Thank you for choosing our product! In order to take the most of your welder, please read the following
instructions carefully:
The IMS 1305, 1400, 1700, 1905, 2510 are, Inverter, portable welder, for covered electrode and TIG Lift in
DC.
It allows welding with rutiles, basic, stainless steel and cast iron electrodes. They work with a single
phase 230V input for the IMS 1305/1400/1700/1905, and a three phase 400V input for the IMS 2510 TRI.
In TIG, it allows to weld most of metals except aluminium and alloys. It is protected for a use on electric
generators (230V /+- 15% or 400V/+-15 %).
POWER SUPPLY – START UP
•
This machine is delivered with a 230V socket /16A plug type EEC7/7 for IMS 1305/1400/1700/1905 and
400V/16A three-phase type EN 60309-1.The IMS 1305/1400/1700/1905 must be plugged on a 230 V (50-
60Hz) with earth and 400V three-phase for the IMS 2510TRI. The absorbed effective current (I1eff) is
shown on the machine, for maximal using conditions. Check that the power supply and its protection (fuse
and/or circuit-breaker) is compatible with the necessary current during use. In some countries, the change
of plug can be necessary to allow a use at maximal conditions. For the IMS 1400/1700 in intensive use,
preferably select a 20 A plug. The welder must be installed so that the mains plug is accessible.
•
The start-up is done by pressing the ON / STAND BY.
•
The device turns into protection mode if the power supply tension is over 265V for IMS
1305/1400/1700/1905 or 460V for IMS 2510.
To indicate this default, the screen displays on IMS 1305/1400/1700 and for 1905/2510 tri. Once
in protection mode, you have to unplug the device and plug it back on a socket delivering the correct
tension.
•
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 for IMS 1305, 1400, 1700,
and 2510: 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
ELECTRODE WELDING (MMA Mode)
•
Apply the usual welding rules.
•
Leave the machine connected to the supply after welding in order to let it cool down.
•
Thermal protection : thermal protection indicator turns on and the cooling time is about 2 to 5 min
according to external temperature.
•
Your machine is equipped with 3 specific functions to Inverters :
The Hot Start
( adjustable mode, see below) increases the current at the beginning of the
welding.
The Arc Force
(adjustable mode only on the ISM 1905 and 2510 models) increases the
current in order to avoid the sticking when electrode enters in melted metal.
The Anti Sticking
allows you to easily withdraw your electrode without damaging it in case of
sticking.
Selection of MMA Mode and intensity setting :
- Select the MMA position
with the selector.
- Adjust the wished current (display
) using the key
.
Hot Start & Arc Force adjustments
Hot Start is adjustable:
- from 0 to 60% within the limit of 130A for the IMS 1305 and within the limit of 140A for the IMS 1400
and 160 for the IMS 1700.
- from 0 to 100% with limit of 190A for the IMS 1905 and 250A limit for IMS 2510.
Advice : low Hot Start : for thin metal sheets – high Hot Start for metals that are difficult to weld
(dirty or oxidized parts)
