Description
MULTI-FUNCTION INVERTER WELDING POWER SOURCE
FOR MIG/MAG, MMA, and TIG WELDING
The DIX PI GO 2006.M / DIX PI GO 2006.M Puls series of mul-
ti-function welding power sources are characterised by cutting
edge, attractive design combined with latest generation invert-
er technology and digital welding control. Innovative, techno-
logically advanced, robust, and easy to use, they can be used
for very high quality MIG/MAG and Puls MIG welding for all
materials and especially stainless steel and aluminium, reduc-
ing repeat work due to spray to a minimum, using electrodes,
and in TIG with “Lift” type ignition, and they represent the best
solution for all industrial fields and all specialist welding pur-
poses that call for high precision and repeatable results. The
DIX PI GO 2006.M / DIX PI GO 2006.M Puls welding power
sources, fitted with the extraordinary DIX-ARC meet the needs
of those that wish to combine synergy with complete control of
all welding parameters.
These are systems open to the future evolution of technology -
the control software can be kept up to date with the latest ver-
sions with the help of a personal computer.
Operating features
The main feature of the welding units are:
• Metallic main structure with shockproof plastic front frame.
• Controls protected by a visor.
•
Exceptional characteristics for MIG/MAG, MMA, and TIG
welding with “Lift” type ignition.
•
Synergic digital control of all welding parameters, with the
following functions:
- Allows less expert operators to regulate all welding param-
eters in a user-friendly way and extremely easily, choos-
ing the type of program on the basis of the material, wire
diameter, and gas used.
- Innovative “DIX ARC” software for controlling all welding
parameters.
- BURN BACK control.At the end of each weld, in any con-
dition and with any material, the digital control ensures a
perfect wire cut, prevents the typical “wire globule” from
forming and ensures correct arc restriking.
- WSC Wire start control. This arc striking control device pre-
vents wire from sticking to the workpiece or torch nozzle
and ensures precise and smooth arc striking, particularly
when welding aluminium.
- Welding parameters that are controlled digitally by a micro-
processor, are monitored and modified in just a few sec-
onds, maintaining a consistently precise and stable arc as
the welding conditions continue to vary due to the move-
ment of the torch and the irregularities of the parts to be
welded.

Technical data
The general technical data of the system are summarized in
table 1.
Usage limits (IEC 60974-1)
The use of a welding power source is typically discontinuous,
in that it is made up of effective work periods (welding) and rest
periods (for the positioning of parts, the replacement of wire
and underflushing operations etc. This welding power source
is dimensioned to supply a I2max nominal current in complete
safety for a period of work of 35% of the total usage time. The
regulations in force establish the total usage time to be 10 min-
utes. The work cycle is considered to be 35% of this period
of time. Exceeding the work cycle allowed could cause a trip
switch to trip (for further information see the control panel man-
ual), which protects the components inside the welding power
source against dangerous overheating. After several minutes
the overheat cut-off rearms automatically and the welding pow-
er source is ready for use again.

Installation and connections
The installation site for the system must be carefully chosen
in order to ensure its satisfactory and safe use. The user is re-
sponsible for the installation and use of the system in accord-
ance with the producer’s instructions contained in this manual.
Before installing the system the user must take into consider-
ation the potential electromagnetic problems in the work area.
In particular, we suggest that you should avoid installing the
system close to:
• Signalling, control and telephone cables.
• Radio and television transmitters and receivers.
• Computers and control and measurement instruments.
• Security and protection instruments.
Persons fitted with pace-makers, hearing aids and similar weld-
ing power source must consult their doctor before going near a
welding power source in operation. The welding power source’s
installation environment must comply to the protection level of
the frame.
The welding unit is characterized by the following classes:
•
IP 23 S protection class indicates that the welding power
source can be used in both interior and exterior environ-
ments.
• The “S” usage class indicates that the welding power source
can be employed in environments with a high risk of electri-
cal shocks.
This system is cooled by means of the forced circulation of air,
and must therefore be placed in such a way that the air may
be easily sucked in and expelled through the apertures made
in the frame.
Assemble the system in the following way:
• Assemble the trolley.
• Fixing the cooling unit to the trolley.
•
Fixing of the welding power source to the trolley and the cool-
ing unit (electrical and plumbing connections).
• Connect up the welding power source to the mains.
•
Connect up the wire-feeder/generator interconnection cable.
• Connect up the welding cables.
Instructions for fitting the individual components / optional ex-
tras are contained in the relevant packaging.
Connection to the electrical supply
Connection of the welding power source to the user line
(electrical current) must be performed by qualified per-
sonnel.
Before connecting the welding power source to the mains
power supply, make sure that rated voltage and frequen-
cy correspond to those provided by the mains power sup-
ply and that the welding power source’s power switch is
turned to “O”.
Use the welding power source’s own plug to connect it up to
the main power supply. Proceed as follows if you have to re-
place the plug:
•
3 conducting wires are needed for connecting the welding
power source to the supply.
•
The fourth, which is YELLOW GREEN in colour is used for
making the “GROUND” connection.
Before connecting the welding power source to the mains
power supply, make sure that rated voltage and frequen-
cy correspond to those provided by the mains power sup-
ply and that the welding power source’s power switch is
turned to “O”.
Table 2 shows the capacity values that are recommended for
fuses in the line with delays.
NOTE: Any extensions to the power cable must be of a suita-
ble diameter, and absolutely not of a smaller diameter than the
special cable supplied with the welding power source.

Loading wire
• Fit the reel (diam. 300 mm) on the support so that the wire
unrolls clockwise, and center the projecting reference on the
support with the relative hold on the reel.
•
Thread the end of the wire into the back guide (Pos. 1, Fig.A)
on the drawing mechanism.
•
Lift up the idle rolls (Pos. 4, Fig. A) releasing the roll pres-
sure device (Pos. 2, Fig. A). Make sure that the drive rolls
(Pos. 7, Fig.A) have the diameter corresponding to the wire
being used stamped on the outside.
• Insert the wire into the central wire guide and the wire guide
on the centralised connection (Pos. 5, Fig. A) by a few cen-
timetres. Lower the idle roller holder arms, making sure that
the wire slots into the hollow in the motor’s roller. If neces-
sary, adjust the pressure between the rollers by turning the
relevant screw (Pos. 2, Fig. A). The correct pressure is the
minimum that does not allow the rollers to skid on the wire.
Excessive pressure will case deformation of the wire and tan-
gling on the entrance of the sheath; insufficient pressure can
cause irregular welding.
Assembly of drive rollers
Unscrew the two screws (Pos. 6, Fig. A). Lift up the idle roll-
holder arm (Pos. 3, Fig. A) and proceed as follows:
• Each roller shows the type of wire and diameter on the two
external sides.
•
Install the right rolls (Pos. 7, Fig.A) making sure the groove is
in the correct position for the diameter of the wire being used.

MIG/MAG / Puls MIG / DOUBLE Puls
MIG welding with SHIELD GAS
To begin MIG/MAG / Puls MIG / DOUBLE Puls MIG welding,
carry out the following tasks (with the welding power source
switched off).
1 - Connecting the cables (Fig. C1)
1) Connect the gas hose to the pressure reducer fitted on
the cylinder beforehand. Gas cylinders are supplied with
a pressure reducer to adjust pressure of the gas used for
welding.
2) Screw the torch to the centralised connection on the front
panel of the welding power source (Pos. 3, Fig.A).
3) Connect up the earthing system cable to the rapid cou-
pling marked by a - (negative) symbol and then the rel-
evant ground clamps to the piece being welded or to its
support in an area free from rust, paint and grease. Using
particularly long earthing cables reduces the voltage and
causes some problems from increased resistance and in-
ductance of the cables that could cause faulty welding. Fol-
low instructions to avoid these problems:
•
Use earthing and extension cables with appropriate sec-
tion.
• Lay out the cables as a flat as possible to prevent them
from coiling up.
4) Connect the reverse polarity cable to the positive terminal
(Fig. C2).
2 - Welding
1) Switch the welding power source on by moving the power
supply switch to I (Pos. 6, Fig. B).
2) Make the adjustments and do the parameter settings on the
control panel (for further information see the control panel
manual).
3) Load the wire using the torch button, after having removed
the wire guide nozzle from the torch to allow the wire to
come out freely, while loading (remember that the wire
guide nozzle must correspond to the diameter of the wire
used).
4) Open the tap on the cylinder slowly and adjust the reducer
knob to obtain a pressure of about 1,3 to 1,7 bar, and reg-
ulate the flow to a value between 14 and 20 lit/min to suit
the current used for welding.
5) The welding power source is ready to weld. Start welding
by moving close to the welding point and press the torch
button.
6) Once welding has been completed remove any slag, switch
off the welding power source (which is only to be done
when the fan is not running), and close the gas cylinder.

1 - Connecting the cables (Fig. D1)
1) Screw the torch to the centralised connection on the front
panel of the welding power source (Pos. 3, Fig.A).
2) Connect up the earthing system cable to the rapid cou-
pling marked by a + (positive) symbol and then the relevant
ground clamps to the piece being welded or to its support in
an area free from rust, paint and grease. Using particularly
long earthing cables reduces the voltage and causes some
problems from increased resistance and inductance of the
cables that could cause faulty welding. Follow instructions
to avoid these problems:
•
Use earthing and extension cables with appropriate sec-
tion.
• Lay out the cables as a flat as possible to prevent them
from coiling up.
3) Connect the reverse polarity cable to the negative terminal
(Fig. D2).

Spot welding
Welding can be done with or without gas.The substantial differ-
ence with MIG/MAG welding is essentially related to the torch
and the adjustments that must be made on the control panel.
• Depending on the torch chosen and the work to be done, a
gas guide nozzle can be fitted on the torch that is specifical-
ly for spot welding (see Fig. E).
• Use the control panel to select the spot-welding mode and,
if necessary, make the changes to the related “Special func-
tions - Fx” (for further information see the control panel manu-
al), which allows the welding power source to do this specific
type of welding.
To begin spot welding:
•
Place the gas guiding nozzle perpendicular on the workpiece
to be spot welded.
•
Press the torch button to start the welding current and wire
feed.
•
When the spot welding time expires (SPOT WELD TIME),
the wire feed stops automatically.
•
When the torch button is pushed again a new welding cy-
cle starts.
• Release the torch button.
FIG. E
Interval welding (Stitch)
The substantial differences with the spot welding mainly con-
cern the adjustments that must be carried on the welding pow-
er source.
Use the control panel to select the interval welding mode and
then make the changes to the related “Special functions - Fx”
(for further information see the control panel manual), which
allows the welding power source to do this specific type of
welding.
To begin interval welding:
•
Press the torch button to start the welding current and wire
feed.
• At this point the welding power source automatically carries
out a succession of welded portions (STITCH WELD TIME)
followed by a pause (STITCH WELD PAUSE), according to
the times entered previously. This procedure stops automati-
cally only when the TORCH BUTTON is released.
•
When the torch button is pushed again the torch begins a
new interval welding cycle.
Aluminium welding
To weld with aluminium wire proceed as follows:
• Replace the drive rolls with special ones for aluminium wire.
•
We recommend to use a torch set with a maximum lenght of
3 m and a capillary liner, e.g. DIX DSK 2-xx.
•
Set the pressure between the drive rollers at the minimum,
by turning the screw provided.
•
Use argon gas at a pressure of 1,3 - 1,7 bar and regulate
the flow to a value between 14 and 20 lit/min to suit the cur-
rent used for welding.
Electrode welding (MMA)
On the DIX PI GO 2006.M / DIX PI GO 2006.M Puls welding
power source, electrode welding is used to weld most metals
(different types of steel, etc.) using coated rutilic and basic elec-
trodes with diameters ranging from Ø 1.6 mm to Ø 6 mm, and
devices that the user can adjust for “Arc Force”, “Hot Start”, and
Anti-sticking functions to avoid the electrodes sticking.
1) Connecting the welding cables (Fig. F):
Disconnect the welding power source from the mains power
supply and connect the welding cables to the output termi-
nals (Positive and Negative) of the welding power source,
attaching them to the clamp and ground with the polarity
specified for the type of electrode being used (Fig.F). Al-
ways follow the electrode manufacturer’s instructions.The
welding cables must be as short as possible, they must be
near to one another, positioned at or near floor level. Do
not touch the electrode clamp and the ground clamp simul-
taneously.
2) Switch the welding power source on by moving the power
supply switch to I (Pos. 8, Fig. B).
3) Make the adjustments and do the parameter settings on the
control panel (for further information see the control panel
manual).
4) Carry out welding by moving the torch to the workpiece.
Strike the arc (press the electrode quickly against the met-
al and then lift it) to melt the electrode, the coating of which
forms a protective residue. Then continue welding at an in-
clination of about 60° compared with the metal in relation
to the direction of welding.
PART TO BE WELDED
The part to be welded must always be connected to ground
in order to reduce electromagnetic emission. Much attention
must be afforded so that the ground connection of the part to be
welded does not increase the risk of accident to the user or the
risk of damage to other electric welding power source. When
it is necessary to connect the part to be welded to ground, you
should make a direct connection between the part and the
ground shaft. In those countries in which such a connection
is not allowed, connect the part to be welded to ground using
suitable capacitors, in compliance with the national regulations.
FIG. F

WELDING PARAMETERS
Table 3 shows some general indications for the choice of elec-
trode, based on the thickness of the parts to be welded. The
values of current to use are shown in the table with the respec-
tive electrodes for the welding of common steels and low-grade
alloys. These data have no absolute value and are indicative
data only. For a precise choice follow the instructions provided
by the electrode manufacturer.
The current to be used depends on the welding positions and
the type of joint, and it increases according to the thickness and
dimensions of the part.
The current intensity to be used for the different types of weld-
ing, within the field of regulation shown in table 4 is:
• High for plane, frontal plane and vertical upwards welding.
• Medium for overhead welding.
•
Low for vertical downwards welding and for joining small pre-
heated pieces.
Afairly approximate indication of the average current to use in
the welding of electrodes for ordinary steel is given by the fol-
lowing formula: I = 50 × (Øe - 1)
Where:
I = intensity of the welding current
Øe = electrode diameter
Example:
For electrode diameter 4 mm
I = 50 × (4 - 1) = 50 × 3 = 150 A
TIG welding with “Lift”
In the TIG process welding is achieved by melting the two met-
al pieces to be joined, with the possible addition of material
from the outside, using an arc ignited by a tungsten electrode.
The “Lift” type ignition used in DIX PI GO 2006.M / DIX PI GO
2006.M Puls welding power sources makes it possible to re-
duce tungsten inclusions on ignition to a minimum. The molten
bath and the electrode are protected by and inert gas (for ex-
ample, Argon). This type of welding is used to weld thin sheet
metal or when elevated quality is required.
1) Connecting the welding cables (Fig. G):
• Connect one end of the gas hose to the gas connecter on
the TIG torch and the other end to the pressure reducer
on the inert gas cylinder (Argon or similar).

• With the welding power source switched off:
- Connect the ground cable to the snap-on connector
marked + (positive).
- Connect the relative ground clamp to the workpiece or
to the workpiece support in an area free of rust, paint,
grease, etc..
- Connect the TIG torch power cable to the snap-on con-
nector marked - (negative).
2) Switch the welding power source on by moving the power
supply switch to I (Pos. 8, Fig. B).
3) Make the adjustments and do the parameter settings on the
control panel (for further information see the control panel
manual).
4) Open the gas cylinder and regulate the flow by adjusting
the valve on the TIG torch by hand.
5) Ignite the electric arc by contact, using a decisive, quick
movement without dragging the tungsten electrode on the
piece to be welded (“Lift” type ignition).
6) The welding power source has a SWS “Smart Welding
Stop” system for the end of TIG welding.Lifting up the torch
without switching off the arc will introduce a slope down and
it will switch off automatically.
7) When you have finished welding remember to shut the
valve on the gas cylinder.
Table 5 shows the currents to use with the respective elec-
trodes for TIG DC welding. This input is not absolute but is for
your guidance only; read the electrode manufacturers’instruc-
tions for a specific choice. The diameter of the electrode to use
is directly proportional to the current being used for welding.

Maintenance
ATTENTION: Cut off the power supply to the welding power
source before effecting any internal inspection.
DIX PI GO 2006.M / DIX PI GO 2006.M Puls
IMPORTANT: For fully electronic welding power sources, re-
moving the dust by sucking it into the welding power source by
the fans, is of utmost importance.
In order to achieve correct functioning of the welding power
source, proceed as described:
•
Periodic removal of accumulations of dirt and dust inside the
welding power source using compressed air. Do not point
the jet of air directly at the electrical parts as this could dam-
age them.
•
Periodical inspection for worn cables or loose connections
that could cause overheating.
TORCH
The torch is subjected to high temperatures and is also stressed
by traction and torsion. We recommend not to twist the wire
and not to use the torch to pull the welding power source. As
a result of the above the torch will require frequent mainte-
nance such as:
• Cleaning welding splashes from the gas diffuser so that the
gas flows freely.
• Substitution of the contact point when the hole is deformed.
•
Cleaning of the wire guide liner using trichloroethylene or
specific solvents.
• Check of the insulation and connections of the power cable;
the connections must be in good electrical and mechanical
condition.
SPARE PARTS
Original spares have been specifically designed for our weld-
ing power source. The use of spares that are not original may
cause variations in the performance and reduce the safety lev-
el of the welding power source. We are not liable for damage
due to use of spare parts that are not original.
Optional
AIR AND/OR WATER COOLED UP/DOWN TORCH

1) When theTORCHTRIGGER is pushed the arc ignites and the
parameters assume the values for the “initial crater” for a time
set by means of the CRATER STARTTIME (F10) function.
After that the parameter values become those for “welding” for
a time defined by the CRATER STARTSLOPE (F11) function.
2) When the TORCHTRIGGER is released the parameters take
on the “final crater” values for a time set by means of the CRA-
TER END TIME (F15) function, for a period of time set using
the CRATER END SLOPE (F12) function.
CRATER 4T
4T LED ( ) switched on - CRATER LED ( ) switched on

■VRD LED
The Voltage Reduction Device (VRD) is a safety device that re-
duces voltage. It prevents voltages forming on the output termi-
nals that may pose a danger to people.
Two-tone LED (off - red - green) indicates enabling of the VRD. In
the welding process:
• MIG MAG (Synergic and Manual) / JOB: the VRD device is not
managed and therefore the LED always will be off.
•
MMA: the operator can decide whether or not to activate the
VRD device (to activate the VRD device see the corresponding
paragraph) based on its necessities and therefore the LED will
be lit and will indicate the activation of the device.
•
TIG Lift: the VRD device is always inserted, independently from
the state of the JUMPER and therefore the LED always will be lit.
■WELDING MODE SELECTION LED
When one or a combination of these LED is lit, it means that the
corresponding manner of welding has been selected.
Switching on the welding
machine and initial screen
At the switching on of the welder (press the switch, located on the
back panel, at the position I), the control performs a short operation
of MACHINE CHECK (all of the LED light themselves simultane-
ously so as to verify their actual operation), and the panel display
the INITIAL SCREEN (see the demonstrative figure), after which
the operator can begin to work.
Viewing the software version installed
1) When the welding machine is working hold down the WELD-
ING PROCESS SELECTION key (T2) and WELDING MODE
SELECTION key (T3) together for about 2 consecutive sec-
onds.
T2 T3
2) On both displays appears a running string that indicates the
VERSION OF THE SOFTWARE installed on the welder.
The rotation of one of the two ENCODER Knobs - A (E1) or
V (E2) by the operator during the display of the string version
software provokes the block (for 1second), on both the dis-
plays, of the movement of the string itself.

3) Ending viewing of the software version on the control panel
can come about in 2 different ways:
• Automatically: by waiting for the display time to elapse.
• Manually: by pushing any key.
Loading of the wire
In the MIG-MAG-PULSE-DOUBLE PULSE welding processes,
with the welder in operation, it is possible to load the wire inside
the torch, following this simple procedure:
• Keep the torch button held down.
• After a time of about 2 seconds, the wire begins to load itself at
a constant speed.
•
This operation is also indicated by a message made up of a nu-
merical value for the wire speed, followed by “LoAd” (see figure).
• Rotate the ENCODER - A (E1) knob to change the wire load-
ing speed.
• To finish the loading of the wire release the torch button.

Special functions “Fx”
To access the SPECIAL FUNCTIONS “Fx” menu, hold the SPE-
CIAL FUNCTIONS “Fx” key (T3) down for at least 3 consecutive
seconds. The Fx LED switches on.
T3
T > 3 s
The special functions allow the operator to regulate further param-
eters, operations and do partial resetting, and are operative, in a
different way, within each welding process.
Table 1 shows the special functions available. Details of the mean-
ing of the columns are as follows:
• FUNCTION column: name of the special function.
•
DISPLAY column: symbol for the special function (message
shown in the PARAMETERS DISPLAY -Ascreen).
•
FACTORY column: Factory setting for the special function (mes-
sage shown in the PARAMETERS DISPLAY - V screen).
• RANGE column: regulation field for the special function.
•
The last two groups of columns, WELDING PROCESS and
MIG-MAG WELDING MODE indicate the welding process and
mode in which the special function can be selected. Example:
the SPOT WELDTIME function can be selected only when one
is welding in synergistic MIG-MAG-PULSE or manual SPOT
2T mode.
1) Rotate the ENCODER - A knob (E1) to select the SPECIAL
FUNCTION required. Rotate the ENCODER - V knob (E2) to
edit the VALUE for the special function selected.
WARNING: Changes to values are immediately activated (no fur-
ther confirmation is required and they will be displayed immedi-
ately) or, at least they will become active the next time welding is
done. The operator can edit the functions (not the wire speed and
other parameters) when welding is underway and continue weld-
ing without having to exit the SPECIAL FUNCTIONS “Fx” menu.
