lation.

3.03 Power Supply location and Mounting

NOTE

It is recommended that the unit be secured to a

suitable surface using the mounting rails.

1. First choose an appropriate location for mounting the

power supply. Choose one that allows for free move-

ment of torch leads, complies with ventilation per

section 2.04 and provides a safe firm surface where

the unit can be secured.

2. Place the unit in the desired position and mark where

the four keyway holes

in the mounting

rails touch.

3. Remove the unit and using these markings, prepare

holes for mounting hardware.

4. Insert proper hardware. If using hardware that screws

into the mounting surface, leave all four loose enough

for the thickness of the rail to slide under the head and

washer if used.

5. Lower the power supply over the mounting hardware

and slide forward or backward until the keyway stops

against the mounting hardware.

6. Secure the hardware to the rail.

3.04 Opening the Contactor Cover

The input power cord is connected to the main contactor, the

contactor is located inside a box with a snap on cover. The cover

is held in place with two or more snap lock tabs. To remove

the cover release the front latch and tilt the cover up about ½

inch. Then squeeze both sides of the cover and lift it straight

up. See the Primary Input Power Connections section for the

necessary changes to the Contactor. Remember to replace the

Contactor Cover when the changes are complete.
