Safety instructions

General

WARNING

Smoke and gases!

Smoke and gases can lead to breathing difficulties and poisoning. In addition, solvent vapour (chlorinated hydrocarbon) may be converted into poisonous phosgene due to the ultraviolet radiation of the arc!

• Ensure that there is sufficient fresh air!

• Keep solvent vapour away from the arc beam field!

• Wear suitable breathing apparatus if appropriate!

Fire hazard!

Flames may arise as a result of the high temperatures, stray sparks, glowing-hot parts and hot slag produced during the welding process.

Stray welding currents can also result in flames forming!

• Check for fire hazards in the working area!

• Do not carry any easily flammable objects such as matches or lighters.

• Keep appropriate fire extinguishing equipment to hand in the working area!

• Thoroughly remove any residue of flammable substances from the workpiece before starting welding.

• Only continue work on welded workpieces once they have cooled down.

Do not allow to come into contact with flammable material!

• Connect welding leads correctly!

Risk of accidents if these safety instructions are not observed!

Non-observance of these safety instructions is potentially fatal!

• Carefully read the safety information in this manual!

• Observe the accident prevention regulations in your country.

• Inform persons in the working area that they must observe the regulations!

Danger when coupling multiple power sources

!

Coupling multiple power sources in parallel or in series has to be carried out by qualified personnel and in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines. Before bringing the power sources into service for arc welding operations, a test has to verify that they cannot exceed the maximum allowed open circuit voltage.

• Connection of the machine may be carried out by qualified personnel only!

• When decommissioning individual power sources, all mains and welding current leads have to be safely disconnected from the welding system as a whole. (Danger due to inverse voltages

!

)

• Do not couple welding machines with pole reversing switch (PWS series) or machines for

AC welding, as a minor error in operation can cause the welding voltages to be combined.

CAUTION

Noise exposure!

Noise exceeding 70 dBA can cause permanent hearing damage!

• Wear suitable ear protection!

• Persons located within the working area must wear suitable ear protection!

• Only insert and lock accessory components into the relevant connection socket when the machine is switched off.

Damage to the machine due to stray welding currents!

Stray welding currents can destroy protective earth conductors, damage equipment and electronic devices and cause overheating of components leading to fire.

• Make sure all welding leads are securely connected and check regularly.

• Always ensure a proper and secure electrical connection to the workpiece!

• Set up, attach or suspend all conductive power source components like casing, transport vehicle and crane frames so they are insulated!

• Do not place any other electronic devices such as drillers or angle grinders, etc., on the power source, transport vehicle or crane frames unless they are insulated!

• Always put welding torches and electrode holders on an insulated surface when they are not in use!

Mains connection

Requirements for connection to the public mains network

High-performance machines can influence the mains quality by taking current from the mains network. For some types of machines, connection restrictions or requirements relating to the maximum possible line impedance or the necessary minimum supply capacity at the interface with the public network (Point of Common Coupling, PCC) can therefore apply. In this respect, attention is also drawn to the machines' technical data. In this case, it is the responsibility of the operator, where necessary in consultation with the mains network operator, to ensure that the machine can be connected.

Safety instructions

General

CAUTION

EMC Machine Classification

In accordance with IEC 60974-10, welding machines are grouped in two electromagnetic

compatibility classes - See 8 Technical data chapter:

Class A machines are not intended for use in residential areas where the power supply comes from the low-voltage public mains network. When ensuring the electromagnetic compatibility of class A machines, difficulties can arise in these areas due to interference not only in the supply lines but also in the form of radiated interference.

Class B machines fulfil the EMC requirements in industrial as well as residential areas, including residential areas connected to the low-voltage public mains network.

Setting up and operating

When operating arc welding systems, in some cases, electro-magnetic interference can occur although all of the welding machines comply with the emission limits specified in the standard.

The user is responsible for any interference caused by welding.

In order to evaluate any possible problems with electromagnetic compatibility in the surrounding area, the user must consider the following: (see also EN 60974-10 Appendix A)

• Mains, control, signal and telecommunication lines

• Radios and televisions

• Computers and other control systems

• Safety equipment

• The health of neighbouring persons, especially if they have a pacemaker or wear a hearing aid

• Calibration and measuring equipment

• The immunity to interference of other equipment in the surrounding area

• The time of day at which the welding work must be carried out

Recommendations for reducing interference emission

• Mains connection, e.g. additional mains filter or shielding with a metal tube

• Maintenance of the arc welding equipment

• Welding leads should be as short as possible and run closely together along the ground

• Potential equalization

• Earthing of the workpiece. In cases where it is not possible to earth the workpiece directly, it should be connected by means of suitable capacitors.

• Shielding from other equipment in the surrounding area or the entire welding system

3.1 Applications

3.1.1 MIG/MAG standard welding

Metal arc welding using a wire electrode whereby gas from an external source surrounds the arc and the molten pool to protect them from the atmosphere.

3.1.1.1 forceArc

Heat-reduced, directionally stable and powerful arc with deep penetration for the higher performance range. Non-alloyed, low-alloy and high-alloy steels and high-tensile fine-grained steels

3.1.1.2 rootArc

Short arc with perfect weld modelling capabilities for effortless gap bridging and positional welding

3.1.1.3 MIG/MAG cored wire welding

Welding with cored wire electrodes consisting of a metal casing and a powder core.

As with MIG/MAG standard welding, the arc is protected from the atmosphere by shielding gas. The gas is supplied either externally (gas shielded cored wires) or produced in the arc by means of the powder core (self-shielding cored wires).

3.1.2 TIG (Liftarc) welding

TIG welding process with arc ignition by means of workpiece contact.

3.1.3

MMA welding

Manual arc welding or, for short, MMA welding. It is characterised by the fact that the arc burns between a melting electrode and the molten pool. There is no external protection; any protection against the atmosphere comes from the electrode.

3.1.3.1 Air arc gouging

During air arc gouging, bad welding seams are heated with a carbon electrode and then removed with compressed air. Special electrode holders and carbon electrodes are required for air arc gouging.

Not all active parts of the welding current circuit can be shielded from direct contact. To avoid any associated risks it is vital for the welder to adhere to the relevant safety regulations. Even low voltages can cause a shock and lead to accidents.

• Wear dry and undamaged protective clothing (shoes with rubber soles/welder's gloves made from leather without any studs or braces)!

• Avoid direct contact with non-insulated connection sockets or connectors!

• Always place torches and electrode holders on an insulated surface!

Risk of burns on the welding current connection!

If the welding current connections are not locked, connections and leads heat up and can cause burns, if touched!

• Check the welding current connections every day and lock by turning in clockwise direction, if necessary.

Risk of injury due to moving parts!

The wire feeders are equipped with moving parts, which can trap hands, hair, clothing or tools and thus injure persons!

• Do not reach into rotating or moving parts or drive components!

• Keep casing covers or protective caps closed during operation!

Risk of injury due to welding wire escaping in an unpredictable manner!

Welding wire can be conveyed at very high speeds and, if conveyed incorrectly, may escape in an uncontrolled manner and injure persons!

• Before mains connection, set up the complete wire guide system from the wire spool to the welding torch!

• Remove the pressure rollers from the wire feeder if no welding torch is fitted!

• Check wire guide at regular intervals!

• Keep all casing covers or protective caps closed during operation!

Risk from electrical current!

If welding is carried out alternately using different methods and if a welding torch and an electrode holder remain connected to the machine, the open-circuit/welding voltage is applied simultaneously on all cables.

• The torch and the electrode holder should therefore always be placed on an insulated surface before starting work and during breaks.

Adjusting the cable resistance

5.16 Adjusting the cable resistance

The resistance value of cables can either be set directly or it can be matched using the power source.

The factory setting of the power sources is 8 m-ohm. This value correponds to a 5 m earth cable, a 1.5 m intermediate hose package and a 3 m water-cooled welding torch. With other hose package lengths, it is necessary to carry out a +/- voltage correction to optimise welding properties. The voltage correction value can be set close to zero by means of re-adjusting the cable resistance. It is recommended to match the electric cable resistance after replacing accessories such as torches or intermediate hose packages.

In case a second wire feeder is used the (rL2) parameter has to be adjusted. For all other configurations it is sufficient to match the (rL1) parameter.

Adjusting the cable resistance

1 Preparation

• Switch off the welding machine.

• Unscrew the gas nozzle from the welding torch.

• Trim the welding wire, so that it is flush with the contact tip.

• Retract the welding wire a little (approx. 50 mm) on the wire feeder. There should now be no more welding wire in the contact tip.

2 Configuration

• Press the "Welding parameter" push-button while simultaneously switching on the welding machine.

Release the "Welding parameter" push-button ("Choke effect" push-button with drive 4X LP).

• The required parameter can now be selected using the 'Welding parameter setting' rotary knob.

Parameter rL1 must be adjusted for all machine combinations.

In case of welding systems with a second power circuit

– if two wire feeders are to be operated from a single power source, for example

– a second adjustment with parameter rL2 must be performed.

3 Adjustment/measurement

• Applying slight pressure, put the welding torch in place with the contact tip on a clean, purged location on the workpiece and then press the torch trigger for approx. 2 seconds. A short-circuit current will flow briefly, which is used to determine and display the cable resistance. The value can be between

0 mΩ and 40 mΩ. The new value is immediately saved without requiring further confirmation. If no value is shown in the right-hand display, then measurement failed. The measurement must be repeated.

4 Restoring welding standby mode

• Switch off the welding machine.

• Screw the gas nozzle onto the welding torch.

• Switch on the welding machine

• Insert the welding wire.
