2.3 General
DANGER
Electric shock!
Welding machines use high voltages which can result in potentially fatal electric shocks
and burns on contact. Even low voltages can cause you to get a shock and lead to
accidents.
• Do not touch any live parts in or on the machine!
• Connection cables and leads must be free of faults!
• Switching off alone is not sufficient!
• Place welding torch and stick electrode holder on an insulated surface!
• The unit should only be opened by specialist staff after the mains plug has been
unplugged!
• Only wear dry protective clothing!
• Wait for 4 minutes until the capacitors have discharged!
Electromagnetic fields!
The power source may cause electrical or electromagnetic fields to be produced which
could affect the correct functioning of electronic equipment such as IT or CNC devices,
telecommunication lines, power cables, signal lines and pacemakers.
• Observe the maintenance instructions - See 6 Maintenance, care and disposal chapter!
• Unwind welding leads completely!
• Shield devices or equipment sensitive to radiation accordingly!
• The correct functioning of pacemakers may be affected (obtain advice from a doctor if
necessary).
Do not carry out any unauthorised repairs or modifications!
To avoid injury and equipment damage, the unit must only be repaired or modified by
specialist, skilled persons!
The warranty becomes null and void in the event of unauthorised interference.
• Appoint only skilled persons for repair work (trained service personnel)!

WARNING
Explosion risk!
Apparently harmless substances in closed containers may generate excessive pressure
when heated.
• Move containers with inflammable or explosive liquids away from the working area!
• Never heat explosive liquids, dusts or gases by welding or cutting!
Smoke and gases!
Smoke and gases can lead to breathing difficulties and poisoning. In addition, solvent
vapour (chlorinated hydrocarbon) may be converted into poisonous phosgene due to
the ultraviolet radiation of the arc!
• Ensure that there is sufficient fresh air!
• Keep solvent vapour away from the arc beam field!
• Wear suitable breathing apparatus if appropriate!
Fire hazard!
Flames may arise as a result of the high temperatures, stray sparks, glowing-hot parts
and hot slag produced during the welding process.
Stray welding currents can also result in flames forming!
• Check for fire hazards in the working area!
• Do not carry any easily flammable objects such as matches or lighters.
• Keep appropriate fire extinguishing equipment to hand in the working area!
• Thoroughly remove any residue of flammable substances from the workpiece before
starting welding.
• Only continue work on welded workpieces once they have cooled down.
Do not allow to come into contact with flammable material!
• Connect welding leads correctly!
Danger when coupling multiple power sources
!
Coupling multiple power sources in parallel or in series
has to be carried out by
qualified personnel and in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines. Before
bringing the power sources
into service for arc welding operations, a test has to verify
that they cannot exceed the maximum allowed open circuit voltage.
• Connection of the machine
may be carried out by qualified personnel only!
• When decommissioning individual power
sources, all mains and welding current leads have
to be safely disconnected from the welding system as a whole. (Danger due to inverse
voltages
!)
• Do not couple welding machines with pole reversing switch (PWS series) or machines for
AC welding, as a minor error in operation can cause the welding voltages to be combined.
CAUTION
Noise exposure!
Noise exceeding 70 dBA can cause permanent hearing damage!
• Wear suitable ear protection!
• Persons located within the working area must wear suitable ear protection!

Damage to the machine due to stray welding currents!
Stray welding currents can destroy protective earth conductors, damage equipment and
electronic devices and cause overheating of components leading to fire.
• Make sure all welding leads are securely connected and check regularly.
• Always ensure a proper and secure electrical connection to the workpiece!
• Set up, attach or suspend all conductive power source components like casing, transport
vehicle and crane frames so they are insulated!
• Do not place any other electronic devices such as drillers or angle grinders, etc., on the
power source, transport vehicle or crane frames unless they are insulated!
• Always put welding torches and electrode holders on an insulated surface when they are
not in use!
Mains connection
Requirements for connection to the public mains network
High-performance machines can influence the mains quality by taking current from the mains
network. For some types of machines, connection restrictions or requirements relating to the
maximum possible line impedance or the necessary minimum supply capacity at the interface
with the public network (Point of Common Coupling, PCC) can therefore apply. In this respect,
attention is also drawn to the machines' technical data. In this case, it is the responsibility of
the operator, where necessary in consultation with the mains network operator, to ensure that
the machine can be connected.

CAUTION
EMC Machine Classification
In accordance with IEC 60974-10, welding machines are grouped in two electromagnetic
compatibility classes - See 8 Technical data chapter:
Class A machines are not intended for use in residential areas where the power supply comes
from the low-voltage public mains network. When ensuring the electromagnetic compatibility of
class
A
machines, difficulties can arise in these areas due to interference not only in the supply
lines but also in the form of radiated interference.
Class B machines fulfil the EMC requirements in industrial as well as residential areas,
including residential areas connected to the low-voltage public mains network.
Setting up and operating
When operating arc welding systems, in some cases, electro-magnetic interference can occur
although all of the welding machines comply with the emission limits specified in the standard.
The user is responsible for any interference caused by welding.
In order to evaluate any possible problems with electromagnetic compatibility in the
surrounding area, the user must consider the following: (see also EN 60974-10 Appendix A)
• Mains, control, signal and telecommunication lines
• Radios and televisions
• Computers and other control systems
• Safety equipment
• The health of neighbouring persons, especially if they have a pacemaker or wear a hearing
aid
• Calibration and measuring equipment
• The immunity to interference of other equipment in the surrounding area
• The time of day at which the welding work must be carried out
Recommendations for reducing interference emission
• Mains connection, e.g. additional mains filter or shielding with a metal tube
• Maintenance of the arc welding equipment
• Welding leads should be as short as possible and run closely together along the ground
• Potential equalization
• Earthing of the workpiece. In cases where it is not possible to earth the workpiece directly,
it should be connected by means of suitable capacitors.
• Shielding from other equipment in the surrounding area or the entire welding system

5.1 General
WARNING
Risk of injury from electric shock!
Contact with live parts, e.g. welding current sockets, is potentially fatal!
• Follow safety instructions on the opening pages of the operating instructions.
• Commissioning may only be carried out by persons who have the relevant expertise of
working with arc welding machines!
• Connection and welding leads (e.g. electrode holder, welding torch, workpiece lead,
interfaces) may only be connected when the machine is switched off!
CAUTION
Insulate the arc welder from welding voltage!
Not all active parts of the welding current circuit can be shielded from direct contact. To
avoid any associated risks it is vital for the welder to adhere to the relevant safety
regulations. Even low voltages can cause a shock and lead to accidents.
• Wear dry and undamaged protective clothing (shoes with rubber soles/welder's gloves
made from leather without any studs or braces)!
• Avoid direct contact with non-insulated connection sockets or connectors!
• Always place torches and electrode holders on an insulated surface!
Risk of burns on the welding current connection!
If the welding current connections are not locked, connections and leads heat up and
can cause burns, if touched!
• Check the welding current connections every day and lock by turning in clockwise direction,
if necessary.
Risk from electrical current!
If welding is carried out alternately using different methods and if a welding torch and
an electrode holder remain connected to the machine, the open-circuit/welding voltage
is applied simultaneously on all cables.
• The torch and the electrode holder should therefore always be placed on an insulated
surface before starting work and during breaks.

CAUTION
Damage due to incorrect connection!
Accessory components and the power source itself can be damaged by incorrect
connection!
• Only insert and lock accessory components into the relevant connection socket when the
machine is switched off.
• Comprehensive descriptions can be found in the operating instructions for the relevant
accessory components.
• Accessory components are detected automatically after the power source is switched on.
Using protective dust caps!
Protective dust caps protect the connection sockets and therefore the machine against
dirt and damage.
• The protective dust cap must be fitted if there is no accessory component being operated
on that connection.
• The cap must be replaced if faulty or if lost!
Observe documentation of other system components when connecting!
5.2 Installation
CAUTION
Installation site!
The machine must not be operated in the open air and must only be set up and
operated on a suitable, stable and level base!
• The operator must ensure that the ground is non-slip and level, and provide sufficient
lighting for the place of work.
• Safe operation of the machine must be guaranteed at all times.
5.3 Machine cooling
To obtain an optimal duty cycle from the power components, the following precautions should be
observed:
• Ensure that the working area is adequately ventilated.
• Do not obstruct the air inlets and outlets of the machine.
• Do not allow metal parts, dust or other objects to get into the machine.
5.4 Workpiece lead, general
CAUTION
Risk of burns due to incorrect connection of the workpiece lead!
Paint, rust and dirt on the connection restrict the power flow and may lead to stray
welding currents.
Stray welding currents may cause fires and injuries!
• Clean the connections!
• Fix the workpiece lead securely!
• Do not use structural parts of the workpiece as a return lead for the welding current!
• Take care to ensure faultless power connections!

5.5 Welding torch cooling system
CAUTION
Coolant mixtures!
Mixtures with other liquids or the use of unsuitable coolants result in material damage
and renders the manufacturer's warranty void!
• Only use the coolant described in this manual (overview of coolants).
• Do not mix different coolants.
• When changing the coolant, the entire volume of liquid must be changed.
Insufficient frost protection in the welding torch coolant!
Depending on the ambient conditions, different liquids are used for cooling the welding
torch - See 5.5.1 List of coolants chapter.
Coolants with frost protection (KF 37E or KF 23E) must be checked regularly to ensure
that the frost protection is adequate to prevent damage to the machine or the accessory
components.
• The coolant must be checked for adequate frost protection with the TYP 1 frost protection
tester .
• Replace coolant as necessary if frost protection is inadequate!
The disposal of coolant must be carried out according to official regulations and observing the
relevant safety data sheets (German waste code number: 70104)!
Coolant must not be disposed of together with household waste.
Coolant must not be discharged into the sewerage system.
Recommended cleaning agent: water, if necessary with cleaning agent added.
5.5.1 List of coolants
The following coolants may be used - See 9 Accessories chapter:

5.8 Shielding gas supply (shielding gas cylinder for welding machine)
WARNING
Incorrect handling of shielding gas cylinders!
Incorrect handling of shielding gas cylinders can result in serious and even fatal injury.
• Observe the instructions from the gas manufacturer and in any relevant regulations
concerning the use of compressed air!
• Place shielding gas cylinders in the holders provided for them and secure with fixing
devices.
• Avoid heating the shielding gas cylinder!
CAUTION
Faults in the shielding gas supply.
An unhindered shielding gas supply from the shielding gas cylinder to the welding
torch is a fundamental requirement for optimum welding results. In addition, a blocked
shielding gas supply may result in the welding torch being destroyed.
• Always re-fit the yellow protective cap when not using the shielding gas connection.
• All shielding gas connections must be gas tight.
Before connecting the pressure regulator to the gas cylinder, open the cylinder valve briefly to
expel any dirt.

5.8.2 Shielding gas setting
Rule of thumb for the gas flow rate:
Diameter of gas nozzle in mm corresponds to gas flow in l/min.
Example: 7mm gas nozzle corresponds to 7l/min gas flow.
Incorrect shielding gas setting!
• If the shielding gas setting is too low or too high, this can introduce air to the weld pool and
may cause pores to form.
• Adjust the shielding gas quantity to suit the welding task!
• Slowly open the gas cylinder valve. Conduct a gas test - See 5.8.3 Gas test chapter
• Set the required amount of shielding gas on the pressure reducer, about 4 - 15 l/min depending on the
current strength and the material.

The machine is operated according to the TIG Synergic operating principle:
The three basic parameters
• tungsten electrode diameter (A),
• material type (B) and
• seam type (C)
are used to select the welding task (JOB).
All welding parameters specified here are the optimum settings for a variety of applications, but they can
also be modified individually.
The required welding current can be set as the sheet metal thickness or conventionally as the welding
current (D).
The parameters and functions described here can also be programmed by PC using the Tetrix PCT 300
welding parameter software.
The Tetrix machine range has been designed to be very easy and quick to operate, whilst still providing
all the functions one could ever need.

5.13.1 Synergic parameter setting in the functional sequence
When setting the welding current, all the necessary welding parameters are adjusted automatically during
the functional sequence - See 4.4.1 Function sequence chapter with the exception of the gas pre-flow
time. These welding parameters can also be set in the conventional way if required (regardless of the
welding current) - See 5.13.2 Conventional parameter setting in the functional sequence chapter.
Figure 5-13
5.13.2 Conventional parameter setting in the functional sequence
All welding parameters in the functional sequence can also be adjusted, regardless of the welding current
set. This means that if the welding current is changed, the values for the down slope time or gas post-flow
time remain unchanged, for example. The welding task still needs to be selected as before using the
three basic parameters of tungsten electrode diameter, material type and seam type.
The parameters for the ignition, secondary and end currents can be set and displayed as
percentage values or absolute values- See 5.24 Machine configuration menu chapter.

5.16 TIG welding task definition
The user defines the welding tasks using JOB numbers.
Each JOB number stores all the parameters relating to the welding task.
The user can either load an existing JOB, load an existing JOB and change it, or define a completely new
JOB via the various interfaces.
The welding task or JOB is defined using the following parameters:
Basic parameters
The JOB number is defined using the four basic welding parameters:
welding process, material type, wire diameter and seam type.
Program sequence
Other welding parameters, such as parameters for the start program, secondary program or end program
and the gas pre-flow time, slope times and many more are preset for a variety of applications, but can be
modified where required. On the various interfaces, the most important welding parameters are displayed
directly and can be modified where required.
Operating point
The operating point can be set via up to 15 (PROG 1 to PROG 15) freely definable programs using a
robot interface (RINT X12/BUSINT X11), for example.
• The welding current, operating mode and pulse function are stored in each program. These program
parameters can be set on a PC or the tablet PC RC 300 using the PC 300 welding parameter
software. The program number is selected by the robot control.
The digital system calculates the process parameters required, such as the welding current, welding
voltage and pulse current according to the operating point specified.
Operating mode
Non-latched or special non-latched (start, main and end program).
These parameters are predefined by the robot control via robot interface RINT X12 or BUSINT X11 (see
the relevant interface documentation).
Welding type
Pulse or standard welding.
This parameter setting is specified by the robot control via the RINT X12 or BUSINT X11 robot interface
(see documentation in the relevant interface description).

5.17.3 Automated pulses
The automated pulses are used with tacking and spot welding of workpieces in particular.
An oscillation in the molten pool is produced by the current-dependent pulse frequency and balance,
which positively influences the ability to bridge the air gap. The pulse parameters required are
automatically specified by the machine control.

• “Operating mode” button
• “Welding parameter setting” rotary transducer
• “Display switching” button
• “TIG pulse welding” button
• “Select welding parameters” button
• “Gas test” button
5.19 Welding programs
Changes made to the other welding parameters during the course of the program have the
equivalent effect on all programs.
The change to the welding parameters is saved immediately in the JOB.
The welding machine has 16 programs, which you can change during welding.
In each selected welding task (JOB), - See 5.13.3 Welding task selection chapter, 16 programs can be
set, saved and called up. In program “0” (default setting) the welding current can be infinitely adjusted
across the entire range. In programs 1-15, 15 different welding currents (incl. operating mode and pulse
function) are defined.
Example:
Program number
Welding current
Operating mode Pulse function
1 80A Non-latched Pulses on
2 70A Latched Pulses off
The operating mode cannot be changed during the welding process. If welding is started with program 1
(non-latched operating mode), program 2 controls the setting of ignition program 1 despite the latched
setting and is implemented to the end of the welding process.
The pulse function (pulses off, pulses on) and the welding currents are transferred from the
corresponding programs.

5.20 Organising welding tasks (Mode "JOB Manager")
Welding jobs (JOBs) / programs are organised (configured, managed, created) using the
parameterisation software PC300.Net. JOBs are switched with an interface (e.g., RINT X12).
Please note the relevant documentation of the accessory components.
The JOB Manager can be used to load, copy or save JOBs.
A JOB is a welding task defined using the 4 main welding parameters
• welding process,
• material type,
• electrode diameter and
• seam type.
One program sequence can be defined in each JOB.
Up to 16 programs (P0 to P15) can be set in each program sequence.
The user has a total of 249 JOBs available. 121 of these JOBs are pre-programmed. A further 128 JOBs
can be freely defined.
A distinction is made between two memory sectors:
• 121 factory-set, pre-programmed, permanent JOBs. Permanent JOBs are not loaded but are defined
by the welding task (each welding task is permanently assigned a JOB number).
• 128 freely definable JOBs (JOBs 129 to 256)
After carrying out any of the actions described, the machine switches back to the default
parameters such as current and voltage.
To ensure that all the changes are active, the welding machine should only be switched off after 5
seconds have elapsed.

5.20.7 spotArc
This process is suitable for tack welding or joint welding of metal sheets made from steel and CrNi alloys
up to a thickness of approximately 2.5 mm. Metal sheets of different thicknesses can also be welded on
top of one another. As this is a one-sided process, it is also possible to weld metal sheets onto tubular
sections such as round or square pipes. In arc spot welding, the arc melts through the upper metal sheet
and the lower metal sheet is melted onto it. This produces flat, fine-textured welding tacks which require
little or no post weld work, even in visible areas.
The spot welding operating modes (spotArc/Spotmatic) can be used with two different intervals, i.e. a
"long" or "short" interval, which are defined as follows:
Interval Setting range Up-/down-slope Pulsing AC Display Display
Long 0.01–20.0 s (10 ms) Yes Yes Yes
Short 5–999 ms (1 ms) No No No
When selecting the spotArc operating mode, the long interval is automatically preselected. When

change the interval in the Configuration menu- See 5.24 Machine configuration menu chapter.

5.20.8 TIG activArc welding
The EWM activArc process, thanks to the highly dynamic controller system, ensures that the power
supplied is kept virtually constant in the event of changes in the distance between the welding torch and
the weld pool, e.g. during manual welding. Voltage losses as a result of a shortening of the distance
between the torch and molten pool are compensated by a current rise (ampere per volt - A/V), and vice
versa. This helps prevents the tungsten electrode sticking in the molten pool and the tungsten inclusions
are reduced. This is particularly useful in tacking and in spot welding.

WARNING
No function of the external interrupt equipment (emergency stop switch)!
If the emergency stop circuit has been set up using an external interrupt equipment
connected to the interface for automated welding, the machine must be configured for
this setup. If this is not observed, the power source will ignore the external interrupt
equipment and will not shut down!
• Remove jumper 1 on the T320/1, M320/1 or M321 PCB!
CAUTION
Equipment damage due to unshielded control leads!
Unshielded control leads can cause damage to the power source and accessory
components.
• Use shielded control leads only.
The power sources satisfy an extremely high safety standard,
even in combination with peripheral devices for mechanised welding, provided these devices comply with
the same criteria, especially with regard to insulation from the mains supply.
When using transformers according to VDE 0551, maintaining this safety standard is ensured.
The welding machines are ready for automated applications as standard.
For common applications, the interface for automated welding is equipped with control inputs and
potential-free relay contacts.

5.21.7 Sensor Voltage
The sensor voltage is transmitted via PIN F of the mechanised welding torch connection socket (X53).
Outside the welding process, there is a voltage of approx. 12 V on the welding torch electrode. If the
electrode comes into contact with the workpiece or the molten pool, the short-circuit produced means that
when using the relevant interface (BUSINT X11/RINT X12), the resultant signal can be used for various
functions (e.g. workpiece search).
The output signal can be used to connect the cold wire component in order to enable fusing detection at
the end of the process.

WARNING
No function of the external interrupt equipment (emergency stop switch)!
If the emergency stop circuit has been set up using an external interrupt equipment
connected to the interface for automated welding, the machine must be configured for
this setup. If this is not observed, the power source will ignore the external interrupt
equipment and will not shut down!
• Remove jumper 1 on the T320/1, M320/1 or M321 PCB!
