4 Start-up
The start-up procedures for the POWER-CLAMP shrink fit machine are described in the respective
sequence of actions required. The operation of the device is relatively simple. You should be familiar
with the device before working with it, however.
Incorrect operation can cause dangers to the user and the device, in particular, the shrink
fit chuck could overheat.
Please note as well the safety instructions at the beginning of these instructions!
4.1 Electrical connection
POWER CLAMP or SPEED-COOLER are supplied from the factory with plugs fitted, and these have
been designed to meet the relevant power and safety requirements.
If these plugs do not comply with the local power supply or legal stipulations of the country of the
user, then they must be replaced by other plugs that have been approved.
Important: This work should only be done by a skilled electrician.
The user is responsible for ensuring that the relevant local safety regulations are complied
with.
Points to be noted especially:
• Voltage and current loading
• Mains fusing
• Use plugs with an advanced protective earth contact, otherwise additional grounding is required.
• If changes are made the CE conformity may be rendered invalid.
• For preference use CEE standard approved plugs that are suitable for the nominal voltage range
values stated in the rating plate.
The shrink fit unit can generate an increased leakage current due to a built-in mains filter. For tech-
nical reasons the mains filter is connected before the main switch directly to the power
supply cable.
For that reason note the following:
• The connection of the protective earth conductor (PE) must be done properly to ensure
safe operation. Have it checked by a skilled electrician to ensure that it functions properly
before starting it up for the first time.
A connecting screw is provided on the device housing to connect an additional protective earth
conductor or to provide equipotential bonding.
• If using residual current operated devices (RCD) choose a type with a short delay.
• Switching the supplied power on the mains side (before the mains filter) can lead to current
peaks and feedback (transients) and so trigger the mains fuses.
If it is necessary to have a main switch on the mains side before the mains filter, then special
protection to switch capacitances should be used.
