INSTALLATION.
This equipment must be used solely for welding
operations.
It is essential to pay especially close attention to the
chapter on SAFETY PRECAUTIONS in this
Instruction Manual, par. 1.
The equipment must be installed by qualified
personnel.
All connections must be carried out in compliance
with current standards and in full observance of
current safety laws.
3.1
Installation (fig. 2).
Place the Wire Feeder in the housing provided on
the Robot arm.
Install the torch (7) on the Robot arm and connect it
to the Wire Feeder (8), including any pipes of the
cooling circuit.
Connect the Power Source (21) to the Wire Feeder
(8) by means of the extension (2).
Make sure that the wire diameter matches the
diameter shown on the roller. To eventually replace
the rollers follow the procedure in par. 3.2.
NOTE: For aluminium wires use "A" type rollers.
Mount the wire coil (6) and insert the wire in sheath
(10) into the wire feeder group inside the Wire
Feeder (8) and in the torch sheath (7). Make sure the
welding wire passes through the roller groove.
Complete the remaining connections of the other
Welding System equipments, consulting the relative
Instruction Manuals in par. "Installation".
Before connecting the Power Source power cord,
make sure the mains voltage matches that of the
Power Source and that the earth socket is in good
working order.
Power up the Welding System using the mains
switch of the Power Source (see Power Source
Instruction Manual).
Remove the tapered gas nozzle from the torch.
Unscrew the contact tip.
Press the BC key (Wire Advance) on the Wire
Feeder Unit (8) front panel and release it only when
the wire emerges from the Torch.
CAUTION!!
Welding
puncture wounds. Never aim
the torch at parts of the body
when mounting the welding
electrode.

Screw the contact tip back on, making sure that the
hole diameter is the same as that of the wire used.
Replace the tapered gas nozzle.
3.2
Replacing the rollers (Fig. 3).
Unblock and raise the pressure regulation A knobs;
the wire press rollers B lifts;
Unscrew the stoppers C, open the cover D and
remove the rollers E.
Insert the new rollers and perform the described
operations in reverse way.

3.3
Preparing CAN-1 communication line.
The CAN-1 line must be configured according to
the plant design; in particular, the line termination
resistors must be inserted in the equipments
placed at the ends of each line.
3.3.1
CAN-1 on Wire Feeder unit.
This configuration is realized with DIP1 located on
the Motor Control board of the Wire Feeder;
normally DIP1 is already set by the factory.
DIP1-1 = DIP1-2 = OFF >resistors not inserted;
DIP1-1 = DIP1-2 = ON
correct condition, the Wire Feeder
is almost always at the end of the
line.
NOTE: Sections 1 and 2 of DIP1 must always be in
position equal to each other (both ON or
both OFF).
