Slide the boots together securely to protect the connectors and fittings from dirt,
and to prevent the power and ground connectors from coming in contact with
each other.
4.0 WATER COOLING
The Model 8 series heads are plumbed for water cooling, and are cooled via the
power supply’s (optional) cooling unit. Although water cooling is not required for
all applications, it should always be used when welding tube or pipe wall
thicknesses of 0.083” (2.1mm) or heavier, or when doing high-duty-cycle work.
Consult the factory for recommendations.
5.0 ROTATION (SPEED) AUTO-CALIBRATION
Before welding, the electrode rotation motor in the weld head must be calibrated
to the power supply. Most power supplies include an auto calibration function in
the software. Refer to the power supply operation manual for specifics on auto
calibration.
5.1 Should the power supply indicate that the weld head requires
calibration adjustment the calibration potentiometer can be accessed
at the bottom of the weld head, where the cable is attached. See
fig 5. Follow the instructions on your power supply in making
adjustments to the potentiometer. Repeat this procedure until the
power supply indicates that the head is calibrated.
