If this warning is shown in the display it means that the power source don’t support this function. Contact an authorised ESAB service engineer to get an updated software. Do this first This main menu appears in the display the first time that you start the power unit.
Control panel’s working method The control panel can be said to comprise two units: the primary memory and the welding data memory. Store Primary memory Welding data memory Recall In the primary memory, a complete set of welding data settings are created which can be stored in the welding data memory.
Symbols in the display Back to the main menu. Move the cursor down to a new setting parameter. Change the function in the selected line. Increase the value. Decrease the value. MENUS The control panel uses several different menus: the main menu, the measurements menu, the selection menu, the process menu, the settings menu, the configuration menu and the memory menu.
The selection menu Use the selection menu to select the next level of menu to which you want to go: process, settings, configuration or memory. Process menu Use this menu to change the welding process, the method of starting the weld etc. Settings menu Use this menu to set welding parameters, such as gas pre--flow, “slope up”, pulse current etc.

4- -stroke Gas pre--flow Slope Slope down Gas post-- flow 4- -stroke operation of the welding gun switch button. In the 4- - stroke control mode, pressing the switch button starts gas pre--flow (if used) (1). At the end of the gas pre--flow time, the current rises to the pilot level (a few ampere), and the arc is struck.

Gas purging Use the gas purging function to measure the gas flow or to purge the gas hoses of any air and/or moisture before starting to weld. Purging continues for as long as the switch button is held pressed, and prevents the current from flowing or the wire feed from starting.

Pulse current This is the higher current value of the two currents used in pulsed current welding. Irrespective of which menu is displayed, the setting value for the pulse current can always be changed. The value is displayed in the main menu, the selection menu or the settings menu.
This function cannot be changed while welding is in progress. Maximal current depends on which machine type is used. Contact an authorised ESAB service engineer to activate this function. The synergy line on delivery rutile wire 4.0 mm. Hot start The hot start function increases the welding current for an adjustable time at the start of welding.
MEMORY MANAGEMENT Various welding data created in the primary memory can be stored in the memory menu. Up to 10 different welding data settings can be stored. Store welding data Set a welding data setting in the primary memory. Press to access the “selection menu”...
Recall welding data Press to access the selection menu and then on to access the relevant settings. Press to access the memory menu. Choose which memory position you want to recall, e.g. position 2. Press until you come to position 2. Press to recall memory position 2.
Press “YES” if you want to delete welding data from memory position 2, (if you change your mind, press “NO”). Memory position 2 is now empty. CODE LOCK Contact an authorised ESAB service engineer to activate the code lock. Press to access the code lock menu.
FAULT CODES Fault codes are used to indicate that a fault has occurred in the equipment. They are shown in the display in the form of a symbol as follows: Fault codes are updated every three seconds. The upper numeral in the symbol is the number of the particular fault code: see Item 8.1.
Unit Power supply 1* Power supply 2* Power supply 3* Control panel Power unit +15V --15V +24V Remote control +13V +10V Fault code descriptions Fault Description code1 Program memory error (EPROM) The program memory has “lost” a value, i.e. the value in some particular memory location differs from the original value.

Fault Description code1 - -15V power supply, (power unit) The voltage is too high or too low. Action: Send for a service technician. +24V power supply, (power unit) The voltage is too high or too low. Action: Send for a service technician. Communication error (warning) The CAN circuit’s error counter has too high a value, and contact with the control panel may be lost.
All guarantee undertakings from the supplier cease to apply if the customer himself attempts any work in the product during the guarantee period in order to rectify any faults. Spare parts may be ordered through your nearest ESAB dealer, see the last page of this publication. - - 44 - -...
