Specifications

Transtig 200Pi, 250Pi, 300Pi

In addition to the above tests and specifically in relation to the VRD fitted to this machine, the

following periodic tests should also be conducted by an accredited CIGWELD service agent.

Description AS3195 & IEC 60974-1 Requirements

VRD Open Circuit Voltage Less than 20V; at Vin=240V or 415V

VRD Turn ON Resistance Less than 200 ohms

VRD Turn OFF Time Less than 0.3 seconds

If this equipment is used in a hazardous location or environments with a high risk of electrocution

then the above tests should be carried out prior to entering this location.

8. Installation Recommendations

8.1 Environment

The Transtig 200Pi, 250Pi, 300Pi is designed for use in hazardous environments when the VRD is

TURNED ON.

a) Examples of environments with increased hazardous environments are -

i) In locations in which freedom of movement is restricted, so that the operator is

forced to perform the work in a cramped (kneeling, sitting or lying) position with

physical contact with conductive parts;

ii) In locations which are fully or partially limited by conductive elements, and in which

there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact by the operator, or

iii) In wet or damp hot locations where humidity or perspiration considerable reduces the

skin resistance of the human body and the insulation properties of accessories.

b) Environments with hazardous environments do not include places where electrically

conductive parts in the near vicinity of the operator, which can cause increased hazard,

have been insulated.

8.2 Location

Be sure to locate the welder according to the following guidelines:

a) In areas, free from moisture and dust. b) Ambient temperature between 0°C to 40°C.

c) In areas, free from oil, steam and

corrosive gases.

d) In areas, not subjected to abnormal vibration

or shock.

e) In areas, not exposed to direct sunlight

or rain.

f) Place at a distance of 300mm or more from

walls or similar that could restrict natural air

flow for cooling.

8.3 Ventilation

Since the inhalation of welding fumes can be harmful, ensure that the welding area is effectively

ventilated.

8.4 Mains Supply Voltage Requirements

The Mains supply voltage should be within ± 10% of the rated Mains supply voltage. Too low a

voltage may cause the fuse or circuit breaker to rupture due to the increased primary current. Too

high a supply voltage will cause the Power Source components to fail.
