D - E - Quick-fitting sockets: connect any hoses leaving a water-
cooled torch. NOTE: Match the hose and socket colours
correctly.
F - Gas hose fitting: connect the gas hose of the power
source/wire feeder connection.
G - Connector: connect the connector of the power source/wire
feeder connection extension cable.
T - Socket: connect the patch connector of the power source/wire
feeder connection power cable.
U - U-Bar: to fix the extension to the spool support.
V - K - Quick-fitting sockets: connect the red and blue tubes of
the wire feeder/ power source connection. NOTE: Match the
hose and socket colours correctly.
5 START-UP
Position the wire feeder on the power source.
Connect the wire feeder to the power source via the connection.
NOTE: avoid coiling the connection to reduce to a minimum the
inductive effects that could affect the results in synergic MIG/MAG
welding. Mount the plug on the power cord, being especially
carefully to connect the yellow/green conductor to the earth pole.
Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds to the rated voltage
of the welding machine.
Size the protective fuses based on the data listed on the technical
specifications plate.
Connect the gas hose of the welding machine to the pressure
regulator of the cylinder.
Mount the MIG torch on the fitting C.
Connect the earth cable to the socket L and the earth clamp to the
workpiece. Make sure that the groove of the rollers matches the
wire diameter used.
To replace if necessary: open the spool casing and the side door,
mount the wire coil and slip the wire into the feeder and torch
sheath, block the wire press rollers with the knob and adjust the
pressure. Turn on the machine.
Select the suitable synergic curve, following the instructions given
in the service functions (PROCESS PARAMS) paragraph.
Remove the gas nozzle and unscrew the current nozzle of the
torch. Press the torch button until the wire comes out. BE
CAREFUL to keep your face away from the end lance while
the wire is coming out, screw up the current nozzle and fit the
gas nozzle.
Open the canister adapter and adjust the gas flow to 8 – 10 l/min.
During welding, the display screen B displays the actual work
current and voltage. The displayed values may be slightly different
to those set. This can depend on numerous different factors - type
of torch, thickness different to nominal thickness, distance
between current nozzle and the material being welded, and the
welding speed.
After welding, the current and voltage values remain stored on the
display B, where the word HOLD is displayed. To display the set
values, the knob A will have to be moved slightly, while, by pushing
the torch button without welding, the display screen B shows the
empty voltage value and a current value of 0.
If, while welding the maximum current and voltage values are
exceeded, said values are not stored on the display and the word
HOLD is not displayed.
NOTE If 0.6mm diameter wires are used the welding torch sheath
should be replaced with one of suitable internal diameter.
If the internal diameter of the sheath is too big it does not
guarantee smooth wire feeding.
6 DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS SHOWN ON THE DISPLAY
SCREEN B.
When the machine is switched on, for a few moments the display
screen B displays: the article number of the machine, the version
and development date of the software, and the release number of
the synergic curves.
Immediately after switch-on, the display screen B shows: the
synergic curve used, the welding mode 2T or 4T, SPOT function,
if active, the welding current, the speed of the welding wire in
metres/min, the welding voltage and the recommended thickness.
To increase or decrease the welding parameters, simply adjust by
means of knob A. The values all change together in a synergic
way.
To change the welding voltage V, simply press the knob A for less
than 2 seconds. The display screen will show (Arc Length) an
adjustment bar with central 0. The value can be changed by
means of the knob A from -9.9 to 9.9. To exit from the function,
briefly press the knob A.
6.1 SERVICE FUNCTIONS (PROCESS PARAMS) SHOWN ON
THE DISPLAY SCREEN B.
To access these functions, we must start from the main display
page and press the knob A for at least 2 seconds.
To enter the function, simply select it by means of the knob A and
press it for less than 2 seconds.
To return to the main display page, press the knob A for at least 2
seconds.
The functions that can be selected are:
•
Synergic curve (Wire Selection).
To choose the synergic curve, by means of the knob A, it is
necessary to select and press on the curve presented by the
display screen B. Simply select the curve of interest and
confirm the choice by pressing the knob A for less than 2
seconds.
After pressing the knob A return is made to the previous
display page (PROCESS PARAMS).
• Welding mode (Start Mode).
Mode 2T, the machine starts welding when the torch button is
pressed and stops when this is released. Mode 4T, to start
welding, press and release the torch button. To complete
welding, press and release again. To choose the welding start
mode 2T or 4T, select one of the 2 modes by means of the knob
A and press the knob A for less than 2 seconds to confirm the
choice. This operation always returns us to the previous display
page (PROCESS PARAMS).
• Spot and pause time (Spot).
If we select the spot ON time, the Spot Time function appears
on the display screen. If we select this, we can adjust it from 0.3
to 25 seconds by means of the adjustment bar. Besides this
function, the display screen also shows Pause Time. If we select
this, by means of the adjustment bar, we can regulate the pause
time between one welding point or section and another. The
pause time varies between 0 (OFF) and 5 seconds.
To access the Spot Time and Pause Time functions, press the
knob A for less than 2 seconds. Adjustment is always made by
means of the knob A. To confirm, simply press it for less than 2
seconds. Once the choice has been confirmed, return is always
made to the display page (PROCESS PARAMS).
