The manufacturer does not accept any liability in relation to damages caused to objects or harm caused
to people as the result of incorrect and/or dangerous use of the machine.
MAINTENANCE / RECOMMENDATIONS
• Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified person. A yearly maintenance is recommended.
• Ensure the machine is unplugged from the mains, and then wait 2 minutes before carrying out maintenance
work. Inside, voltages and currents are high and dangerous.
• Remove regularly the casing and any excess of dust. Take this opportunity to have the electrical connections
checked by a qualified person, with an insulated tool.
• Regularly check the condition of the power supply cable. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its after sales service or an equally qualified person to prevent danger.
• Ensure the vents of the device are not blocked to allow adequate air circulation.
• Do not use this equipment to thaw pipes, to charge batteries, or to start any engine.
INSTALLATION – PRODUCT OPERATION
Only qualified personnel authorised by the manufacturer should perform the installation of the welding equipment.
During the installation, the operator must ensure that the machine is disconnected from the mains. Connecting gene-
rators in serial or in parallel are forbidden.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The GYSARC are Inverter technology based welding machines, portable, single phase, fan cooled, for electrode welding
(MMA) in direct current (DC). These machines can weld all types of electrodes : rutile, basic/low hydrogen, stainless and
cast iron. It is recommended to use the welding cables supplied with the unit in order to obtain the optimum product
settings.
POWER SWITCH
• This machine is fitted with a 16A socket type CEE7/7 which must be connected to a single-phase 230V (50 - 60 Hz)
power supply fitted with three wires and one earthed neutral. The absorbed effective current (I1eff) is indicated on the
machine, for optimal use. Check that the power supply and its protection (fuse and/or circuit breaker) are compatible
with the current needed by the machine. In some countries, it may be necessary to change the plug to allow the use
at maximum settings.
• - For the GYSARC 160 and 200, preferably use a 32A socket protected by a 32A circuit breaker for use intensive. The
appliance must be placed in such a way that the power plug is accessible.
• The GYSARC 200 is equipped with the Protec 400 (P400) function: the unit goes into protection (protection light
flashes) if the supply voltage is higher than 265 V. Normal operation is resumed as soon as the supply voltage returns
to its nominal range.
• To start the unit, press the on/off button located on the backof the device.
CONNECTION TO A GENERATOR
These products are not protected against the regurlarly overvoltage provided by the power generator. It is therefore not
recommended to connect them on this type of power supply.
COATED ELECTRODE WELDING (MMA)
CONNECTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
• Connect the cables, electrode holder and earth clamp to the connectors,
• Follow the welding polarities and power recommendations indicated on the electrode boxes.
• Remove the electrode from the electrode holder when the machine is not in use.
• The machine has 3 features exclusive to Inverters:
