5Installation Area
5.1 General
IMPORTANT!
If the TS-1800 is going to be located in an area that is not on ground floor
level, you must ensure that the area has sufficient capacity for the
weight and physical dimensions of the machine.
The installation area should be free of sources of vibration and
electromagnetic interference that might affect the proper functioning of
the TS-1800.
Locate the TS-1800 in an area with a level floor, with a gradient of no
more than 0.5% (5mm per meter).
The floor should be stable and must be capable of bearing the weight of
the TS-1800. The minimum floor load specification is 235Kg/m2
(48lb/ft2).

6Electrical Requirements
The customer is responsible for ensuring that all tasks described in this
section are performed by qualified personnel.
6.1 Power
A stable, reliable source of power is necessary. Power to the TS-1800 is
supplied via a standard wall socket.
TS-1800 Power Rating
Total power consumption is 3KW. Power Supply:
220 to 240 VAC 50 to 60Hz, 15A, single phase. The wall outlet socket should
be your in-country standard.
Or:
220 to 240 VAC 50 to 60Hz, 15A, dual-phase, NEMA6-15 outlet for the USA or
any 110V power Grid.
If the power Grid cannot supply a minimum of 220V, the machine must be
connected using a Transformer.
Transformer Input 208V, 20Am, Transformer Output 220V-240V, 20Am
If the power at your facility does not support the above specifications,
contact your Twine representative.
6.2 Grounding
The TS-1800 is grounded through a single-phase, AC plug. Make sure that
the AC socket used is correctly grounded in accordance with local electrical
codes.
6.3 Circuit Breaker
A circuit breaker must be installed according to local regulation
requirements.
We recommend using a circuit breaker that is dedicated to the applicable
power socket.
An adjustable trip circuit breaker rated at 16A FLA (20A Trip) 240VAC, or 20A
fixed trip type may be used.
