Changing the welding parameters
The current generator leaves the factory with the best
welding parameters already set for standard welding.
However, certain applications could require the
following parameters being changed, which are shown
on the 'D1' display:
ARC, i.e. Arc-Force, is the extra current input that is
supplied during welding to prevent the rod sticking to
the part (a % value of the current setting with a limit at
150A)
HOT, i.e. Hot-Start, it is the extra current input that is
supplied during start to aid striking the electric arc (a
% value of the current setting with a limit of 150A).
SLU, i.e. Slope-Up (only for TIG mode), is the current
rise slope (value in seconds)
To change these parameters proceed as follows:
•
Press the key 'E1' for 4 seconds and keep it
depressed (after the first 2 seconds the process is
displayed that the parameters are to be changed
for); led 'L2' turns blue
•
Turn the 'E1' knob to select the parameter to change
•
Press the 'E1' knob to confirm the selected
parameter
•
Turn the 'E1' knob to change the value of the
selected parameter
•
Press the 'E1' knob to confirm the set value
•
Turn the knob 'E1' to select another parameter to
change, or turn it until the 'D1' display shows the
message 'OUT'
•
Press the 'E1' knob to confirm exiting the parameter
change menu and return to the main setting menu for
the welding current
Changing advanced parameters
In certain cases, the generator allows changing certain
special parameters that are shown on the 'D1' display:
POU, i.e. POWER, the setting in KVA of the available
power form the line, whether from the mains line or
the generator, thus avoiding an overload and the
various protections triggering
SLE, i.e. SLEEP, is the delay time in minutes before
the generator goes onto standby when welding is
finished, thus protecting the inverter and lengthening
its useful life
APO, i.e. AUTO POWER OFF, is the delay time in
minutes before the generator turns off automatically
when welding is finished, thus avoiding any useless
energy wastage and conserving the life of the
generator
Uo is the delay time in seconds after which the
generator reduces the output voltage to <15Vdc
(VRD function) making the workplace safer.
FAC, i.e. FACTORY, is the reset for all the settings
that have been reset to the original factory ones; for
safety purposes, this function is confirmed by
selecting the parameter 'YES' and pressing the 'E1'
knob to confirm, at this point the generator exits the
menu and returns to the factory settings
To change these parameters proceed as follows:
•
Press the 'E1' switch immediately after pressing the
'I1' ignition button for 8 seconds and keeping it
depressed; leds 'L1' and 'L2' turn blue.
•
Turn the 'E1' knob to select the parameter to change
•
Press the 'E1' knob to confirm the selected
parameter
•
Turn the 'E1' knob to change the value of the
selected parameter
•
Press the 'E1' knob to confirm the set value
•
Turn the 'E1' switch to select another parameter to
change or turn the knob until the 'D1' display shows
the message 'OUT'
•
Press the 'E1' knob to confirm exiting the parameter
change menu and return to the main setting menu for
the welding current

Troubleshooting

A list of the possible failures of a SKYLINE 1500
generator is reported here below with the indication of
the possible causes.
A) The generator does not turn on, check:
•
that the power lead is not damaged and is connected
to the mains supply
B) When the generator is turned on, it immediately turns
off again automatically, check:
•
that the mains voltage is not higher than 260V˜
C) The generator is on (led 'L1' green 'L2' white or red)
but it is not possible to weld, check:
•
that the torch lead and ground lead are not damaged
and are correctly fitted to the connectors
D) The generator stops and remains on overheating
alarm 'AL2' for a long time:
•
the air flow for the cooling of the components is not
hindered by dust or foreign objects placed in the
vicinity of the air vents.
