LOCATING THE EQUIPMENT
The system should be installed in proximity to the electrical source, and it is supplied with an 8 Ft power cord.
The area should be free from excessive dust, dirt, corrosive fumes and extremes of temperature and humidity.
Allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) in back of each unit for cabling convenience.
All welding press models should be placed on a sturdy level bench capable of supporting a minimum of 500
pounds (227 kg).
The power supply and motor controller should be located so that the front panel controls are visible and
accessible. Sufficient space should be allotted around the unit to ensure adequate ventilation. If the power
supply and motor controller must be housed in a confined space, forced air-cooling may be necessary to keep
the surrounding air within acceptable ambient temperature. Periodically check the ventilation grille and clean if
necessary. The distance between the welding press and motor controls should not exceed 9 feet (3m).
PREPARATION FOR USE - CONNECTIONS
Connect the power supply and press in accordance with the following procedure. See section 4.0 starting on
page 11 for additional information and a connection diagram.
1. Using cables provided, connect the power supply to the press. Do not strain or kink the cables. When
going around corners, allow as wide a bend as possible. Do not run the cables parallel to any power line
within a distance of less than 1 foot (30 cm).
2. Plug the power supply line cords into the electrical outlets. To prevent the possibility of an electrical
shock, ensure that the line cords are properly grounded.
