Note:
1- The machine has also been designed for use in envi-
ronments with a pollution rating of 1. (See EC 60664).
2- This equipment complies with EC 61000-3-12 provided
that the maximum permissible system impedance ZMAX
is less than or equal to 0,137 (Art. 328) and 0,081 (Art.
335) at the interface point between the user's supply and
the public system. t is the responsibility of the installer or
user of the equipment to ensure, by consultation with the
distribution network operator if necessary, that the equip-
ment is connected only to a supply with maximum per-
missible system impedance ZMAX less than or equal to
0,137 (Art. 328) and 0,081 (Art. 335).
2.3 DESCRIPTION OF PROTECTIVE DEVICES
2.3.1 Thermal protection
This equipment is protected by a thermostat. When the
thermostat is tripped, the machine stops delivering cur-
rent but the fan continues to run. The yellow LED (B)
lights to indicate when it is tripped. Do not shut off the
welding machine until the LED has gone off.
3 INSTALLATION
Make sure that the supply voltage matches the voltage
indicated on the specifications plate of the welding
machine.
When mounting a plug, make sure it has an adequate
capacity, and that the yellow/green conductor of the
power supply cable is connected to the earth pin.
The capacity of the overload cutout switch or fuses
installed in series with the power supply must be equiv-
alent to the absorbed current 1 of the machine.
3.1. START-UP
Only skilled personnel should install the machine. All
connections must be carried out according to current
regulations, and in full observance of safety laws (regu-
lation CE 26-23 / EC-TS 62081).
3.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIP ENT
A) Setting knob
During A welding it adjusts the “hot-start” current
time , expressed in hundredths of a second; essentially, it
sets an overcurrent that serves to improve striking. t
does not make any adjustment during continuous TIG
welding.
n pulsed TIG welding, it adjusts the pulse frequency in
Hz.
During welding processes in which the knob is active,
the value of the adjustment is shown on the display I.
Two seconds after the last adjustment the display
returns to showing the figure previously selected using
the selector switch O.
B) Thermostat LED
(see 2.3.1. Thermal protection).
1.3 Disconnect input plug or power before working on
machine.
2 Breathing welding fumes can be hazardous to your
health.
2.1 Keep your head out of fumes.
2.2 Use forced ventilation or local exhaust to remove
fumes.
2.3 Use ventilating fan to remove fumes.
3 Welding sparks can cause explosion or fire.
3.1 Keep flammable materials away from welding.
3.2 Welding sparks can cause fires. Have a fire extinguish-
er nearby and have a watchperson ready to use it.
3.3 Do not weld on drums or any closed containers.
4 Arc rays can burn eyes and injure skin.
4.1 Wear hat and safety glasses. Use ear protection and
button shirt collar. Use welding helmet with correct
shade of filter. Wear complete body protection.
5 Become trained and read the instructions before
working on the machine or welding.
6 Do not remove or paint over (cover) label.
2 GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS
