Connecting supplementary devices
8.8.1
ORB Residual Oxygen Meter
The Residual Oxygen Meter can be used separately or connected to the machine.
Separate use:
If the limit value set at the meter is undershot by the device, a warning signal is emitted. This has no effect on the weld-
ing process. The operator can take further measures.
Connection to the machine:
The machine cannot be started as long as the residual oxygen value lies above the set limit value. If the limit value is
exceeded, the process is aborted and a note is entered in the log.
8.8.2
Connecting and configuring the BUP control unit
The BUP control unit enables a defined and programmable internal pipe pressure (forming gas) to be built up in conjunction
with suitable plugs for closing off the pipe on both sides. This pressure is controlled based on the electrode position. Thus an
incursion of the weld seam which occurs in the flat position can be reduced or eliminated.
The control unit does not have its own power supply: It is connected to the machine via the connection socket and is thus
ready for operation.
Connecting the unit
1. Connect the unit to the "BUP Control" connection socket of the machine.
2. In the main menu select "

8.8.3
TIG manual welding torch
Liquid-cooled manual welding torches with the Orbitalum connection system can be connected.
The torch should have a torch button for starting the process.
• For cassette weld heads: Ground wire required.
• For LP heads: The optional ground wire can also be used in conjunction with the manual welding torch.
Procedures can be adjusted and saved for manual operation.
