Setting supply voltage tapping • To enable the setting of the supply voltage tapping, the front panel display cover of the R7000 has to be removed. • The photograph opposite shows the voltage tapping set to 415V, with the red wire from the fuse holder connected to the 415 terminal.
• Connect the TIG unit to the R7000 and the shielding gas supply as the diagrams in the TIG unit manual. • Turn the mains switch on the R7000 to the on position, the digital displays on the R7000 and the TIG unit will light up, you are now ready to weld.
Digital display lit but no output • Make sure that the display is not reading ‘HOT’ , if it is, it means that the R7000 has overheated, normally by exceeding its ’Duty Cycle’ , and the power stages of the machine have been shut down. In this case, leave the machine switched on until it has cooled down, if you turn the machine off, the cooling fans...
4.1 Welding problems If problems with the R7000’s operation while welding are experienced, first refer to the information in the installation section and paragraphs in the operating section and the fault finding procedure earlier in this section. • Most problems with MMA welding are the result of not setting the correct welding parameters for the welding rod being used.
All Electric shocks are potentially fatal, switch off the machine and unplug from the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance work. It is very important that the R7000 is regularly maintained. The amount of use and the working environment must be taken into account when scheduling the maintenance periods.
