- connect the power supply unit of the wire feeder to the power supply mains (if the wire
feeder is independently powered);
- turn on the wire feeder with its own switch;
- install a spool of wire with the required diameter;
- lead the free end of the wire through the inlet channel to the TIG torch;
- put the automatic switch
6 on the rear panel to the ON position;
- use button 4 to set the MIG/MAG welding mode, the modes are switched in a circle;
- use buttons 2 to set the required welding voltage;
- set the required wire feeding speed on the wire feeder;
- if necessary, you can adjust additional functions of the welding process, see paragraph 6.1
for the order of switching.
To control turning the source on and off, there is a control connector 8 on the rear
panel. Connection diagram:
Only contacts 1 and 2 are used, which are closed at the right time. When the source
should be operational, close the contacts, and when the source should be turned off, open
them.
CAUTION !!! The connection diagram and implementation in wire feeders is individual
for each specific case, therefore, it is not given in this user manual for the power source.
See the operating instructions of the wire feeder for this.
In independent wire feeders by PATON, Feeder-15-2-250 (2-roll feeder), Feeder-15-4-
250 (4-roll feeder) and Feeder-15-4U (4-roll feeder) and the adaptation of the control
connectors is already provided, thus the assembly will require minimal effort. What you
need to do is just to fix the plug in connector
8 .
Do not forget about the supply of shielding gas. If you are a beginner and have no
experience in setting the optimal pressure for welding a particular product, then at the first
moment the gas pressure can be set higher than the optimal value of ~0.2 MPa. This will
have little effect on the process, only the shielding gas consumption will increase. But in the
future, to save money, follow the general recommendations for semi-automatic welding
operations. Also, start with the middle position of the wire feed speed controller on the
wire feeder (~ 4..5 m/min) and medium voltage at the source (~ 19V) for any diameter of
the installed wire (Ø0.6 ... 1.2Mm). It may not be optimal, but with correct operation and
even wire feed (without jerks), as well as correct connection, such a " wire feeder"
link should already provide welding. To achieve the best result, you need to adjust the
voltage at the source with buttons
2 and the wire feed speed on the wire feeder in
accordance with the general recommendations for carrying out the welding process with
semi-automatic units. Remember, these parameters are different for each specific case.
