R5/4000 CCCV6SECTION 3 — INSTALLATION3.1 Siting the R4000/R5000• Site the R4000/R5000 on a clean dry sur-face, preferable above ground level.• Make sure there is at least 20cm clearanceat the front, rear and right side of the ma-chine to allow good circulation of the cool-ing air.• Protect the machine from heavy rain and ifused in hot climates, against direct sunlight.• Ensure that the machine is positioned insuch a way that particles created by grind-ing and cutting operations do not enter themachine.Note! Damage caused by metal particles andwater entering the machine will not be cov-ered under warranty.3.2 Connecting to mains supplyWARNING! All electric shocks are potentiallyfatal, a competent electrician should carryout the fitting of the mains plug.• Make sure that the mains supply is of thecorrect voltage and current capability forthe machine.• Make sure that any extension cables usedare of sufficient current carrying capacity.• Make sure that the mains plug and socket(if fitted) are in good condition and are ofthe correct current carrying capacity. If themachine is wired directly to the mains sup-ply then an isolator switch must be fitted.Note! See the technical specifications page forcorrect supply informationPrimary cable lengthLong cable lengths may reduce the perform-ance of the machine, the welding arc maybecome unstable, especially at higher cur-rents. Ensure the mains cable is not coiled upduring welding as this will reduce the inputvoltage to the machine and may cause over-heating and degradation of the cable.3.3 Setting supply voltage tappingWARNING! All electric shocks are potentially fa-tal, a competent electrician should carry out anysupply voltage tapping adjustments required.• To enable the setting of the supply voltagetapping, the front panel display cover of theR4000/R5000 has to be removed.• The photograph below shows the voltage tap-ping set to 415V, with the red wire from thefuse holder connected to the 415 terminal.• This connector can be moved to the requiredvoltage terminal to select the desired inputvoltage.
