Page 12: Installation
2. Installation Positioning the R1500 • Site the R1500 on a clean dry surface, preferably above ground level. • Make sure there is at least 20cm clearance at the front, rear and sides of the machine to allow good circulation of the cooling air. -
Page 13: Operation
• When welding, adjust the Arc-force control to achieve the arc condition you require. • The R1500 is suitable for welding all types of electrodes within the current rating of the machine, normally up to 3.2 or 4mm depending on the type of rod. -
Page 14: Fault Finding
Make sure that the overload indicator goes off after 15 seconds. If not see below. • This indicator must be off for normal operation. If on it indicates that the R1500 has overheated and the power stages of the R1500 have been shut down so you will get no current output. -
Page 15: Welding Problems
Choose an initial current setting towards the middle of the quoted range and if necessary practice on a piece of scrap the same thickness as the job to be welded. If the problem still persists have the R1500 checked by a trained Newarc service engineer. R1500... -
Page 16: Maintenance
All Electric shocks are potentially fatal, switch the machine off and disconnect from the power supply before undertaking out any maintenance work. It is very important that the R1500 is regularly maintained. The amount of use and the working environment must be taken into account when scheduling the maintenance periods. Careful use and regular preventative maintenance will prolong the life of the machine and ensure trouble free operation. -
