Maintenance Description The pointing out of any difficulties The PROJECT 1800 HF is the latest evolution of direct current and their elimination welding generators, using INVERTER technology. This power- ful generator, based on latest generation IGBT, can be used for Troubleshooting table TIG welding of all metals, excepting aluminium and its alloys.
“EARTH” connection. may be connected. PROJECT 1800 HF works with circuit breaker or fusible pow- er switches. Table 2 shows the recommended load values for retardant sup- Usage limits (IEC 60974-1) ply fuses.
Usage norms CONTROL APPARATUS (Fig. A) Pos. 1 Supply switch. In the “O” position the welder is off. Pos. 2 Weld gas inlet coupling. Pos. 3 Welder cable. Pos. 4 Fast coupling TIG torch gas tube . Pos. 5 Fast coupling reverse polarity . Pos.
PART TO BE WELDED The part to be welded must always be connected to earth in or- der to reduce electromagnetic emission. Much attention must be afforded so that the earth connection of the part to be weld- ed does not increase the risk of accident to the user or the risk of damage to other electric equipment.
• With the machine switched off: TIG welding (Fig. D-E-F-G) - Connect the ground cable to the snap-on connector marked + (positive) (Pos. 5, Fig. A). In the TIG process welding is achieved by melting the two met- - Connect the relative ground clamp to the workpiece or al pieces to be joined, with the possible addition of material to the workpiece support in an area free of rust, paint, from the outside, using an arc ignited by a tungsten electrode.

TIG WELDING WITH HIGH FREQUENCY STRIKING (HF) 8) Open the gas cylinder and flow regulator (8-14 l/min). 9) Put the electrode at the point at which welding is to begin, put the TIG torch at an angle so that the edge of the gas nozzle is not on top of the piece to be welded, keeping a 2-3 mm gap between the point of the electrode and the piece to be welded (Fig.
Maintenance WARNING: Before doing any inspection of the inside of the generator, disconnect the equipment’s power supply and wait for about 5 minutes before working on the inside of the equip- ment, in order to allow the capacitative voltages to drop below the safe electric threshold.
