WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

Only qualified personnel should perform this installation.

Turn the input power OFF at the disconnect switch or fuse box

before working on this equipment. Turn off the input power to any other equipment connected to the welding system at the disconnect switch or fuse box before working on the equipment.

Do not touch electrically hot parts.

Always connect the V450-PRO grounding lug (located inside the reconnect input access door) to a proper safety (Earth) ground.

----------------------------------------------------------

SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION

Do not use the Invertec® in outdoor environments with- out appropriate protection. The V450-PRO power source should not be subjected to falling water, nor should any parts of it be submerged in water. Doing so may cause improper operation as well as pose a safe- ty hazard. The best practice is to keep the machine in a dry, sheltered area.

STACKING

V450-PRO machines can be stacked to a maximum of 3 high.

CAUTION

The bottom machine must always be placed on a firm, secure, level surface. There is a danger of machines toppling over if this precaution is not taken.

MACHINE GROUNDING

The frame of the welder must be grounded. A ground

terminal marked with the symbol is located inside the reconnect/input access door for this purpose. See your local and national electrical codes for proper grounding methods.

HIGH FREQUENCY PROTECTION

Locate the V450-PRO away from radio controlled machinery.

WARNING

Do not mount the V450-PRO over combustible sur- faces. Where there is a combustible surface direct- ly under stationary or fixed electrical equipment, that surface shall be covered with a steel plate at least .060" (1.6mm) thick, which shall extend not less than 5.90" (150mm) beyond the equipment on all sides.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Place the welder where clean cooling air can freely cir- culate in through the rear louvers and out through the case sides and bottom. Water, Dirt, dust, or any foreign material that can be drawn into the welder should be kept at a minimum. Failure to observe these precau- tions can result in excessive operating temperatures and nuisance shutdowns.

Machines are equipped with F.A.N. (fan as needed) cir- cuitry. The fan runs whenever the output is enabled, whether under loaded or open circuit conditions. The fan also runs for a period of time (approximately 5 min- utes) after the output is disabled, to ensure all compo- nents are properly cooled.

If desired, the F.A.N. feature can be disabled (causing the fan to run whenever the power source is on). To dis- able F.A.N., connect leads 444 and X3A together at the output of the solid state fan control relay, located on the back of the Control PC board enclosure. (See Wiring Diagram)

CAUTION

The normal operation of the V450-PRO may adversely affect the operation of RF controlled equipment, which may result in bodily injury or damage to the equipment.

INPUT CONNECTION

WARNING

Only a qualified electrician should connect the input leads to the V450-PRO. Connections should be made in accordance with all local and national electrical codes and the connection diagram locat- ed on the inside of the reconnect/input access door of the machine. Failure to do so may result in bodily injury or death.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use a three-phase supply line. A 1.75 inch (45 mm) diameter access hole for the input supply is located on the upper left case back next to the input access door. Connect L1, L2, L3 and ground according to the Input Supply Connection Diagram decal located on the inside of the input access door or refer to Figure A.1 on the following page.
