ADVANCEARC 400 • ADVANCEARC 500
Electrical Connection
- The ADVANCEARC 400 is designed to operate on a
3 Phase 32A 400V AC power supply.
- The ADVANCEARC 500 is designed to operate on a
3 Phase 36A 400V AC power supply.
Operating with a lower current rated supply circuit
will reduce the rated duty cycle performance.
Operating Environment
Adequate ventilation is required to provide proper
cooling for the ADVANCEARC 400/500. Ensure that
the machine is placed on a stable level surface where
clean cool air can easily flow through the unit. The
ADVANCEARC 400/500 has electrical components
and control circuit boards which may be damaged by
excessive dust and dirt, so a clean operating environ-
ment is important.
Basic Operation
1. ARC/ MMA Welding Operation
1.1 Connect the earth cable quick connector to the
negative welding power output socket (12) Con-
nect the earth clamp to the work piece. Contact
with the work piece must be firm. Contact with
clean, bare metal, with no corrosion, paint or
scale at the contact point.
Quick Start Guide - Welder Installation
1.2 Insert an electrode into the electrode holder and
connect the electrode holder and work lead to
the positive welding power output socket (11).
Note: This polarity connection configuration is valid for most
GP (General Purpose) MMA electrodes. There are variances to
this. If in doubt, check the electrode specifications or consult the
electrode manufacturer.
1.3 Connect the machine to suitable mains power
using the mains input power lead. Switch the
mains power switch to ‘on’ to power up the ma-
chine. Select MMA welding mode (6) or MMA
VRD welding mode (7) using the button (5).
1.4 Set the welding output current (3), hot start (10)
and arc force (9) using the control knobs. You
are now ready to weld!
2. Lift TIG Operation
Note: Lift TIG operation requires an optional valve control TIG
torch, and argon gas cylinder.
2.1 Connect the earth cable quick connector to the
positive welding power output socket (11). Con-
nect the earth clamp to the work piece. Contact
with the work piece must be firm contact with
clean, bare metal, with no corrosion, paint or
scale at the contact point.
2.2 Insert TIG torch power connection into the nega-
tive welding power output socket (12). Connect
valve TIG torch gas line to the regulator, ensur-
ing all connections are tight.
VRD Function
VRD stands for Voltage Reduction Device.
This is a safety system that reduces the output volt-
age from the welding terminals in MMA mode while
the welding output is not in use, to reduce the risk of
electric shock from the live output voltage.
The disadvantage of this system is that it makes the
striking of the arc more difficult, especially on restarts
and with some types of electrode such as low hydro-
gen electrodes.
Duty Cycle Rating
Welding duty cycle is the percentage of actual weld-
ing time that can occur in a ten minute cycle. E.g.
20% at 160 amps - this means the welder can weld
at 160 amps for 2 minutes and then the unit will need
to be rested for 8 minutes. All duty cycle ratings are
based on an ambient air temperature of 40°C with
50% humidity, which is the international standard for
such a rating. In an environment with temperatures
exceeding 40°C, the duty cycle will be less than stat-
ed. In ambient temperature less than 40°C, duty cycle
performance will be higher.
