Duty cycle The duty cycle refers to the time as a percentage of a ten--minute period that you can weld at a cer- tain load without overloading. The duty cycle is valid for 40˚C. Enclosure class The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i. e. the degree of protection against penetration by solid objects or water.
OPERATION General safety regulations for the handling of the equipment can be found on page 3. Read through before you start using the equipment! WARNING! Assure that the side panels are closed during operation. WARNING! To prevent the reel from sliding off the hub: Lock the reel in place by turning the red knob as shown on the warning label attached next to the hub.
“ELP/0”. The wire feed unit with water connection is equipped with a detection system ELP (ESAB Logic Pump) which checks that the water hoses are connected. When connecting a water--cooled welding gun, the water pump starts. Detection only works with power sources that are equipped with ELP.
Function explanations Burnback time Burnback time is a delay between the time when the wire starts to brake until the time when the power source switches off the welding voltage. Too short burnback time results in a long wire stickout after completion of welding, with a risk of the wire being caught in the solidifying weld pool.
Wire feed pressure Start by making sure that the wire moves smoothly through the wire guide. Then set the pressure of the wire feeder’s pressure rollers. It is important that the pressure is not too great. Fig 1 Fig 2 To check that the feed pressure is set correctly, you can feed out the wire against an insulated object, e.g.
