Chapter 2. Transport And Installation - GALAGAR Gar AC/DC 180 Technical Instruction Manual

The welding current is adjusted with a wheel
located on the upper part of the appliance. This
system activates a spindle which permits the
movement of the dispersion
transformer. A dial on the front of the appliance
gives the approximate welding intensities which
should be used, as well as the correct electrode
diameter.

CHAPTER 2. TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION

Knocks and sudden movements must be
avoided when transporting the equipment.
transport position will be shown by arrows on the
packaging. The packaging protected from water.
If the equipment is packed the wheels and
handle must be fitted before connecting it to the
mains. On the inside of the packing box you will find
everything necessary to assemble the equipment. (See
Fig. 2)
All the Gar AC/DC series equipment can
easily be transported with a handle and two wheels
which enable it to be moved easily.

2.1. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY INSTALLATION.
The electrical installation of the equipment
making up the system must be carried out by
specialised personnel according to the standards in
force.
The location must
requirements:
- Place: Dry and ventilated, far enough away
from the welding area in order to prevent the dust
and pollution caused by the welding process from
getting into the equipment. Never work in the rain.

The set of accessories required for the correct
use of the equipment without risks are:
Welding shield. Gloves. Welding clip and ground.

The distribution panel where the machine has
to be connected, must be comprised of the following
elements:
DIFFERENTIAL SWITCH (ID): Three-pole or two-pole
with minimum sensitivity of 300 mA. The aim of this
switch is to protect the personnel from direct or
indirect contact with electrical parts under voltage.
The differential switch is selected according to the
characteristics plate.
AUTOMATIC SWITCH (IA): Three-pole or two-pole.
The instrument will be chosen according to the
characteristics plate. We advise choosing a slow type
Intensity-Time characteristic (Curve G), as false
trippings could occur due to transitory overloads.
All the equipment of the GAR AC/DC series
have two voltages 220/380V, therefore, it must be
checked whether the voltage chosen on the
equipment coincides with the mains voltage.
The standard equipment leave the factory with
the voltage selector at 380 V., in order to protect it
against negligence in the connection. To change it to
220 V follow the instructions given on figure 3. (The
procedure will be the same in special voltage cases):
