GYS PEARL 150-2 Manual De Instrucciones página 8

DESCRIPTION
Thank you for chosing this machine. To get the best use from your machine, please read the following carefully :
The PEARL 150.2 is a semi-automatic welding unit; it is ventilated for semi-automatic welding (MIG or MAG) It is
capable of welding steel, stainless steel and aluminium, and with it's "synergic wire speed" function adjustment is
easy and fast.
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
The absorbed current (I1eff) is indicated on the device at maximum usage. Check that the power supply and its
protection (fuse and/or circuit breaker) are compatible with the current needed for use. In some countries, it might be
necessary to change the plug to allow maximum performance. The device must be installed so that the mains socket
is accessible.
Do not use an extension cable with a diameter of less than 1.5mm². PEARL 150.2 is delivered with a 16amp plug (TYPE
CEE7-7), and the machine features a highly efficient PFC and Flexible Voltage technology.
This machine must be connected to an EARTHED power supply 230V, 50/60 Hz, and protected by a 16A circuit breaker .
- If the voltage is <185V or >265V, the machine will not start
- Protected against surges - PEARL will shut off automatically in case of overvoltage

3 : European standard torch connection.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC WELDING FOR STEEL / STAINLESS STEEL (MAG MODE)
The PEARL 150.2 can weld Steel wire 0.6/0.8mm, and Stainless Steel of 0.8mm
The machine is fitted with Ø 0.8mm Steel or Stainless Steel wire. The contact tube, the groove of the roller and the
sleeve of the torch are all compatible with 0.8mm wire. Should you wish to weld 0,6 wire, use a torch of maximum 3m
long. You will also need to change the contact tip (Fig II A). The wire reel is reversable (0.6 / 0.8mm) and will need to
be inserted so that the figure 0.6 is visible.
For use with Steel, the gas requirement is argon + CO2. (Ar+CO2).. The proportion of CO2 required will vary depending
on the use. For Stainless Steel, use the combination of 2% CO2 For specific gas requirements, please contact your gas
distributor. The gas flow in steel is between 8 and 12 Litres/minute depending on the environment.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC WELDING FOR ALUMINIUM (MIG MODE)
This machine is capable of welding Aluminium wire of 0.8 and 1.0mm
For use with aluminium, the gas requirement is pure argon (Ar). For the specific gas requirements please contact
your distributor. The gas flow in Aluminium is between 15 and 25 Litres/minute depending on the environment, and
the experience of the welder.
The differences between use with Steel and Aluminium are :
- Rollers : Use specific rollers for Aluminium welding.
- Pressure : Adjust the pressure of the drive rolls to prevent the wire being crushed.
- Capillary Tube : Only use a capilliary tube for welding with Steel or Stainless Steel.
- Torch : Use a special Aluminium Torch with a teflon sheath to reduce friction. DO NOT cut the liner close to the joint,
it is used to guide the wire from the the rollers.
- Contact tube : Use a special aluminium contact tube specific to the diameter of wire being used.
GASLESS WIRE WELDING
The PEARL 150.2 can weld gasless wire up to 0.9mm, if the polarity is reversed (fig C) respecting a maximum pres-
sure of 5Nm. For parameters of use, please refer to the instructions indicated on page 7. Welding gasless wire with a
standard nozzle can lead to overheating and deterioration of the torch. It is recommended to use a "No Gas" nozzle
(ref. 041868), or remove the genuine nozzle (Fig. III D).
