SC2400 Setup and Installation
Initial Steps
Only qualified personnel should perform this installation.
♦ Turn the input power off at the disconnect switch or fuse box before working on the welder.
♦ Do not touch electrically hot parts.
This section provides detailed instructions for the proper installation of the TWE SC2400. It is
recommended that these instructions be followed carefully to allow for the best possible operat‐
ing environment.
Handling and Unpacking the Welder
Immediately upon receipt of the welder, inspect the shipment for any damage and notify the
carrier of such damage before accepting delivery. Then inspect welder for damage which may
have occurred in transit. After removing the components from the shipping container(s), check
the container for any loose parts. Remove all packing materials. Visually check all air passages of
power source for any packing materials that may obstruct airflow through the welder. If the
equipment is not being installed immediately, store it in a clean, dry, well‐ventilated area until in‐
stallation.
Selecting a Location
The location of the power source should be carefully selected to ensure satisfactory and depend‐
able service. Choose a location relatively close to a properly fused source of electrical power. Use
care against toppling over if the machine is placed on a tilted surface or plane. It is important that
the machine be located in an open area where air can circulate freely through the front and rear
openings. If space is at a premium, leave at least 1 foot (300 mm) of clearance between the rear
of the power source and wall or other obstruction.
Electrical Input Requirement
The welding power source is designed to be operated from three‐phase, 60Hertz, AC power sup‐
ply. Consult your local electrical utility if you have any questions on the electrical system at the
present installation site. The SC2400 should be operated from a separate, fused or circuit‐breaker
protected circuit.
