INSTALLATION – PRODUCT OPERATION
Only qualied personnel authorized by the manufacturer should perform the installation of the welding equipment.
During set up, the operator must ensure that the machine is unplugged. Connecting generators in a series or a parallel
circuit is forbidden .
HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
These welding machines are Inverter technology based welding machines, portable, single phase, fan cooled, designed
for electrode welding (MMA) in direct current (DC). In MMA mode, these machines can weld all types of electrodes :
rutile, basic/low hydrogen, stainless and cast iron. In TIG mode, these machines can weld most metals except alumi-
nium and its alloys. They’re protected to work with generators (Alim 230 V +- 15% ou 400V +- 15% depending on the
reference).
POWER SUPPLY – STARTING UP
• The welders are tted with a 230V 16A socket type CEE7/7 which must be connected to a 230 V (50 - 60 Hz) power
supply WITH earth. Check that the power supply and its protection (fuse and/or circuit breaker) are compatible with
the current required by the machine. In some countries, it may be necessary to change the plug to allow the use at
maximum settings. Under intensive use, we recommend a 20A power supply for single phase models from 160A onward.
The user has to make sure that the plug can be reached.
• The device is switched on by pressing the « » button.
• The device turns into protection mode if the power supply tension is over 265V. To indicate this default, the screen
displays )
Normal operations resume once the power supply is back to its nominal range.
CONNECTION TO A GENERATOR
The machine can work with generators as long as the auxiliary power matches these requirements :
- The voltage must be AC, always set as specied, and the peak voltage below 400V,
- The frequency must be between 50 and 60 Hz.
It is imperative to check these requirements as several generators generate high voltage peaks that can damage these
machines.
ELECTRODE WELDING (MMA)
CONNECTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
• Connect the cables, electrode holder and earth clamp in the connectors,
• Respect the welding polarities and intensities indicated on the electrodes boxes,
• Remove the electrode from the electrode holder when the machine is not in use.
• Your machine has 3 features exclusive to Inverters :
- The Hot Start delivers overcurrent at the beginning of the welding.
- The Arc Force delivers overcurrent to prevent sticking when the electrode enters the welding pool.
- The Anti-Sticking technology allows you to easily unstick your electrode.
Activating the MMA mode and setting the intensity :
- Select the MMA mode (2) using the switch (5)
- Set the desired dintensity (display(1)) using the (4) keys.
