START-UP
UNPACKING AND POWER CONNECTION
1. UNPACKING
The Pro-X extrusion welder is delivered to you in a sturdy, reusable shipping/storage case. The custom
foam insert protects the unit from damage during shipping and should be left in the case at all times.
When the unit is out of the case, make sure the lid is closed to avoid dirt, dust, and rain from getting
inside.
Once the Pro-X has been removed from the case, it is ready for use except for any necessary set-up
adjustments. For set-up procedure, refer to the set-up adjustment section in this manual.
2. ELECTRICAL PLUG CONNECTION
The Pro-X is supplied with an appropriate plug-end according to the specified operating voltage of the
welder. The supplied plug-end can be replaced by the customer as long as the new one is rated at a
minimum of 20 amps.
3. POWER REQUIREMENTS
The voltage requirement of your Pro-X extrusion welder is 220V AC. It will operate properly with
voltage ranging from 200V AC to 250V AC.
NOTE:
The above operating voltage range refers to actual voltage at point of welder plug-in. In other words, the
"voltage under load" at the welder end of extension cord.
To measure voltage under load, connect the welder to the extension cord and generator that will be used.
Start generator and turn both welder power switches to the on position. While both the green and red
indicator lights located on the control panel are illuminated showing that the barrel and pre-heater are
heating, separate the plug at the end of the welders power cord just enough to expose the prongs. Using a
digital volt meter, measure the voltage under load between the hot and neutral prongs. This procedure
should only be performed by a qualified electrician.
