1 INTRODUCTION

This manual describes operation and use of the M2 control panel, installed in the AristoFeed 30--4 and AristoFeed 48--4 wire feed units.

For general information on operation, see the operating instructions for the power source.

1.1 Electrode or wire?

MIG/MAG welding uses a consumable electrode, wound on a bobbin (coil). Throughout this manual, it is referred to “wire”.

1.2 The control panel

1 Knob for selecting 2 / 4--stroke control mode 2 Knob for setting the burn--back time 3 Yellow indicating lamp -- non--specific fault indication 4 Knob for setting the inductance 5 Knob for setting the wire feed speed 6 Knob for setting the arc voltage

1.3 Remote control unit

Using a remote control unit, the primary parameters of the welding process can be controlled from a device other than the control panel.

Aristo machines with intergral control panels should have program version 1.21 or higher, in order for the remote control to function correctly.

When the remote control unit is connected, the power source is in remote control mode; the buttons and knobs are blocked. The functions can only be adjusted via the remote control unit.

1.4 Setting ranges

Welding parameter Setting range Adjustment steps

2/4--stroke 2--stroke or 4--stroke --

2 -- stroke or 4--stroke

With 2--stroke, the gas pre--flow begins when the welding gun trigger switch is pressed. The welding process begins after this. When the trigger switch is released, welding is stopped and gas post--flow starts.

With 4--stroke, the gas pre--flow begins when the welding gun trigger switch is pressed. When the welding gun trigger switch is released, the welding process starts. When the trigger switch is pressed again, the welding data is reduced to a lower value. When the gun trigger switch is released, welding is stopped and gas post--flow starts.

Gas pre--flo w

Gas pre--flow is when the shielding gas flows before the arc is struck.

Gas post--flow

Gas post--flow is when the shielding gas continues to flow after the arc has gone out.

Burn--back time

Burn-- back time is a delay between the time when the wire starts to decelerate (i.e. the power to the drive motor is turned off) and when the power unit extinguishes the arc. Too short a burn --back time results in long wire stickout after conclusion of welding, with a risk of the wire fastening in the weld pool as it solidifies. A long burn--back time, on the other hand, shortens the stickout but increases the risk of the arc jumping to the wire contact tip.

Inductance

Higher inductance results in a wider weld pool and less spatter. Lower inductance produces a harsher sound but a stable, concentrated arc.

Wire feed speed

The wire feed speed is expressed in the linear speed of the wire in m/minute.

Creep start

Creep starting feeds out the wire at 50 % of the set speed until it makes electrical contact with the workpiece.

Arc voltage

Higher arc voltage increases the arc length and produces a hotter and wider weld.

2 FAULT INDICATION

If the lamp: Cause Action

-- flashes

-- is steadily lit

The LED glows / flashes as long as the fault is detected, it can only be reset if the fault is repaired and the machine restarted.

The control panel has lost contact with the power unit or the wire feed unit.

The coolant flow switch has operated. S Check the cooling water flow . No gas flow. S Check the gas valve, the hoses and

The thermal overload trips have operated.

The mains voltage to the power unit is too high.

S Check the cables. It will be

necessary to turn off the power supply to reset the system.

connectors.

S Check to see if the air filter is

clogged.

S Check the mains voltage. It will be

necessary to turn off the power supply to reset the system.

3 ORDERING SPARE PARTS

Note!

All guarantee undertakings from the supplier cease to apply if the customer himself attempts any work in the product during the guarantee period in order to rectify any faults.

Spare parts may be ordered through your nearest ESAB dealer, see the last page of this publication.
