Thank you for your choice ! Before installing and using the product or before maintenance, please read carefully the following safety recommendations in order to avoid accidents to the users and damage of the welding process. GYS cannot be held responsible for the damages occurring to persons or belongings, following the use of the machine in the following circumstances:...
CE MARKING GYS testifies that this product has been designed and manufactured in conformity with the following European standards : - Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC in application of the norm EN 62135-1 - Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive EMC 2004/108/EC in application of the norm EN 62135-2 - Machines directive 2006/95/EC in application of the norm EN 60204-1 2 –...
3- INSTALLATION Before use Several verifications are necessary before using the unit to ensure good performance of the machine. Here are the verifications to do : Check the electrical line voltage : it should be 400V, 3 phases, with a 32 A delayed circuit breaker, curve D (or fuse of aM type).
4- EQUIPMENT OPERATION Key definition - Pressing this key allows to select the tool that will be used : either clamp or single sided gun. For the BP.LCX ④ ④ ④ ④ Saving parameters machine, pressing this key changes the mode from C clamp to C clamp adjustment, X clamp, X clamp adjustment, and finally single sided gun.

Use of the pneumatic clamps When using a pneumatic clamp, always disconnect the earth cable used in single sided gun mode from the vehicle. C clamp Clamp adjustment The key allows to switch from one tool to the next, and also allows to enter the clamp adjustment mode.

If the input air pressure is too low to reach the requested electrode force, the machine will beep and display, before the welding spot, the following error message “Pressure too low”. Pressing again on the button allows to force the execution of the welding spot, which will be performed with the air pressure available.
Page 9
X Clamp Clamp adjustment The key allows to switch from one tool to the next, and also allows to enter the clamp adjustment mode. The clamp adjustment mode allows to close the clamp and apply the selected electrode force, without delivery of any current. The clamp remains closed as long as the button on the clamp is pressed.
Page 10
In any case, a message is displayed at the end of the welding spot showing the measured welding current and electrode force. This message is displayed on the screen until a key is pressed on the control panel, or until a new welding spot is performed, by pressing the B button on the clamp.
Use of the single sided gun ♦ Connect the copper plate to the generator’s earth cable. ♦ Firmly fix the earth plate as near as possible to the welding area. In case of monopoint welding with the single sided gun, always fix the earth plate on the sheet that is not in contact with the welding electrode (such that the welding current will flow the 2 sheets to be welded).
Error management Different events might cause the appearance of error messages. They can be classified in three categories : - The messages that warn the user, of overheating, or a lack of electrode force or welding current, etc… These messages appear on the screen, and remain until a key is pressed.
SD memory card, such that they can be transferred to any standard PC. GYS provides a software to read the SD card, and edit reports. This GYSPOT software is stored in the SD card, together with a copy of the user manual.

Identification mode : If the identification mode is set to "ON", then you should enter all required fields of the repair order to the welding points if the machine will issue the "defect identification. To enable and disable the identification mode, insert an SD card reader in the identification of BP instead of the SD card that contains the programs.

500. the job number and the user id of the file are displayed. ♦ No. The page is shown in the top left. ♦ All jobs are stored in the file catalog.GYS. ♦ It contains the total number of job, name of each job and user id (max 100 jobs).
SD memory card SD card reference : 050914 This card allows the user to transfer files from the machine to a PC to : collect log reports in order to keep traceability of his work, and possibly show it to an insurance company. Update welding parameters, add new menu languages.

Purge of the SD card A purge operation on the SD card will erase all the reports previously saved on the SD card. To purge the SD card, insert the SD card in the reader of your PC and, in the menus, click on Options and Purge SD Card.
Regularly drain the dehumidifier filter placed on the rear side of the unit. Generator maintenance The maintenance and the repair of the current generator must be done by an appointed and GYS trained technician. Any maintenance operation done by another person will cancel the warranty conditions. GYS cannot be held responsible for...

Replacement or adjustment of X-Clamp arms When changing the arms, place the clamp on its stand, and proceed as follows: The machine must be switched off. Screw off the tightening screw of the arms nuts. Take the other arms, put some grease all around the arm’s extremity (use special “copper grease”). Put the arms back against mechanical stop.

Replacement or adjustment of C-Clamp arms : Proceed as follows : Unscrew the handle (A) Unscrew the screw maintaining the arm and the clamp (B). Remove the arm form the clamp (C). Take another arm and insert it in the clamp; put some copper grease on the extremity of the arm Screw to assemble arm and clamp (B) Screw the handle again...
