for hot work and have a fire watcher and extinguisher nearby.  
D
Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while  
wearing an air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watch-  
person nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and  
lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breath-  
ing air is safe.  
FLYING METAL or DIRT can injure eyes.  
D
Welding, chipping, wire brushing, and grinding  
cause sparks and flying metal. As welds cool,  
they can throw off slag.  
D
D
Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying op-  
erations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form  
highly toxic and irritating gases.  
D
Wear approved safety glasses with side  
shields even under your welding helmet.  
Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or  
cadmiumplated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld  
area, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an air-supplied  
respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements  
can give off toxic fumes if welded.

rial (leather, heavy cotton, or wool) and foot protection.  
D
Wear approved ear protection if noise level is  
high.  
WELDING can cause fire or explosion.  
Welding on closed containers, such as tanks,  
drums, or pipes, can cause them to blow up. Sparks  
can fly off from the welding arc. The flying sparks, hot  
workpiece, and hot equipment can cause fires and  
CYLINDERS can explode if damaged.  
Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under high  
pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode. Since  
gas cylinders are normally part of the welding  
process, be sure to treat them carefully.  
burns. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause  
sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire. Check and be sure the area is  
safe before doing any welding.  
D
D

Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency  
Electric And Magnetic Fields  
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them, or using a  
cable cover.  
2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.  
3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.  
Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electro-  
magnetic fields. There has been and still is some concern about such  
fields. However, after examining more than 500 studies spanning 17  
years of research, a special blue ribbon committee of the National  
Research Council concluded that: “The body of evidence, in the  
committees judgment, has not demonstrated that exposure to power-  
frequency electric and magnetic fields is a human-health hazard.”  
However, studies are still going forth and evidence continues to be  
examined.Until the final conclusions of the research are reached, you  
may wish to minimize your exposure to electromagnetic fields when  
welding or cutting.  
4. Keep welding power source and cables as far away from opera-  
tor as practical.  
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as possi-  
ble.  
About Implanted Medical Devices:  
ImplantedMedical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the  
device manufacturer before performing or going near arc welding, spot  
welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations.  
If cleared by your doctor, then following the above procedures is recom-  
mended.  
To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following  
procedures:

LES FUMÉES ET LES GAZ peuvent être  
dangereux.  
Des étincelles et des matériaux chauds du soudage peuvent  
facilement passer dans d’autres zones en traversant de petites  
fissures et des ouvertures.  
Le soudage génère des fumées et des gaz. Leur  
inhalationpeut être dangereux pour votre santé.

D
D
Surveiller tout déclenchement d’incendie et tenir un extincteur à  
proximité.  
D
D
Eloigner votre tête des fumées. Ne pas respirer les fumées.  
À l’intérieur, ventiler la zone et/ou utiliser une ventilation forcée au  
niveau de l’arc pour l’évacuation des fumées et des gaz de soudage.  
Le soudage effectué sur un plafond, plancher, paroi ou séparation  
peut déclencher un incendie de l’autre côté.  
Ne pas effectuer le soudage sur des conteneurs fermés tels que  
des réservoirs, tambours, ou conduites, à moins qu’ils n’aient été  
préparés correctement conformément à AWS F4.1 (voir les nor-  
mes de sécurité).

consommables, les revêtements, les nettoyants et les dégrais-  
seurs.  
D
D
Ne soudez pas si l’air ambiant est chargé de particules, gaz, ou va-  
peurs inflammables (vapeur d’essence, par exemple).  
Brancher le câble de masse sur la pièce le plus près possible de la  
zone de soudage pour éviter le transport du courant sur une  
longue distance par des chemins inconnus éventuels en provo-  
quant des risques d’électrocution, d’étincelles et d’incendie.  
D
Travailler dans un espace fermé seulement s’il est bien ventilé ou  
en portant un respirateur à alimentation d’air. Demander toujours à  
un surveillant dûment formé de se tenir à proximité. Des fumées et  
des gaz de soudage peuvent déplacer l’air et abaisser le niveau  
d’oxygène provoquant des blessures ou des accidents mortels.  
S’assurer que l’air de respiration ne présente aucun danger.  
D
D
D
Ne pas utiliser le poste de soudage pour dégeler des conduites ge-  
lées.  
D
D
Ne pas souder dans des endroits situés à proximité d’opérations  
de dégraissage, de nettoyage ou de pulvérisation. La chaleur et  
les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir en présence de vapeurs et for-  
mer des gaz hautement toxiques et irritants.  
En cas de non utilisation, enlever la baguette d’électrode du porte-  
électrode ou couper le fil à la pointe de contact.  
Porter des vêtements de protection dépourvus d’huile tels que des  
gants en cuir, une chemise en matériau lourd, des pantalons sans  
revers, des chaussures hautes et un couvre chef.  
Ne pas souder des métaux munis d’un revêtement, tels que l’acier  
galvanisé, plaqué en plomb ou au cadmium à moins que le revête-  
ment n’ait été enlevé dans la zone de soudure, que l’endroit soit

champs magnétiques et électriques.  
1. Garder les câbles ensemble, les torsader, les scotcher, ou les  
recouvrir d’une housse.  
2. Disposer les câbles d’un côté et à distance de l’opérateur.  
3. Ne pas courber pas et ne pas entourer pas les câbles autour de  
votre corps.  
4. Garder le poste de soudage et les câbles le plus loin possible de  
vous.  
Le courant de soudage, pendant son passage dans les câbles de sou-  
dage, causera des champs électromagnétiques. Il y a eu et il y a encore  
un certain souci à propos de tels champs. Cependant, après avoir exa-  
miné plus de 500 études qui ont été faites pendant une période de  
recherche de 17 ans, un comité spécial ruban bleu du National  
Research Council a conclu : « L’accumulation de preuves, suivant le  
jugement du comité, n’a pas démontré que l’exposition aux champs  
magnétiqueset champs électriques à haute fréquence représente un  
risque à la santé humaine ». Toutefois, des études sont toujours en  
cours et les preuves continuent à être examinées. En attendant que les  
conclusions finales de la recherche soient établies, il vous serait  
souhaitablede réduire votre exposition aux champs électromagnéti-  
ques pendant le soudage ou le coupage.  
5. Connecter la pince sur la pièce aussi près que possible de la

En ce qui concerne les implants médicaux :  
Les porteurs d’implants doivent d’abord consulter leur médecin avant  
de s’approcher des opérations de soudage à l’arc, de soudage par  
points, de gougeage, du coupage plasma ou de chauffage par induc-  
tion. Si le médecin approuve, il est recommandé de suivre les  
procédures précédentes.

Duty Cycle is percentage of 10  
minutes that unit can weld at rated  
load without overheating.  
If unit overheats, thermostat(s)  
opens, output stops, and cooling  
fan runs. Wait fifteen minutes for  
unit to cool. Reduce amperage or  
duty cycle before welding.

Failure to follow these electrical service guide recommendations could create an electric shock or fire hazard. These recommenda-  
tions are for a dedicated branch circuit sized for the rated output and duty cycle of the welding power source.  
NOTICE − INCORRECT INPUT POWER can damage this welding power source. This welding power source requires a CONTINUOUS supply of  
input power at rated frequency(+10%) and voltage (+10%). Phase to ground voltage shall not exceed +10% of rated input voltage. Do not use a genera-  
tor with automatic idle device (that idles engine when no load is sensed) to supply input power to this welding power source.  
. Actual input voltage should not exceed 10% of indicated required input voltage. If actual input voltage is outside of this range, output may not

SECTION 5 − RECOMMENDED SETUP PROCEDURES  
5-1. Selecting Weld Cable Sizes*  
ARC WELDING can cause Electromagnetic Interference.  
To reduce possible interference, keep weld cables as short as possible, close together, and down low, such as on the floor.  
Locate welding operation 100 meters from any sensitive electronic equipment. Be sure this welding machine is installed  
and grounded according to this manual. If interference still occurs, the user must take extra measures such as moving  
the welding machine, using shielded cables, using line filters, or shielding the work area.

. In pulse welding applications using inverter power sources, peak currents can result in extreme voltage drops producing poor welding characteris-  
tics with undersized cables. A recommendation for weld cable size is a minimum of 2/0 for 300 ampere welding power sources and 4/0 for 450  
ampere welding power sources when total cable length is less than 100 ft (30m).

The electrode sense lead is contained  
in the feeder control cable and  
automatically becomes enabled for all  
semi-automatic processes. The work  
sense lead connects to the Axcess  
welding power source 4-pin connector  
located above the negative output  
terminal. This work sense lead  
automatically compensates for work  
cable voltage drop when connected to  
the welding power source.  
7
Better  
Do not coil excess cables. Use cables  
that are the appropriate length for the  
application.Whenever using long weld  
cables [longer than 50 ft (15 m)] try to  
arrange positive and negative weld  
cables together to reduce the magnetic  
field surrounding the cables. Avoid  
coupling the feeder and work sense  
leads with the weld cables.

Each welding power source should  
have a separate work cable connection  
to the workpiece. Do not stack or join  
work cables together at the workpiece.  
This is very important for pulse welding  
applications.

It is important to connect the voltage  
sensing lead as near to the weld as  
possible, but not in the return current  
path.  
6
Connect voltage sensing lead at the end  
of the weld joint.  
The direction of the welding path should  
be away from the work cable  
connections.  
4
Connect work clamp at the beginning of  
the weld joint.  
Each welding gun should have its own  
source of shielding gas. Use a separate  
shielding gas regulator and shielding  
gas connection for each welding gun.

7
Arc blow is the deflection of a welding  
arc from its normal path due to magnetic  
forces. It will adversely affect the  
appearanceof a weld, cause excessive  
spatter, and impair the quality of a weld.  
Arc blow occurs primarily during the  
welding of steel or ferromagnetic  
metals.Weld current will take the path of  
least resistance, but not always the  
most direct path through the workpiece  
to the work lead connection. The most  
intense magnet force will be around the  
arc due to a difference in resistance for  
the magnetic path in the base metal.  
The work clamp connection is important  
and should be placed at the starting  
point of a weld. It is recommended to  
have as short of an arc as possible so  
that there is less of an arc for the  
magnetic forces to control. Conditions  
affecting the magnetic force acting on  
the arc vary so widely that the reference  
here is only about cabling connections  
and arc preferences.

A. E-Stop Option  
The E-Stop option comes with a 2-pin amphenol receptacle, matching plug, and 30 ft (9 m) of high density molded cord  
to allow connecting the welding power source into an E-Stop circuit. An integrator will need to supply a closure for the  
non E-Stop condition.  
When the E-Stop input connection changes it state from closed to open, the welding power source goes into an E-Stop  
mode where all welding outputs shutdown immediately. Once the input connection returns to a closed state, the unit  
will start a reset routine and be ready for opeation when it completes the reset operation.  
B. DeviceNet Option  
The DeviceNet option provides hardware and software that allows the welding power source to be connected into a  
DeviceNet network.

fits provided by the RMD process are the ability to weld thin gauge material and use larger diameter welding wire on  
thin gauge material, improved gap filling, reduction of spatter, less heat input into the workpiece, and less distortion.  
The RMD process is a software option that is loaded into the welding power source.  
Contact factory for option details.

8-3. California Proposition 65 Warnings  
For Gasoline Engines:  
Welding or cutting equipment produces fumes or gases  
which contain chemicals known to the State of California to  
cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. (California  
Health & Safety Code Section 25249.5 et seq.)  
Engine exhaust contains chemicals known to the State of  
California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproduc-  
tive harm.  
For Diesel Engines:  
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead  
and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of  
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other  
reproductiveharm. Wash hands after handling.  
Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are  
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth  
defects, and other reproductive harm.  
8-4. EMF Information  
Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency  
Electric And Magnetic Fields  
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them, or using a  
cable cover.  
2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.  
3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.  
Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electro-  
magnetic fields. There has been and still is some concern about such  
fields. However, after examining more than 500 studies spanning 17  
years of research, a special blue ribbon committee of the National  
Research Council concluded that: “The body of evidence, in the  
committees judgment, has not demonstrated that exposure to power-  
frequency electric and magnetic fields is a human-health hazard.”  
However, studies are still going forth and evidence continues to be  
examined.Until the final conclusions of the research are reached, you  
may wish to minimize your exposure to electromagnetic fields when  
welding or cutting.  
4. Keep welding power source and cables as far away from opera-  
tor as practical.  
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as possi-  
ble.  
About Implanted Medical Devices:  
ImplantedMedical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the  
device manufacturer before performing or going near arc welding, spot  
welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations.  
If cleared by your doctor, then following the above procedures is recom-  
mended.  
To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following  
procedures:
