DC constant voltage (wire) welder, 2) a DC manual (stick) welder, or 3) an AC welder with reduced open-circuit volt- age. In most situations, use of a DC, constant voltage wire welder is recommended. And, do not work alone! D Disconnect input power or stop engine before installing or servicing this equipment.

3-4. Connecting Welding Gun 3-5. Installing Wire Guide And Drive Roll Tools Needed: 3/8 in OM-223 839 Page 8 US Gun Euro Gun 1−2 Correct Alignment Incorrect Alignment Gun Securing Knob Gun Block Gun Outlet Wire Guide Loosen knob, insert gun into block. Position outlet wire guide as close as possible to drive rolls without touching.
3-6. Circuit Protection 3-7. Connecting Wire Feeder to Power Source Circuit Breaker CB1 Circuit breaker CB1 is located in- side the wire feeder as shown. CB1 Protects the auxiliary 24 volt AC circuit from overload. Make connections as shown. Be sure connections are tight.
3-8. Changing Cable Between Wire Feeder and XMS 4000 Tools Needed: 3-9. Installing Wheels On Wire Feeder (Optional) Tools Needed: OM-223 839 Page 10 Y Disconnect power before Connect weld cable to terminals be- hind access door. Remove screws securing door, clamp and collar.
4-2. Switching On Unit And Recalling Factory Parameters Install power source and wire feeder ac- cording to supplied Owner’s Manuals. Turn On welding power source. Displays D1 and D2 will show the wire feeder software version. Welding system is ready to weld with the factory-set default values or or the values and parameters of the last weld.
4-4. Trigger Mode Selection Always check and set a trigger mode. If trigger mode is undefined for a weld- ing process, select the desired mode. Trigger mode can be set for Manual MIG, Synergic MIG, Synergic Pulsed MIG, and Synegic Double Pulsed MIG welding to change when output power is present at the weld connectors.
E2 changes the action on the memory posi- tion. When D2 shows Ld (load), you can load in the welder the parameters in the memory position selected by D1. When D2 shows Sto (storage), you can memorize the actual welding parameters in the memory position selected by D1.
4-9. Preparing Unit For MIG Welding To select MIG welding process, pro- ceed as follows: Follow safety precautions according to Section 1. Prepare unit according to Section 3. Using a cable with a proper adapter, connect gun to the MIG gun connector.
4-10. Selecting Manual MIG Welding Set Manual MIG welding process on the power source. L6 is On. In Manual MIG mode, the operator may need to adjust main welding parameters for specific arc characteristics. Wire feed speed and arc voltage will appear on D1 and D2. During Setting : D1 value is default voltage setting of 18.5 V (range is 10 V to 50 V).
4-11. Selecting Synergic MIG Welding Set Synergic MIG welding process on the power source. L7 is ON. In Synergic MIG mode, the operator may need to adjust welding data (wire type, wire diameter, and gas type) and only one weld parameter.
4-12. Selecting Synergic Pulsed MIG Welding Set Synergic Pulsed MIG welding process on the power source. L7 is On. Synergic Pulsed MIG welding is a high quality welding process that produces very little spatter. This process works well on thin metals such as stainless steel and aluminum.
SECTION 5 − MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING 5-1. Routine Maintenance Replace Damaged Or Unreadable Labels 5-2. Help Displays The XMC 44 microprocessor controls all internal parameters of the units. In case of failure, D1 and D2 will show the following Error Signals. HLP 100 Indicates that the 24 volt AC supplied to the unit is low.
5-3. Troubleshooting Problem Unit is completely inoperative. Check continuity of Power switch S1, and replace if necessary. Reset circuit breaker CB1 if open. Check input power source. See welding power source Technical Manual. Turn Power switch On. Wire does not feed, unit completely inop- erative erative.
