2. Three-phase mains voltage is 3x380V or 3x400V (for StandardTIG-270/350-400V),
three wires are dedicated for this. Safety rules when working with welding equipment
require grounding of the unit housing. There are two ways to do this: 1) by using the
fourth wire in the mains yellow-green cable (international marking standard); 2) by using
a bolted terminal on the rear wall of the unit (a stricter grounding standard, used in the
CIS countries).
Caution! When the unit is connected to a mains voltage higher than 270V, all manufacturer's
warranty obligations become invalid! This situation can occur with a very huge imbalance in
the phase voltage in a standard mains or when using a non-standard connection.
The mains connector, the cross-sections of the mains cables, as well as the mains fuses needs
to be selected based on the unit technical data.
2.4 CONNECTING THE MAINS PLUG
Caution!
The mains plug needs to match the supply voltage and current consumption of the
welding unit (see the technical data). According to safety rules, please, use the sockets with
guaranteed grounding!!!
2.5 SELECTING THE DEVICE MENU LANGUAGE
To select/change the menu language of the device, hold down button 3 and turn on the
device. After that, the language selection menu will be displayed on the screen. You can
select the desired language using the buttons
2 . 2 seconds after selection, the machine will
continue working in the corresponding language.
3. MANUAL METAL ARC (MMA) WELDING
Procedure for preparing the unit for operation:
- insert the electrode cable into the socket of the source
A “+”;
- insert the ground cable into the socket of the source B “ - ” ;
- connect the ground cable to the workpiece;
- connect the mains plug to the power supply;
- turn power switch
8 on the rear panel to the "I" position;
- use button 4 to set the MMA welding mode; to do this, hold the button for about 5
seconds. The indicator will start flashing, informing the user that it is ready to switch to the
next welding mode. If you omitted the required welding mode, press button
4 again: the
modes are switched in a circle;
- use buttons
2 to set the current main parameter, this is the welding current;
- if necessary, you can adjust additional functions of the welding process, see paragraph 6.1
for the order of switching.
