Connection And Preparation Of Equipment For Gtaw (Tig Lift) Welding - Air Liquide OERLIKON CITOARC 1900C FORCE Safety Instruction For Use And Maintenance

7. Adjust the welding parameters (Hot Start and Arc Force) to
the required values (Section11).
8. Remote control connection. To use the remote control, con-
nect the remote control connector to the socket on the front
panel. In this condition the current can be adjusted indepen-
dently of the setting made on the generator.
9. Switch the generator on.
3.4 CONNECTION AND PREPARATION OF EQUIPMENT FOR
GTAW (TIG LIFT) WELDING .
• SWITCH THE WELDING MACHINE OFF BEFORE CARRYING
OUT THE CONNECTIONS.
Connect the welding accessories carefully in order to avoid power
losses or dangerous gas leaks. Carefully comply with the safety
rules.
1. Select TIG LIFT welding mode (Section 9 ).
2. Fit the required electrode and gas-guide nozzle on the elec-
trode holder torch. (Check the condition of electrode tip and
protrusion).
3. Connect the earthing lead connector to the quick-release
positive terminal (+) and the clamp near the welding zone.
4. Connect the torch power cable connector to the quick-re-
lease negative terminal (-).
5. Connect the gas pipe to the regulator on the gas bottle.
6. Adjust the welding current to the required value (Section 12).
7. Adjust the welding parameters (upslope and downslope) to
the required values.
8. Open the gas cock.
9. Remote control connection.
To use the remote control, connect the remote control con-
nector to the socket on the front panel. In this condition the
current can be adjusted independently of the setting made on
the generator.
10. Switch the generator on.

1. REMOTE CONNECTOR (Rif.1 - Picture 2 Page 4.) : the re-
mote control can be connected by means of this connector.
With this accessory the welding current can be varied with
continuity without leaving the work zone. Remote control
connection is signalled on the display for a few seconds
(Rif.4 - Picture 1 Page 4.) by the message "rEn".
2. VRD FUNCTION INDICATOR (Green) (Rif.2 - Picture 1 Page
4.): this indicator light up whem VRD function is activated.
3. ALARM INDICATOR (Yellow) (Rif.3 - Picture 1 Page 4.): this
indicator lights up when the generator does not work due to
an alarm. Given below are the possible alarms signalled on
the display, their meaning and operations to be carried out to
restore generator operation.

4. DIGITAL DISPLAY (Rif.4 - Picture 1 Page 4.): indicates the
set welding current, in particular:
- During welding it indicates the generator output current.
- In the welding parameter modification phase it indicates the
actual value of the quantity selected.
- In alarm conditions it identifies the type of alarm activated.
5. HOT START/ARC FORCE RATE INDICATOR (Rif.5 - Pic-
ture 1 Page 4.) : this indicator lights up when the HOT
START or ARC FORCE percentage value set for the MMA
welding process is being displayed.
6. UP/DOWNSLOPE TIME INDICATOR (Rif.6 - Picture 1 Page
4.): this indicator lights up when the up/down time (in sec-
onds) of the current slopes associated with the LIFT TIG
welding process is being displayed.

CAUSES - CURE
Power supply voltage, main switch off or no
phase.
Restore the correct generator power supply.
Fault in supply/control stage.
Contact Technical Assistance.
Power converter overtemperature due to exces-
sive work cycle.
Stop welding and leave the generator on until the
alarm ceases.
Generator output terminals short-circuited.
Eliminate the short circuit.
Fault in output stage.
Contact Technical Assistance.
Inverter stage fault.
Contact Technical Assistance.
Malfunction in generator control stage ("XX" is a
number identifying the type of fault).
