Before installation and commissioning
Safety
Proper use The power source may only be used for MIG/MAG, MMA and TIG welding. Any use above
and beyond this purpose is deemed improper. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for
any damage arising from such usage.
Proper use also includes:
- following all the information in the operating instructions
- carrying out all the specified inspection and servicing work
Setup regulations The device is tested to IP 23 protection, meaning:
- protection against penetration by solid foreign bodies with diameters > 12.5 mm (0.49
in.)
- protection against direct sprays of water at any angle up to 60° from the vertical
The device can be set up and operated outdoors in accordance with IP23. Avoid direct wet-
ting (e.g. from rain).
The venting duct is a very important safety feature. When choosing the installation location,
ensure that the cooling air can enter and exit unhindered through the air ducts on the front
and back of the device. Any electroconductive metallic dust (e.g. from grinding work) must
not be allowed to get sucked into the device.
Mains connection The devices are designed to run at the mains voltage specified on the rating plate. If your
version of the device does not come with mains cables and plugs ready-fitted, these must
be fitted in accordance with national regulations and standards. For details of fuse protec-
tion of the mains lead, please see the Technical Data.
WARNING! Operating the equipment incorrectly can cause serious injury and
damage. Do not use the functions described until you have thoroughly read and
understood the following documents:
- these operating instructions
- all the operating instructions for the system components, especially the safe-
ty rules
WARNING! If one of these devices topples over or falls it could cause serious or
even fatal injury. Place devices, upright consoles and trolleys on a solid, level sur-
face in such a way that they remain stable.
NOTE! Inadequately dimensioned electrical installations can cause serious dam-
age. The mains lead and its fuse must be dimensioned to suit the local power sup-
ply. The technical data shown on the rating plate applies.
Applies to TIME 5000 Digital power source:
The standard mains plug allows the user to operate with a mains voltage of up to
400 V. For mains voltages up to 460 V, fit an approved mains plug or install the
mains supply directly.
