Requirements for service and maintenance access
Hypertherm recommends a minimum distance of 1 meter (3.3 feet) between the plasma power supply, the
cooler, and other system components, or between the plasma power supply, the cooler, and an obstacle.
Distance requirements for communications
Make sure that you keep the plasma power supply no more than a specified maximum distance from each
controlling communication device.

Wireless compliance
The plasma cutting system has integrated wireless devices that have certification for use in specified
countries.
Wireless devices use radio frequencies that may be regulated, but regulations differ from country to
country. Wireless devices that conform to IEEE standards 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n,
802.16e, and others, are designed for, or certified for use in, specific countries. Certificates of Radio
Frequency (RF) Compliance from wireless device manufacturers for wireless devices integrated into
Hypertherm products can be found at www.hypertherm.com/docs.
The user of Hypertherm products that have integrated wireless devices is responsible for making sure that
each wireless device has been certified for the country of use and configured with the correct selection
of frequency and channel for the country of use. Wireless devices that are integrated into Hypertherm
products are not allowed to be operated in countries where regulations for wireless device certification
have not been satisfied. Any wireless device or antennae modification or deviation from the permissible
configuration, markings, power, frequency settings, and other local regulations on radio frequency wireless
device for the country of use can be an infringement of national law.
