5 IP Protection rating

Casing protection rating in compliance with EN 60529:
IP23S
- Casing protected against access to dangerous parts with fin-
gers and against solid foreign bodies with diameter greater
than/equal to 12.5 mm
- Casing protected against rain failing at 60°on the vertical line.
- Casing protected against harmful effects of water seeping in
when the moving parts of the equipment are not operating.

2 INSTALLATION

2.1 Lifting, transport and unloading procedures

Do not underestimate the weight of the equip-
ment: see technical specifications.
Do not move or position the suspended load
above persons or things.
Do not drop or exert undue pressure on the sy-
stem or individual unit.
The use of the handle for purposes of lifting is
prohibited.
The power source is supplied with an extendible belt which can
be used to move it in the hand or on the shoulder.
The manufacturer accepts no liability if the above prescrip-
tion is not duly observed and complied with at all times.

2.2 Positioning the power source

Keep to the following rules:
- Easy access to the equipment controls and connections
must be provided.
- Do not position the equipment in reduced spaces.
- Do not place the generator on surfaces with inclination
exceeding 10° with respect to the horizontal plane.

2.3 Positioning of bottles

- Compressed gas cylinders are dangerous; consult the supplier
before handling them.
Protect them from:
- direct exposure to sun rays;
- flames;
- sudden changes in temperature;
- very low temperatures.
Compressed gas cylinders must be fixed to the walls or to
other supports, in order to prevent them from falling.

2.4 Installing the apparatus

- Comply with the local safety regulations for the installation
and carry out the maintenance service of the machine
according to the constructor's directions.
- Any maintenance operation must be performed by qualified
personnel only.
- The connection (series or parallel) of the generators is prohi-
bited.
- Before operating inside the generator, disconnect the power
supply.
- Carry out the routine maintenance on the equipment.
- Make sure that the supply mains and the earthing are suffi-
cient and adequate.
- The earth cable must be connected as near the area to be
welded as possible.
- Before welding, check the condition of the electric cables and
of the torch, and if they are damaged repair or change them.
- Neither get on the material to be welded, nor lean against it.
- The operator must not touch two torches or two electrode
holders at the same time.
- Protect the system against driving rain and the sun.

2.5 Connection

2.5.1 Electric connection to the supply mains

The equipment is provided with a single electric connection with
a 5m cable positioned in the rear part of the power source.

2.5.2 Earthing

In order to protect users, the system must be correctly earthed.
The power supply voltage is provided with an earth lead (yellow
- green), which must be connected to a plug provided with
earth contact.
