safety regulations
Setup regulations
Mains connection The equipment is designed to run on the mains voltage given on the respective rating
plates. If your version of the machine does not come with mains cables and plugs ready-
fitted, these must be fitted in accordance with national regulations and standards. The
fuse protection of the mains supply is described in the Technical Data.
NOTE! Inadequately dimensioned electrical installations can lead to serious

technical data shown on the rating plate shall apply.
General remarks
Utilisation in
accordance with
„intended purpo-
se“
The digital PlasmaModule 10 is intended to be used only in conjunction with a suitable
TIG power source and a suitable plasma torch (e.g. Fronius PTW 1500).
The following plasma welding processes can be carried out with the PlasmaModule 10:
- Soft plasma welding (sheet thicknesses from 0.4 - 3.0 mm / 0.02 - 0.12 in.)
- Plasma keyhole welding (sheet thicknesses from 3.0 - 10.0 mm / 0.12 - 0.39 in.)
- Plasma brazing
Utilisation for any other purpose, or in any other manner, shall be deemed to be „not in
accordance with the intended purpose“. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any
damage resulting from such improper use.
Utilisation in accordance with the „intended purpose“ also comprises
- following all the instructions in this manual
- performing all stipulated inspection and servicing work.
The machine is tested to “Degree of protection IP23”, meaning:
- Protection against penetration by solid foreign bodies with diameters > 12 mm (0.47 in.)
- protection against direct sprays of water up to 60° from the vertical
The machine can be set up and operated outdoors in accordance with IP23. However,
direct wetting (e.g. from rain) should be avoided.
The venting duct is a very important safety feature. When choosing the machine locati-
on, ensure that the cooling air can enter and exit unhindered through the air ducts on the
front and back of the machine. Electrically conductive metallic dust (from grinding work,
for example) must not be allowed to get sucked into the machine.
