Specifications / Technical Data RS 400x General Description The RS 400X is thyristor based MMA welding machine. This unit uses 3~Phase 415V, 50 Hz AC power input supply. This machine is suitable for rutile and basic electrodes. It can weld carbon steel, stainless steel.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION Installation Requirements 1) Environment requirements a) Do not install the machine at places with excessive dusts and metal powders. b) Do not install the machine at places with corrosive or explosive gas. c) The temperature of the working environment should be between -10℃ and 40℃. d) Do not carry out welding with the welding machine placed on a platform with a pitch greater than 15°.
OPERATION Panel functions of RS 400x 1. Arc force adjusting knob 2. Digital display for output Amp 3. Output Current adjusting knob 4. Digital display for output Volt 5. Thermal protection indicator 6. Power input indicator 7. Output current range selecting switch 8.
Rear panel Connect input cable with size >=10mm2. Output Terminals Work after welding 1) Cut off the power of the welding machine 3~5min after the welding work is finished, so as to cool the internal part of the machine. Turn off the air switch on the welding machine first and then switch off the power in the switching box when shutting off the power.
MAINTENANCE Daily maintenance WARNING The power of the switching box and the welding machine should be shut down before daily checking (except appearance checking without contacting the conductive body) to avoid personal injury accidents such as electric shock and burns. Tips: 1) Daily checking is very important in keeping the high performance and safe operation of this welding machine.
