• Adjust the current control on the remote to the recommended setting for the type and size of welding electrode being used. (The standard Newarc RC300 remote does not have current settings but is marked 1 to 10, for the R2500 allow 25A per division). -
Page 14: Fault Finding
In Hot climates (above 25°C) It indicates that you are exceeding the duty cycle of the RT2500, leave switched on for a few minutes and the RT2000 will return to normal operation. In this circumstance, do not switch the RT2000 off as this will stop the operation of the cooling fan and greatly extend the cool down period. -
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 RT2500 checked by a trained Newarc service engineer. RT2500... -
