Intoduction; Installation And Operator Instructions - Lincoln Electric SPEEDTEC 505SP BR Operator's Manual

Intoduction

SPEEDTEC 505SP BR inverter power source has been
designed to work with the wire feeders: PF40, PF42,
PF44, PF46, PF22, PF26, LF45, LF45S. The ArcLink
protocol is used for communication between the power
source and wire feeder.
The power source-wire feeder configuration allows the
welding:

GMAW (MIG/MAG)

FCAW-GS / FCAW-SS

SMAW (MMA)

GTAW (arc ignition using lift TIG).

Installation and Operator Instructions

Read this entire section before installation or operation of
the machine.
Location and Environment
This machine will operate in harsh environments.
However, it is important that simple preventative
measures are followed to assure long life and reliable
operation.

Do not place or operate this machine on a surface with
an incline greater than 15° from horizontal.

Do not use this machine for pipe thawing.

This machine must be located where there is free
circulation of clean air without restrictions for air
movement to and from the air vents. Do not cover the
machine with paper, cloth or rags when switched on.

Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the machine
should be kept to a minimum.

This machine has a protection rating of IP23. Keep it
dry when possible and do not place it on wet ground
or in puddles.

Locate the machine away from radio controlled
machinery. Normal operation may adversely affect
the operation of nearby radio controlled machinery,
which may result in injury or equipment damage.
Read the section on electromagnetic compatibility in
this manual.

Do not operate in areas with an ambient temperature
greater than 40°C.
Duty cycle and Overheating
The duty cycle of a welding machine is the percentage of
time in a 10 minute cycle at which the welder can operate
the machine at rated welding current.
Example: 60% duty cycle
Welding for 6 minutes.
Excessive extension of the duty cycle will cause the
thermal protection circuit to activate.

Input Supply Connection
Only a qualified electrician can connect the welding
machine to the supply network. Installation the outlet
plug to power lead and connecting the welding machine
had to be made in accordance with the appropriate
National Electrical Code and local regulations.
Check the input voltage, phase, and frequency supplied to
this machine before turning it on. Verify the connection of
grounding wires from the machine to the input source.
SPEEDTEC 505SP BR can only be connected to a
mating grounded receptacle.
The input voltage is 380V 50/60Hz 3phase or 440V 50-
60Hz 3phase and it can be selected using the input
voltage switch. For more information about input supply
refer to the technical specification section of this manual
and to the rating plate of the machine.
Make sure that the amount of mains power available from
the input supply is adequate for normal operation of the
machine. The type of protection and cable sizes are
indicated in the technical specification section of this
manual.
The welding machine can be supplied from a power
generator of output power at least 30% larger than input
power of the welding machine.
See "Technical Specifications" chapter.
When powering welder from a generator be sure to turn
off welding machine first, before generator is shut down,
in order to prevent damage to welding machine!
