Stick Welding (MMA)
This machine does not include a MMA welding kit
cables, but may be purchased separately. Refer to the
accessories section for more information.
First determine the proper electrode polarity for the
electrode to be used. Consult the electrode data for this
information. Then connect the output cables to the
output terminals of the machine for the selected polarity.
Shown here is the connection method for DC(+) welding.
Connect the electrode cable to the (+) terminal and the
work clamp to the (-) terminal. Insert the connector with
the key lining up with the keyway and rotate
approximately ¼ turn clockwise. Do not over tighten.
For DC(-) welding, switch the cable connections at the
machine so that the electrode cable is connected to (-)
and the work clamp is connected to (+).
TIG Welding (GTAW)
This machine does not include a TIG torch necessary for
TIG welding, but one may be purchased separately.
Refer to the accessories section for more information.
Most TIG welding is done with DC(-) polarity shown
here. If DC(+) polarity is necessary switch the cable
connections at the machine.
Connect the torch cable to the (-)
terminal of the machine and the work
clamp to the (+) terminal. Insert the
connector with the key lining up with
the keyway and rotate approximately
¼ turn clockwise. Do not over
tighten. Finally, connect the gas hose from the TIG torch
to the gas connector (B) on the front of the machine. If
necessary, an extra gas connector for the fitting on the
front of the machine is included in the package. Next,
connect the fitting on the back of the machine to a gas
regulator on the cylinder of gas to be used. An input gas
line and the required fittings are also included in the
package. Connect the TIG torch trigger to the trigger
connector (A) on the front of the machine.
Remote Control Connection
Refer to the accessories section for a list
of remote controls. If a remote control is
used, it will be connected to the remote
connector on the front of the machine.
The machine will automatically detect the
remote control, turn on the REMOTE
LED, and switch to remote control mode. More
information on this mode of operation will be given in the
next section.
Rear Panel
A. Power Switch: It turns
ON / OFF the input
power to the machine.
B. Input cable: Connect it
to the mains.
C. Fan: Do not obstruct or
filter the fan inlet. The
“F.A.N.” (Fan As
Needed) feature
automatically regulates
the speed of thefan. If
the Machine doesn’t weld
for more than 5 minutes, it will enter Green Mode.
Green Mode
Green Mode is a feature that puts the machine in a
stand-by condition:
The
output
is
disabled
The fan is turned OFF
Only the Power ON LED remains ON.
A moving red dash is shown in the display
This reduces the amount of dirt that can be drawn
inside the Machine and the power consumption.
To restore the Machine simply restart to weld.
NOTE: Green Mode long time condition: each
10min of continuous Green Mode the fan runs for
1min.
D. Gas Inlet: Connector for the TIG shielding gas.
Use the supplied gas line and connector to connect
the machine to the gas source. The gas source
must have a pressure regulator and flow gage
installed.
Controls and Operational Features
Machine Start-Up:
When the machine is turned ON an auto-test is
executed: during this test all the LEDs turn ON in
sequence; at the same time the displays show “333” and
then “888”.
The Machine is ready to operate when on the Front
Control Panel lights up the “Power ON” LED, the “A”
LED (placed on the middle of the synoptic) with one
of the LED of the Welding “MODE” command. This
is the minimum condition: depending by the welding
selection others LEDs may be ON.
