INTRODUCTION
Congratulations for your choice.
Our products have been designed, manufactured and tested to comply with the latest European Community requirements.
The arc welding power system, if used correctly, can be operated in very safe conditions while if the prescribed safety norms are not
observed it could cause serious damages to people and objects.

TO BE READ BEFORE USING THIS DEVICE
The following instructions should be read by all concerned before installing or using this device. In case of any doubt contact
your distributor or directly the producer to get all the informations that may be needed.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
1
The user is responsible for installing and using the welding equipment according to the manufacturers instructions. If
electromagnetic disturbances are detected then it shall be responsibility of the user of the welding equipment to resolve the
situation with the technical assistance of the manufacturer. In some cases this remedial action may be as simple as earthing the
welding circuit. In other cases it could involve constructing an electromagnetic screen enclosing the power source and the work
complete with associated input filters. In all cases electromagnetic disturbances must be reduced to the point where they are no
longer troublesome.
Note - The welding circuit may or may not be earthed for safety reasons. Changing the earthing arrangements should only be
authorized by a person who is competent to asses whether the changes increase the risk of injury, e.g. by allowing parallel
welding current return paths which may damage the earth circuits of other equipment.
Assessment of area
Before installing welding equipment the user shall make an assessment of potential electromagnetic problems in the
surrounding area. The following shall be taken into account:
a) Other supply cables, control cables, signaling and telephone cables above, below and adjacent to the welding equipment;
b) Radio and television transmitters and receivers;
c) Computer and other control equipment;
d) Safety critical equipment, e.g. guarding of industrial equipment;
e) The health of the people around, e.g. the use of pacemakers and hearing aids;
f) Equipment used for calibration or measurement;
g) The immunity of other equipment in the environment. The user shall ensure that other equipment being used in the
environment is compatible. This may require additional protection measures;
h) The time of the day that welding or other activities are to be carried out.
The size of the surrounding area to be considered will depend on the structure of the building and other activities that are taking
place. The surrounding area may extend beyond the boundaries of the premises.
