INSTALLATION/SETUP

TRANSMIG 250i

Manual 0-5187

3-1 INSTALLATION/SETUP

3.01 Environment

These units are designed for use in environments with

increased hazard of electric shock as outlined in AS

60974.1 and AS 1674.2. Note the Transmig 250i Plant Part

No. W1003250M (Asia Version) has the VRD turned OFF.

Additional safety precautions may be required when using

unit in an environment with increased hazard of electric

shock. Please refer to relevant local standards for further

information prior to using in such areas.
A. Examples of environments with increased hazard of

electric shock are:

1. In locations in which freedom of movement is

restricted, so that the operator is forced to perform

the work in a cramped (kneeling, sitting or lying)

position with physical contact with conductive

parts.

2. In locations which are fully or partially limited by

conductive elements, and in which there is a high

risk of unavoidable or accidental contact by the

operator.

3. In wet or damp hot locations where humidity

or perspiration considerably reduces the skin

resistance of the human body and the insulation

properties of accessories.

B. Environments with increased hazard of electric shock

do not include places where electrically conductive parts in

the near vicinity of the operator, which can cause increased

hazard, have been insulated.

3.02 Location

Be sure to locate the welder according to the following

guidelines:
A. In areas, free from moisture and dust.
B. Ambient temperature between 0° C to 40° C.
C. In areas, free from oil, steam and corrosive gases.
D. In areas, not subjected to abnormal vibration or shock.
E. In areas, not exposed to direct sunlight or rain.
F. Place at a distance of 300mm or more from walls or

similar that could restrict natural air flow for cooling.

SECTION 3: INSTALLATION OPERATION AND SETUP

G. The enclosure design of this power source meets the

requirements of IP23S as outlined in AS60529. This

provides adequate protection against solid objects

(greater than 12mm), and direct protection from verti-

cal drops. Under no circumstances should the unit be

operated or connected in a micro environment that will

exceed the stated conditions. For further information

please refer to AS 60529.

H. Precautions must be taken against the power source

toppling over. The power source must be located on

a suitable horizontal surface in the upright position

when in use.

WARNING

This equipment should be electrically

connected by a qualified electrician.

3.03 Ventilation

!

WARNING

Since the inhalation of welding fumes can

be harmful, ensure that the welding area is

effectively ventilated.

3.04 Mains Supply Voltage

Requirements

The Mains supply voltage

should be within ± 15% of the rated Mains supply volt-

age. Too low of a supply voltage may cause poor welding

performance or wirefeeder malfunction. Too high of a

supply voltage will cause components to overheat and

possibly fail.
