4 Putting into operation
4.3 Mounting the hose assembly
1
Plug the hose assembly connection into the power supply and secure it with
a connection nut.
2
Properly mount the connections for coolant supply/return, shielding gas
and control line plug.
4.4 Setting the shielding gas quantity
WARNING
Risk of burns
Produktname will become overheated if the coolant level is too low.
• Wear protective gloves.
• Check the coolant level at regular intervals.
NOTE
• Check the minimum coolant level of the cooling device.
• Make sure that the coolant supply and return have been installed
properly. Coolant supply = blue, Coolant return = red.
• Do not use any deionized or demineralized water as coolant or for
tightness or flow tests.
This may impair the service life of your welding torch.
• For liquid-cooled TIG welding torches, we recommend using the
ABICOR BINZEL
coolant BTC-15.
• Each time the device is commissioned or after each hose assembly
change, the cooling system must be ventilated as follow: disconnect the
coolant return hose from the re-circulating cooling unit, and hold it over a
collecting device. Close the opening at the coolant return hose. Open it
again by repeatedly and abruptly releasing it, until the coolant is flowing
continuously and without air bubbles.
NOTE
• The type and quantity of the shielding gas quantity depends on the
welding task and the gas nozzle geometry.
• To prevent the shielding gas supply from becoming clogged by
impurities, the cylinder valve must be opened briefly, before connecting
the cylinder. This will blow out any impurities that may be present.
• Make all shielding gas connections gas-tight.
