PROTECTION AGAINST RAYS AND BURNS
Warn of the danger to the eyes by hanging up a sign saying
"Caution! Do not look into flames!" in the work area. The work-
places must be shielded so that the persons in the vicinity are
protected. Unauthorised persons must be kept away from welding
work.
The walls in the immediate vicinity of fixed workplaces should
neither be bright coloured or shiny. Windows up to head height
must be protected to prevent rays from penetrating or reflecting
through them, e.g. by using suitable paint.
z EMC Device Classification
According to the standard IEC 60974-10, this is a welder in elec-
tromagnetic compatibility Class A. Class A devices are devices that
are suitable for use in all other areas except living areas and areas
that are directly connected to a low-voltage supply mains that (also)
supplies residential buildings. Class A devices must adhere to the
Class A limit values.
WARNING NOTICE: Class A devices are intended for use in
an industrial environment. Due to the power-related as well as the
radiated interference variables, difficulties might arise in ensuring
electromagnetic compatibility in other environments.
Even if the device complies with the emission limit values in accord-
ance with the standard, such devices can still cause electromagnetic
interference in sensitive systems and devices. The user is responsible for
faults caused by the arc while working, and the user must take suitable
protective measures. In doing so, the user must consider the following:
power cables, control, signal and telecommunication lines
–
computer and other microprocessor controlled devices
–
television, radio and other playback devices
–
electronic and electrical safety equipment
–
persons with cardiac pacemakers or hearing aids
–
measurement and calibration devices
–
noise immunity of other devices in the vicinity
–
the time of day at which the work is being done.
–
The following is recommended to reduce possible interference
radiation:
fit a mains filter to the mains connection
–
service the device regularly and keep it in good condition
