Preface This manual includes hardware description and operation introduction of the equipment. For your and other people’s safety, please read the manual carefully. Pay attention Pay attention to the words after the signs below. Sign Description The words after this sign means there is great potential danger, which may cause major accident, damage or even death, if it is not followed.
SAFETY WARNING The safety notes listed in this manual is to ensure correct use of the machine and to keep you and other people from being hurt. The design and manufacture of welding machine considers safety. Please refer to the safety warning listed in the manual to avoid accidents.

Please follow the rules below to avoid heavy accidents. Never use the equipment to do other things but welding. Follow related regulations for the construction of the input-driven power source, choice of place, usage of high-pressure gas, storage, configuration, safe-keeping of workpiece after welding and disposal of waste, etc.

Keep hot workpiece after welding away from flammable gas. Do move away the combustible around when weld the dooryard, ground and wall,. The wire connection of base metal should be as close to the welding place as possible. Never weld those facilities with gas pipe or airtight slot. Put fire extinguisher around the welding area to prevent fire.

Never put the cylinder under high temperature or sunshine environment. Keep your face away from the gas cylinder exit when opening it. Put on the gas shield when it is not used. Never put the torch on the gas cylinder. The electrode can not meet the gas cylinder. Any touch of the switch part will cause injury, please note the following.

Electromagnetic interference needing attention. It may need extra preventive measures when the equipment is used in particular location. Before the installation, please estimate the potential electromagnetism problems of the environment as follows. a) Upper and lower parts of the welding equipments and other nearby power cable, control cable, signal cable and phone cable.
MACHINE DESCRIPTION The welding machine is a rectifier adopting the most advanced inverter technology. The development of inverter gas-shielded welding equipment benefits from the development of the inverter power supply theory and components. Inverter gas-shielded welding power source utilizes high-power component to transfer 50/60Hz frequency up to 100KHz, then reduce the voltage and commutate, and output high-power voltage via PWM technology.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION The machine is equipped with power voltage compensation equipment. When the power voltage fluctuation is between±15% of rated voltage, it still can work normally. When the machine is used with long cables, in order to prevent voltage from going down, bigger section cable is suggested.
OPERATION INSTRUCTION 1. Turn on the power switch, the power led lights up. Adjust knobs of welding current and arc-striking push, make welding function complies with demands. Generally, welding current is adequate to welding electrode according with as following: φ2.5 φ3.2 φ4.0 φ5.0...
PANEL FUNCTION INSTRUCTION ARC 250CT FRONT PANEL ARC 250CT BACK PLANEL Function Current meter Abnormal indicator VRD indicator Welding current adjusting knob Power switch The images shown here are indicative only. The actual product may differ.
NOTES OR PREVENTIVE MEASURES 1. Environment 1) The machine should be operated in dry environments with humidity levels of max 90%. 2) Ambient temperature should be between -10 to 40 degrees centigrade. 3) Avoid welding in sunshine or drippings. Do not let water inter the machine. 4)...
QUESTIONS TO BE RUN INTO DURING WELDING Fittings, welding materials, environment factor, supply powers maybe have something to do with welding. User must try to improve welding environment. A. Arc-striking is difficult and easy to pause 1. Make sure quality of electrode is high. 2.
MAINTENANCE 1. Remove dust by dry and clean compressed air regularly, if welding machine is operating in environment where is polluted with smokes and pollution air, the machine need remove dust every month. 2. Pressure of compressed air must be within the reasonable range in order to prevent damaging to small components of inner-machine.
TROUBLE SHOOTING AND FAULT FINDING Notes: The following operations must be performed by qualified electricians with valid certifications. Before maintenance,please contact with us for professional suggestion. Faults symptom and solutions. Faults symptom Solutions Power indicator is not lit, Make sure power switch is close. fan is not working, no Make sure the electric wire net connecting to input cable is working alright.
