Frequently Asked Questions - Neopulse 220 C XL GYS

What power supply voltage is required?

The machine operates on a single-phase 230 V (50-60 Hz) supply with a CEE7/7 16 A plug. It tolerates variations of -20% to +15%.

Which shielding gases to use for steel and aluminum?

For steel, use an Ar+CO2 mixture (flow 8-15 L/min). For stainless steel, mixture with 2% CO2. For aluminum, pure argon (flow 15-25 L/min). Do not use pure CO2 without preheating.

How to change the wire diameter?

Open the door, loosen the wire feeder knob, replace the rollers with those corresponding to the wire diameter and type (V-groove for steel, U-groove for aluminum). Insert the wire into the liner and roller groove, close and tighten moderately.

What to do if the wire slips or does not feed correctly?

Check the roller pressure, clean the contact tip, straighten the torch without twisting, loosen the coil brake, and ensure the wire guide liner is not blocked or crushed.

How to set the polarity for no-gas welding (No Gas)?

For No Gas welding (flux-cored wire), connect the ground cable to the positive (+) socket and the torch to the negative (-) socket. Reverse compared to gas welding. Refer to the wire manufacturer's recommendations.

What is synergic mode?

Synergic mode automatically adjusts the voltage and wire speed according to the workpiece thickness or selected current. It simplifies settings for users of all levels.

How to perform the wire feeder speed calibration?

Go to the Calibration menu > Speed Calib. Follow the on-screen instructions. This operation compensates for mechanical variations and improves the accuracy of wire speed and welding energy.

What to do in case of error code 010 (thermal protection)?

Wait for the generator to cool down (fan running). Check that the ventilation grilles are not blocked. Do not exceed the recommended duty cycle. Installing the dust filter reduces the duty cycle.

Can a Push-Pull torch be used?

Yes, via the dedicated connector (I-9). The Push-Pull torch allows using aluminum wire up to Ø 0.8 mm. Detection is done by pressing the trigger. The optional potentiometer allows adjusting the current between 50% and 100% of the set value.

How to export traceability data?

PROTECTING YOURSELF AND OTHERS

Arc welding can be dangerous and cause serious injury or death.

Welding exposes people to a dangerous heat source, arc light, electromagnetic fields (be aware of those wearing pacemakers), risk of electrocution, loud noises and fumes.

To protect yourself and others, please observe the following safety instructions:

To protect yourself from burns and radiation, wear insulating, dry and fireproof clothing without lapels. Ensure the clothing is in good condition and that covers the whole body.

Wear gloves that ensure electrical and thermal insulation.

Use welding protection and/or a welding helmet with a sufficient level of protection (depending on the specific use). Protect your eyes during cleaning operations. Contact lenses are specifically forbidden.

It may be necessary to section off the welding area with fireproof curtains to protect the area from arc radiation and hot spatter. Advise people in the welding area not to stare at the arc rays or molten material and to wear appropriate protective clothing.

Wear noise protection headphones if the welding process becomes louder than the permissible limit (this is also applicable to anyone else in the welding area).

Keep your hands, hair and clothing away from moving parts (for example, the fans).

Never remove the cooling unit housing protections when the welding power source is live, the manufacturer cannot be held responsible in the event of an accident.

The newly welded parts are hot and can cause burns when handled. When maintenance work is carried out on the torch or electrode holder, ensure that it is sufficiently cold by waiting at least 10 minutes before carrying out any work. The cooling unit must be switched on when using a water-cooled torch to ensure that the liquid cannot cause burns.

To protect people and property, it is important to properly secure the work area before leaving.

WELDING FUMES AND GAS

The fumes, gases and dusts emitted during welding are harmful to health. Sufficient ventilation must be provided and an additional air supply may be required. A n air-fed mask could be a solution in cases where there is insufficient ventilation.

Check that the suction is functioning effectively by checking it against safety standards.

Caution: when welding in small areas requires supervision from a safe distance. In addition, the welding of certain materials containing lead, cadmium, zinc, mercury or even beryllium can be particularly harmful. Remove any grease from the parts before welding.

Gas cylinders should be stored in open or well-ventilated areas. They should be kept in an upright position and kept on a cart or trolley. Welding should not be undertaken near grease or paint.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION RISKS

Fully protect the welding area, flammable materials should be kept at least 11 metres away. Fire fighting equipment should be present in the vicinity of welding operations.

Beware the expulsion of hot spatter or sparks, even through cracks, which can cause fires or explosions.

Keep people, flammable objects and pressurised containers at a safe distance.

Do not weld in closed containers or tubes. If they are open, remove any flammable or explosive materials (oil, fuel, etc.) before welding.

Grinding work must not be directed towards the source of the welding current or towards any flammable materials.

GAS CYLINDERS

Gas escaping from the cylinders can cause suffocation if it becomes concentrated in the welding area (ventilate well). Transporting the machine must be done safely: gas cylinders must be closed and the welding power source turned off. They should be stored upright and supported to reduce the risk of falling.

Tightly close the bottle between uses. Beware of temperature changes and sun exposure.

The bottle should not come into contact with flames, electric arcs, torches, earth clamps or any other sources of heat.

Keep away from electrical and welding circuits and never weld a pressurised cylinder.

When opening the cylinder valve, keep your head away from the valve and ensure that the gas being used is suitable for the welding process.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The electrical network used must be earthed. Use the recommended fuse size chosen from the information table. Electric shocks can cause serious direct and indirect accidents or even death.

Never touch live parts connected to the live current, either inside or outside the power source casing unit (torches, clamps, cables, electrodes), as these items are connected to the welding circuit.

Before opening the welding machine's power source, disconnect it from the mains and wait two minutes to ensure that all the capacitors have fully discharged.

Do not touch the torch or the electrode holder and the earth clamp at the same time.

If the cables or torches become damaged, they must be replaced by a qualified and authorised person. Measure the length of cable according to its use. Always wear dry, good quality clothing to insulate yourself from the welding circuit. Alongside this, wear well-insulated footwear in all working environments.

EMC CLASSIFICATION

This Class A equipment is not intended for domestic use where electrical power is supplied from the low-voltage mains system. Ensuring electromagnetic compatibility may be difficult at these sites due to conducted, as well as radiated, radio frequency interference.

Provided that the impedance of the low-voltage public electrical network at the common coupling point is less than Zmax = 0.349 Ohms, this equipment complies with IEC 61000-3-11 and can be connected to public low-voltage electrical mains. It is the responsibility of the installer or user of the equipment to ensure, in consultation with the distribution network operator if necessary, that the network impedance complies with the impedance restrictions.

This equipment complies with the IEC 61000-3-12 standard.

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCES

An electric current passing through any conductor produces localised electric and magnetic fields (EMF). The welding current produces an electromagnetic field around the welding circuit and the welding equipment.

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can interfere with some medical devices, for example pacemakers. Protective measures should be taken for those with medical, implanted devices. For example, restricted access for onlookers or an individual risk assessment for welders.

All welders should use the following guidelines to minimise exposure to the welding circuit's electromagnetic fields:

• position the welding cables together - if possible, securing them with a clamp,
• position yourself (head and body) as far away from the welding circuit as possible,
• never wrap the welding cables around your body,
• do not position yourself between the welding cables and keep both welding cables on your same side,

• connect the return cable to the workpiece, as close as possible to the area to be welded,

• do not work next to, sit or lean on the source of the welding current,

• do not weld while transporting the source of the welding current or wire feeder.

Pacemaker users should consult a doctor before using this equipment. Exposure to electromagnetic fields during welding may have other health effects that are not yet known.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ASSESSING THE WELDING AREA AND EQUIPMENT

General Information

It is the user's responsibility to install and use the arc welding equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions. If electromagnetic disturbances are detected, it is the user's responsibility to resolve the situation using the manufacturer's technical support. In some cases, this corrective action may be as simple as earthing the welding circuit. In other cases, it may be necessary to construct an electromagnetic shield around the welding current source and around the entire workpiece by setting up input filters. In any case, electromagnetic interference should be reduced until it is no longer an inconvenience.

Assessing the welding area

Before installing arc welding equipment, the user should assess the potential electromagnetic problems in the surrounding area. The following should be taken into account:

a) the presence of power, control, signal and telephone cables above, below and next to the arc welding equipment,

b) radio and television receivers and transmitters,

c) computers and other control equipment,

d) critical safety equipment, e.g. the protection of industrial equipment,

e) the health of nearby persons, e.g. those using of pacemakers or hearing aids,

f) the equipment used for calibrating or measuring,

g) the protection of other surrounding equipment.

The operator has to ensure that the devices and equipment used in the same area are compatible with each other. This may require further protective measures;

h) the time of day when welding or other activities are to take place.

The size of the surrounding area to be taken into account will depend on the building's structure and the other activities taking place there. The surrounding area may extend beyond the boundaries of the premises.

Assessment of the welding equipment

In addition to the assessment of the surrounding area, the arc welding equipment's assessment can be used to identify and resolve cases of interference. It is appropriate that the assessment of any emissions should include in situ procedures as specified in Article 10 of CISPR 11. In situ procedures can also be used to confirm the effectiveness of mitigation measures.

GUIDELINES ON HOW TO REDUCE ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS

a. The mains power grid: Arc welding equipment should be connected to the mains power grid according to the manufacturer's recommendations. If any interference occurs, it may be necessary to take additional precautionary measures such as filtering the mains power supply. Consider protecting the power cables of permanently installed, arc welding equipment within a metal pipe or a similar casing. The power cable should be protected along its entire length. The protective casing should be connected to the welding machine's power source to ensure good electrical contact between the protective pipeline and the welding machine's power source housing.

b. The maintenance of arc welding equipment: Arc welding equipment should be subject to routine maintenance as recommended by the manufacturer. All access points, service openings and bonnets should be closed and properly locked when the arc welding equipment is in use. The arc welding equipment should not be modified in any way, except for those modifications and adjustments mentioned in the manufacturer's instructions. The spark gap of arc starters and stabilisers should be adjusted and maintained according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

c. Welding cables: Cables should be as short as possible, placed close together either near or on the ground.

d. Equipotential bonding: Consideration should be given to the joining of all metal objects in the surrounding area. However, metal objects connected to the workpiece increase the risk of electric shocks to the user if they touch both these metal parts and the electrode. The user should be isolated from such metal objects.

e. Earthing the workpiece: In cases where the part to be welded is unearthed for electrical safety reasons or due to its size and location, such as ship hulls or structural steel buildings, an earthed connection can reduce emissions in some cases, although not always. Care should be taken to avoid the earthing of parts which could increase the risk of injury to users or damage to other electrical equipment. If necessary, the workpiece's connection should be earthed directly, but in some countries where a direct connection is not allowed, the connection should be made with a suitable capacitor chosen according to national regulations.

f. Protection and protective casing: The selective protection and encasing of other cables and equipment in the surrounding area may limit interference problems. The safeguarding of the entire welding area may be considered for special applications.

THE TRANSPORTING AND MOVING OF THE MACHINE'S POWER SOURCE

Do not use the cables or torch to move the welding power source. It should be transported in an upright position. Do not carry or transport the power source overhead of people or objects.

Never lift a gas cylinder and the welding power source at the same time. Their transport requirements are different. It is advisable to remove the wire spool before lifting or transporting the welding power source.

SETTING UP THE EQUIPMENT

- Place the welding power source on a floor with a maximum inclination of 10^ .

• Provide sufficient space to ventilate the welding power source and access the controls.
• Do not use in an area with conductive metal dust.
• The welding power source should be protected from heavy rain and not exposed to direct sunlight.
• The equipment is IP23S protection degree, meaning
• protection against access to dangerous parts of solid bodies with diam >12.5 mm and,
• protection against rain directed at 60° to the vertical when the moving parts of the device are not yet in operation.
  This equipment can therefore be stored outdoors in accordance with protection class IP23S.

Stray welding currents can destroy earthing conductors, damage electrical equipment and devices and cause component parts to overheat leading to fires.

• All welding connections must be firmly secured and regularly checked!
• Make sure that the item's attachment is firm and secure, without any electrical problems!
• Join together or suspend any electrically conductive parts of the welding source such as the frame, trolley and lifting systems so that they are insulated!
• Do not place other equipment such as drills or grinding devices etc. on the welding source, trolley, or lifting systems unless they are insulated!
• Always place welding torches or electrode holders on an insulated surface when not in use!

Power cables, extension cables and welding cables should be fully unwound to avoid overheating.

The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for damage to persons or objects caused by improper and dangerous use of this equipment.

MAINTENANCE / RECOMMENDATIONS

• Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified person. Annual maintenance is recommended.
• Switch off the power supply by pulling the plug and wait two minutes before working on the equipment.. Inside the macine, the voltages and currents are high and dangerous.

- Regularly remove the cover and blow out any dust. Take advantage of the opportunity to have the electrical connections checked with an insulated tool by a qualified professional.

- Regularly check the condition of the power cord. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the after sales service team or an equally qualified person to avoid any danger.

- Leave the welding power source vents free for air intake and outflow.

- Do not use this welding power source for thawing pipes, recharging batteries/storage batteries or starter motors.

INSTALLATION - USING THE PRODUCT

POWER SWITCH

• The material is supplied with a 16A plug type CEE7/7 and must only be used on a single-phase electrical installation 230V (50-60 Hz) with 3 wires including one connected to earth. The absorbed effective current (I1eff) is indicated on the machine, for optimal use. Check that the power supply and its protections (fuse and/or circuit breaker) are compatible with the current needed by the machine. In some countries, it may be necessary to change the plug to allow the use at maximum settings. The user must ensure that the plug remain accessible.
  • The machine is designed to work on a 230V -20% +15% power supply. It switches to protection mode if the power supply voltage is below 185V RMS or over 265V RMS. (a default code will appear on the screen display).
• To switch the machine on, turn the on/off switch (I-3) to position I, whereas switching it off is done by turning the switch to position 0. Caution! Never disconnect the machine from the power supply while the machine is charging.

CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE

This equipment can be operated with electric generators provided that the auxiliary power supply meets the following requirements:
- The voltage must be alternating, its RMS value must be 230 V -20% +15%, and the peak voltage must be less than 400 V.
- The frequency must be between 50 and 60 Hz.
It is vital to check these conditions as many generators produce high voltage peaks that can damage equipment.

USING EXTENSION LEADS

All extension leads must be of a suitable length and width that is appropriate to the equipment's voltage. Use an extension lead that complies with national safety regulations.

• Insert the wire, then close the motorised wire-feed reel and retighten the knob as shown.
• Operate the motor using the torch trigger or the manual wire feed button (I-6).

Notes:

• Too narrow a sheath can lead to unreeling issues and can lead to the overheating of the motor.
• The torch connection must also be properly tightened to prevent it from overheating.
• Ensure that neither the wire, nor the reel, touches the device's mechanism, otherwise there is a danger of short-circuiting the machine.

RISK OF INJURY FROM MOVING COMPONENTS

The reels have moving parts that can trap hands, hair, clothing or tools causing injuries!

• Do not touch rotating, moving or driving parts of the machine!
• Ensure that the housing covers or protective covers remain fully closed when in operation!
• Do not wear gloves when threading the filler wire or changing the filler wire reel.

SEMI-AUTOMATIC STEEL/STAINLESS STEEL WELDING (MAG MODE)

This machine can weld steel and stainless steel wire from ∅ 0.6 to 1.0 mm(II-A).

The machine is designed for use with ∅ 1.0 mm steel wire (∅ 0.8/1.0 roller) as standard. The contact tip, the sheave groove and the welding torch sheath are designed for this use. Use a torch no longer than 3 m to weld 0.6 diameter wire. The contact tip as well as the spools of the motorised wire feed roller should be replaced by a 0.6 grooved model (ref. (réf. 042353). In this case, position it so that the marking 0.6 is visible.

To do this using steel requires a specific welding gas (Ar+CO2). The amount of CO2 may vary depending on the type of gas used. Use 2% CO2 for stainless steel. It is necessary to connect a gas pre-heater to the gas cylinder when welding with pure CO2. For specific gas issues, please contact your gas distributor. The gas flow rate for steel is between 8 and 15 litres per minute depending on the surroundings.

SEMI-AUTOMATIC ALUMINIUM WELDING (MIG MODE)

The equipment can weld aluminium wire from ∅ 0.8 to 1.2 mm (II-B).

The use of aluminium requires a specific, pure, argon gas (Ar). Seek advice from a gas distributor for a wide selection of gases. he gas flow rate of aluminium is between 15 and 25 l/min depending on the surrounding environment and the welder's experience.

The differences between steel and aluminium processing are as follows:

• Use specific rollers for aluminium welding.
• Put minimum pressure on the motorised reel's pressure rollers so as not to crush the thread.
• Use a capillary tube (to guide the wire between the motorised wire feeder rollers and the EURO connector) for steel/stainless steel welding only.
• Use a special aluminium torch. This aluminium torch has a Teflon coating to reduce friction. DO NOT cut away the coating at the tip of the connector! This coating is used to guide the wire from the rollers.
• Contact tips: use a SPECIAL aluminium contact tip that matches the wire's diameter.

When using red or blue sheathing (aluminium welding), it is recommended to use the 90950 (II-C) accessory. This stainless steel sheath guide improves the centering of the sheath and facilitates the flow of the wire.

Video

SEMI-AUTOMATIC WELDING IN CUSI AND CUAL (SOLDERING MODE)

The machine can weld CuSi and CuAl wire from ∅ 0.8 to 1.0 mm.

In the same way as with steel, a capillary tube must be set up and a torch with a steel sheath must be used. When braze welding, pure argon (Ar) should be used.

SEMI-AUTOMATIC «NO GAS» WIRE WELDING

This equipment can weld wire without gas protection (No Gas) from ∅ 0.9 to 1.2 mm. Welding flux-cored wire with a standard nozzle can lead to overheating and damage to the torch. Remove the original nozzle from your MIG-MAG torch.

CHOOSING A POLARITY

Polarity + Polarity -

Gas-shielded MIG/MAG welding generally requires positive polarity.

MIG/MAG welding without gas shielding (No Gas) generally requires negative polarity.

In any case, refer to the wire manufacturer's recommendations for the choice of polarity for your MIG-MAG torch.

GAS SUPPLY

• Fit a suitable pressure regulator to the gas cylinder. Connect it to the welding station with the pipe supplied. Attach the two hose clamps to prevent leaks.
• Ensure that the gas cylinder is held securely in place with a chain attached to the power source.
• Set the gas flow rate by adjusting the dial on the pressure regulator.
  NB: To adjust the gas flow rate more easily, use the rollers on the motorised spool by pulling the trigger on the torch (loosen the brake wheel on the motorised reel so that no wire is drawn in). Maximum gas pressure: 0.5 MPa (5 bar).

This procedure does not apply to welding in «No Gas» mode.

SPOT WELDING MODE

- SPOT WELDING

This welding mode allows the pre-assembly of parts before welding. Spot welding can be done manually using the trigger or timed with a predefined spot welding period. This spot welding makes reproduction and execution of non-oxidised weld points easier (accessible in the advanced menu).

• TIME LIMITS

This is a welding mode similar to SPOT welding but with predefined weld and dwell times, as long as the trigger is held down.

CONFIGURING THE SETTINGS

	Units
Wire speed	m/min	Amount of filler metal deposited and consequently the welding intensity and penetration.
Voltage V Control over the cord's width.
Self - Lessens the welding current more or less. To be set according to the welding position.
Pre-Gas s When the torch is bled and the gas shield is created before ignition.
Post-Gas s		Duration of the gas protection after the arc is extinguished. It protects the workpiece and the electrode from oxidation.
Thickness mm		The pre-installed user settings (synergies) allow for a fully-automatic set-up. Working with different thicknesses automatically sets the appropriate thread tension and speed.

Tack welding	s Set duration.
Time between two points	s	Time between the end of a point (excluding Post-Gas) and the start of a new point (including Pre-Gas).
Burnback	s	Feature preventing the thread sticking to the bead. This is timed to coincide with the wire rising from the weld pool.

Access to some welding settings depends on the welding process (Manual, Standard, etc.) and the selected display mode (Easy, Expert or Advanced). Refer to the HMI manual.

MIG/MAG WELDING CYCLES

Standard 2T process:

I start I hot start T hotstart Dstart Gas Pre-Flow Creep Speed Soft-start I burn-back I blackout T burn-back T crater Filler I crater Filler

When the trigger is pulled, the pre-gas starts. When the wire touches the workpiece, a pulse initiates the arc and the welding cycle starts. When the trigger is released, the wire feeding stops and a current pulse cleanly cuts the wire, followed by the post-gas. As long as the post-gas has not finished, pressing the trigger will allow a quick restart of the weld (manual chain stitch) without going through the HotStart phase. A HotStart and/or a crater filler can be added to the cycle.

Standard 4T process:

Istart Hotstart I start Hot start Dstart 4T Gas Pre-Flow Creep Speed Soft-start I Crater Filler I Crater Filler T Crater Filler 4T T burn-back I Blackout T burn-back Gas post-Flow

In a standard 4T process, the timing of pre-gas and post-gas is managed automatically. HotStart and crater filler are both controlled by the trigger.

Pulsed 2T process:

I hotstart I start I hot start Dstart T upslope T downslope I burn-back I blackout Gas pre-flow Creep Speed T burn-back T crater Filler I crater Filler Soft-start

When the trigger is pulled, the pre-gas starts. When the wire touches the workpiece, a pulse initiates the arc. Then, the machine starts with HotStart or upslope and finally, the welding cycle starts. When the trigger is released, the downslope initiates until it reaches crater fill. Then the STOP PEAK cuts the wire followed by the Post gas. Just as in Standard mode, the user can quickly restart the welding process during the post-gas phase without going through the HotStart phase.

Pulsed 4T process:

I hotstart I start Hot start Dstart T upslope 4T Gas Pre-Flow Creep Speed Soft-start I Crater Filler T Crater Filler T upslope T downslope I Blackout T burn-back Gas post-Flow T burn-back

In pulsed 4T mode, the timing of the pre-gas and post-gas is managed automatically. HotStart and crater fill are controlled by the trigger.

TIG (GTAW) WELDING MODE

INSTALLATION AND GUIDANCE

• DC TIG welding requires a protective gas shield (Argon).
• Connect the earth clamp to the positive (+) plug connector. Plug in the TIG torch (ref. 046108) into the power source's EURO connector and the reverse cable into the negative (-) connector.
• Ensure that the torch is properly fitted and that the consumables (vice grip pliers, collet bodies, diffusers and nozzles) are not worn out.
  • The choice of electrode will depend on the current of the DC TIG process.

For optimum results, it is advised to use an electrode sharpened in the following way:

d L

L = 3 x d for a low current. L = d for a high current

WELDING PROCESSES

- DC TIG welding

Specifically designed for ferrous metals such as steel, stainless steel, copper and its alloys, as well as titanium.

- Synergic TIG welding

No longer based on the selection of a DC current type and the welding cycle settings but intergrates welding rules/pre-installed settings based on real welding experiences. Therefore, this mode restricts the number of basic, adjustable settings to three: Type of material, welding thickness and welding position.

ADJUSTABLE SETTINGS

• STANDARD WELDING

The standard DC TIG welding process allows high quality welding on most ferrous materials such as steel and stainless steel, but also copper and its alloys including titanium. The various current and gas management possibilities allow you to perfectly control your welding operation, from priming to the final cooling of your weld seam.

• PULSED WELDING

This pulsed current welding mode combines high current pulses (I = welding pulses) with low current pulses (cold I, workpiece cooling pulses). The pulsed mode allows parts to be assembled while limiting temperature rises and warping. Ideal for on site use.

Example:

The welding current (I) is set to 100 A and % (cold I) = 50%, i.e. cold current = 50% x 100 A = 50.

F(Hz) is set to 10 Hz, the signal period will be 1/10 Hz = 100 ms -> a 100 A pulse every 100 ms then followed by another at 50 A .

- SPOT WELDING

This welding mode allows the pre-assembly of parts before welding. Spot welding can be done manually using the trigger or timed with a predefined spot welding period. Spot welding allows for better reproduction and non-oxidised weld points.

• TACK WELDING

This welding mode also allows for the pre-assembly of parts before welding, but in two stages this time: the first stage uses a pulsed DC current which concentrates the arc for better penetration. This is then followed by the second stage where a standard DC current is used to widen the arc and therefore the weld pool to secure the weld point.

The variable times of the two welding stages allow for better reproduction and non-oxidised weld points.

• E-TIG WELDING

This mode allows for constant power welding by measuring arc length variations in real time to ensure consistent bead width and penetration. In cases where the assembly requires careful control of the welding energy, the E-TIG mode guarantees that the welder will respect the welding power regardless of the torch's position in relation to the workpiece.

T1 - The main button is pressed, the welding cycle starts (Pre-Gas, I_Start, upslope and welding).
T2 - The main button is released, the welding cycle is stopped (downslope, I_Stop, Post-Gas).

For two-button torches in T2 only, the secondary button is treated as the main button.

T1 - The main button is pressed, the cycle starts from Pre-Gas and stops at the I_Start phase.
T2 - The main button is released, the cycle continues to upslope and welding.
T3 - The main button is pressed, the cycle goes to downslope and stops in the I Stop phase.
T4 - The main button is released, the cycle ends with the Post-Gas. NB: for torches, double buttons and double button + potentiometer
=> «up/weld current» button turns on the potentiometer, the «down» button turns it off.

T1 - The main button is pressed, the cycle starts from Pre-Gas and stops at the I_Start phase.

T2 - The main button is released, the cycle continues to upslope and welding.
LOG: this operating mode is used during the welding phase:
- a quick press of the main button (<0.5 s) switches the current from I_welding to I_cold and vice versa.
- if the secondary button is pressed, the current switches from I welding to I cold.
- if the secondary button is left unpressed, the current switches from I_cold to I_welding.
T3 - After holding down the main button (>0.5 s), the cycle goes into downslope and stops at the I_Stop phase.
T4 - The main button is released and the cycle ends with Post-Gas.

For dual button or dual trigger torches, the «high» trigger retains the same functionality as the single trigger torch. The «low» trigger is not active.

MMA (SMAW) WELDING MODE

INSTALLATION AND GUIDANCE

• Plug the cables, electrode holder and earth clamp into the plug connections.
• Respect the electrical polarities and the strength of the welding power indicated on the electrode boxes.
• Remove the coated electrode from the electrode holder when the welding power source is not in use.
  • The equipment is fitted with 3 inverter-specific features:
• Hot Start provides an overcurrent at the beginning of the welding process.
• Arc Force creates an overcurrent which prevents the electrode from sticking to the weld pool.
• The Anti-Stick technology makes it easier to unstick the electrode from the metal.

WELDING PROCESSES

• STANDARD WELDING

This standard MMA welding mode is suitable for most welding applications. It enables welding with all types of coated, rutile, basic and cellulosic electrodes, as well as on all materials: steel, stainless steel and cast iron.

• PULSED WELDING

The pulsed MMA welding mode is suitable for upright (PF) applications. The pulsed setting keeps the weld pool cold while promoting material transfer. Without pulsing, vertical upward welding requires a «Christmas tree» movement, i.e. a difficult triangular movement. Thanks to Pulsed MMA welding, it is no longer necessary to perform this movement. Depending on the thickness of your workpiece, a straight upward movement should suffice. However, if you want to enlarge your weld pool, a simple sideways movement similar to downheld welding is sufficient.. In this case, you can set the frequency of your pulsed current on the display monitor. This method offers greater control of the vertical welding operation.

CHOOSING COATED ELECTRODES

• Rutile electrodes: very easy to use in any position.
• Basic electrodes: it can be used in all positions and is suitable for safety work due to its increased mechanical properties.
• Cellulosic electrodes: a very powerful arc with a high melting speed, its ability to be used in all positions makes it especially suitable for pipeline work.

CONFIGURING THE SETTINGS

	Units
Percentage Hot Start	%	Hot Start is an overcurrent at the ignition stage which prevents the electrode from sticking to the workpiece. The intensity (% of welding current) and the time (seconds) can be programmed.
Duration of Hot Start s
Welding current	A	The welding current is determined by the type of electrode chosen (see electrode packaging).
Arc Force %		Arc Force is an overcurrent administered to prevent sticking when the electrode or weld bead touches the weld pool.
Percentage I cold %

Pulse frequency	Hz PULSE mode's PULSING frequency.

Access to some welding settings depends on the selected display mode: Settings/Display mode: Easy, Expert, Advanced. Refer to the HMI manual.

ADJUSTING THE WELDING CURRENT

The following settings correspond to the applicable current range depending on the type and diameter of the electrode used. These ranges are quite large as they depend on the usage and the welding position.

electrode (mm) Rutile E6013 (A) Basic E7018 (A) Cellulosic E6010 (A)
1.6 30-60	30-55	-
2.0 50-70	50-80	-
2.5	60-100	80-110	60-75
3.15	80-150	90-140	85-90
4.0	100-200	125-210	120-160
5	150-290	200-260	110-170

ADJUSTING THE ARC FORCE

It is advisable to set the Arc Force to the middle position (0) to start welding and then adjust it according to the results obtained and individual welding preferences. Note: The adjustment range of the Arc Force is specific to the type of electrode chosen.

POWER

A method developed for welding with DMOS-regulated energy control. As well as displaying the energy of the weld bead after welding, this mode allows the setting of the thermal coefficient according to the standard used: One for ASME standards and 0.6 (TIG) or 0.8 (MMA/MIG-MAG) for European standards. The energy displayed is calculated taking into account this coefficient.

OPTIONAL PUSH-PULL TORCH

Reference number	Wire diameter	Length	Cooling type
046283	0.6 > 1.2 mm	4 m	Air

A push-pull torch can be connected to the power source via the socket (I-9). This type of torch allows the use of AlSi wire even in ∅ 0.8 mm. This torch can be used in all MIG-MAG welding modes. The Push-Pull torch is detected by simply pulling the trigger.

When using a push-pull torch with potentiometer, the highest control range setting can be set using the interface.

The potentiometer can then range anywhere between 50% and 100% within this setting.

Calibration

Calib. Speed

Feature designed to calibrate the speed of the motorised reel. The purpose of calibration is to compensate for variations in reel speed in order to adjust the displayed voltage measurement and to refine the energy calculations.

The procedure, once started, is explained with an animation on the screen.

Calibration of the motorised reel speed must be done regularly to ensure optimal welding.

Calib. The Cable

Feature is also dedicated to the calibration of welding accessories such as the torch, cable and electrode holder, as well as the cables and earth clamp. The purpose of calibration is to compensate for the accessories' length changes in order to adjust the displayed voltage measurement and to refine the energy calculations.

The process, once started, is explained with an animation on the screen.

Important : The cable calibration must be repeated each time the torch, harness or earth cable is changed to guarantee optimal welding.
