GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS
This welding machine is a power source developed with
inverter technology, suitable for MIG welding.
This welding machine must not be used to defrost pipes.
EXPLANATION OF TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
LISTED ON THE MACHINE PLATE
This machine is manufactured according to the following
international standards:
IEC 60974-1 / IEC 60974-10 (CL. A) / IEC 61000-3-11 /
IEC 61000-3-12.
No.
Serial number. Must be indicated on any re-
quest regarding the welding machine.
Single-phase static transformer-rectifier
frequency converter.
MIG Suitable for MIG/MAG welding.
U0. Secondary open-circuit voltage.
X. Duty cycle percentage.
The duty cycle expresses the percentage of
10 minutes during which the welding ma-
chine may run at a certain current without
overheating.
I2. Welding current
U2. Secondary voltage with I2 current
U1. Rated supply voltage.
1~ 50/60Hz Single-phase 50 or 50 Hz power supply.
I1 Max
Max. absorbed current at the corresponding
I2 current and U2 voltage.
I1 eff This is the maximum value of the actual cur-
rent absorbed, considering the duty cycle.
This value usually corresponds to the capac-
ity of the fuse (delayed type) to be used as a
protection for the equipment.
IP23S Protection rating for the housing. Grade
3
as the second digit means that this machine
may be stored, but it is not suitable for use
outdoors in the rain, unless it is protected.
S
Suitable for use in high-risk environments.
NOTE:
The equipment has also been designed for use in environ-
ments with a pollution rating of 3. (See IEC 60664).

PROTECTION DEVICES
Block protection
In case of a welding machine malfunction, the display
screen
A
will show the message WARNING to identify
the type of fault. If this message does not disappear when
the machine is switched off and back on, contact service
at 800-ABC-WELD.
Thermal cutout
This unit is protected by a thermostat which prevents
machine operation whenever acceptable temperatures
are exceeded. In these conditions, the fan continues to
operate and the display screen
A
shows the message
WARNING tH in flashing mode.
