Welding Capability – Duty Cycle The R-Tech PROARC135 is rated at 135 Amps at 35% duty cycle on a ten minute basis. If the duty cycle is exceeded a thermal protector will shut machine off until the machine cools. - Page 5 Safety Precautions Read entire section before starting installation WARNING! Electric Shock can kill – Only qualified personnel should perform this installation. Turn off input power at the fuse box before working on this equipment. Do not touch electrically live parts. Always connect the machine to an earthed mains supply as per national recommended standards.

Page 6: Electric Shock Can Kill
Machine grounding and Interference Protection This welder must be grounded to earth. See national electrical codes for proper grounding methods. Radiated interference can develop in the following ways 1. Direct interference from welder power source 2. Direct interference from the welding leads 3. - Page 7 Allow machine to sit for 5 minutes minimum to allow the power capacitors to discharge before working inside this equipment. Do not touch electrically live parts The PROARC135 Inverter Welder requires a 240V 16A 50/60Hz supply (at 125 amps output it will draw 13A input, if used on a 13Amp plug you may get nuisance fuse blows when welding at maximum amperage).

Troubleshooting Service & repair should only be performed by R-Tech welding trained personnel. Unauthorised repairs performed on this equipment may result in danger or injury to the technician and machine operator and will invalidate your warranty. For your safety and to avoid electric shock, please observe all safety notes and precautions... - Page 13 Arc welding problems 1. Stick electrode ‘blasts off’ when arc is struck Welding current set too high, reduce welding current Materials are dirty – clean before welding 2. Excessive Splatter Long arc – get electrode closer to work Welding current too high, reduce welding current 3.
