Il reste une TENSION DC NON NÉGLIGEABLE dans les sources de soudage onduleur quand on a coupé l’alimentation. D Arrêter les convertisseurs, débrancher le courant électrique et décharger les condensateurs d’alimentation selon les instructions indiquées dans la partie Entretien avant de toucher les pièces. DES PIÈCES CHAUDES peuvent provoquer des brûlures graves.
ACCUMULATIONS risquent de provoquer des blessures ou même la mort. D Fermer l’alimentation du gaz protecteur en cas de non-utilisation. D Veiller toujours à bien aérer les espaces confi- nés ou se servir d’un respirateur d’adduction d’air homologué. LES CHAMPS MAGNETIQUES peuv- ent affecter des implants médicaux.
LES FILS DE SOUDAGE peuvent provoquer des blessures. D Ne pas appuyer sur la gâchette avant d’en avoir reçu l’instruction. D Ne pas diriger le pistolet vers soi, d’autres per- sonnes ou toute pièce mécanique en enga- geant le fil de soudage. DES ORGANES MOBILES peuvent provoquer des blessures.

Duty Cycle And Overheating 6 Minutes Welding Overheating Notes OM-2251 Page 12 60% Duty Cycle 4 Minutes Resting Reduce Duty Cycle Minutes Duty Cycle is percentage of 10 min- utes that unit can weld at rated load without overheating. If unit overheats, output stops, a Help message is displayed and cooling fan runs.
4-3. Connecting 1-Phase Input Power Tools Needed: OM-2251 Page 14 =GND/PE Earth Ground Insulate and isolate red conductor as shown. Connect green grounding conductor to disconnect device grounding terminal first. Connect input conductors L1 and L2 to disconnect device line terminals. 10 Overcurrent Protection Select type and size of overcurrent protection using Section 4-5 (fused...
4-4. Connecting 3-Phase Input Power Tools Needed: = GND/PE Earth Ground Installation must meet all National and Local Codes − have only quali- fied persons make this installation. Disconnect and lockout/tagout in- put power before connecting input conductors from unit. Always connect green or green/ yellow conductor...
4-5. Electrical Service Guide NOTICE − INCORRECT INPUT POWER can damage this welding power source. Phase to ground voltage shall not exceed +10% of rated input voltage. NOTICE − Actual input voltage should not be 10% less than minimum and/or 10% more than maximum input voltages listed in table. If actual input voltage is outside this range, output may not be be available.
4-6. Weld Output Terminals And Selecting Cable Sizes ARC WELDING can cause Electromagnetic Interference. To reduce possible interference, keep weld cables as short as possible, close together, and down low, such as on the floor. Locate welding operation 100 meters from any sensitive electronic equipment. Be sure this welding machine is installed and grounded according to this manual.
‘ 4-7. Optional Gas Valve Operation And Shielding Gas Connection GAS IN GAS OUT OM-2251 Page 18 Obtain gas cylinder and chain to running gear, wall, or other station- ary support so cylinder cannot fall and break off valve. Cylinder Regulator/Flowmeter Install so face is vertical.
SECTION 5 − OPERATION 5-1. Front Panel Controls Power Switch The fan motor is thermostatically controlled and only runs when cooling is needed. Voltmeter Ammeter V/A (Voltage/Amperage) Adjustment Control Mode Switch Mode switch setting determines the process. ARC CONTROL For Air Carbon Arc (CAC-A) cutting and goug- ing, place switch in Stick position.
