1) Valid for power sources without VRD specification on the rating plate.
2) Valid for power sources with VRD specification on the rating plate.The VRD function is explained in
the instructions for the control panel, if the panel has that function.
Mains supply, Ssc min
Minimum short circuit power on the network in accordance with IEC 61000-3-12
Duty cycle
The duty cycle refers to the time as a percentage of a ten-minute period that you can weld or cut at
a certain load without overloading. The duty cycle is valid for 40° C.
Enclosure class
The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i. e. the degree of protection against penetration by solid
objects or water. Equipment marked IP23 is designed for indoor and outdoor use.
Application class
The symbol indicates that the power source is designed for use in areas with increased
electrical hazard.
4 INSTALLATION
The installation must be executed by a professional.
Note
Mains supply requirements
High power equipment may, due to the primary current drawn from the mains supply, influence the
power quality of the grid. Therefore connection restrictions or requirements regarding the
maximum permissible mains impedance or the required minimum supply capacity at the interface
point to the public grid may apply for some types of equipment (see technical data). In this case it
is the responsibility of the installer or user of the equipment to ensure, by consultation with the
distrubution network operator if necessary, that the equipment may be connected.
4.2 Location
Position the welding power source such that its cooling air inlets and outlets are not
obstructed.
-8-
bc19d1ea
4.3 Mains power supply
Check that the welding power source is connected to the
correct mains power supply voltage, and that it is protected by
the correct fuse size. A protective earth connection must be
made in accordance with regulations.
Rating plate with supply connection data
5 OPERATION
General safety regulations for the handling of the equipment can be found on
page 4. Read through before you start using the equipment!
NOTE: When moving the equipment use intended handle. Never pull on the gun.
WARNING
Assure that the side panels are closed during operation.
WARNING
To prevent the reel from sliding off the hub: Lock the
reel in place by turning the red knob as shown on the
warning label attached next to the hub.
WARNING
Rotating parts can cause injury, take great care.

To check that the feed pressure is set correctly, you can feed out the wire against
an insulated object, e.g. a piece of wood.
When you hold the gun approx. 5 mm from the piece of wood (fig. 1) the feed
rollers should slip.
If you hold the gun approx. 50 mm from the piece of wood, the wire should be
fed out and bend (fig. 2).

5.6 Replacing and inserting wire
Open the side panel.
Disconnect the pressure sensor by folding it backwards, the pressure rollers
slide up.
Straighten out the new wire 10-20 cm. File away burrs and sharp edges from the
end of the wire before inserting it into the wire feed unit.
Make sure that the wire goes properly into the feed roller's track and into the
outlet nozzle and the wire guide.
Secure the pressure sensor.
Close the side panel.
5.7 Changing feed rollers
Open the side panel.
Disconnect the pressure sensor (1) by folding it
backwards, the pressure rollers slide up.
Disconnect the pressure rollers (2) by turning the
axle (3) 1/4 turn clockwise and pulling out the axle.
The pressure rollers disconnect.
Disconnect the feed rollers (4) by unscrewing the nuts
(5) and pulling out the rollers.
During installation, repeat the above in the reverse order.
6 MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is important for safe, reliable operation.
CAUTION
All guarantee undertakings from the supplier cease to apply if the customer himself
attempts any work in the product during the guarantee period in order to rectify any faults.

bc19d1ea
Wire feed unit
Check regularly that the wire feed unit is not clogged with dirt.
Cleaning and replacement of the wire feed unit mechanism's worn parts should
take place at regular intervals in order to achieve trouble-free wire feed. Note
that if pre-tensioning is set too hard, this can result in abnormal wear on the
pressure roller, feed roller and wire guide.
7 FAULT-TRACING
Try these recommended checks and inspections before sending for an authorised
service technician.
Type of fault Action
No arc. Check that the mains power supply switch is turned on.
Check that the welding current supply and return cables are
correctly connected.
Check that the correct current value is set.
The welding current is Check whether the overheating protection has operated (fault
interrupted during welding. code E6 is displayed on the control panel).
Check the mains power supply fuses.
The overheating protection trips Make sure that you are not exceeding the rated data for the
frequently. welding power source (i.e. that the unit is not being
overloaded).
Poor welding performance. Check that the welding current supply and return cables are
correctly connected.
Check that the correct current value is set.
Check that the correct wire is being used.
Check the mains power supply fuses.
