Duty cycle
The duty cycle refers to the time in per cent of a ten--minute per iod that you can
weld at a certain load without overloading the welding power source.
Enclosure class
The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i. e. the degree of protection against
penetration by solid objects or water. Equipment marked IP 23 is designed for
indoor and outdoor use.
Application class
The symbol indicates that the power source is designed for use in areas with
increased electrical hazard.
4 INSTALLATION
4.1 General
The installation is to be executed b y qualified personnel.
WARNING
This product is intended for industrial use. In a domestic environment this
product may cause radio interference. It is the user’s responsibility to take
adequate precautions.
4.2 Placing
Place the welding power source so as not to prevent the cooling air from circulating
through the machine.
WARNING -- TIPPING RISK!
Fasten the equipment -- particularly if the ground is uneven or slanting .
4.3 Mains voltage connection
The rating plate with connection data is placed at the rear of the power source.
S Make sure the welding power source is connected to the right mains voltage and
that it is properly fused. Connect to earth according to the regulations valid.

To avoid communication trouble the two end points of the CAN--bus should be fitted
with an end resistor.
One of the CAN--bus end points is in the programming box which has a built--in
resistor. T he other one is in the power source and should be fitted with an end
resistor if the output in question is not used. For the location of the resistor, see the

5.3 Cooling water circuit
S Connect the cooling water hoses of the welding tool
to the connections on the welding power source.
When welding with air--cooled welding tools,
interconnect the water hoses using the bridge
coupling supplied (see fig.).
S Before welding start, set switch (4) on the cooling
unit to position ON.
Note: The cooling water pump must always be set to
ON and the flowguard of the welding power source
must have detected the water flow to make welding
possible.
5.4 Overheating protection
Welding power source LTP 450 is provided with a thermal cut--out which trips in case
of too high temperature. The welding current is broken and an orange indicating
lamp on the front of the power source goes on. The programming box also shows an
error message. The thermal cut--out is reset automatically when the temperature has
gone down.
5.5 Flow guard, water
If there is no cooling water flowing, the flow guard will block the welding power
source. The welding current is then interrupted and an error message is displayed in
the character window of the programming unit.
5.6 Flow guard, gas
The flow guard breaks the ongoing welding process if the gas flow falls below 6
l/min. An error message is presented over the programming box.
5.7 Error messages
The welding power source has a built--in function for handling error messages. All
error messages are presented in the programming unit, and in some cases
measures will be taken automatically. See also programming manual 0456 638 xxx.

-- 7 3 --dpa7d1ea
6 MAINTENANCE
6.1 General
Note:
All warrantly undertakings given by the supplier cease to apply if the customer
attempts to rectify any faults on the machine during the warranty period.
6.2 Check--up and cleaning
Clean the welding power source once a year using dry compressed air (reduced
pressure). The dust filter should be cleaned regularly.
If the welding power source stands in a dirty and dusty place the cleaning shall take
place m ore frequently.
6.3 Filling of coolant
As coolant a mixture of 50% water and 50% glycol is recommended.
