MAINTENANCE
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL.
•
Turn the input power OFF at the
welding power source before
installation or changing drive rolls
and/or guides.
•
Do not touch electrically live parts.
•
When inching with the gun trigger, electrode and drive
mechanism are "hot" to work and ground and could
remain energized several seconds after the gun trigger
is released.
•
Do not operate with covers, panels or guards removed
or open.
•
Only qualified personnel should perform
maintenance work.
roUtine Maintenance
• Check weld cables and gas hoses for cuts.
• Clean and tighten all weld terminals.
perioDic Maintenance
• Clean the drive rolls and inner wire guide and replace if worn.
• Blow out or vacuum the inside of the feeder.
CURRENT CALIbRATION
1. Connect a resistive load bank to the machine configured for
245A equivalent.
2. Connect a certified calibrated current probe or current meter
and shunt to the output circuit.
3. Select "Current Cal" from the advanced setup menu.
4. Selecting yes ("Y") will enable the machine output at a
constant current of 245A.
5. With output enabled, the actual output current measured
externally should be 245 +/- 2A. The upper displays will show
what the Activ8X Pipe believes is the measurement of output
voltage and output current.
6. Rotating the bottom encoder knob will increase or decrease
the output current trimmer adjustment.
7. Pressing the bottom encoder push button will save the
calibration data to memory and display a message for 2
seconds telling the user that the new calibration data has
been saved.
8. To exit the Current Calibration procedure (with or without
saving the new calibration data) the right push button can be
pressed and released at any time.
CURRENT CALIBRATION COMPLETE
TO RESTORE FACTORY CURRENT CALIBRATION
1. With the Current Calibration procedure active, pressing and
holding the bottom encoder push button for three seconds will
reset the Current Calibration to the factory default.
