DUTY CYCLE & WELDING ENVIRONMENT IN USE
• The welding unit describes a flat output characteristic (constant voltage). The duty cycles following the standard
EN60974-1 (at 40°C on a 10mn cycle) are indicated in the table here below:
X / 60974-1 @ 40°C
(T cycle = 10 min)
I max
60% (T cycle = 10
min)
100% (T cycle =
10 min)

15% @ 140 A
80 A
70 A
Note : The machine’s duty cycle has been tested at room temperature (40°C) and has been determined by
simulation.
• This is a Class-A device. It is 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. The device complies with IEC 61000 -3-12.
ADVICE & THERMAL PROTECTION
This device is equipped with a ventilator regulated by the inside temperature. When the machine’s thermal pro
-
tection is activated, it will not deliver any current. Orange light (Fig-V-2 / p.75) will turn on until the temperature
of the machine has returned to normal.
• Do not block/cover the ventillation holes, ensure free flow of air.
• Whilst in thermal protection mode leave the machine plugged into the mains after welding to allow it to cool.
General observations :
• Always respect the basic rules of welding.
• Always work in an adequately ventillated area.
• Do not work on a damp surface.
SAFETY
Arc welding can be dangerous and can cause serious and even fatal injuries.
Protect yourself and others. Ensure the following safety precautions are taken:
Arc radiation
Protect yourself with a helmet fitted with filters in compliance with EN169 or EN 379.
Rain, steam,
damp
Use your welding unit in a clean/dry environment (pollution factor ≤ 3), on a flat
surface, and more than one meter from the welding work-piece. Do not use in rain or
snow.
Electric shock
This device must only be used with an earthed power supply. Do not touch the parts
under tension. Check that the power supply is suitable for this unit.
Falls
Do not move the unit over people or objects.
Burns
"Wear protective (fire-proof) clothing (cotton, overalls or jeans).
Wear protective gloves and a fire-proof apron.
Ensure other people keep a safe distance from the work area and do not look directly
at the welding arc.
Protect others by installing fire-proof protection walls."
Fire risks
Remove all flammable products from the work area. Do not work in presence of flam
-
mable gases.
Fumes
Do not inhale welding gases and fumes. Use the device in a well ventilated environ-
ment, with artificial extraction if welding indoors.
