4.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a weld- ing area.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Invertec V300-PRO is a 300 amp arc welding power source that utilizes single or three phase input power to produce either constant voltage or constant current outputs. The V300-PRO is designed for 60 Hz supply systems. The welding response of the Invertec has been optimized for GMAW, SMAW, TIG and FCAW processes.
INPUT VOLTAGE SETUP CAUTION DO NOT ATTEMPT TO POWER THIS UNIT FROM THE AUXILIARY POWER SUPPLY OF AN ENGINE WELDER. • Special protection circuits may operate, causing loss of output. • The supply from engine welders often has exces- sive voltage peaks because the voltage waveform is usually triangular shaped instead of sinusoidal.

remote control adapter and K857 remote control are required for remote output control). 5. Set the meter polarity switch on the rear of the Invertec to coincide with wire feeder polarity used. The wire feeder will now display the welding volt- age.
LN-9 GMA Connection Instructions 1. Turn the Invertec power switch “off”. 2. Connect the K596 control cable assembly from the LN-9 GMA to the Invertec control cable connector. The control cable connector is located at the rear of the Invertec. 3.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. • Do not touch electrically live parts or electrode with skin or wet clothing. • Insulate yourself from work and ground. • Always wear dry insulating gloves. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FUMES AND GASES can be danger- ous.

CV FCAW This setting has been optimized for Innershield ® and Outershield electrodes. CV GMAW Short circuit, glob and spray transfer solid wire and gas welding are done in this mode. Low end procedures, less than 17V, may operate better in the FCAW mode.
Meter Polarity Switch The wire feeder polarity switch is located at the rear of the machine. The switch provides a work connection for wire feeder voltmeters. Place the switch in the position of the electrode polarity indicated by the decal. The switch does not change the welding polarity.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE Overload Protection The machine is electrically protected from producing high output currents. Should the output current exceed 340-360A, an electronic protection circuit will reduce the current to approximately 150A. The machine will continue to produce this low current until the protection circuit is reset.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Trouble Not output but fan operates and meter is on. Poor welding, weld settings drift, or output power is low. Main fuses open or Switch PC boards overheated. Output turns on momentarily then switches off and repeats. Machine is connected for 380 VAC or higher input voltage.
TEST PROCEDURES Step Test Output pilot circuit 223A to 210 (set S4 on) 302 (pos) to 275D (neg) Protection PC 313 (neg) to 311 (pos) board output (set S4 on) Static capacitor Compare voltage across balance (set S4 terminals 9 & 12 of each off) Switch PC Board.
