SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
or electrode with skin or wet clothing.
• Insulate yourself from work and ground.
• Always wear dry insulating gloves.
SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION
This power source should not be subjected to rain, 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, sheltered area.
CAUTION
The bottom of machine must always be placed on a firm,
secure, level surface. There is a danger of the machine
toppling over if this precaution is not taken.
Place the welder where clean cooling air can freely circulate in
through the front louvers and out through the rear side. Water,dirt,
dust or any foreign material that can be drawn into the welder
should be kept to a minimum. Failure to observe these precautions
can result in excessive operating temperatures and nuisance
shutdowns. Locate the machine away from radio controlled
machinery. Normal operation of the welder may adversely affect
the operation of RF controlled equipment, which may result in
bodily injury or damage to the equipment.
INSTALLATION
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK
can kill.
• Only qualified personnel should
perform this installation.
• Turn the input power OFF at the
main switch or fuse box before
working on this equipment.
• Do not touch electrically live parts
FUMES AND GASES
can be dangerous.
• Keep your head out of fumes.
• Use ventilation or exhaust to
remove fumes from breathing zone.
WELDING SPARKS
can cause fire or explosion.
• Keep flammable material away.
• Do not weld on closed containers.
INPUT CONNECTIONS
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Have a qualified electrician install and service this equipment.
• Disconnect input power by removing plug from receptacle
before working inside machines. Allow machine to sit for 5
minutes minimum to allow the power capacitors to discharge
before working inside this equipment.
• Do not touch electrically live parts.
INPUT POWER CONNECTION
Check the input voltage, phase, and frequency supplied to this
machine before turning it on. The allowable input voltage is
indicated in the technical specification section of this manual and
on the rating plate of the machine. Be sure that the machine is
grounded.
INPUT VOLTAGE
®
The arcweld 130i-ST (120V~), arcweld
®
230V~), arcweld 160i-ST DV, arcweld
®
the arcweld 200i-ST DV work with a 120V~/230V~ (±10%) input
voltage, 50/60Hz, it will auto connect to either 120V~ or 230V~
suppliers without changing the inside connection.
An output guide is provided in the technical specification section
of this manual.
ENGINE DRIVEN GENERATOR
The machine is designed to operate on engine driven generators
as long as the generator can supply adequate voltage, frequency
and power as indicated in the "Technical Specification" Installation
Section of this manual. The auxiliary supply of the generator must
also meet the following conditions:
Frequency: in the range of 50 Hz and 60 Hz
RMS voltage of the AC waveform:120V~ or 230V~ ±10%. (Input
voltage depends of the model).
It is important to check these conditions because many engine
driven generators produce high voltage spikes. Operation of this
machine with engine driven generators not conforming to these
conditions is not recommend and may damage the machine.
