Instruction Manual
8.3 Output failure
Fires, burns and shocks may be caused by uncorrect current outputs.
Reasons may be found on:
• involuntary failures on mig jobs which may release, without any control, the welding
wire: it melt entering in contact with negative polarities generating possible re and
burn conditions
• damaged cables, with insulation losses, etc.
In case of any output failure, the machine enters in alarm condition showing:
ALL Out - Output Alarm
8.4 ED alarm
The MULTI serie generators are characterized by a high ED factor – 60% at 40°C
(40% in case of MULTI 250K) and power supply may, in certain cases, be insufcient
causing damages on the exhisting supply network.
The MULTI serie controls regularly the input power value and in case of any
discrepancy display will shows:
ALL Ed xxx: The machine will be available again at the end of the count-down
shown on the display.
8.5 Thermic alarm
The MULTI serie generators are fan cooled. Forced ventilation is activated once the
inverter temperature exceed the 40°C and fan turns automatically off once internal
components are correctly cooled.
Fan cooling is anyway rarely activated: it may accur when duty cycle has been ex-
ceeded, in case of high environment temperatures, etc.
In case of overheating, output is disabled and display will shows:
ALL OL
The icon °C light on
Leave the machine on to allow a correct ventilation; when thermal conditions are re-
covered, normal operations are again possible.
In case current exceeds the mentioned limits (current peaks), machine functions
stop and display shows the detected current peak. Reset the machine by switch-
ing the main ON/OFF knob.
The tri-phase version detects even the right presence of the three current phases
and, should one of those fail for > 20 m/s, machine functions stop and display will
show the missing phase. Again, reset the machine by switching the main ON/OFF
knob.
Power supply alarms that may appear on display:
PS XXX ac : power supply current peak
ALL Ph : current phase failure
8.2 Short circuit protection
A circuit test is released every time you switch “ON” the machine. The correct output
polarities are checked-out and in case of an eventual short circuit detection, machine
enters in alarm standby showing on the display:
ALL Ph - alarm short circuit
Once short circuit conditions are removed, machine test will continue correctly.
Short circuit conditions may appear even during the welding job: in case they persist
continuosly for more than 5 sec, generator enter in “short circuit alarm”.
The “antisticking” icon lights too.
Power Supply 169V = current peak
8. ALARMS AND SETTINGS
8.1 Power supply alarms and setting
The single-phase welding generator MULTI 250K has an imput voltage of 230V
( min 170V – max 270V ). The tri-phase welding generators MULTI 400K and 500K
have an imput voltage of 400V ( min 340V – max 500V). Both single and tri-phase
versions can be supplied with motorgenerators and/or long cables (within the min/
max imput voltage limits).
