2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS

1. Once the packing has been opened, make sure that the machine is not

damaged. If in any doubt, call the service centre.

2. This equipment must only be used by qualified personnel.

3. During installation, any electric work must only be carried out by trained

personnel.

4. The machine must be used in a dry place with good ventilation.

5. Make sure that no metal dust can be drawn in by the fan inside the

machine, as this could cause damage to the electronic circuits.

6. It is prohibited to connect more than one INVERTER generator in series or

in parallel.

7. When installing the machine, follow the local regulations on safety.

8. The position of the machine must allow easy access by the operator to the

controls and connectors.

9. When the welding machine is operating, all its covers and doors must be

closed and well fixed.

10. Do not expose the welding machine to direct sunlight or to heavy

rain. This equipment conforms to protection rating IP23S.

11. During welding, the welding cables must be located near or at ground

level. They should be as short as possible.

12. The operator must wear gloves, clothes, shoes, and a helmet or a

welder’s helmet, which protect and are fire-resistant in order to protect him

against electric shock, flashes and sparks from welding.

13. The operator must protect his eyes with safety visor or mask

designed for welding, fitted with standard safety filters. He should also be

aware that during electrical welding ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION is

emitted. Therefore it is vital that his face is also protected from radiation.

Ultraviolet rays produce the same harmful effect as sun burning on

unprotected skin.

14. The operator is obliged to warn anyone near the welding area of the

risks that welding involves and to arrange to provide adequate protection

equipment.

15. It is very important to arrange for sufficient ventilation, especially

when welding in enclosed spaces. We suggest using suitable fume

extractors to prevent the risk of intoxication by fumes or gas generated by

the welding process.

16. The operator must ensure all flammable materials are removed from

the work area to avoid any risk of fire.

17. The operator must NEVER weld containers that have previously

contained petrol, lubricants, gas or similar flammable materials, even if the

container has been empty for a considerable time. THERE IS A VERY

HIGH RISK OF EXPLOSION.

18. The operator must be aware of all the special regulations which he

needs to conform to when welding in enclosed spaces with a high risk of

5/11

explosion.

19. To prevent electric shock, we strongly suggest the following rules:

20. Do not work in a damp or humid environment.

21. Do not use the welding machine if its cables are damaged in any

way.

22. Make sure that the earthing system of the electric equipment is

correctly connected and operational.

23. The operator must be insulated from the metal components

connected to the return wire.

24. The earthing of the piece being worked could increase the risk of

injury to the operator.

25. EN 60974-1 Standard: Open-circuit voltage. During the operation of

the machine, the highest voltage, with which it is possible to come into

contact, is the open-circuit voltage between the welding clamps. In our

generator this voltage is 63V.

26. The maximum open-circuit voltage of the welding machines is

established by national and international standards (EN 60974-1)

depending on the type of weld current to be used, on its waveform and on

the hazards arising from the work place. These values are not applicable

to the strike currents and those for stabilisation of the arc that could be

above it.

27. The open-circuit voltage, for as many adjustments as possible, must

never exceed the values relating to the various cases shown in the

following table:

ase

Working conditions

Open

circuit voltage

1 Places with increased risk of

electric shock

D current: 113V

2 Places without increased risk

of electric shock

80V effective

Torches held mechanically

with increased protection for

the operator

D current: 141V

peak value

A current: 141V

peak value and

100V effective

28. In case 1, the dc welding machines with rectifier must be built in such

a way that, in case of a fault developing in the rectifier (for example open

circuit, short circuit or lack of power), the permitted values cannot be

exceeded. The welding machines of this type can be marked with the

symbol:

29. Before opening the machine switch off the machine and disconnect

it from the power socket.

30. Only personnel authorised by this company can carry out

maintenance on the machine.

NOTE:

Device complies with IE 61000-3-12.

Working ambient temperature between -10 and +40 ° .

Relative humidity below 90% at +20 ° .

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY

The welding device is in terms of interference designed primarily for industrial

areas. It meets the requirements of EN 60974-10 class A and it isn’t designed

for using in residential areas, where the electrical energy is supplied by public

low-voltage power supply network. It can be here potential problems with

ensuring of electromagnetic compatibility in this areas, due to interference

caused by power lines as well as the radiated interference. During operation, the

device may be the source of interference.

aution

We warn users, that they are responsible for possible interference from

welding.

7. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION

1. The only routine maintenance required for the PAN range of machines is

a thorough cleaning and inspection, with the frequency depending on the

usage and the operating environment.

WARNING 

2. Disconnect the PAN 161 from the mains supply voltage before

disassembling.

3. Special maintenance is not necessary for the control unit parts in the

Welder. If these parts are damaged for any reason, replacement is

recommended.

AUTION 

Do not blow air into the welder during cleaning. Blowing air into the welder

can cause metal particles to interfere with sensitive electronic components

and cause damage to the welder.

10/11

ALFA IN a.s. © www.alfain.eu

4. To clean the welder, disconnect it from the mains supply voltage then open

the enclosure and use a vacuum cleaner to remove any accumulated dirt

and dust. The welder should also be wiped clean. If necessary, solvents

that are recommended for cleaning electrical apparatus may be used.

5. Troubleshooting and repairing of PAN 161 welding equipment should only

be carried out only by suitably qualified or competent person.

6. A ‘competent person’ must be a person who has acquired through training,

qualification or experience, or a combination of them, the knowledge and

skills enabling that person to safely carry out a risk assessment and repairs

to the electrical equipment in question.

7. The person carrying out the servicing needs and repairs must know what

to look at, what to look for and what to do.
