EMF INFORMATION

The following is a quotation from the General Conclusions Section

of the U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment,

Biological

Effects of Power Frequency Electric & Magnetic Fields –

Background Paper

, OTA-BP-E-53 (Washington, DC: U.S.

Government Printing Office, May 1989): “. . . there is now a very

large volume of scientific findings based on experiments at the

cellularlevelandfromstudieswithanimalsandpeoplewhichclearly

establish that low frequency magnetic fields can interact with, and

produce changes in, biological systems. While most of this work is

of very high quality, the results are complex. Current scientific

understanding does not yet allow us to interpret the evidence in a

single coherent framework. Even more frustrating, it does not yet

allow us to draw definite conclusions about questions of possible

riskor toofferclear science-basedadvice onstrategies tominimize

or avoid potential risks.”

To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following

procedures:

1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them.

2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.

3. Do not coil or drape cables around the body.

4. Keep welding power source and cables as far away as

practical.

5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as

possible.

About Pacemakers:

The above procedures are among those also normally

recommended for pacemaker wearers. Consult your doctor for

complete information.

3-2. SHOCK SENSOR UNIT ASSEMBLY AND

INSTALLATION TO ROBOT (Figure 3-3 And

Figure 3-4)

WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

•

Do not touch live electrical parts.

•

Shut down robot and welding power source,

and disconnect input power employing lock-

out/tagging procedures before inspecting or

installing.

Lockout/tagging procedures consist of padlock-

ing line disconnect switch in open position, re-

moving fuses from fuse box, or shutting off and

red-tagging circuit breaker or other disconnect-

ing device.

MOVING PARTS can cause serious injury.

•

Keep away from moving parts.

HOT SURFACES can cause severe burns.

•

Allow cooling period before servicing.

To assemble and install the shock sensor unit, refer to

Figure 3-3 or Figure 3-4 and proceed as follows:

A. MRH2Models

1. Ifapplicable,removeexistinggun/torchandinsu-

lator plate from robot arm.

2. Install supplied insulator plate to robot arm with

screws removed in Step 1.

3. Assemble shock sensor, mounting bracket, and

torch clamp as shown in Figure 3-3.

4. Install shock sensor unit to the insulator plate

installed in Step 2 with supplied screws.

B. MRV2Models

1. If applicable, remove existing shock sensor from

robot arm.

2. Assemble shock sensor, mounting bracket, and

torch clamp as shown in Figure 3-4.

3. Install shock sensor unit to robot insulating block

with screws removed in Step 1.

3-3. HIGH-FREQUENCY PROTECTION FOR

TORCH CABLE

The Pilot mode switch on the WC 100B console pro-

vides a selection for the pilot arc mode of operation. If

plasma arc welding is performed with the switch in the

NORMAL position, the optional shield sleeving should

be installed on the torch cable.

The optional shield sleeving is for covering the torch

cable to prevent high frequency from interfering with ro-

bot operations.

IMPORTANT:

When installing shield sleeving, be sure

end with lead and attached ring terminal is at console

end of the torch cable.

To install shield sleeving, proceed as follows:

1. Unscrew sleeve from torch head assembly

(see Figure 3-5).

2. Disconnect fittings and remove torch head as-

sembly.

3. Insert torch cable into shield sleeving at end with

lead and attached ring terminal.

4. Slide shield sleeving over torch cable until end of

torch cable exits opposite end of shield sleeving.

5. Reconnect fittings from torch cable to torch head

assembly (match color-coded markings).

6. Checkforcoolantleaksatfittingsbyturningonre-

circulating coolant system. Tighten fittings if nec-

essary.

A. MRH2Models

1. If applicable, remove the existing wire feed mo-

tor/reed relay mounting bracket and stabilizer

brace from the robot (refer to robot Owner’s

Manual for bracket and brace locations). Rein-

stall the two lifting brackets only (see robot Own-

er’s Manual and Figure 3-10).

bot Owner’s Manual for instructions for absolute offset

adjustment. When doing this procedure, remove the

shield cup and tip from torch and install the supplied

brass tip gauge.

4. If applicable, remove the existing clamps sus-

pendedfromtheoutletcable support arm and re-

place them with the two supplied clamps. Route

torchcable throughnewclampsso thereisabout

3-1/2 ft. (1 m) of cable between the top of the

shock sensor and the first clamp (see

Figure 3-10).

5. Route torch cable through torch cable support

bracket tray and secure with rubber straps.

6. Route remaining end of torch cable to the WC

100Bweldingpanelfor internal connections (see

Step 3, Section 3-6B).

7. The supplied high frequency filter box prevents

noise interference at the shock sensor circuit in

the Robot Control. To install the filter, proceed as

follows:

Put on properly grounded wrist strap BE-

FORE handling circuit boards or making con-

nections inside Robot Control.

RobotControlsidepanelwherecoverplatewas

removed.

e. Place a supplied external star washer over

each screw, and thread screws into mounting

holes in side panel (see Figure 3-7).

f. Tighten screws until star washers flatten and

penetrate through paint into metal surface.

g. Place remaining star washers over threaded

portion of each screw extending out from side

panel inside Robot Control, and install nut on

each screw.

h. Tighten nuts until star washers flatten and

penetrate through paint into metal surface.

i. Reinstall and secure cover onto filter box.

j. Route high-frequency cord inside Robot Con-

trol to Interlock board on left side panel of cabi-

net.

k. Route black and white leads to terminal block

TB1 (see Figure 3-9).

l. Connect black lead to terminal 4 on TB1.

m. Connect white lead to terminal 5 on TB1.
