Page 5: General
General Principle The TP 2500 and TP 3500 power sources are a further highlight of the new generation of inverter power sources. Using powerful electronics, a unique high-performance, lightweight welding system has been crea- ted. The power source works on resonance in- verter principles and therefore offers a number of advantages: Intelligent control for stable arc and... -

Page 8: Before Commissioning
Proper use The power source is intended exclusively for MMA welding and TIG welding in conjunction with system components from Fronius. Utilisation for any other purpose, or in any other manner, shall be deemed to be not in ac- cordance with the intended purpose. -
Page 9: Changing Mains Voltage (Only Mvm Versions)
Changing mains voltage (only MVm versions) General remarks MVm machines (MultiVoltage manual) are suitable for operation with a mains voltage of 380 - 460V and a mains voltage of 200 - 240V. NOTE! Machines are supplied with the 380 - 460V setting as standard. If the mains voltage range needs to be reset, this must be done manually. -
Page 10: Single-Phase Operation
200V - 240V Single-phase op- MVm machines can be used in single phase operation (e.g. 1x230V) if required. However, eration this reduces the welding current range. Please see the "Technical Data" section for the rel- evant performance data. Fit the mains cable and mains plug in accordance with the appli- cable national standards. -

Placing the gas nozzle down Arc ignites when electrode is Raising the gas nozzle, arc ig- touched down on workpiece nites Torch settings when welding begins TIG Comfort Stop The "TIG Comfort Stop" function (TCS) is only available with the TP 2500/3500 TIG power function source. - Page 16 The downslope depends on the welding current selected and cannot be adjusted. The du- ration of the downslope between the following values must be extrapolated. Downslope with low welding current (10 A):0.4 seconds Downslope with maximum welding current (250 A):10 seconds Gas post-flow time: The gas post-flow time depends on the welding current selected and cannot be adjusted.

Page 18: Arc-Force Dynamic Parameter
Arc-force dynam- The purpose of the arc-force dynamic para- ic parameter meter is to influence the short-circuit ampe- rage at the moment of droplet transfer. If the rod electrode has a tendency to stick, adjust the arc-force dynamic parameter to a higher level. -
Page 19: Pulsing Frequency Parameter
Pulsing frequen- The frequency parameter is only available on the TP 2500/3500 TIG power source and is cy parameter used to set the frequency of the pulsed arc. The pulsed arc frequency is one of the most important criterion for the TIG pulsed arc weld- ing properties. -
Page 20: Voltage Reduction Device (Vrd Versions Only)
Voltage Reduction Device (VRD versions only) General A Voltage Reduction Device (VRD) is an optional safety device for reducing the voltage. As far as possible, VRD prevents output voltages at the current sockets that may pose a danger to persons. Safety principle Welding circuit resistance is greater than the minimum human body resistance (gre-... -

Troubleshooting Safety WARNING! An electric shock can be fatal. Before opening the device Turn the mains switch to the "O" position Unplug the machine from the mains Prevent it from being switched on again Using a suitable measuring instrument, check to make sure that electrically charged components (e.g. - Page 22 No welding current Device switched on, indicator for the selected welding process is lit, error indicator lit Cause: Duty cycle exceeded - device overloaded - fan running Remedy: Keep within duty cycle Cause: Thermostatic automatic circuit breaker has switched off the device Remedy: Wait until the power source comes back on automatically at the end of the cooling phase (do not switch off the device - the fan will cool it down)

Page 25: Care, Maintenance And Disposal
Care, maintenance and disposal General Under normal operating conditions, the power source requires only a minimum of care and maintenance. However, some important points must be noted to ensure that the welding system remains in a usable condition for many years. WARNING! An electric shock can be fatal. -
Page 26: Technical Data
Technical data Safety NOTE! An inadequately dimensioned electrical installation can cause serious damage. The mains lead and its fuse protection must be rated accordingly. The technical data shown on the rating plate applies. Generator-pow- The power sources in the TP 2500/3500 series are totally generator-compatible, provided ered operation that the maximum apparent power delivered by the generator is at least 14 kVA for the TP 2500 or 22 kVA for the TP 3500. -
