WARNING!

Do not operate this machine above its rated capacity.

WARNING!

The air supply must be free from oil, humidity, and other contaminants. Excessive oil and humidity may cause double arcs, quick

tip wear, or even complete torch failure. Contaminants may cause poor cutting performance and quick electrode wear. Optional

lters provide higher ltering capacity.

NOTE!

The IEC Classication is determined as specied by the International Electrotechnical Commission. These specications include

the output voltage calculation based on the equipment rated current. To allow easy comparison between pieces of equipment,

all manufacturers use this output voltage to establish the operation cycle.

4 INSTALLATION

4.1 General

The equipment must be installed by trained and qualiﬁed professionals.

WARNING!

This product was designed for industrial use. The user is responsible for taking the appropriate measures.

4.2 Environment

This equipment was designed for use in environments with higher risk of electric shock.

A. The examples of environments with higher risk of electric shock include:

1. Areas in which freedom of movement is restricted, and the operator is forced to work in a limited position

(on his knees, sitting down, or laying down) with physical contact with conductive parts.

2. Areas completely or partially limited by conductive elements and in which there is high risk of inevitable

or accidental operator contact.

B. Environments with higher risk of electric shock do not include areas in which conductive parts close to the

operator, which could cause elevated risk, have been insulated.

4.3 Workplace

To operate the equipment safely, ensure that the workplace:

40o C

✅

B.

E.

C.

4.4 Power grid requirements

The power grid voltage must be within ±10% of the rated power grid voltage. If the real power grid voltage is

outside this range, the welding current may change causing internal component failure and impaired equipment

performance.

The cutting machine must be:

■ Installed correctly, by a qualiﬁed electrician.

■ Grounded correctly (electrically) according to the local standards. Refer to Local and National Codes or

local authority having jurisdiction for proper wiring requirements.

■ Connected to the power grid with a duly speciﬁed fuse.

0-5584 13

WARNING!

All electrical work must be performed by a qualied expert electrician.

WARNING!

The grounding terminal is connected to the power supply body via the HandyPlasma plug. It must be connected to a grounding

point of the workplace electrical installation. Take care not to invert the input cable ground conductor (green/yellow cable) at

any of the main switch of circuit breaker phases, because this applies electrical voltage to the body.

NOTE!

Do not use the network neutral as ground.

All electrical connections must be ﬁrmly tightened in order to avoid risk of sparks, overheating, or circuit voltage

drop.

4.5 Power supply cables

NOTE!

The HandyPlasma equipment includes an appropriate input power cable to supply the 220~240 VAC single-phase input.

Customer is responsible for connecting the HandyPlasma to the appropriate voltage range from the grid. Attempting to plug in

voltage ABOVE this range will cause damage.

Figure 4.1 - HandyPlasma power supply

When the equipment input voltage is below the safe operation range, the Voltage Error Screens are displayed when

the cutting process is initiated.

If the power supply voltage exceeds the safe work voltage range continuously, the equipment service life may be

reduced.

4.6 Air connections

Air adapter assembly:

NOTE!

For a secure seal, apply thread sealant to the tting threads, according to manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use Teon tape as a

thread sealer, as small particles of the tape may break o and block the small air passages in the torch.

Using industrial compressed air in gas cylinders or a compressor

WARNING!

The cylinders must be equipped with adjustable high-pressure regulators, for output pressures of up to 6-8 bar and ows of at

least 110 LPM.

A compressor must be equipped with output pressure regulators of up to 6-8 bar and ows of at least 110 LPM.

When industrial compressed air in gas cylinders is used as gas supply:

1. Check the manufacturer’s speciﬁcations regarding the installation and maintenance procedures applied to high-

pressure gas regulators.

2. Inspect the cylinder valves to ensure that they are clean and free from oil, grease, or any other foreign materials.

Brieﬂy open each cylinder valve to blow any dust that may be present.

3. Connect the gas supply hose to the cylinder.
