Filling the cooling tank GYS recommends that you use CORAGARD CS330 (or equivalent) cooling liquid in this cooling tank, for more information, visit the website: http://www.aqua-concept-gmbh.eu The use of other cooling liquids, and in particular standard cooling liquids, can lead to the accumulation of solid substances inside the cooling system (due to electrolysis), this will negatively impact the cooling efficiency, and possibly cause total obstruction of the system.
4- PRODUCT OPERATION Key definition ① ① ① ① ④ ④ ④ ④ _Pressing the key allow to select the clamp mode, gun Save user welding parameters mode or clamp adjustment. - Pressing this key 2 seconds allows to come back to normal mode from the other modes.
Using pneumatic clamps When using the pneumatic clamp, always disconnect the copper plate used in single sided gun welding. For the GYSPOT BP.LCX, select the type of clamp to be used with the key on the front panel. BP-LCX : to ensure the efficiency of the cooling system, it is essential that both clamps (C and X) are equipped with their respective arms, and that the pipes are properly attached to their respective connectors ATTENTION :...

MANUAL mode This mode allows the user to manually select the welding parameters, for example when following instructions from a manufacturer. The default settings in manual mode correspond to the settings automatically selected in standard mode (thickness and type of sheet, electrode force, arm). The parameters can be adjusted using the + and –...

The up and down button ( ) scrolls through the parameters to modify (sheet thickness, Yield strength, arm used). The + and – keys allow modification of each parameter. Button A on the clamp allows the thickness of the sheets to be welded to be changed remotely. Button B on the clamp allows the user to spot weld with the selected parameters.
In order to use this mode, a calibration should be first performed by closing the clamp without any steel sheets between the electrodes. Press the « Close clamp / weld » button. The message « Close clamp (without steel) » appears on the screen. Press the button again to perform the calibration.

The parameters to set in that mode are: ♦ Thickness of the metal sheet 1: 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 ♦ Type of the metal 1: coated steel, HTS steel, UHTS steel, BORON steel. ♦ Thickness of the metal sheet 2: the same as the metal sheet 1. ♦...
Using a single-sided gun ♦ Connect the copper plate onto the generator's earth cable. ♦ Firmly fix the earth plate as near as possible to the welding area. In case of spot welding with the single sided gun, always fix the earth plate to the sheet that will not come into contact with the welding electrode (so that the welding current will flow through the 2 sheets to be welded).

Tool out of order : The message « Tool out of order » appears after switch ON of the machine and alerts the user that a button or trigger is constantly pressed, or a permanent short-circuit is detected. Control the trigger of the gun, as well as the buttons on the clamps in order to make this message disappear.
GYS supplies software called GYSPOT to read the SD card and the user manual. This GYSPOT software is stored in the SD card with the user manual.

Format an SD card All the reports made and saved on the SD card will be erased when formatted. To format an SD card, insert the card into your PC card drive or a card reader and, in the menu, click on Options and Purge the SD card.
Generator maintenance The maintenance and repair of the generator should only be carried out by a GYS technician. Any repair/maintenance made to the generator by unauthorized personnel will invalidate the machine's warranty - GYS will not take responsibility for any incident or accident under these circumstances.
Replacement of the C arms : Please read the following instructions carefully. Incorrectly tightening or setting the C clamp arms can lead to the arm and clamp overheating and causing damage. Damage caused by incorrect assembly are not covered under the warranty. Ⓐ...
