Installation and Operator Instructions
Technical description
Description
The system consists of a modern direct current
generator for the welding of metals, developed via
application of the inverter. This special technology allows
for the construction of compact light weight generators
with high performance. It's adjust ability, efficiency and
energy consumption make it an excellent work tool
suitable for coated electrode and GTAW (TIG) welding.
Duty cycle and overheating
Duty cycle is the percentage of 10 minutes at 40°C
ambient temperature that the unit can weld at its rated
output without overheating. If the unit overheats, the
output stops and the over temperature light comes On.
To correct the situation, wait fifteen minutes for unit to
cool. Reduce amperage, voltage or duty cycle before
starting to weld again (See page III).
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WORK CYCLE.
EXCEEDING THE WORK CYCLE SPECIFIED ON THE
DATA PLATE CAN DAMAGE THE POWER SOURCE
AND INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY.
Volt - ampere curves
Volt-ampere curves show the maximum voltage and
amperage output capabilities of the welding power
source. Curves of other settings fall under curves shown
(See page III).
Installation
Important: before connecting,
equipment, read safety precautions.
Connecting the power source to the mains
electricity supply
SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT MAY
RESULT IF THE POWER SOURCE IS SWITCHED OFF
DURING WELDING OPERATIONS.
Check that the power socket is equipped with the fuse
indicated in the features label on the power source. All
power source models are designed to compensate
power supply variations. For variations of + 15% a
welding current variation of +- 0,2% is created.
BEFORE INSERTING THE MAINS
PLUG, IN ORDER TO AVOID THE
FAIL OF POWER SOURCE, CHECK
IF THE MAINS CORRESPONDS TO
THE WISHED MAIN SUPPLY.
WARNING
This equipment does not comply with IEC 61000-3-12. If
it is connected to a public low voltage system, it is the
responsibility of the installer or user of the equipment to
ensure, by consultation with the distribution network
operator if necessary, that the equipment may be
connected.
THIS CLASS A EQUIPMENT IS NOT INTENDED FOR

On - off switch: This switch has two positions:
ON = I and OFF = O.
The welder is designed to be worked from a
generator.
Before connecting the welder to the generator it is
important to establish that the generator has the
following technical requirement:
the 230V 50/60 Hz socket can supply sufficient
power required for welding, see label on welder.
the
socket
supplies
between 180 and 280 V.
the socket supplies peak voltage between 230 and
420 V.
the socket supplies alternate voltage with a
frequency between 50 and 60 Hz.
It is advisable to follow the above instructions otherwise
the welder could be damaged.
Power source positioning
Special installation may be required where gasoline or
volatile liquids are present. Contact the competent
authorities. When positioning equipment, ensure that the
following guidelines are followed:
The operator must have unobstructed access to
controls and equipment connections.
Check that the power cable and fuse of the socket
for power source connection is suited to current
requirements of the latter.
Do not position equipment in confined, closed
places. Ventilation of the power source is extremely
important. Avoid dusty or dirty locations, where dust
or other debris could be aspirated by the system.
Equipment (including connecting leads) must not
obstruct corridors or work activities of other
personnel.
Position the power source securely to avoid falling or
overturning. Bear in mind the risk of falling of
equipment situated in overhead positions.

Fit the selected electrode to the electrode clamp.
Connect the earth lead connector to the negative (-)
quick- connection terminal (Ref. 6 - Picture 1 Page

welding zone.
Connect the electrode clamp connector to the
positive (+) quick-connection terminal (Ref. 5 -
Picture 1 Page 6.).
Use the above connection for straight polarity
welding; for reverse polarity turn the connection.
