Whether the mains power supply is interrupted or the power source is switched off in the
normal manner, weld programs will be stored so that it is available next time the unit is
started.

CAUTION!

Do not turn off the power source during welding (with load).

5.7

Connect to cooler EC 1000

NOTE!

Take care so that the interface cable does not get squeezed between the power
source and the cooling unit!

NOTE!

Power supply of the cooling unit is done from the welding power source via the
connection cable (for more information, see the cooling unit instruction manual).

5.8

Fan control

The power source has an automatic thermal control. The fan continues to run during a few
minutes after welding has stopped while the power source switches to energy-saving mode.
The fan starts again when welding restarts.

During energy-saving mode the fan will start occasionally and run for a few minutes.
