INSTALLATION
1. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
2. Check that the power source is set up for the available mains voltage before
connecting it to the supply.
3. If the control voltage is switched between 42 V and 110 V make sure the revers-
ible sign shows the correct voltage.
4. See the technical data for recommended power cable and fuse ratings.
5. Connect the power cable to the power source in accordance with the relevant
electrical regulations and fit a suitable fuse to the junction box.
6. Make sure that the flow of cooling air through the power source is not obstructed.
OPERATION
1. Switch
switches power on or off. The white lamp (2)
lights up and the fan starts.
2. Signal lamp, white, 42--48 V
3. Potentiometer
for adjusting welding voltage. Can be con-
trolled remotely using additional servo motor
(e.g. from automatic welding machine)
4. Voltmeter och ammeter optional accessories
5. Switch and 3 pin socket
for remote control unit or pulse unit
6. 8 pin socket
for external control 110/42 V AC (allows
switching from automatic welding machine,
for example)
7. 1 pin socket for meter lead
8. Socket, for connecting wire feed unit
9. Thermal cut--out (overload protection)
when the thermal cut--out trips the yellow
lamp on the front panel comes on. When the
power source has cooled down the thermal
cut--out is reset automatically.
MAINTENANCE
Blow the power source clean at least once a year using dry compressed air at
reduced pressure. If the power source is used in a dusty or dirty environment it
should be blown clean more often.
Spare parts are ordered through your nearest ESAB representative, see back cover.
When ordering spare parts, please state machine type and number as well as desig-
nation and spare part number as shown in the spare parts list on page 67.
