Store the machine in a dry and clean environment and protect it from sand anddust during use and storage. The recommended operating temperature range is -20 °C – +40 °C.Place the machine in such a way that it does not come in contact with hot surfaces, sparks andspatters. Make sure the air flow in the machine is unrestricted.2.2 Positioning and location of the machinePlace the machine on a firm, dry and level surface. Where possible, do not allow dust or otherimpurities to enter the machines cooling air flow. Preferably site the machine above floor level;for example on a suitable carriage unit.Notes for positioning the machine• The surface inclination should not exceed 15 degrees.• Ensure the free circulation of the cooling air. There must be at least 20 cm of free space infront of and behind the machine for cooling air to circulate.• Protect the machine against heavy rain and direct sunshine.NOTE! The machine should not be operated in the rain as the protection class of the machine,IP23S, allows for outside preserving and storage only.NOTE! Never use a wet welding machine.NOTE! Never aim metallic grinding spray/sparks towards the equipment.2.3 Distribution networkAll regular electrical devices without special circuits generate harmonic currents intodistribution network. High rates of harmonic current may cause losses and disturbance tosome equipment.MinarcTig Evo 200 and MinarcTig Evo 200MLP complies with IEC 61000-3-12.2.4 Serial numberThe serial number of the unit is marked on the rating plate. The serial number makes itpossible to trace product manufacturing series. You might need the serial number whenplacing spare parts orders or when planning maintenance.MinarcTig Evo 200, 200MLP4
