DIRECTIONS OF USE (fig VI, PAGE 6)
MIG/MAG MODE :
SMARTMIG feature allows you to adjust the voltage and the wire speed.
Use the SMART table to find the correct settings based on the type of wire, and the thickness of the metal
workpiece.
Then based on the recommendation indicated, simply select :
•
The voltage (buttons

•
Wire speed - adjust the regulator
③
to the colour zone indicated.
Examples :
To weld 0.8mm thick steel, use 0.6 mm diameter steel wire (SMARTMIG 142 & 162) :
•
Move button
① to the « A » position
•
Move button ② to the « min » position
• Move the regulator ③ to the zone of lightest colour and adjust « by sound » if required
To perform the same operation with SMARTMIG 3P :
•
Move button
④ to the « A » position
• Move the regulator ② to « min » or « max »
•
Move the regulator ③ to the zone of lightest colour, and adjust « by sound » if required.
MMA MODE (SMARTMIG 3P ONLY) :
Connect the electrode holder and earth clamp to the machine, respecting the polarity indicated on the electrode
packaging. Then adjust the position.
Example :
For welding metal 4mm thick :
•
Move button
①
to the « MMA » position.
•
Adjust the regulator
②
to the zone corresponding with electrode diameter 2.5mm.
DUTY CYCLE & WELDING ENVIRONMENT IN USE
•
The welding unit describes an output characteristic of "constant current" type. The duty cycles following the
standard EN60974-1 (at 40°C on a 10mn cycle) are indicated in the table here below :
SMARTMIG 3P
X / 60974-1 @ 40°C (T cycle = 10 min) SMARTMIG 142 SMARTMIG 162
MIG/MAG MMA
X% - Imax 20% - 90 A 20% - 115 A 25% - 110 A 15% - 115 A
60% 60 A 70 A 70 A 40 A
100% 50 A 60 A 60 A 30 A
Note: the running hot tests have been carried out at atmosphere temperature and duty cycle has been
determined at 40°C by simulation.
These are A-class devices. They are designed to be used in an industrial or professional environment. In a different
environment, it can be difficult to ensure electromagnetic compatibility, due to conducted disturbances as well as
radiation. From 1st December 2010, the new standard EN 60974-10 will be applicable : Warning: these materials do
not comply with IEC 61000-3-12. If they are to be connected to a low-voltage mains supply, it is the responsibility
of the user to ensure they can be connected. If necessary consult the operator of your electrical distribution system
