2. TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION.
2.1. TRANSPORT AND PACKAGING
Knocks and sudden movements must be avoided when transporting the equipment. In any case, the
packaging must be protected from water.
HANDLE THE EQUIPMENT CAREFULLY, IT WILL LAST LONGER !
2.2. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY INSTALLATION.
The electrical installation of the equipment making up the system must be carried out by specialised
personnel according to the applicable standards.
The location must fulfill the following conditions:
Place: Dry and ventilated. Far enough away from the welding area in order to prevent the dust caused
-
by the welding process from getting into the equipment. Never work in the rain.
The distribution panel where the machine has to be connected must have the following elements, at
-
least:
DIFFERENTIAL SWITCH (ID): DIFFERENTIAL SWITCH (ID): Bi-polar or Tri-polar with a minimum sensitivity of 300 mA. The aim of this
DIFFERENTIAL SWITCH (ID): DIFFERENTIAL SWITCH (ID):
switch is to protect the personnel from direct or indirect contact with electrical parts under voltage. The
differential circuit breaker is selected in agreement with the Characteristics plate.
AUTOMATIC CIRCUIT BREAKER (IA): AUTOMATIC CIRCUIT BREAKER (IA): AUTOMATIC CIRCUIT BREAKER (IA): AUTOMATIC CIRCUIT BREAKER (IA): Bi-polar.
Characteristics plate.
The connection to the mains is made by the input hose. IMPORTANT! Verify that the wire is connected to a
plug with an efficient earth tap.
If you have special equipment, with power supply voltage other than 230 V, you will find the data for
defining the necessary electrical installation on the equipment characteristics plate.
Any supply voltage that is outside the rated margin gives rise to the activation of the protection system,
preventing the welding operation.

2.3. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION TO ELECTRICAL GENERATING SET.
The GALA TECH 2000 G.E. appliances are suitable for electrical installation to electrical generating set. These
appliances include a protection system, which continuously verifies the supply voltage, in such a way that
whenever this voltage is outside the admitted margins or is dangerously distorted, the equipment will protect
itself, by insulating the sensitive circuits of the network. Under these conditions, the equipment will remain
switched off or the amber coloured indicator, "E", will light up (see section 3). When the voltage is suitable
again, the appliance will be ready to operate.
For correct operation with electrical generating set the following minimum powers are required:
Welding with 2.5 mm coated electrode (I2=80 A): Single-phase set, P
Welding with 3.25 mm coated electrode (I
Welding with 4 mm coated electrode (I
