SECTION 3 − INSTALLATION

3-1. Important Information Regarding CE Products (Sold Within The EU)


A. Information On Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)

! This equipment shall not be used by the general public as the EMF limits for the general public might be exceeded during welding.
This equipment is built in accordance with EN 60974−1 and is intended to be used only in an occupational environment (where the general public
access is prohibited or regulated in such a way as to be similar to occupational use) by an expert or an instructed person.
Wire feeders and ancillary equipment (such as torches, liquid cooling systems and arc striking and stabilizing devices) as part of the welding
circuit may not be a major contributor to the EMF. See the Owner’s Manuals for all components of the welding circuit for additional EMF exposure
information.

 The EMF assessment on this equipment was conducted at 0.5 meter.

Definitions Of Inputs And Outputs

Inputs

A - Closure to D starts the weld cycle. Opening closure stops weld cycle. During 2T operation, a momentary closure (greater than 100ms, but
less than 3/4 seconds) starts and stops weld output.

B - Closure to D turns on gas. If a preflow time is entered, the preflow cycle will time out before arc initiation. If a post flow time is entered, the
post flow cycle will time out at the end of the weld, even if B to D closure is opened.

C - Closure to D must be maintained at all times. If the closure between pins C and D is broken, an output disable occurs, Postflow begins to
time out, and HELP 13 will be displayed on the meters.

Outputs

Outputs are isolated open-collector transistor which are able to conduct at least 60 mA of current and 27 VDC peak.

Final Slope - output is on when in Final Slope.

Pulse Lockout - output is on when in Initial Amperage, Initial Slope, Final Slope, Final Amperage, during background time, and when the pulse
frequency is less than 10 Hz.

Arc On - output is on when the contactor is on and amperage is greater than 5 amps, or output voltage is greater than 5 volts but less than 50
volts.

3-16. Electrical Service Guide


 Actual input voltage should not fall below 103 volts AC or rise above 506 volts AC. If actual input voltage is outside this range, unit may not operate
according to specifications.

Failure to follow these electrical service guide recommendations could create an electric shock or fire hazard. These recommenda-
tions are for a dedicated branch circuit sized for the rated output and duty cycle of the welding power source.

In dedicated circuit installations, the National Electrical Code (NEC) allows the receptacle or conductor rating to be less than the rating
of the circuit protection device. All components of the circuit must be physically compatible. See NEC articles 210.21, 630.11, and
630.12.

1 If a circuit breaker is used in place of a fuse, choose a circuit breaker with time-current curves comparable to the recommended fuse.
2 “Time-Delay” fuses are UL class “RK5” . See UL 248.
3 “Normal Operating” (general purpose - no intentional delay) fuses are UL class “K5” (up to and including 60 amps), and UL class “H” ( 65 amps and
above).
4 Conductor data in this section specifies conductor size (excluding flexible cord or cable) between the panelboard and the equipment per NEC Table
310.15(B)(16). If a flexible cord or cable is used, minimum conductor size may increase. See NEC Table 400.5(A) for flexible cord and cable
requirements.

TIG HF Impulse - When selected,
a pulsed HF (non-contact) (see
Section 4-7) arc starting method is
activated. This method can be used
with either AC or DC TIG welding.
Make connections according to
Section 3-12.
TIG Lift-Arc - When selected, is
an arc starting method in which the
electrode must come in contact
with the workpiece to initiate an arc
(see Section 4-7). This method can
be used with either AC or DC TIG
1 welding. Make connections ac-
cording to Section 3-12.
Stick (SMAW) - This method can
be used with either AC or DC Stick
welding. Make connections ac-
cording to Section 3-13.

4-7. Lift-Arc™ And HF TIG Start Procedures
Lift-Arc Start
When Lift-Arc button light is On, start arc as
follows:
1 TIG Electrode
2 Workpiece
Touch tungsten electrode to workpiece at weld
start point, enable output and shielding gas with
torch trigger, foot control, or hand control. Hold
Lift-Arc Start Method electrode to workpiece for 1-2 seconds, and
1 2 slowly lift electrode. Arc is formed when electrode
is lifted.
Normal open-circuit voltage is not present before
tungsten electrode touches workpiece; only a low
sensing voltage is present between electrode and
workpiece. The solid-state output contactor does
1−2 not energize until after electrode is touching work-
“Touch” Seconds piece. This allows electrode to touch workpiece
without overheating, sticking, or getting
contaminated.
Application:
Lift-Arc is used for the DCEN or AC GTAW pro-
cess when HF Start method is not permitted, or to
replace the scratch method.
HF Start
When HF Start button light is On, start arc as
follows:
Do NOT Strike Like A Match! High frequency turns on to help start arc when out-
put is enabled. High frequency turns off when arc
is started, and turns on whenever arc is broken to
help restart arc.
Application:
HF start is used for the DCEN GTAW process
when a non-contact arc starting method is
required.

tion 4-4). Also, the ammeter LED for
the corresponding unit of measure
(A, S) of the active parameter will be
illuminated.
See Section 4-12 for all Sequencer
4 parameter ranges.
INITIAL A (Initial Amperage) - Use
control to select a starting amper-
age that is different from the weld
amperage.
Application:
Initial Amperage can be used while
GTAW welding to assist in preheat-
ing cold material prior to depositing
filler material, or to ensure a soft
start.
INITIAL t (Initial Time)(LX Models
1 Only) - Press control again and turn
Encoder to select amount of time
that is needed at the beginning of
the weld.
INITIAL SLOPE t (Initial Slope
Time) Use control to select amount
of time that it takes to slope up/
down from initial amperage to weld
amperage. To disable, set to 0.
4 Amperage Switch Pad
Weld Time (LX Models Only) -
Press Amperage switch pad twice.
Set desired length of weld time.
FINAL SLOPE t (Final Slope Time)
- Use control to select amount of
time that it takes to slope up/down
from weld amperage to final amper-
age. To disable, set to 0.
Application:
Final Slope should be used while
GTAW welding materials that are
crack sensitive, and/or the operator
wants to eliminate the crater at the
end of the weld.
FINAL A (Final Amperage) - Use
control to select amperage to which
weld amperage has sloped up/
down to.
FINAL t (Final Time)(LX Models
Only) - Press control again and turn
Encoder to select amount of time
that is needed at the end of the
weld.

4-11. Adjust Controls (Preflow/Post Flow/DIG/Purge)
1 Adjust
Press switch pad until desired function
LED is illuminated.
2 Encoder Control
3 Ammeter
Turn encoder to set appropriate value for
active Adjust parameter. Value selected is
shown on the ammeter (see Section 4-4).
Also, the ammeter LED for the correspond-
3 ing unit of measure (S, %) of the active pa-
rameter will be illuminated.
See Section 4-12 for all Adjust parameter
ranges.
2
PREFLOW - If the TIG HF process is ac-
tive (see Section 4-6) and Preflow is
shown on the control panel, use control to
set length of time gas flows before arc initi-
ation. To set Preflow time for models that
do not have Preflow Time control on the
front panel, see Section 5-1.
Application: Preflow is used to purge the
immediate weld area of atmosphere. Pre-
flow also aids in consistent arc starts.
POST FLOW - If the TIG process is active
(see Section 4-6), use control to set length
of time gas flows after welding stops.
AUTO POST FLOW - Creates a post flow
time scaled at 1 second per 10 amps amps
of the peak weld amperage for a given weld
cycle. Auto post flow is limited to an 8
second minimum, or to the maximum pre-
set post flow time.
Application:
1
Postflow is required to cool tungsten and
weld, and to prevent contamination of
tungsten and weld. Increase postflow time
if tungsten or weld are dark in appearance.
DIG - If the Stick process is active (see
Section 4-6), use control to set amount of
DIG. When set at 0, short-circuit amperage
at low arc voltage is the same as normal
welding amperage.
When setting is increased, short-circuit
amperage at low arc voltage increases.
Application:
Control helps arc starting or making verti-
cal or overhead welds by increasing am-
perage at low arc voltage, and reduces
electrode sticking while welding.
PURGE - While in the TIG process (see
Section 4-6), to activate the gas valve and
start the purge function, push and hold the
Adjust switch pad for the desired amount of
purge time. To set from 0 to 50 seconds of
additional purge time, continue to hold the
Adjust switch pad while turning the encod-
er control. Factory default setting is 0.
While Purge is active, [PUR] is shown in
the left display, and purge time is shown in
the right display.
Pressing any front panel switch pad will
end the purge time display, but gas will
continue to flow until the preset time has
timed out.
Application: Purge is used to clear the
shielding gas lines of contaminates.

7-42. Using Test Mode To Check Machine Output
Turn power on while pressing and holding the A, Process, Output, and Ad-
just switch pads until software number and revision clears the displays.
The displays will now show [tSt] [150] and meter A LED will be lit.
Output Selections: Press the Output switch pad to select RMT STD or ON.
Selecting On or activating the remote contactor (14-Pin B) in RMT STD
turns output on with output voltage shown on left display. A normal OCV
output is approximately 74 VDC.
Output amperage is shown on the right display. A low amperage may be
displayed, typically no more than 1 amp with no actual amperage flow.
The following items are disabled:
Software closed loop amperage control
Sense voltage
HF output
Boost output
Gas output
Pulser
Help 8 (VFB over voltage)
Help 21 (IFB or VFB with contactor off)
Fan turns on and remains on as required after output is turned off to cool
machine.
Amperage Preset:
Amperage preset control defaults at 150 amps, and can be adjusted for the
full range of the machine from 5 to 200 amps.
Remote (14-Pin E) Amperage Control:
When the remote amperage control is set below the 10 VDC maximum in-
put, the left display displays [trt]. The right display displays the preset am-
perage trimmed to the remote input level.
Output amperage is limited to the displayed trimmed amperage.

7-43. Checking Unit Output After Servicing


 Use output waveforms to check unit output
after servicing (see Section 7-18).
1 Weld Output Terminals
Check open-circuit voltage between terminals
according to Section 7-17 (voltage V-8)
If correct voltage and/or waveforms are not
present, repeat troubleshooting procedures.

 Perform a load bank test to ensure welding


power source operates properly after ser-
vicing. Be sure load bank is capable of
handling the rated output of the welding
power source being tested (see load bank
Owner’s Manual).
The load bank will simulate a weld load and
the electrical demand on the unit. See
Specifications Section for rated output.
If unit does not perform at rated output, re-
peat troubleshooting procedures in
Section 7-14.
Reinstall cover and side panels if removed.
