3. GENERAL NOTICE OF OPERATION
3.1 Rated Duty Cycle
‚1. CAUTION
O Use this welding power source at or under the rated duty cycie. Exceeding the rated
duty cycle limitation may result in damage to the welding machine.
® The rated duty cycie of the welding power source is the following:
- TIC WELDING: 40% (300 A)
. STICK WELDING: 40% (250 A)
NOTE:
e When using a dust-proof fan filter as standard equipment, observe the duty cycle listed
above.
e Use of any other filter may lead to an excess of the duty cycle limitations or damage to
the welding power source. Be sure to use the specified dust-proof fan filter. (Part
number: 4519-031)
eThe duty cycle of 40% means the way the
machine is rested for 6 minutes after 4 minutes of
continuous welding at the rated current.
e Failure to observe duty cycle limitations may
cause an excess of the tolerance of the
temperature inside the welding power source.
This may cause to premature welding power
source failure or product damage.
e The figure shown right indicates the relation
between welding current and duty cycie. Use
the welding power source within its usable
range, following the duty cycle for the welding
current.
e The duty cycle of the welding power source is
also limited by the duty cycles of accessories
combined with such as welding torches. Use
the welding power source within the lowest
rated duty cycle of the accessories.
® Choking the filter by dust may cause decrease
duty cycle. And also it may cause damage fo
the welding power source. So check the filter
periodically.

6.2 Precautions for Use of the Engine Generator
A. 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 welding power source from being damaged because of engine generator, follow the
instructions below.
e Set the output voltage of the engine generator to the voltage range between 400 and 420V at
no-load welding operation. Setting to extremely high output voltage may result in product damage.
e Use the engine generator with a damper winding of which capacity is more than twice as much as
the rated input of the welding power Source. Generally, the recovery time of the engine generators
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 cause abnormal decrease in output current or arc loss. Ask an engine generator
manufacturer for a damper winding. |
e Do not combine more than two welding machines with an engine generator. The affect of each
welding machine may cause €asy loss of arc.

10.1.3 AC TIG Welding
The AC TIG welding process is such that the polarity of electrode plus (+) from which cleaning
action is obtained and that of electrode
minus (-) in which electrode consumption is small are
inverted alternately to take advantage of the feature of both polarities. This type of welding is
suitable mainly for aluminium welding.
10.1.4 AC-DC TIG Welding
The AC-DC TIG welding process is such that the alternating current period during which
cleaning action is obtained and the direct current period during which deep penetration is
obtained are outputted alternately in a cyclical manner. This type of welding is suitable mainly
for automatic welding of aluminium.
10.1.5 Notice of using AC TIG mode

* CAUTION
If the welding current exceeds 200A in the hard mode, the bead width is larger than the cleaning width,
thus ceasing to place a favorable bead. Accordingly, the hard mode is suitable for the case when the
welding current is smaller than 200A.
10.1.7 AC Frequency
When the initial conditions, main conditions or crater filler conditions are being selected, press
the AC frequency setup key (®), and the LED in the left upper part lights up, the set point is
displayed on the right-side digital meter, then the “Hz” LED lights up. On the left-side digital
meter, the standard value is flashing on the display. In this condition, it is possible to set up the
AC frequency in AC TIG and AC-DC TIG welding, using the parameter adjusting knob (©). The
setup range is 50Hz to 200Hz.
By pressing the AC frequency setup key again or the parameter selection key (@), the system
display screen returns to the parameter item in which the parameter was adjusted to the value
of one step ago.
If the AC frequency is made high, the arc concentration will increase and if it is lowered, the arc
spread is on the increase. Also, even when AC frequency is changed, the depth of penetration
remains unchanged — constant.
In the condition that the AC waveform is "Standard" and “Soft”, the standard value for AC
frequency is 70Hz, while the standard value becomes 100Hz in “Hard”.

10.1.8 Cleaning Width Setup (т
By pressing the AC BALANCE key (©) when the initial conditions, main conditions or crater
filler conditions are being selected, the left-upper LED lights up and the set point is displayed
on the right-side digital meter. (At this time, all unit LEDs are going out.) In this condition, it is
possible to set up the intensity of arc cleaning action indispensable to AC TIG welding of
aluminium or the like with the parameter adjusting knob (@). The setup range is 0 to +20.
By pressing the AC BALANCE key again or parameter selection key (3), the parameter item
in which the parameter was adjusted to the value of one step ago is selected.
For the cleaning width set point, with “0” as standard, the cleaning width becomes small in the
minus direction, whose set point is “-20” max., and in the plus direction, the cleaning width
becomes large, whose set point is "20" max.
The relationship between the cleaning width setup and welded results & electrode consumption
extent or degree is as shown in the table below. :
Minus Direction D n
Small
Deep n
Less
Low ratio
"EN? refers to the period in which the base metal is positive in polarity (+) and the torch is
negative in polarity (-), and “EP” refers to the period in which the base metal is negative in
polarity (-) and the torch is positive in polarity (+).
The EP ratio is such that the current ratio
of EP polarity at one cycle of alternating
current is expressed in “percent”, which
is defined by the following equation:
iep
EP ratio= x 100%
len + lep
By adjusting this cleaning width, the EP ratio changes by 1% in relation to the manipulated
variable “1”. The EP ratio standard value (when the center position is “0”) differs among AC
waveforms, and the maximum and minimum values that can be set up as EP ratio also differ.
The value indicated on the digital meter can also be used as EP ratio in cleaning width setup.
For details, see *10.1.17 — Internal Function”.

(1) Manual insertion
In case where the AC-DC change-over frequency is 0.5Hz to 2Hz, insert a filler wire in synchronism
with AC period. Since the arc sound becomes large during AC period and it becomes smail during
| DC period, insert this filler wire with changes in arc sound as a guide.
(2) Automatic insertion
In case where a filler wire is inserted automatically, set it so that it is fed intermittently in
synchronism with the AC period.
The standard AC ratio is 70%. The AC ratio is such that the rate of AC period to one cycle of AC-
DC is represented in “%”, which is defined by:
AC ratio (%) = a/b x 100
Also, this AC ratio can be changed by using the internal function. For details, refer to “10.1.17;

10.1.10 Pulse setting ( JUL )
Pulsing is a technique to cyclically vary the welding current for st
abilized arcing, controlled
penetration geometry and/or controlled heat input, where arcing may be rigidified during high
current period for improved stability, and penetration geometry and heat input may be
controlled with the high/low current period ratio varied.
Pulse setting "ON” and “OFF” may be selected with the PULSE selection key [12]. The LED _
located on the upper left corner of the selection key indicates the status of pulse setting "ON”
and “OFF” when it is turned ON and OFF respectively. If the pulse setting is "ON, the
parameters “pulse current” and “puise frequency” may be selected with the parameter
selection key [3]. And the welding current becomes the base current.
Further, in case where the welding process used is “AC-DC TIG”, no pulse selection key can
be selected.

the indicator LED on the upper left of the mode selection key that turns ON or OFF for “Lift
start” or “High frequency start” respectively.
(1) High frequency start
@ Depress torch switch with electrode separated from base
metal. |
@ Arc is generated between electrode and base metal by
means of a high frequency spark.
UA
In the event that arcing does not start within approx. 5 seconds after high frequency is
generated, the high frequency and output voltage generation automatically stops. IT
high frequency generation stops in such way, the torch switch must be turned OFF and
then it should be depressed again.
If such problem remains unsolved,
. check if the cable and the torch are properly connected, and/or
- if the electrode tip has any irregularities.
(2) Lift start
This is a method to start an arc generation by supplying current to a circuit formed
with an electrode and a base metal contacted and separating the electrode from
the base metal. Neither high frequency nor high voltage is generated at the stari,
and no electromagnetic interference is caused.

1)Depress torch switch with electrode not contacted with base metal.
2) Bring electrode in touch with base metal. |
It is also possible to depress torch switch with electrode touched with base metal.
3) Draw the electrode apart from the base metal to generate arc.
Notes:
1) Even if torch switch is depressed with electrode not contacted with base
metal, no-load voltage is not applied (though gas is released).
2) Frequent arc starts may cause electrode surface to be stained (whitened),
due to which smooth arc start may be prevented. in such events, regrind the
electrode.
3) Nonexistence of pre flow period allows immediate arc start when electrode is
drawn apart from base metal. But if any defects were caused to an area to
start welding, adjust the time between touching and separation of electrode
and base metal as needed to provide suitable pre flow period so that the
electrode and the parts to be welded may be isolated from ambient air with
argon.
