6.2 Water lock
The feed unit has a waterlock that senses whether the cooling water hoses are
connected.
The power unit On/Off switch must be in the “0” position (Off) when connecting a
water--cooled welding gun.
If a water--cooled welding gun is connected, the water pump starts automatically
when the main On/Off switch is turned to “START” and/or when welding starts. After
welding, the pump continues to run for 6,5 minutes, and then switches to the
energy--saving mode.
6.3 Remote control unit
The remote control unit must be connected via a remote control adapter.
When the adapter is connected, the power source and feed wire unit are in remote
control mode; the buttons and knobs are blocked. The functions can only be
adjusted via the remote control unit.
If the remote control unit is not to be used, the adapter with the remote control unit
must be disconnected from the power source / wire feed unit, as otherwise it will
remain in remote control mode.
When a remote control unit is used to set the voltage, the function will be changed to
the setting of current during MMA welding.
For more information about the operation of the remote control unit, see the
operating instructions for the control panel.
6.4 Wire feed pressure
Setting the wire feed pressure
Start by making sure that the wire moves smoothly through the wire guide. Then
set the pressure of the wire feeder’s pressure rollers. It is important that the
pressure is not too great.
Fig 1 Fig 2
To check that the feed pressure is set correctly, you can feed out the wire against
an insolated object, e.g. a piece of wood.
When you hold the pistol approx. 5 mm from the piece of wood (fig. 1) the feed
rollers should slip.
If you hold the pistol approx. 50 mm from the piece of wood, the wire should be
fed out and bend (fig. 2).
