Electromagnetic Compatibility (Emc) - Lincoln Electric PRO-CUT 25 Bedienungsanleitung

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

This machine has been designed in accordance with all relative directives and norms.
However, it may still generate electromagnetic disturbances that can affect other systems
like telecommunications (telephone, radio, and television) or other safety systems. These
disturbances can cause safety problems in the affected systems. Read and understand this
section to eliminate or reduce the amount of electromagnetic disturbance generated by
this machine.
WARNING: This machine has been designed to operate in an industrial area. To
operate in a domestic area it is necessary to observe particular precautions to
eliminate possible electromagnetic disturbances. The operator must install and
operate this equipment as described in this manual. If any electromagnetic
disturbances are detected the operator must put in place corrective actions to eliminate
these disturbances with, if necessary, assistance from Lincoln Electric Italia. Do not modify
this machine without the written approval of Lincoln Electric Italia.
Before installing the machine, the operator must check the work area for any devices that
may malfunction because of electromagnetic disturbances. Consider the following.
• Input and output cables, control cables, and telephone cables that are in or adjacent to
the work area and the machine.
• Radio and/or television transmitters and receivers.
• Computers or computer controlled equipment.
• Safety and control equipment for industrial processes.
• Personal medical devices like pacemakers and hearing aids.
• Equipment for calibration and measurement.
• Check the electromagnetic immunity for equipment operating in or near the work area.
The operator must be sure that all equipment in the area is compatible. This may require
additional protection measures.
• The dimensions of the work area to consider will depend on the construction of the area
and other activities that are taking place.
Consider the following guidelines to reduce electromagnetic emissions from the machine.
• Connect the machine to the input supply according to this manual. If disturbances occur
if may be necessary to take additional precautions such as filtering the input supply.
• The output cables should be kept as short as possible and should be positioned together.
• If possible connect the work piece to ground in order to reduce the electromagnetic
emissions. The operator must check that connecting the work piece to ground does not
cause problems or unsafe operating conditions for personnel and equipment.
• Shielding of cables in the work area can reduce electromagnetic emissions. This may be
necessary for special applications.
