5.1.7  Mains connection 

 

 

 DANGER 

 

Hazards caused by improper mains connection! 

An improper mains connection can cause injuries or damage property! 

•  The connection (mains plug or cable), the repair or voltage adjustment of the device must 

be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with the respective local laws or nati-

onal regulations! 

•  The mains voltage indicated on the rating plate must match the supply voltage. 

•  Only operate machine using a socket that has correctly fitted protective earth. 

•  Mains plug, socket and lead must be checked by a qualified electrician on a regular basis! 

•  When operating the generator, always ensure it is earthed as stipulated in the operating in-

structions. The network created must be suitable for operating machines according to pro-

tection class I. 

 

5.1.7.1  Mains configuration 

 

 

The machine may only be connected to a one-phase system with two conductors and an earthed 

neutral conductor.

•  Insert mains plug of the switched-off machine into the appropriate socket. 

 

5.2  Operating the machine control 

5.3  Machine display 

The machine control switches to the main screen after it has been turned on or a setting has been com-

pleted. This means that the previously selected settings (indicated by signal lights where applicable) have 

been applied and the current nominal value (A) is displayed in the welding data display. 

 

5.3.1  Welding power setting 

The welding power is set using the control button. You can also adjust the parameters in the operation 

sequence or settings in the different machine menus. 

 

5.3.2  Welding parameter setting in the operation sequence 

During the operation sequence you can set a welding parameter by briefly pressing the control button 

(navigate the parameters) and then turning the button (set the parameter). 

 

5.3.3  Setting advanced welding parameters (Expert menu) 

The Expert menu contains functions and parameters which cannot be set directly in the machine control 

or which do not need to be et on a regular basis. The number and display of these parameters depends 

on the previously selected welding procedure or the functions. 

 

5.3.4  Changing basic settings (machine configuration menu) 

The basic welding system functions can be adjusted in the machine configuration menu. Only experi-

enced users should change the settings
