LocalNet active distributor, LocalNet extension Installation Instructions

Spare parts

The LocalNet active distributor is required if there are not enough LocalNet connection sockets on the welding machine or wirefeeder.

Three LocalNet connection sockets on the rear of the welding machine create the best conditions for the simultaneous operation of numerous system add-ons, e.g. ROB 3000, 4000, 5000, remote control units, etc.

Using temporarily connected LocalNet nodes, such as the RCU 4000 remote control unit, offers a significant advantage over the LocalNet passive distributor. Compared to the LocalNet passive distributor, individual connection sockets can remain unused on the LocalNet active distributor when the extra stations are no longer required.

NOTE!

If using the LocalNet active distributor, always connect external wire drives to the metal LocalNet connection socket.

WARNING!

Danger from incorrect operation and work that is not carried out properly.

This can result in serious personal injury and damage to property.

All the work and functions described in this document must only be carried out by technically trained and qualified personnel.

Read and understand this document in full.

Read and understand all safety rules and user documentation for this device and all system components.

WARNING!

Danger from electrical current.

This can result in serious personal injury and damage to property.

Before starting work, switch off all devices and components involved and disconnect them from the grid.

Secure all devices and components involved so they cannot be switched back on.

After opening the device, use a suitable measuring instrument to check that electrically charged components (such as capacitors) have been discharged.

CAUTION!

Danger of damage to electrical components from electrical discharge.

This can result in damage to property.

Suitable measures should be taken to protect against ESD when replacing and installing components.
