5. SET UP FOR REMOTE TRANSMIG WITH WIREFEEDER
Refer to Figure 5 for the plant setup of a remote Transmig with wirefeeder.
5.1 Power Source Connections
a) Remove all packaging materials.
b) Fit the fixed and swivel wheels to the Power Source. Refer to WARNING 2.
c) Connect the work lead to the negative welding terminal (-) [positive welding terminal (+)
for flux cored wire].
d) Position a gas cylinder on the rear tray and lock securely to the Power Source cylinder
bracket with the chain provided. If this arrangement is not used then ensure that the gas
cylinder is secured to a building pillar, wall bracket or otherwise securely fixed in an
upright position.
e) Fit the gas regulator and Flowmeter to the gas cylinder.
5.2 Wirefeeder Connections
a) Connect the welding power cable to the
positive welding terminal (+) [negative
welding terminal (-) for flux cored wire].
b) Connect the control cable to the front of the
Power Source of the Transmig 210 remote or
Transmig 250 remote or Transmig 330.
c) Connect the gas hose from the rear of the
wire feeder unit to the Flowmeter outlet.
d) Two dual groove feed rollers are supplied as
standard with the plant. These can
accommodate 0.6, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0 and 1.2
diameter hard wires. Select the roller
required with the chosen wire size marking
facing outwards.
e) Fit the electrode wire spool to the wire reel
hub located behind the wire compartment
door. Ensure that the drive dog-pin engages
the mating hole in the wire spool. Push the
'R' clip into place to retain the wire spool
securely. The wire should feed from the
bottom of the spool.
f) Fit the torch to the wire feed unit by releasing the torch locking screw in the brass torch
adaptor and pushing in the torch fitting until the plastic torch casing meets the brass
adaptor. Tighten the torch locking screw securely. Also ensure that the adjacent black
knurled screw in the wire feeder casting is securely tightened. Remove the contact tip from
the torch.
g) Connect the torch trigger lead to the torch trigger terminals.
h) Lift up the wire feeder pressure lever and pass the electrode wire through the inlet guide,
between the rollers, through the outlet guide and into the torch.
i) Lower the pressure lever and with the torch lead reasonably straight, feed the wire through
the torch. Fit the appropriate contact tip. Refer to CAUTION 3.
