WELDING FUMES AND GASES
The fumes, gases and dust created when welding are a health hazard. It is required to ensure adequate ventilation
or extraction for fumes and gases. Using an air fed welding helmet is recommended in case of insucient
ventilation in the workplace.
Check that the extraction is eective by checking it against recommended safety standards.
Caution, welding in small spaces requires surveillance from a safe distance. In addition, the welding of certain materials containing
lead, cadmium, zinc, mercury or beryllium may be particularly harmful.
Do not weld in areas where grease or paint are stored.
GAS CYLINDERS
Gas leaking from the cylinders can lead to suocation if present in high concentrations around the work area.
Transport must be done safely: cylinders closed and device switched o. They must be stored vertically and held
by a support to limit the risk of falling.
The same recommendations apply for the storage of the cylinders. They must also be stored in open and ventilated
areas.
Gas cylinders must be stored in an open or ventilated area. The cylinders must be in a vertical position and fastened to a support
or trolley.
Close the cylinder in between using it. Be wary of temperature variations and sun exposure.
The cylinder must not be in contact with a ame, electric arc, torch, earth clamp or all other sources of heat.
Always keep gas cylinders away from electrical circuits and therefore never weld a pressurised cylinder.
Be careful when opening the valve of a cylinder, it is necessary to remove the valve head and to make sure that the correct gas mix
is used.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The electrical mains used must have an earth terminal. Follow the fuse rating recommended in the table.
An electrical shock can directly or indirectly cause serious and potentially deadly accidents.
Do not make physical contact with live parts inside or outside the machine when it is powered such as the torch, earth clamp,
electrodes and cables, as they are part of the welding circuit.
Before opening the device, it is imperative to disconnect it from the mains and to wait for 2 minutes in order for the capacitors to
release the energy.
Do not touch the torch or electrode holder and the earth clamp at the same time.
Make sure to replace the torches and cables if they are damaged. This should be done by a qualied and authorised technician.
The dimensioning of the accessories should be sucient.
Always wear dry clothes which are in good condition in order to be insulated from the electrical circuit. Wear insulating shoes,
regardless of the environment in which you work in.

NORMATIVE REMINDER
According to the EN1090 standard, a welding generator must undergo a control of its welding parameters. This check allows us to issue a «Valida-
tion report».
The following validation procedure is based on the reference standards EN 50504 and EN 60974-14.
The objective of this procedure is to ensure a correct welding result that is reproducible over time.
Validation of welding equipment according to the standard is an action to verify the performance of the product in relation to its settings.
Validation is carried out on 5 measuring points within the adjustment range. It is nevertheless possible to validate a reduced adjustment range at
the customer’s request.
Select the validation/calibration range of the control or indicator assembled on the power supply as follows:
a) the complete range of the control or measuring device (see note);
b) a partial range of the control or measuring device;
c) the selected points within the range of the control or measuring device.
NOTE The maximum values of the range for voltmeters and ammeters are given by the no-load voltage and the maximum welding current of the
current source.
Before performing the validation/calibration, it is necessary to agree with the manufacturer, customer or user on options b) or c).
Perform measurements at the minimum setting, maximum setting and at three other points which are at nominally equal distance between
minimum and maximum over full range
In the case of EN 50504, the measurement is carried out twice (rising «a» measurement and falling «b» measurement) after a stabilisation time of
10 seconds for the measured values.
For En 60974-14, the measurement is performed 3 times (measurement «a», «b» and «c») at short intervals after a stabilisation time of 10 seconds.
It is recommended to leave the product in operation for 5 minutes before carrying out the validation procedure.
The validation must be carried out at least every year and after each repair or modication that may aect the settings.
Only a qualied person can perform these measurements. This person ensures that the test conditions are optimal and the results accurate. We
highly advise to go through the text of the standard before performing a validation.
For specic processes such as Pulsed MIG and TIG AC, user errors and the use of indapated measuring tools may result in measurement errors.
The manufacturer of the welding machine must be consulted.
Welding machine precision
The precision of the settings and/or displays is determined by a category, itself determined according to the welding specications (PQR/WPS) and
the welding machine specications.
Validation type:
- For EN 50504, the type of validation can be «consistency» or «accuracy».
- For EN 60974-14, the validation type can be «validation», «calibration» or «consistency».
This category is split in 2 types: «Standard» or «Precision». It determines the tolerance for the welding settings, the measure-
ments taken and displayed on the machine as well as the measuring tools that should be used.

DESCRIPTION
The multimeter page opens when the software is launched. This mode oers the possibility to see each measurement channel, to record the dis-
played values and to record weld seams. It also allows the calculation of the welding energy.
The 4 measuring channels are:
- the current channel
- the tension channel
- the speed channel
- the gas ow.
For the current and voltage channels, it is possible to choose the measurement mode (drop-down menu):
- TRMS (True Root Mean Square): the real eective value is displayed (default mode).
- MOY: the average value of the measurement is displayed.
- INSTANT: the instantaneous value of the measurement is displayed.
It is possible to enter the voltage drop related to the cables. To do this, enter the various parameters in the corresponding window.
In the «voltage position» section, check the box where the voltage is displayed.
In the «position of the voltage probes» section, tick the boxes where the voltage is measured.
START (FIG. 1: MULTIMETER MODE INTERFACE)
Start procedure:
• Select the measurement channels selected for the recording.
• Choose the measurement mode for each channel (TRMS ...) before starting the acquisition.
• Click on the «Activate» button.
New items appear on the window:
- A «Start / Stop welding» button 1: button: to control the welding machine with the computer,
- An «Acquisition» section 2: dedicated to the choice of the recording mode (see section manual & automatic recording),
- A «Recording point» button 3: to record a point at a time «t».
There is a limit of 99 recordings. (points & weld seams).
RECORDING («Acquisition» section)
The recording of points and weld beads takes place in two steps:
1) Start a weld.
2) Carry out the capture via software.
Weld bead recording can be done in «OFF», «manual» or «automatic»
mode.

13
CALIBRATION CASE CALIWELD EN
O Mode
The «O» mode allows to take a measurement at a time «t» by clicking on the disk.
Manual mode
The choice of the manual mode implies that the user chooses when to perform his welding points. Start the manual recording of points by clicking on
the button . Stop the capture by clicking on the box. To save a weld bead, click on the button . Repeat as many times as necessary.
Automatic mode
The automatic recording allows the user to program the software to do the recordings using several parameters which can be changed with the
button 4:
- The choice of the default feed speed: required to calculate the energy according to some standards.
- The choice of the process: necessary for the future calculation of the energy.
- The triggering threshold: value of the current or ow rate above which cord acquisition starts and below which cord recording stops (a g. 2
and diagram).
- Time between 2 weld beads: time between 2 weld beads. Recording stops beyond this duration (c g. 2 & diagram).
- Start/stop welding rejection time: Duration at the beginning and at the end of the weld bead production during which the recording
does not take place in order not to impact the measurement by the rising and decreasing phases of the current. (b & d g.2 & diagram)
Fig.2 : cord capture settings Schéma : parameters and scrolling of a capture
Each weld bead is triggered as soon as the current or ow rate exceeds the trigger threshold. It stops as soon as it falls below this threshold and no
action is detected (pressing the trigger) for the chosen duration of time between 2 weld beads. (see diagram).
When a weld bead is being recorded automatically, the indicator appears in the «Acquisition» window and the «weld bead duration» starts, it
stops only when the current falls below the triggering threshold.
To record a welding bead, click on the box . Repeat as many times as necessary.
Recording of a 8 seconds weld bead by automatic recording.
Memorisation (manual & automatic mode)
At the end of the recording, the software suggests to memorise the welding bead:
- Enter the feed speed or welding bead length. One of the two parameters must be ll in to
calculate and estimate the energy.
- Comment on the measure (not mandatory).

RECORDING & PRINTING HISTORY
History
All recordings are available with several information in a history (up to 99 recordings).
To get there, click on the «disabled» box under the heading «Acquisition» and then click on «Open» in the «Recording» menu.
The measurement history gives the following information: Backup number, backup date and time, weld bead duration if recording > 0 seconds,
voltage, current, speed and gas ow. The software calculates the total welding energy of the weld bead in kJ (see equation 2), it is necessary to
divide the energy in kJ by the length of the weld bead (in mm). It is also possible to add a note. Lines can be deleted by clicking on «Save» and
then «Delete».

RECORDING
Manual recording
To start a new manual recording, tick the «manual» box in the «measurement recording» menu. The START box appears ( 7g. 5) and changes to
a STOP box when the recording starts. To start recording the measurements, either activate the machine by using the remote control ( 5 g.5),or
by welding, and then press the button each time that a recording is required. The recording of the weld bead then starts.
To stop the recording, click on the button . Repeat these actions until the weld bead or the number of measurements obtained are satisfactory.
Automatic recording
Recording can be automated by ticking the «Auto record» box ( 6 g. 5). Firstly, adjust the welding settings. Similarly to the «multimeter» mode,
the following options appear in the automatic recording settings:
Start threshold : value of the current or ow rate above which acquisition starts.
Interpoint times : time between 2 welding spots. The recording stops after this time.
Click on to validate the settings.
Fig.8: Auto capture settings
The operating of the oscilloscope automatic mode is similar to the multimeter. Firstly, either activate the machine by using the remote control (
5 g.5) or by welding. Then click on the button (7g. 5). TThe software will record any cord as soon as the current or ow rate is
higher than the selected trigger threshold. It stops recording the cord as soon as the current or ow rate is lower than the trigger threshold.
Two actions will stop the measurements: either the user clicks on the button (7g. 5) or if the duration of the recording reaches 30 seconds.
SAVING & PRINTING
At the end of the recording, it is possible to save and display the oscilloscope recordings (up to 10 lines max). Just click on the button
(8 g. 5), name the recording and click on . Click on the button to validate the recording.

VALIDATION MODE
DESCRIPTION (Fig.11 : Calibration page)
Fig.11: Calibration page
The validation of the product must be done using a load bank.
Before starting the validation, follow the verication process for the welding machine and load bank.
(appendix p. 24)
This mode validates the product specications and delivers a validation report indicating if it complies with standard EN50504 or EN 60974-14.
To validate the specications of a machine, it is necessary to acquire the measurements from an existing scenario or by creating a new one.
Calibration scenarios for GYS and IMS welding machines are included with the CALIWELD case. If the machine used is from another manufacturer,
it is possible to create or modify the scenarios. The only condition is that standard EN50504 or EN 60974-14 (p.6) is followed until the validation is
complete.
Some products of the synergic type need specic scenarios to avoid the risk of incorrect measurements
(manual recording, specic settings...). For more information regarding these products, refer to p.30.
The rst page of the «Validation» mode is the calibration page. The scenario used for the validation is determined there. The elds listed below
need to be lled in:
- The «serial number» of the machine 1.a
-The «Identication N°» 1.b : customer machine identication
- The «product» section 2 which will be used to automatically ll in the «information» section.
The box «wire feeder number» needs to be lled in if the wire feeder is separate and not in the machine.
- The «information» section 3 is lled in automatically, except for the elds «supply voltage» and «U0 machine» which must be lled in by
the user. «U0 machine» represents the no-load voltage. It must be measured with a multimeter or with the caliweld, if the user ticks the display
checkbox (voltage).
- The section «Channels» 4, allows to select the channels that must be recorded during the validation. Tick the «source» box in the «source»
column.
Remark : When using a machine with a digital display, it is recommended to tick the «display» box. It will be possible to compare the measure-
ment taken by the software and the value displayed on the machine.
- The «points list» section 5(cf. chapter «In the case of the creation of a new scenario»).
- A « Parameters « section 6allowing to choose the desired standard, class and type.
- A heading «Cable losses» 7allowing to inform the voltage drop related to cables.
IN THE CASE OF A SCENARIO ALREADY AVAILABLE
The scenarios for the GYS and IMS machines are already stored on the software. If the user has one of these models, he will be able to use the
relevant scenario available on the software and on the website (the product updates are available on the GYS website www.gys-welding.com). The
database can be imported or directly modied in the software (Warning : the imported database will replace the existing scenarios. Make sure you
carry out the import during the rst uses or all added scenarios will be lost).
To obtain the scenario matching the model to be validated, remain on the calibration page of the «Validation» mode. Enter the machine serial number
1. Fill in the information in the «Product» section 2. The sections on the calibration page will be automatically lled in.
However if one of the criteria in the scenario needs to be amended, click on the «Add/Modify Scenario» 7box and amend it (refer to section «In
the case of a scenario creation»).

How to ll in the list of points ?
• Start by lling in the «Product» 8and «Information» 9sections.
• Then select the channels to be measured in the section 10 . If the machine has a digital display indicating the value of the selected channel,
tick the «Display» box.
• Fill in the sections 11 and 12 . The «Test range» section is important because it contains the information that will allow the automatic creation
of the points list.
• Click on the «Auto» button in the «Points list» section 13 .
• 5 rising points are automatically created, two choices are then possible:
• - The points are suitable, in this case switch to start.
• - The points are not suitable, in this case, go on the point to be corrected and click on the «Modify» tab. The «Point modication» page (Fig. 13)
opens.
Fig. 13: «Editing point» page
Enter the desired values for each input eld and click on . 5 measuring points must be lled, the software manages the rising part (from min
to max) and the creation of decreasing points (once max, the software automatically creates again 5 points from max to min). To delete a point,
click on the «Del» button.
Deleting a scenario is irreversible. It is impossible to nd a deleted scenario. It is important to make regular
backups.
Scenario memorisation
Once the list of points has been completed, the creation of the scenario is completed, click on «Save» (n° 15 g. 12) (the scenario integrates the
software database) to save and click on «Back» to exit. (n° 16 g. 12)
