1. Safety precautions

Before installing, adjusting and operating machine, it shall ensure to learn all
safety regulations.
Although all safety performances have been evaluated during design and
production, still be sure to observe safety regulations because welding operation
involves in high voltage, electric arc, smoke dust, poisonous gas, metal dust and
splashing.

1.1 Description of safety signs

Warning sign shows sudden injury possibly occurs. Linked signs indicate injuries
possibly occur.
This group of signs indicates: be careful of
danger like personal injury caused by electric
shock, movable components and hot objects.
Please refer to safety signs and corresponding safety regulations to avoid injury.

1.2 Safety signs

Following safety signs used in this manual intend to remind the danger to catch attention.
When you see safety signs, you shall be careful and observe corresponding safety regulations to
avoid injury.
Only professionals can adjust, maintain, care and repair this machine.
During maintenance, other unconcerned persons, especially for children, shall be far away
from it.

Injury caused by electric shock


  Do not touch components with voltage.
  Turn off the switch of machine and use breaker and cut off switch to shut off
the power or pull out of wiring plug.
  During operation, stand on dry insulation cushion so that operator self is
insulated from the ground. Wear dry insulated gloves. Please not use wet or
damaged gloves.
  If it requires operating the machine under the voltage, only professionals

familiar with safety regulations can operate it.


  During inspecting the machine under the voltage, it shall observe regulation
of “one-hand operation”. Do not stretch your hands into the machine. It shall
keep the other hand outside of machine.
  Before moving the machine, it shall cut off the power.
  If it requires opening the housing, please cut off the power firstly and wait
for at least one minute and carry out operation.
  Be sure to use the cables whose the cross section is more than that of input
end to ground the housing reliably.
After the power of inverter welding machine is cut off, there is still DC
high voltage.
  Before touching components, please turn off the inverter welding machine,
cut off the power and discharge capacitance according to regulations related to
part 7: maintenance.

Static electricity damages circuit board

1.3 Electromagnetic field

Pay attention to influence of welding and low frequency electromagnetic field. When
welding current is through cable, electromagnetic field is produced. International blue-collar
committee cannot still judge exposing to power electromagnetic field will harm personal health
after research of more than 500 cases in past 17 years. But it still keeps on research. Before
drawing final conclusion, it had better reduce the time of exposing to this electromagnetic field
during welding and cutting.
It shall use following methods to reduce electromagnetic field at job site:
1. Centralize cable as far as possible not to scatter it by wrapping or binding tapes;
2. During routing, lay cable on the side that is far away from operators as far as possible;
3. Do not wind cable on the body or drop it from the body;
4. Welding power and cable are far away from operators as far as possible;
5. The ground clip is clamped on the place that is near the welding point as far as possible.

About cardiac pacemaker:


Operators of cardiac pacemaker shall consult with the doctor firstly. If doctor considers it is
harmless, it suggests observing above methods to reduce the influence of electromagnetic field.

1.4 Electromagnetic compatibility

This welding machine meets the requirements of the electromagnetic


compatibility in GB15579.10 and IEC.
This welding machine is the A-class machine and not applicable for the
resident environment where the power is provided by the public low-voltage
power supply system. Because of the conduction and radiation harassment, the
electromagnetic compatibility is difficult to be ensured.
This welding machine does not meet the requirements in IEC61000-3-12. If it
requires connecting this welding machine with the public low-voltage power
supply system, the installers or users of this welding machine shall contact with
Electric Power Company (if necessary) to confirm that this welding machine can be
connected.
1.4.1 Environmental assessment
Before installing the arc welding equipment, the users shall assess the potential
problem of the electromagnetic harassment in the ambient environment. The matters

5
Operation instruction of TDN 5000 MAG/MIG/CO2 power source Safety precautions

to be considered are as follows:


a) Other power supply cables, control cables, signal & telephone wires and
others around the arc welding equipment;
b)Radio and TV transmitting and receiving equipment;
c) Computer and other control devices;
d)Critical safety equipment, for example, the security monitoring equipment in
the industrial equipment;
e) The health of the operators around the above equipment, for example, if there
are the persons with the hearing aids and the cardiac pacemaker;
f) The equipment used for the calibration or detection;
g)Pay attention to the noise immunity the other surrounding equipment; the
users shall ensure that the other surrounding equipment is compatible each
other, which may require additional protective measures;
h)The welding time or other activities’ execution time in one day;
The considered environmental field depends on the structure of the building and
other activities that are possible to be carried out. This field is possible to be beyond
the building itself.
1.4.2 The method to reduce the emission
1.4.2.1 Public power supply system
The arc welding equipment shall be connected into the public power supply
system according to the method recommended in this operation instruction. If the
interference occurs, the additional preventive measures shall be taken, for example,
the filter of the public power supply system. For the arc welding equipment that is
installed fixedly, the problem that its power cable is shielded shall be considered by
using the metal conduit or other equivalent methods. The electrical continuity shall be
maintained after being shielded. The shielding layer shall be connected with the
housing of the welding power to ensure good electrical contact.
1.4.2.2 Maintenance of arc welding equipment
The arc welding equipment shall be maintained regularly according to the
recommendation in this operation instruction. When the arc welding equipment runs,
it shall close tightly all ports, the access doors and the covers. The arc welding
equipment shall not be changed in any form unless the appropriate change and
adjustment are allowed in this operation instruction. Especially for the gap of the
spark plug on the arc striking and stabilizing devices, it shall be adjusted and
maintained according to the method specified in this operation instruction.

6
Operation instruction of TDN 5000 MAG/MIG/CO2 power source Safety precautions

1.4.2.3 Welding cable


The welding cable shall be kept as short as possible and close to each other, abut
against or cling to the ground.
1.4.2.4 Equipotential lapping
The lapping problem of all metal objects in the ambient environment shall be
noticed. When the metal objects are lapped with the work pieces, the risk of the work
will be increased so that the operators may be subjected to the electric shock if they
touch these metal objects and electrodes at the same time. The operators shall be
insulated from the metal objects.
1.4.2.5 The grounding of the work piece
For the reasons like the safe power utilization or the positions, sizes and others of
the work pieces, the work pieces may not be grounded, for example, the hull or the
structural steel-frame. When the work piece is grounded, sometimes, the emission will
be reduced, but not always. Therefore, we must prevent that the risk that the users are
subjected to the electric shock is increased and other electrical equipment is damaged
because the work piece is grounded. If necessary, the work piece shall be connected
directly with the ground, however, the direct connection is not allowed in some
countries and the work piece is connected with the ground only by the selected proper
capacitance according to the regulations in local country.
1.4.2.6 Shielding
The surrounding equipment and other cables are shielded selectively so as to
reduce the electromagnetic interference. In special applications, shielding the whole
welding zone can be considered.

6.6 Description of operation mode

When the gas-shielded arc welding function is used for welding, TDN 5000 arc
welding power offers four welding control modes for selection, as the following
table shows:
Symbol Welding control mode Symbol Welding control mode
