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.

4.2 Location
Position the welding power source such that its cooling air inlets and outlets are not
obstructed.
4.3 Mains supply
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.
Make sure that the welding power source is connected to the correct supply voltage
and that it is protected by the correct fuse rating. A protective earth connection must
be made in accordance with regulations.
Rating plate with supply connection data
NOTE! The welding power source is designed for connection to a 400 volt
system with four conductors.

5.1 Connections and control devices
1Control panel,
see separate instruction manual
5Connection (-) TIG: Welding torch
MMA: Welding cable or return cable
2Connection for remote control unit 6Connection (+) TIG: Return cable
MMA: Return cable or welding cable
3Connection for start signal from the
welding torch
7Mains voltage switch
4Connection for gas to the torch 8Connection for shielding gas
5.2 Connection of welding and return cable
The power source has two outputs, a positive terminal (+) and a negative terminal
(-), for connecting welding and return cables. The output to which the welding cable
is connected depends on the welding method or type of electrode used.
Connect the return cable to the other output on the power source. Secure the return
cable's contact clamp to the work piece and ensure that there is good contact be
tween the work piece and the output for the return cable on the power source.
For MMA welding, the welding cable can be connected to the positive terminal (+) or
negative terminal (-) depending on the type of electrode used. The connecting polar
ity is stated on the electrode packaging.
5.3 Fan control
The power source has a time control that means that the fans continue to run for 6.5
minutes after welding has stopped, and the unit switches to energy-saving mode.
The fans start again when welding restarts.
The fans run at reduced speed for welding currents up to 110 A, and at full speed for
higher currents.

5.4 Overheating Protection
The welding power source has overheating protection that operates if the
temperature becomes too high. When this occurs the welding current is interrupted
and a fault code is displayed on the control panel.
The overheating protection resets automatically when the temperature has fallen.
5.5 TIG welding
TIG welding melts the metal of the workpiece, using an arc struck from a tungsten
electrode, which does not itself melt. The weld pool and the electrode are protected
by shielding gas.
For TIG welding, the welding power source is supplemented with:
STIG torch, see accessories page 17
San argon gas cylinder
San argon gas regulator
Stungsten electrode
5.6 MMA welding
For MMA welding, the power source is supplemented with:
Swelding cable with electrode clamp, see accessories page 17
6 MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is important for safe, reliable operation.
Only those persons who have appropriate electrical knowledge (authorized
personnel) may remove the safety plates.
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.
6.1 Power unit
Check regularly that the welding power source is not clogged with dirt.
How often and which cleaning methods apply depend on: the welding process, arc
times, placement, and the surrounding environment. It is normally sufficient to blow
the power source clean with dry compressed air (reduced pressure) once a year.
Clogged or blocked air inlets and outlets otherwise result in overheating.
6.2 Welding torch
Wear parts should be cleaned and replaced at regular intervals in order to achieve
trouble-free welding.

7 FAULT-TRACING
Try these recommended checks and inspections before sending for an authorized
service technician.
Type of fault Corrective action
No arc. SCheck that the mains power supply switch is turned on.
SCheck that the welding and return cables are correctly
connected.
SCheck that the correct current value is set.
SCheck the mains power supply fuses.
The welding current is
interrupted during welding.
SCheck whether the overloading protection has deployed
(indicated in the control panel).
SCheck the mains power supply fuses.
The overheating protection trips
frequently.
SMake sure that you are not exceeding the rated data for the
welding power source (i.e. that the unit is not being
overloaded).
SCheck that the air inlets and outlets are not obstructed or
blocked.
Poor welding performance. SCheck that the welding and return cables are correctly
connected.
SCheck that the correct current value is set.
SCheck that the correct electrodes are being used.
SCheck the mains power supply fuses.
SCheck gas flow and gas quality
8 ORDERING SPARE PARTS
