GB 1 SAFETY Users of ESAB equipment have the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that anyone who works on or near the equipment observes all the relevant safety precautions. Safety precautions must meet the requirements that apply to this type of equipment. The following recommendations should be ob served in addition to the standard regulations that apply to the workplace. All work must be carried out by trained personnel well-acquainted with the operation of the equip ment.
GB WARNING Arc welding and cutting can be injurious to yourself and others. Take precautions when welding and cutting. Ask for your employer's safety practices which should be based on manufacturers' hazard data. ELECTRIC SHOCK - Can kill S Install and earth the unit in accordance with applicable standards. S Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or wet clothing. S Insulate yourself from earth and the workpiece. S Ensure your working stance is safe.
GB Dispose of electronic equipment at the recycling facility! In observance of European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and its implementation in accordance with national law, electrical and/or electronic equipment that has reached the end of its life must be disposed of at a recycling facility. As the person responsible for the equipment, it is your responsibility to obtain information on approved collection stations.
GB Mains supply, Ssc min Minimum short circuit power on the network in accordance with IEC 61000-3-12 Mains supply, Zmax Maximum permissible line impedance of the network in accordance with IEC 61000-3-11. Duty cycle The duty cycle refers to the time as a percentage of a ten-minute period that you can weld or cut at a certain load without overloading. The duty cycle is valid for 40° C. Enclosure class The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i. e.
GB WARNING Do NOT start the equipment with the cover removed. Do NOT connect the equipment under tension or when you are holding it or carrying it. Do NOT touch any of the torch's parts when the power supply is on. CAUTION This product is intended for industrial use. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference. It is the user's responsibility to take adequate precautions.
GB 4.2 Mains power supply Make sure that the power source is connected to the correct supply voltage and that it is protected by the correct fuse rating. The outlet shall have a protectiv earth connection.
GB 4.4 Connection for return cable Clamp the return cable to the workpiece. Be sure the workpiece is connected to an approved earth ground with a properly sized ground cable.
GB 4.5 Connection of torch Open the lid on the front panel. Connect the torch cable receptacle to the panel receptacle. Check the orientation of the sockets to ensure a correct fit. Connect the air hose to the quick-connect fitting. Place the strain relief in the square cutout in the front. Connect the mains cable into the plug on the front and turn it clockwise until it is secured. Put the lid back.
GB 5 OPERATION General safety regulations for handling the equipment can be found on page 4. Read through before you start using the equipment! 5.
GB 5.2 Control devices 1 Power switch ON/OFF 4 Torch trigger/ Gas test trigger 2 Output current control 5 Pressure regulator 3 Display Power switch - (1) Turn the knob clockwise to “ON” position for normal operation. Turn the knob counterclockwise to switch “OFF”. Output current control - (2) Adjustable from 20 to 60 A. For settings see cut data charts in the torch manual. Display - (3) Shows current settings during normal operation.
GB Torch trigger/Gas test switch - (4) Operating modes: Normal trigger (CENTER position) - Setting will be used for most cutting and gouging operations. The torch switch must be held in by the operator during the entire cutting operation and then released at the end of cut. Recommended for normal cutting, expanded metal/grate cutting and gouging. Trigger lock (DOWN position) - allows the torch switch to be released after triggering and the cutting arc has been initiated.
GB 5.3 Cutting 1. 2. 3. 4. Set the switch (wall socket or similar) to on. Check that the compressor is connected to the power source. Set the mains voltage switch to I (On). Flip the toggle switch upwards to gas test mode (GAS TEST). Set the pressure regulator to 5.5 bar (80 psi). 5. Set the toggle switch to normal mode (CENTER) or trigger lock mode (DOWN). 6. After starting the cut, the torch should be maintained at a 5 - 15° forward angle.
GB 6 MAINTENANCE Regular maintenance is important for safe, reliable operation. Only those persons who have appropriate electrical knowledge (authorized personnel) may remove the safety plates. WARNING Ensure that the mains voltage supply to the machine has been disconnected externally. Switch off the switch at the wall socket before inspecting or working in the power source. WARNING Water or oil can collect in the compressed air lines.
GB 7 FAULT TRACING WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCKS CAN KILL! Ensure that the mains voltage supply to the machine has been disconnected externally. Switch off the switch at the mains socket before inspecting or working in the power source. WARNING Plasma cutting equipment uses extremely high voltages that can cause severe injury or even death. Observe extreme caution when working with the covers removed. Try these recommended checks and inspections before sending for an authorized service technician.
GB 7.1 Fault codes Should a fault condition exist in normal operation, the display will show a code number. All fault signals will remain on for a minimum of 10 seconds. If the fault is cleared, all will reset automatically except for over-current. To clear over-current, the power must be shut off for 5 seconds and then turned back on. Code Problem Cause Solution 1 Mains voltage, idle +/– 15 % Incoming mains voltage may have fallen below or risen above the set nominal value. Check the mains voltage.
GB Code Problem Cause Solution 15 Bus charging fault Under voltage on the primary bus. Check the bus charger. 19 Torch trigger early engagement Torch trigger depressed at power up. Check the trigger. 20 No return at PIP (Parts In Place) check of consum ables. The piston was not withdrawn when air was released. Check/clean consumables. Check the compressed air supply. 21 No unbroken current path at PIP (Parts In Place) check of consumables.
