6.2 Precautions for Use of the Engine Generator
/\ CAUTION
@ Use the auxiliary power of engine welder whose voltage waveform has been improved. Some
of the engine welders have poor electricity, which may cause product damage. Contact an
engine welder manufacturer for improvement of waveform.
To prevent the engine generator or auxiliary power from being damaged, follow the instructions below.
® Set the output voltage of the engine generator to the voltage range between 230 and 240V at no-load
welding operation. Setting to extremely high output voltage may result in product damage.
8 Use the engine generator with a damper winding of which capacity is more than twice as much as the
rated input of the welding machine. Generally, the recovery time of the engine generator's voltage for
load change is slower than that of the commercial input power source, and if the engine generator
does not have sufficient capacity, sudden current change such as arc start will occur. This may result
in abnormal decrease in output current or arc loss. Ask an engine generator manufacturer for a
damper winding.
® Do not combine more than two welding machines with an engine generator. The affect of each
welding machine may cause easy loss of arc.

10. OPERATION (continued)
/\ CAUTION
@ This welding machine should be operated by persons only after reading and
understanding contents of this owners manual and having knowledge and skills for
handling the welding machine safely.
@ Use this welding power source at or under the rated duty cycle. Exceeding the rated duty
cycle limitation may result in damage to the welding machine.
When reading the operating instructions described below, unfold Page 64 so that you can read them
confirming the location of the keys on the front panel.
10.1 Basic Settings
10.1.1 Setting of Welding Mode
Choose the welding mode using the WELDING METHOD key {1], the WIRE/GAS selector keys
[2], and the WIRE DIA (inch) key [3] in accord with the welding method and wire diameter used.
The selectable welding modes are shown on the next page.
When setting the welding mode, select the welding method using the WELDING METHOD key
[1] first. Once the welding method is set, the available wire diameters are automatically decided
according to the welding method. Then, select wire/gas using the WIRE/GAS selector keys [2].
Finally, set the wire diameter with the WIRE DIA (inch) key [3].
For example, for welding power source, when selecting “WAVE PULSE” while setting "DC MILD
STEEL SOLID CO, 0.035" [0.9mm] " with the WELDING METHOD key [1], the "MILD STEEL
SOLID CO" lamp blinks, which means the preset combination is incorrect. in that case, select
material and gas again using the WIRE/GAS selector keys [2] or reset the welding method using
the WELDING METHOD key [1]. Selecting the proper combination of material and gas can
cancel the error and activate the welding power source.
Wrong combination of welding mode and wire diameter will cause "---"and “---" in the displays to
blink, the LED {amps to light, and the welding power source to stop.
The following table shows the selections of wire diameter for setting current at aluminum welding.

The standard setting value of arc characteristic is 0. As the setting value of the arc characteristic
is set in the negative direction (up to -10), arc condition becomes harder. (Similar to less
inductance) As the setting value of the arc characteristic is set in the positive direction (up to
10}, arc condition becomes softer (Similar to more inductance). When you use the welding
power source in the low current range, set the setting value of the arc characteristic in the
negative direction to obtain good welding results. When you use the welding machine in the
high current range, set the setting value of the arc characteristic in the positive direction to
obtain good welding results. If you can not obtain optimum arc condition due to use of the
extension cables, set the setting value of the arc characteristic in the negative direction.

10.1.5 WAVE PULSE Function
In wave pulse welding, the ripple bead appearance is changed by applying two separate pulses
cyclically at low frequency. This feature will also assist in welding joints that have some poor fit
up or gaps. Although, the wave mode is usually most applicable for fully automatic welding,
benefits are also achieved even in semi-automatic applications. Good bead appearances are
obtained by setting the wave frequency to SHz or more even for semi-automatic.
When setting wave pulse frequency, select “DC WAVE PULSE” with the WELDING METHOD
Key [1]. Normaily, the WELDING METHOD key does not function during pulse welding or no-
pulse welding. When the WAVE PULSE key is pressed, the WAVE PULSE lamp (located at the
upper left of the WAVE PULSE key) lights up, the setting value appears in the left display, the
“Hz” LED lamp lights up. Under these conditions, wave pulse frequency can be adjusted while
turning the parameter adjusting knob. The setting range of wave pulse frequency is 0.5 Hz to
32 Hz. Adjust wave pulse frequency until you can obtain the desired bead appearance.
When pressing the WAVE PULSE key or DISPLAY CHANGE key again, return to the last
parameter that you have set. When changing the display to a current-related parameter, press
the A/IPM selector key [4]. When changing the display to a volt-related parameter, press the
V/t selector key [5].
NOTE:
© Wave pattern of the weiding bead varies depending on the heat input during welding.

Ex. 2) When the setting value of anti-stick (burnback) time is -10, subtract 0.1
second from the standard anti-stick (burnback) time.
(2) Fine Adjustment of Anti-stick (Burnback) Voltage: F2*
Anti-stick (Burnback) voltage means the voltage which is output when processing is
carried out to prevent electrode wire from fusing to base metal at the end of welding.
Anti-stick (Burnback) voltage is preset to proper conditions according to welding
methods and wire diameters at shipment, but it can be finely adjusted by activating
F2. The standard anti-stick (burnback) voltage is preset to “0”. When the voltage is
set in the negative direction, it decreases. When the voltage is set in the positive
direction, if increases. The fine adjustment range is 0 V to +9.9V.
(3) Setting of Pre-flow Time: F&*

unstabie welding is caused from maifunction of puise weld, use a voltage detection
cable for directiy detecting arc voltage(-). When using a welding extension cable
that is more than 100ft [30m] long, use an arc voltage direct detection cable. This
direct connection will be necessary to sense precise welding voltage for stable
welding. Connect between base metal and Wire Feeder Cabinet or the direct
voltage detection (-) termina! inside the welding power source.
After connecting the voltage detection cabie, activate the function of voltage direct
detection by setting F12 to “on”. The function is preset to “oFF” (invalid) at factory.
NOTE: When using the equipment with such as brush for feeding parts like a
turn table, connecting the voitage detection cable to the terminal for the base
metal power cable after setting F12 to “on” is recommended.

pressing the DISPLAY CHANGE key, you can return to the fine adjustment value
display mode.
[Example of Fine Adjustment of the Unit Pulse Conditions]
When making a fine adjustment of the unit pulse conditions, adjust the pulse peak
time first. Take longer fine adjustment time when large droplet and unstable arc
(droplet transfer) occurs. Take shorter fine adjustment time when sharp tip of wire
and extremely strong arc occurs. Adjust the pulse peak current following the same
steps as puise peak time adjustment.
[Precaution for the Fine Adjustment of the Unit Pulse Conditions]
Maximum pulse peak current which can be output varies depending on the type
(capability) of welding machine or arc load. When the pulse peak current finely
adjusted exceeds the maximum pulse peak current, the preset pulse peak current is
not output.
