1-3. California Proposition 65 Warnings
Welding or cutting equipment produces fumes or gases
which contain chemicals known to the State of California to
cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. (California
Health & Safety Code Section 25249.5 et seq.)
This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to
the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after use.
1-4. EMF Information
Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized electric
and magnetic fields (EMF). Welding current creates an EMF field
around the welding circuit and welding equipment. EMF fields may inter-
fere with some medical implants, e.g. pacemakers. Protective
measures for persons wearing medical implants have to be taken. For
example, restrict access for passers−by or conduct individual risk as-
sessment for welders. All welders should use the following procedures
in order to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them, or using a
cable cover.
2. Do not place your body between welding cables. Arrange cables
to one side and away from the operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.
4. Keep head and trunk as far away from the equipment in the
welding circuit as possible.
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as
possible.
6. Do not work next to, sit or lean on the welding power source.
7. Do not weld whilst carrying the welding power source or wire
feeder.
About Implanted Medical Devices:
Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the
device manufacturer before performing or going near arc welding, spot
welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations.
If cleared by your doctor, then following the above procedures is recom-
mended.

SECTION 2 − IP ADDRESS INFORMATION
7
2-1. Finding IP Addresses
The customer must know the range of specific IP addresses at the location where units are installed. This should be available from the customers IT
department. If the IP address range is known, the scan of the network will capture all Axcess E and Auto-Axcess E units in the upper left of the page
underneath the “Available Axcess E(s)”. This will be displayed by IP address and possibly a name, depending if the end user has named certain
machines.
If IP addresses are not known, the customer may go to each unit with a blank USB stick and capture the IP address of specific units. To start this process
the power source must be turned off . When the unit is off, insert the USB stick into the USB receptacle on the front of the Axcess E power source. During
unit power up an IP address is captured for both the A and B ports. The unit must go through the complete power up functions to capture these
addresses.
Figure 2-1. IP Address Range
Plug the USB stick into an open USB port on a computer and open the USB drive. The IP addresses of the one unit will be located in the IP_ADDR text
file. Open this file to retrieve the IP Addresses of the unit.
Figure 4-1. “IP_ADDR” Text File
265 886 Page 4
The IP address that will be used to connect via file manager is always, IP Port B = xx.xx.xxx.xx. This address is NOT the same between each unit. The
IP Port A = xx.xx.xxx.xx is used only when connecting a computer directly to port A on the power source.
. Factory default for Port A is 169.254.0.2
Figure 4-2. IP Addresses Of Axcess E USB Ports
If a specific IP address is known, the “Additional IP Addresses” function may be used. The IP address of Port B must be inserted into the “Additional IP
Addresses” to capture the configuration of the machine. This may also be used when a unit has an IP address out of the range of others captured. This
unit will be added to the “Available Axcess E(s)” menu in the upper left of the application.
. Once the application is closed all captured and used IP addresses of the Axccess E will be lost from the application.
Figure 4-3. Additional IP Addresses
265 886 Page 5
Axcess E power sources listed in the Available Axcess E(s) list box can be moved to and from the Target Axcess E(s) list box individually by using the
left/right arrow < > buttons. To move all units to and from the Target box use the double left/right arrow << >> buttons.
