8. GENERATOR OPERATION MODE

The power supply is suitable for operation on a generator under the following conditions:
During electrode
operation
Ø2
Ø3
Ø4
Ø5 fusible
Ø5
Ø6 fusible
Ø6
ATTENTION!: For smooth operation, the output voltage of the generator must not exceed
the permissible limits:
-
160-260V (for StandardMIG-160/200/250);
-
320-440V for all three phases (for StandardMIG-270/350).
The power source can be supplied by various types of generators. However, some of these
may not provide sufficient power for proper operation of the welding current source.
Gensets with automatic voltage regulation (AVR) or an equivalent or better type of
regulation, with the power rating specified in the operating manual.

9. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

ATTENTION: Before opening the device, switch it off, remove the plug from the socket.
Wait (about 5 minutes) for the device's internal electrical circuits to discharge, and only
then carry out the remaining operations. If you walk away from the device, it is advisable to
place a plate indicating that the device should not be switched on.
To keep your device in good condition for years to come, follow the recommendations:
- Perform safety checks at specified intervals (see section "Safety rules");
- In the event of intensive use, it is recommended to clean the unit every six months
with compressed air. ATTENTION!: Blowing from too close a distance may
damage electronic components;
- If there is a lot of dust, manual cleaning of the cooling system ducts is
recommended.
