The VRD™ feature provides additional safety in the CC-
Stick mode. The VRD™ reduces the OCV (Open Circuit
Voltage) at the welding output terminals while not welding to
less than 35VDC.
The VRD™ requires that the welding cable connections be
kept in good electrical condition because poor connections
will contribute to poor starting. Having good electrical con-
nections also limits the possibility of other safety issues
such as heat-generated damage, burns and fires.
The machine is shipped with VRD™ “enabled”. The VRD™
function can be disabled or enabled via a dip switch on the
control P.C. board.
The control board and dip switch can be accessed by
removing the case top as shown in the %A6C2E:@?)64E:@?
figure B.3.

Place the welder where clean cooling air can freely
circulate in through the rear louvers and out through
the case sides. Dirt, dust, or any foreign material that
can be drawn into the welder should be kept at a mini-
mum. Failure to observe these precautions can result
in excessive operating temperatures and nuisance
shutdowns.

Both handles should be used when lifting the FLEX-
TEC™ 450 CE. When using a crane or overhead
device a lifting strap should be connected to both han-
dles. Do not attempt to lift the FLEXTEC™ 450 CE
with accessories attached to it.

The FLEXTEC™ 450 CE is IP23 rated for use in an
outdoor environment. The FLEXTEC™ 450 CE should
not be subjected to falling water during use nor should
any parts of it be submerged in water. Doing so may
cause improper operation as well as pose a safety
hazard. The best practice is to keep the machine in a
dry, sheltered area.

The frame of the welder must be grounded.
A ground terminal marked with the symbol
shown is located inside the reconnect/input
connection area for this purpose. See your local and
national electrical codes for proper grounding meth-
ods.

Locate the FLEXTEC™ 450 CE away from radio con-
trolled machinery. The normal operation of the FLEX-
TEC™ 450 CE may adversely affect the operation of
RF controlled equipment, which may result in bodily
injury or damage to the equipment.
