Mains connec-
tion
The equipment is designed to run on the mains voltage given on the respective rating
plates.
The power source can be run as standard on a mains voltage of 230 V~ (+/- 15%). Thanks
to its +/-15% tolerance range, it can also be run on the 220 V~ or 240 V~ mains.

Safety
The power source is tested to “Degree of protection IP23”, meaning:
- Protection against penetration by solid foreign bodies with diameters larger than
12,5 mm (.49 in.)
- Protection against spraywater up to an angle of 60° to the upright
The welding machine can be set up and operated outdoors in accordance with IP23.
However, the built-in electrical components must be protected against direct wetting.
The venting duct is a very important safety feature. When choosing the machine location,
make sure that it is possible for the cooling air to enter and exit unhindered through the
louvers on the front and back of the machine. Any metallic dust from e.g. grinding-work
must not be allowed to get sucked into the machine.
The power source is intended to be used SOLELY for rod electrode and TIG welding.
Any other use, or any use going beyond the above, is deemed to be “not for the inten-
ded purpose” and the manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage resulting theref-
rom.
"Utilisation for the intended purpose" shall also be deemed to encompass:
- the observance of all instructions in the operating manual
- the carrying out of all prescribed inspection and maintenance work
