Precautions when Welding
- Some welding devices have high current flow and voltage peaks.
- It should be noted that components of the control system may be damaged if this welding current passes through the control module itself.
- When welding, care must be taken to avoid high currents going through the controller or CAN bus.
- Carefully follows these guidelines.
- Disconnect all connectors on the control unit before welding.
Even if the control system is de-energized, welding must be carried out carefully and with appropriate safety precautions. A welding ground must be connected near the welding point to prevent high currents from flowing over long distances through the machine frame.
