PROTECTING YOURSELF AND OTHERS

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

Welding exposes people to a dangerous source of heat, light radiation from the arc, electromagnetic fields (caution to those using pacemakers) and risk of electrocution, as well as noise 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 protective gloves which provide 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 procedures. 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. Inform people in the welding area not to stare at the arc rays or molten parts and to wear appropriate clothing for protection.

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 hands, hair and clothing away from moving parts (the ventilation fan, for example).

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.

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.

It is important to secure the working area before leaving it, in order to protect people and property.

WELDING FUMES AND GAS

The fumes, gases and dusts emitted by welding are harmful to health. Sufficient ventilation must be provided and an additional air supply may be required. An air-fed mask could be a solution in situations where there is inadequate ventilation.

Check the extraction system's performance against the relevant safety standards.

Caution: Welding in confined spaces requires safety monitoring 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.

Cylinders should be stored in open or well-ventilated areas. They should be stored in an upright position and kept on a stand or trolley.

Welding should not be carried out near grease or paint.

RISK OF FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS

Fully shield the welding area, flammable materials should be kept at least 11 metres away. Fire fighting equipment should be kept close to wherever the welding activities are being undertaken.

Beware of spatter or spark projection, as they are a potential source of fire or explosion, even through cracks.

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

Welding in closed containers or tubes is to be avoided. If the containers or tubes are open, they must be emptied of all flammable or explosive materials (oil, fuel, gas residues, etc.).

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

GAS CYLINDERS

Gas escaping from cylinders can cause suffocation if there is too high a concentration of it in the welding area (ensure good ventilation).

The machine must be transported in complete safety: gas cylinders must be closed and the welding power source turned off. They should be stored upright and supported to limit the risk of falling.

Close the cylinder between uses. Beware of temperature variations and exposure to the sun.

The cylinder must not come into contact with flames, arcs, torches, earth clamps or any other sources of heat or ignition.

Be sure to keep it away from electrical and welding circuits. 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 from the rating plate. An electric shock can be the source of a serious accident, whether directly or indirectly, 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 machine's, disconnect it from the mains and wait two minutes to ensure that all the capacitors are 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 cable cross-section according to the intended application. Always use dry and in-fact clothing to insulate yourself from the welding circuit. Alongside this, wear well-insulated footwear in all working environments.

EMC CLASSIFICATION

This Class A device is not intended for use in a residential environment where power is provided by the public low-voltage local supply network. Ensuring electromagnetic compatibility may be difficult at these sites due to conducted, as well as radiated, radio frequency interference.

TITAN 231 DC FV :

Provided that the impedance of the public low-voltage power supply network at the common coupling point is less than Zmax = 0.301 Ohms, this machine complies with IEC 61000-3-11 and can be connected to public low-voltage electrical supply. It is the responsibility of the fitter or operator of the equipment to ensure, by consulting the electricity distribution network provider if necessary, that the network impedance complies with impedance restrictions.

TITAN 321 DC TRI :

This equipment complies with the IEC 61000-3-11 standard.

TITAN 231 DC FV :

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

TITAN 321 DC TRI :

This equipment does not comply with IEC 61000-3-12 and is intended to be connected to private low-voltage systems interfacing with the public supply only at the medium- or high-voltage level. On a public low-voltage power grid, it is the responsibility of the installer or user of the device to ensure, by checking with the operator of the distribution network, which device can be connected.

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 must be taken for people with medical implants. For example, restricted access for onlookers or an individual risk assessment for welders.

All welders should use the following procedures to minimize exposure to electromagnetic fields from the welding circuit:

• position the welding cables together - securing them with a clamp if possible;
• 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 transport the welding power source or wire feeder while welding.

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 operations are to be carried out.

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 measurements can also be used to confirm the effectiveness of mitigation measures.

GUIDELINES ON HOW TO REDUCE ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS

a. Public mains power supply: 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 shield should be connected to the welding power source to ensure that there is good electrical contact between the conduit and the welding power source enclosure.
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 linking 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. It is necessary to insulate the operator 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

The machine is equipped with a handle to easy transportation. Be careful not to underestimate its weight. The handle cannot be used to hang or attach the machine on something else.

Do not use the cables or torch to move the welding power source. It should be moved 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 transportation requirements are different.

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 machine is IP23S rated, meaning:
• its dangerous parts are protected from being entered by objects greater than 12.5 mm and,
• it is protected against rain falling at an angle of up to 60° from vertical, providing that any moving parts (fan) are stationary.
  This product can therefore be stored outdoors in accordance with the IP23 protection rating.

The power cables, extensions and welding cables must be fully uncoiled to prevent 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 cable. 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

TITAN 231 DC FV:

This equipment is delivered with a single-phase 3-pole (P+N+PE) 230V 16A CEE17 socket. The machine is equipped with a «Flexible Voltage» system and can be powered by an earthed electrical installation between 110V and 240V (50 - 60 Hz).

TITAN 321 DC TRI:

This equipment is delivered with a 16 A socket type EN 60309-1 which must be connected to a three-phase 400V (50 - 60 Hz) power supply fitted with four wires and one earthed neutral.

The actual absorbed current (I1eff) for optimal operating conditions is indicated on the equipment. Check that the power supply and its protection (fuse and/or circuit breaker) are compatible with the current required to run the machine. In some countries, changing the plug may be necessary to ensure the machine's optimum performance.

This machine will enter a protection mode if the supply voltage is higher or lower than 15% of the specified voltage(s) (a fault code will appear on the keypad display).

TITAN 231 DC FV :

Starting is done by pressing the START/STOP switch (On), and stopping is done by pressing the same switch (Off)

TITAN 321 DC TRI :

Starting is done via an on / off switch set to I, and the stop is done by switching it to O.

Warning! Never switch off the power supply while the unit is under load.

• Fan performance: this product is equipped with an intelligent ventilation management system to minimise the noise of the machine. The fans will adjust their speed according to usage and the surrounding temperature. In MMA mode, the fan will run continuously. In TIG mode, the fan runs only during the welding phase and stops after cooling.
• Caution: Increasing the length of the torch or earth return cables beyond the maximum length specified by the manufacturer increases the risk of electric shock.
• The arc ignition and stabilisation device is designed for manual and mechanically guided operation.

CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE

This equipment can be powered by a generator, provided that the auxiliary power supply meets the following requirements:

- The voltage must be alternating, set as specified, and with a peak voltage of less than 700 V for the TITAN 321 DC and 400 V for the TITAN 231 DC FV.

- 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 an appropriate length and cross-section to suit the voltage of the equipment. Use an extension lead that complies with national safety regulations.

TIG WELDING PROCESSES

- Standard

The Standard TIG mode provides high quality welding on most ferrous materials such as steel and stainless steel, but also on copper and its alloys, and titanium etc. The various current and gas management options give you complete control over the welding process, from ignition through to the final cooling of the weld bead.

E Weld A S % Std V Hz kJ SETUP PRICE 3° S / JOB

The grayed-out areas are not available in this mode.

- Pulse

Pulse current welding mode consists of a sequence of high current pulses (I, welding pulse) followed by low current pulses (I_Cold, workpiece cooling pulse). Pulse mode allows pieces to be assembled while limiting temperature rises and warping. Idéal aussi en position.

Example:

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

F(Hz) is set to 10Hz, the period of the signal will be 1/10Hz = 100ms every 100ms, during this period a pulse at 100A then another at 50A will follow..

Recommendations:

Choice of frequency:

• If welding with manual filler metal, then F(Hz) is synchronised to the filler action,
• If thin without filler (< 0.8 mm), F(Hz) >> 10Hz
• Positional/vertical welding, then F(Hz) 5 < 100Hz

SPECIAL TIG WELDING PROCESSES

- Spot (Mode adjustable directly from the welding cycle)

This mode is for spot welding, which allows workpieces to be pre-assembled prior to welding. Spot welding can be done manually using the trigger or timed with a predefined spot welding period. Spot welding allows for better reproducibility and non-oxidised weld points.

- Tack (Mode adjustable directly from the welding cycle) This welding mode also allows for the pre-assembly of workpieces before welding, but in two stages this time: the first phase is pulsed DC to concentrate the arc for better penetration, followed by a second phase in standard DC to widen the arc, and therefore the weld pool, to ensure the spot. The adjustable times of the two phases allow for better repeatability and non-oxidised points.

• E-Weld (activated on the welding cycle)

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, E-Weld mode guarantees that the machine will respect the welding power regardless of the torch's position in relation to the workpiece.

COMPATIBLE TORCHES AND TRIGGER BEHAVIOUR

Trigger Double Button Double Button + Potentiometer Up & Down

For the 1-button torch, the button is called the «Main button».

For the 2-button torch, the first button is called the «Main button» and the second one is called «Secondary button».

• 2T

Main button T1 T2

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.

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 double button and double button + potentiometer torches => «up/weld current» button turns on the potentiometer, the «down» button turns it off.

• 4T LOG

Main button or Secondary button T1 T2 T3 T4 <0.5s <0.5s >0.5s

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 function is used during welding:

- 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 begins to downslope and stops at the I_Stop phase.

T4 - The main button is released and the cycle ends with Post-Gas.

For double button or double trigger + potentiometer torches, the «high» trigger has the same function as the single trigger torch. The «low» trigger, when held down, switches to the cold current. When using a potentiometer torch, the welding current can be adjusted between 50% and 100% of the value displayed. The Up & Down function allows the current at the torch to be set very precisely (the complete current range is adjustable).

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.

MMA WELDING PROCESSES

- Standard

This welding method is suitable for most applications. It is suitable for welding with all types of coated, rutile, basic and cellulosic electrodes and on all materials: steel, stainless steel and cast iron.

Recommendations:

• Use low Hot Start for thin sheets, and high Hot Start for thicker sheets and difficult metals (dirty or oxidised parts).
• The Arc Force can be adjusted from -10 to +10 It should be considered in conjunction with the choice of electrode type selected in the Advanced Menu (see Advanced Menu).

Adjustable values
HotStart	Electrode types	Arc Force
0 - 100 %	RutileBasicCellulosic	-10 > +10

The selection of the electrode type is in the welding cycle, after current setting (I).

The grayed-out areas are not available in this mode.

- Pulse

This welding mode is recommended for applications in a vertical upright position (PF). Pulsing keeps the weld pool colder while still promoting material transfer. Without pulsing, vertical rising welds require a «fir tree» movement, i.e. a challenging triangular movement. With MMA Pulse, this movement is not necessary, and depending on the thickness of your workpiece, a straight upward movement may be sufficient. However, if you want to enlarge your weld pool, a simple sideways movement similar to flat welding will be adequate. If this is the case, you can set the frequency of your pulse current on the display. This process offers greater control of vertical welding tasks.

Recommendations:

• Use low Hot Start for thin sheets, and high Hot Start for thicker sheets and difficult metals (dirty or oxidised parts).
• The Arc Force can be adjusted from -10 to +10 This should be considered in combination with the electrode type selected in the Advanced Menu (see below).

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: very dynamic arc with a high melting speed, its suitability for use in all positions makes it ideal for pipeline work.

i

The default code 000 can be changed via the SETUP menu. See following pages for details.

MEMORISING AND RECALLING JOBS

• Job Out/Job In

The settings in use are automatically saved and remembered the next time you turn on the machine.

In addition to the current settings, it is possible to save and recall «JOB» configurations.

There are 50 JOBS for each welding process, with memory storage for:

- The main parameter,

• The secondary parameter (MMA, TIG),
• Sub-processes and trigger modes.

Recall an existing «Job Out» configuration:

• Press the «JOB» button on the keypad, select it using the thumbwheel Job Out
• Confirm by pressing the button on the thumbwheel,
• The display shows the previously stored JOB number (01 to 50) flashing. Si aucun JOBS n'est créé, l'afficheur indique «Empty»
• Turn the thumbwheel to select the JOB you wish to retrieve,
• Confirm by pressing the button on the thumbwheel,
• The recall is carried out / immediate exit from the menu.

Save a setting «JOB IN»:

• Press the «JOB» button on the keypad, select it using the thumbwheel Job In
• Confirm by pressing the button on the thumbwheel,
• The display indicates a memory slot (01 to 50) while flashing. Fast blinking = JOB already in use. Slow flashing = free space.
• Turn the thumbwheel to select a memory slot for the configuration to be saved,
• Confirm by pressing the button on the thumbwheel,
• The entry is completed / immediate exit from the menu occurs.

Supprimer un JOB :

• Press the «JOB» button on the keyboard, select with the thumbwheel Job In
• Confirm by pressing the button on the thumbwheel,
• Turn the wheel to select the JOB you wish to delete and hold down the «JOB» button on the keyboard for 3s.
• A DELETE message is displayed on the keyboard, the previously selected JOB is now deleted.

- Quick Load «q.L. «:

Quick Load is a non-welding JOB retrieval mode (50 max) and is only available when using TIG. JOB recalls are performed by briefly releasing (<0.5s) the torch buttons.

This mode is accessed via the «JOB» menu, then the submenu q.L. Disabled by default q.L. OFF, the user activates this mode by entering the JOB number at the end of the sequence to be recalled (the sequence starts at the first JOB). At least 2 JOBS must be saved prior to that.

Eg: if JOBS 2, 5, 7 and 10 have been created and the user enters number 7, then the JOBS recalled will be 2, 5 and 7.

When the mode is activated, the first JOB is recalled and displayed on the HMI (in the example: JOB 2).

The recall is looped: when the last JOB in the queue is reached (example: JOB 7), the following one will be the first in the sequence (in the example: JOB 2).

Welding is activated by pressing the button for longer than 0.5s.

The HMI will behave with the relevant information:

• The JOB is permanently displayed as well as the parameters (TIG LIFT/HF..., 2T/4T.../ Pulse/Spot...).
• The weld cycle is accessible and can be modified (the JOB is adjustable*),
• The menus are accessible and modifiable. Example:

- JOB 5, amended, JOB IN / JOB 5, the JOB is overwritten with the new parameters and saved.

- JOB 5, amended, JOB IN / non-existent JOB, it will be integrated into the current q.L. if, and only if, the new JOB X is a smaller number than the JOB already entered.

- The JOB recall is disabled when navigating the welding cycle settings or one of the two menus.

* A JOB is de-set by a HMI action (welding parameter adjustment, JOB recall ...), welding is then allowed with the new settings. If a JOB recall is initiated, then the first JOB in the sequence is recalled.

CHAINING «CHn»:

Chaining is a complex JOB recall mode (50 max) and only possible in TIG Standard and TIG Pulse mode (all the JOBs set in 2T are changed to 4T):
- When not welding, briefly (<0.5s) releasing the torch button will scroll through all stored JOBS one by one. On reaching the last item in the list, the selection goes back to the first item.
- Welding is activated by pressing the top button for 0.5s, whereas in the standard mode it is activated immediately upon pressing this button.
- During welding, briefly releasing the button (<0.5s) will recall a defined number of consecutive JOBs, also known as the sequence, starting from the previously recalled JOB when not welding.

This mode is accessed via the «JOB» menu, then the submenu CHn. Disabled by default CHn OFF, the user activates this mode by entering a number of JOBS that make up the sequence. At least 2 JOBS must be saved prior to that. Spot welding jobs (SPOT, TACK), are no longer part of the list of saved JOBS (they are transparent).

Example: if JOBS 1 to 50 have been created and the user has entered number 3 in the submenu «CHn»:

• When the sub-mode is activated and not welding, briefly releasing the torch button will scroll through the JOBS one by one from the 1st to the 50th and then loop back again. Here the user displays the JOBS and chooses the 10.
• Pressing the button for over 0.5s allows to start welding with JOB 10 (first of the sequence) and briefly releasing it loads JOB 11 and then JOB 12 (these 3 JOBS make the sequence).
• When the welding stops, the JOB 10 is loaded and displayed on the interface (this saves the user the task of having to show all the JOBS again).

Job10 Job11 Job12 >0.5s<0.5s<0.5s>0.5s

The HMI will behave with the relevant information:

• The JOB is permanently displayed as well as the parameters (TIG LIFT/HF, 4T, Pulse...).
• The weld cycle is accessible and can be modified (the JOB is adjustable*),
• The menus are accessible and modifiable. Eg:

- JOB 5, amended, SAVE IN / JOB 5, the JOB is overwritten with the new parameters and saved.

- JOB 5, amended, SAVE IN / non-existent JOB, it will be integrated into the current q.L. if, and only if, the new JOB X is a smaller number than the JOB already entered.

• When currently browsing the welding cycle or one of the two menus, the JOB recall function is disabled.
• During welding, when recalling a JOB of the sequence, the screen displays JOB X for 1s.

* A JOB is changed by action on the interface without saving, the welding is authorised without taking into account the modifications on the JOB recalled.

OPTIONAL REMOTE CONTROL

- RC-HA1 Analogue remote control (ref. 045675 / 066625):

An analogue remote control can be connected to the power source via the socket (I-9).

This remote control allows the current to be adjusted from 50% to 100% of the set value. In this setup, all modes and features of the power source are accessible and configurable.

- Remote control pedal RC-FA1 (ref. 045682):

A remote control pedal can be connected to the power source via the socket (I-9).

The foot pedal allows the current to be varied from minimum to 100% of the current setting. In TIG, the machine only works in 2T mode. Furthermore, the increase and decrease of the current is no longer managed by the power source (inactive function) but by the operator via the foot pedal.

Connection:

1- Connect the remote control to the socket (I-9).
2- The interface automatically detects the remote control and displays a selection of options accessible with the thumbwheel:

OPTIONAL COOLING UNIT

Reference	Product Name	Cooling power	Capacity	Power supply voltage
070820	KOOLWELD 1	1,000 W	3 L	24 V DC

The cooling unit is automatically detected by the machine.

In the menu SEt UP → ●→ Con FIG. → ●

Co.U. On : the cooling unit is always running.

Co.U. OFF : the cooling unit can be deactivated in TIG mode.

Co.U. Auto : activation of the cooling unit during welding and deactivation 10 minutes after the end of welding.

The safety features supported by the cooling unit, to ensure the protection of the user and the torch, are as follows:

• Minimum coolant level.
- Minimum flow rate of coolant flowing through the torch.
• Thermal protection of the coolant.

Make sure that the cooling unit is switched off before disconnecting the inlet and outlet hoses for torch liquid. Coolant is harmful and irritates the eyes, mucous membranes and skin. Hot liquid may cause burns.

CALIBRATION

This mode is dedicated to the calibration of the welding accessories such as the torch, or earth clamp and cable.

The purpose of calibration is to compensate for variations in accessory lengths, so as to adjust the displayed voltage measurement and improve the energy calculation.

Access to calibration is done in the menu SEt UP → CaL Ibr.

The first step C.C. ACC. requires short-circuiting the accessories. In TIG, it is recommended that the short circuit be made between the collet holder and the ground clamp or directly on the workpiece. Once the short circuit has been made, confirm with the thumbwheel.

The second stage begins, and a progress bar CaL. III is displayed on the HMI of the power source. Pressing a button on the torch initiates the flow of the calibration current.

If the procedure was successful, the machine exits calibration mode automatically, along with a brief overview of the resistance value of the accessory. This value is now reflected in the voltage display and the energy calculation.

If unsuccessful, the menu exits automatically and displays a long CaL. no . If the operation fails, the circuit was not done correctly and the calibration must be redone.

DISPLAY CURRENT/VOLTAGE DURING WELDING

During welding, the machine measures and displays the welding current and voltage.

After the weld, the average current and voltage values or the energy and duration of the welding bead are displayed until the interface (buttons or scrollwheel) are touched, if the weld resumes or that a trigger press is not carried out.

Access to the current / voltage or energy / time configuration is available through the menu SEt UP → EnE rGY AFF

ENERGY MODE

This mode (which was developed for welding with DMOS-supported energy control) allows, in addition to the energy display of the weld bead post-welding, to set :

- The thermal coefficient C_T according to the standard used: 1 for ASME standards and 0.6 (TIG) or 0.8 (MMA) for European standards. The energy displayed is calculated taking into account this coefficient.

- Length of the weld bead L (OFF - mm): if a bead length is registered, then the energy display changes from joules, to joules/mm (the unit in the display «J» flashes).

TROUBLESHOOTING

This device has a fault monitoring system. In the event of a problem, error messages may be displayed.

If the user needs to open the product, they must turn off the power supply by disconnecting the electrical plug from the socket, and wait two minutes for safety.

*Les facteurs de marche sont réalisés selon la norme EN60974-1 à 40°C et sur un cycle de 10 min. Lors d'utilisation intensive (supérieur au facteur de marche) la protection thermique peut s'enclencher, dans ce cas, l'arc s'éteint et le témoin s'allume. Laissez l'appareil alimenté pour permettre son refroidissement jusqu'à annulation de la protection. La source de courant décrit une caractéristique de sortie de type tombante. Dans certains pays, UO est appelé TCO.
*The duty cycles are measured according to standard EN63974-1 à 40°C and on a 10 min cycle. While under intensive use (> to duty cycle) the thermal protection can turn on, in that case, the arc switches off and the indicator switches on. Keep the machine's power supply on to enable cooling until thermal protection cancellation. The welding power source describes an external drooping characteristic. In some countries, UO is called TCO.
* Einschaltdauer gemäß EN80574-1 (10 Minuten - 40°C). Bei sehr intensivem Gebrauch (Einschaltdauer) kann der Thermoschulz ausgelöst werden. In diesem Fall wird der Lichtbogen abgeschaltet und die entsprechende Warnung erscheint auf der Anzeige. Das Gerät zum Akühlen nicht ausschallen und laufen lassen bis das Gerät weder benefit. Das Gerät entspricht in seiner Charakteristik einer Spannungsquelle mit fallender Kernlinis. In einigen Ländern wird U0 als TCO bezeichnet.
*Los ciclos de trabajo están realizados en acuerdo con la norma EN60974-1 a 40°C y sobre un ciclo de diez minutos. Durante un uso intensivo (superior al ciclo de trabajo), se puede activar la protección térmica. En este caso, el arco se apaga y el indicador | ¡se enciende. Deje el aparato conectado para permitir que se entfrie hasta que se anule la protección. La fuente de corrente de soldadura posee una salida de tipo corriente constante. En algunos países, UO se llama TCC.
