Usage limits (IEC 60974-1) The use of a welder is typically discontinuous as it consists of effective work periods (welding) and rest periods (Piece positioning, wire replacement, molating operations, etc.). This welder is sized to deliver the nominal I max current, in complete safety, for a period of work of the X% com- pared to the time of total employment.
“O”. Tables 2A-2B-2C show the recommended capacity values for time-delay line fuses. Table 2A DOGMA 272 XV / DOGMA 276 PULSE XV Model MIG/MAG Power input (I...

MIG-MAG / PULSE MIG / DOUBLE PULSE MIG welding without GAS (only for DOGMA 272 XV and DOGMA 276 PULSE XV models) To begin MIG-MAG / PULSE MIG / DOUBLE PULSE MIG welding, carry out the following tasks (with the ma- chine switched off).
2 - Welding 1) Switch the welding machine on by moving the power supply switch to I. 2) Make the adjustments and do the parameter settings on the control panel. 3) Load the wire using the torch button, after having removed the wire guide nozzle from the torch to allow the wire to come out freely, while loading.
Aluminium welding Welding aluminum in MIG/MAG mode requires some specific considerations due to the unique characteristics of this metal. Here is a general guide on how to perform MIG/MAG welding of aluminium: 1) Material Preparation: Make sure the surfaces to be welded are clean and free of grease, oil or other con- tamination.
Electrode welding (MMA) The machine, electrode welding is used to weld most metals (different types of steel, etc.) using coated rutilic and basic electrodes with diameters ranging from Ø 1.6 mm to Ø 6 mm, and devices that the user can adjust for “Arc Force”, “Hot Start”, and Anti-sticking functions to avoid the electrodes sticking.
A fairly approximate indication of the average current to use in the welding of electrodes for ordinary steel is given by the following formula: I = 50 × (Øe - 1) Where: I = intensity of the welding current Øe = electrode diameter Example: For electrode diameter 4 mm I = 50 ×...
Table 5 shows the currents to use with the respective electrodes for TIG DC welding. This input is not absolute but is for your guidance only; read the electrode manufacturers’ instructions for a specific choice. The diameter of the electrode to use is directly proportional to the current being used for welding. Table 5 ELECTRODE TYPE Current adjustment field (A)
• Cleaning of the wire guide liner using trichloroethylene or specific solvents. • Check of the insulation and connections of the power cable; the connections must be in good electrical and mechanical condition. SPARE PARTS Original spares have been specifically designed for our equipment. The use of spares that are not original may cause variations in the performance and reduce the safety level of the equipment.
ANALOGUE INPUTS These inputs must be piloted by a direct voltage that can be regulated between 0V and 10V. Their input impedance exceeds 400 kΩ (to enable functionality of these inputs the voltage between terminals P(-) and R (+) must exceed 0,5V). •...
The pointing out of any difficulties and their elimination The supply line is attributed with the cause of the most common difficulties. In the case of breakdown, proceed as follows: 1) Check the value of the supply voltage. 2) Check that the power cable is perfectly connected to the plug and the supply switch. 3) Check that the power fuses are not burned out or loose.
Troubleshooting table WARNING: Any internal inspections or repairs are only to be done by qualified personnel! IMPORTANT: Remember to disconnect the mains power supply and wait for the internal capacitors to discharge (about 2 minutes) before starting to check and repair the machine if necessary.

Carry out the following operations following the assembly instructions indicated here (Fig. J) and also contained in the accessories packet: 1) Unscrew the cap on the tank and, using a funnel, fill the tank with CEA CL-1100 code 402275A cooling liq- uid (working temperature -20°C to +120°C). Close the tank cap.
We recommend using only CEA CL-1100 code 402275A cooling liquid (working temperature -20°C to +120°C). The CEA CL-1100 cooling liquid does not contain ethyl alcohol and is 100% biodegradable (Green Line). It facilitates lubrication of rotating parts, does not form lime scale, and protects all metals against corrosion. It does not need to be diluted with water.

Wire loading The purpose of this menu is to allow the operator to load the welding wire and set the loading speed only when he is not welding. By pressing the button for 4 seconds you enable its use. By rotating the knob it is possible to change the wire loading speed from 1.0 to 25.0 m/min (default 8.0 m/min). The remaining buttons and knobs are inactive.
When turned on, but with the machine at rest, the control panel will show the VRD device active (VRD green colour). During the welding phase, the VRD device comes into operation (VRD red colour, does not indicate a malfunction of the welding ma- chine) and at the end of the welding operation the voltage will be reduced within a maximum time of 0.3 seconds.
JOB - View and load a stored program Proceed as follows: 1) By pressing the button, the page with the list of stored programs (JOB) is displayed. 2) Rotate and press the knob to load the desired JOB (e.g. J001 JOB-ID 001). 3) It is now possible to carry out a welding with the stored parameters of the loaded JOB.
Proceed as follows: 1) Pressing the button displays the page with the list of stored programs (JOB). 2) Press the right knob for at least 3 seconds to enter the page below which allows you to name, set JOB slope, copy, move and de- lete a stored program (JOB).
SEQ. - Creating and storing sequences The welder allows you to save up to 10 sequences (up to 10 JOB welding programs in the desired order). To store a sequence of JOBs proceed as follows: 1) Select the JOB menu and then with the right knob select the SEQUENCE TAB. 2) Press a knob to confirm, and then hold down the right knob for at least 3 seconds.

7) Insert the USB pendrive (FAT 32). into the USB socket located on the back of the welder’s front panel. The update firmware is lo- cated in the main folder. 8) Rotate the knob to choose the correct .HEX file corresponding to the name of the welding machine in use. Press the knob to con- firm your choice.

MOTOR CALIBRATION ATTENTION: This procedure allows you to calibrate the wire speed (only in MIG welding processes). There are 3 motor calibration points at different speeds (L1/3-L2/3-L3/3), following the guided procedure, enter the 3 lengths detected. Once the procedure is completed, the software recalculates the characteristic curve of the motor, making it suitable for use.
CALIBRATION CHECK ATTENTION: This procedure NO longer compensates for the voltage drop in the torch cable. Once the CALIBRATION CHECK procedure has been confirmed, it is no longer possible to access the menu again. Return to the welding page with the button Once the CALIBRATION CHECK procedure has been confirmed, it is no longer possible to deactivate it from the calibration menu, but it is necessary to turn the welder off and on again.
