Obligations of
personnel
Mains connection
Protecting yourself and others
Before using the device, all persons instructed to do so undertake:
- to observe the basic instructions regarding safety at work and accident
prevention
- to read these operating instructions, especially the "Safety rules" section
and sign to confirm that they have understood them and will follow them.
Before leaving the workplace, ensure that people or property cannot come to
any harm in your absence.
Devices with a higher rating may affect the energy quality of the mains due to
their current consumption.
This may affect a number of types of device in terms of:
- connection restrictions
- criteria with regard to the maximum permissible mains impedance
*)
- criteria with regard to the minimum short-circuit power requirement
*)
*)
at the interface with the public grid
see Technical Data
In this case, the plant operator or the person using the device should check
whether the device may be connected, where appropriate by discussing the
matter with the power supply company.
NOTE! Ensure that the mains connection is earthed properly
Persons involved with welding expose themselves to numerous risks, e.g.:
- flying sparks and hot pieces of metal
- arc radiation, which can damage eyes and skin
- hazardous electromagnetic fields, which can endanger the lives of those
using cardiac pacemakers
- risk of electrocution from mains current and welding current
- greater noise pollution
- harmful welding fumes and gases
Anyone working on the workpiece while welding is in progress must wear suitable protective clothing with the following properties:
- flame-resistant
- insulating and dry
- covers the whole body, is undamaged and in good condition
- safety helmet
- trousers with no turn-ups
Page 12

Noise emission
values
Danger from toxic
gases and vapours
Protective clothing refers to a variety of different items. Operators should:
- protect eyes and face from UV rays, heat and sparks using a protective
visor and regulation filter.
- wear regulation protective goggles with side protection behind the protective visor.
- wear stout footwear that provides insulation even in wet conditions.
- protect the hands with suitable gloves (electrically insulated and providing
protection against heat).
- wear ear protection to reduce the harmful effects of noise and to prevent
injury.
Keep all persons, especially children, out of the working area while any devices are in operation or welding is in progress. If, however, there are people in
the vicinity,
- make them aware of all the dangers (risk of dazzling by the arc, injury
from flying sparks, harmful welding fumes, noise, possible risks from
mains current and welding current, etc.),
- provide suitable protective equipment or
- erect suitable safety screens/curtains.
The device generates a maximum sound power level of <80 dB(A) (ref. 1pW)
when idling and in the cooling phase following operation at the maximum permissible operating point under maximum rated load conditions according to
EN 60974-1.
It is not possible to provide a workplace-related emission value during welding
(or cutting) as this is influenced by both the process and the environment. All
manner of different welding parameters come into play, including the welding
process (MIG/MAG, TIG welding), the type of power selected (DC or AC), the
power range, the type of weld metal, the resonance characteristics of the
workpiece, the workplace environment, etc.
The fumes produced during welding contain harmful gases and vapours.
Welding fumes contain substances that may, under certain circumstances,
cause birth defects or cancer.
Keep your face away from welding fumes and gases.
Fumes and hazardous gases
- must not be breathed in
- must be extracted from the working area using appropriate methods.
Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air with a ventilation rate of at least 20 m³/
hour.
Otherwise, a protective mask with an air supply must be worn.
Close the shielding gas cylinder valve or main gas supply if no welding is taking place.
If there is any doubt about whether the extraction capacity is sufficient, the
measured toxic emission values should be compared with the permissible limit
values.
Amongst others, the following components are responsible for the degree of
toxicity of welding fumes:
- Metals used for the workpiece
- Electrodes
- Coatings
- Cleaners, degreasers, etc.
Page 13

EN
Danger from flying sparks
Risks from mains
current and welding current
The relevant material safety data sheets and manufacturer's specifications for
the listed components should therefore be studied carefully.
Flammable vapours (e.g. solvent fumes) should be kept away from the arc's
radiation area.
Flying sparks may cause fires or explosions.
Never weld close to flammable materials.
Flammable materials must be at least 11 metres (36 ft. 1.07 in.) away from the
arc, or alternatively covered with an approved cover.
A suitable, tested fire extinguisher must be available and ready for use.
Sparks and pieces of hot metal may also get into adjacent areas through small
gaps or openings. Take appropriate precautions to prevent any danger of injury or fire.
Welding must not be performed in areas that are subject to fire or explosion or
near sealed tanks, vessels or pipes unless these have been prepared in accordance with the relevant national and international standards.
Do not carry out welding on containers that are being or have been used to
store gases, propellants, mineral oils or similar products. Residues pose an
explosive hazard.
An electric shock is potentially life threatening and can be fatal.
Do not touch live parts either inside or outside the device.
During MIG/MAG welding and TIG welding, the welding wire, the wirespool,
the feed rollers and all pieces of metal that are in contact with the welding wire
are live.
Always set the wirefeeder up on a sufficiently insulated surface or use a suitable, insulated wirefeeder holder.
Make sure that you and others are protected with an adequately insulated, dry
temporary backing or cover for the earth or ground potential. This temporary
backing or cover must extend over the entire area between the body and the
earth or ground potential.
All cables and leads must be secured, undamaged, insulated and adequately
dimensioned. Replace loose connections and scorched, damaged or inadequately dimensioned cables and leads immediately.
Use the handle to ensure the power connections are tight before every use.
In the case of power cables with a bayonet connector, rotate the power cable
around the longitudinal axis by at least 180° and pre-load.
Do not wrap cables or leads around the body or parts of the body.
The electrode (rod electrode, tungsten electrode, welding wire, etc.) must
- never be immersed in liquid for cooling
- Never touch the electrode when the power source is switched on.
Double the open circuit voltage of a power source can occur between the
welding electrodes of two power sources. Touching the potentials of both electrodes at the same time may be fatal under certain circumstances.
Arrange for the mains cable to be checked regularly by a qualified electrician
to ensure the ground conductor is functioning properly.
The device must only be operated on a mains supply with a ground conductor
and a socket with a ground conductor contact.
Page 14

Meandering welding currents
EMC Device Classifications
Operating the device on a grid without a ground conductor and in a socket
without a ground conductor contact will be deemed gross negligence. The
manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage arising from such usage.
If necessary, provide an adequate earth connection for the workpiece.
Switch off unused devices.
Wear a safety harness if working at height.
Before working on the device, switch it off and pull out the mains plug.
Attach a clearly legible and easy-to-understand warning sign to the device to
prevent anyone from plugging the mains plug back in and switching it on
again.
After opening the device:
- Discharge all live components
- Ensure that all components in the device are de-energised
If work on live parts is required, appoint a second person to switch off the main
switch at the right moment.
If the following instructions are ignored, meandering welding currents can develop with the following consequences:
- Fire hazard
- Overheating of parts connected to the workpiece
- Irreparable damage to ground conductors
- Damage to device and other electrical equipment
Ensure that the workpiece is held securely by the workpiece clamp.
Attach the workpiece clamp as close as possible to the area that is to be welded.
If the floor is electrically conductive, the device must be set up with sufficient
insulating material to insulate it from the floor.
If distribution boards, twin-head mounts, etc., are being used, note the following: The electrode of the welding torch / electrode holder that is not used is
also live. Make sure that the welding torch / electrode holder that is not used
is kept sufficiently insulated.
In the case of automated MIG/MAG applications, ensure that only an insulated
wire electrode is routed from the welding wire drum, large wirefeeder spool or
wirespool to the wire-feed unit.
Devices in emission class A:
- Are only designed for use in industrial settings
- Can cause line-bound and radiated interference in other areas
Devices in emission class B:
- Satisfy the emissions criteria for residential and industrial areas.
This is also true for residential areas in which the energy is supplied from the public low-voltage mains.

EMC measures
EMF measures
Specific hazards
In certain cases, even though a device complies with the standard limit values
for emissions, it may affect the application area for which it was designed (e.g.
when there is sensitive equipment at the same location, or if the site where the
device is installed is close to either radio or television receivers).
If this is the case, then the operator is obliged to take appropriate action to rectify the situation.
Check and evaluate the immunity to interference of nearby devices according
to national and international regulations. Examples of equipment that may be
susceptible to interference from the device include:
- Safety devices
- Power, signal and data transfer lines
- IT and telecommunications devices
- Measuring and calibrating devices
Supporting measures for avoidance of EMC problems:
1. Mains supply
- If electromagnetic interference arises despite correct mains connection, additional measures are necessary (e.g. use a suitable line filter).
2. Welding power leads
- must be kept as short as possible
- must run close together (to avoid EMF problems)
- must be kept well apart from other leads
3. Equipotential bonding
4. Earthing of the workpiece
- If necessary, establish an earth connection using suitable capacitors.
5. Shielding, if necessary
- Shield off other nearby devices
- Shield off entire welding installation
Electromagnetic fields may pose as yet unknown risks to health:
- effects on the health of others in the vicinity, e.g. wearers of pacemakers
and hearing aids
- wearers of pacemakers must seek advice from their doctor before approaching the device or any welding that is in progress
- for safety reasons, keep distances between the welding cables and the
welder's head/torso as large as possible
- do not carry welding cables and hosepacks over the shoulders or wind
them around any part of the body
Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from moving parts. For example:
- Fans
- Cogs
- Rollers
- Shafts
- Wirespools and welding wires
Do not reach into the rotating cogs of the wire drive or into rotating drive components.
Covers and side panels may only be opened/removed while maintenance or
repair work is being carried out.
Page 16
16
During operation
- Ensure that all covers are closed and all side panels are fitted properly.
- Keep all covers and side panels closed.
The welding wire emerging from the welding torch poses a high risk of injury
(piercing of the hand, injuries to the face and eyes, etc.).
Therefore always keep the welding torch away from the body (devices with
wire-feed unit) and wear suitable protective goggles.
Never touch the workpiece during or after welding - risk of burns.
Slag can jump off cooling workpieces. The specified protective equipment
must therefore also be worn when reworking workpieces, and steps must be
taken to ensure that other people are also adequately protected.
Welding torches and other parts with a high operating temperature must be allowed to cool down before handling.
Special provisions apply in areas at risk of fire or explosion - observe relevant
national and international regulations.
Power sources for work in areas with increased electric risk (e.g. near boilers)
must carry the "Safety" sign. However, the power source must not be located
in such areas.
Risk of scalding from escaping coolant. Switch off cooling unit before disconnecting coolant flow or return lines.
Observe the information on the coolant safety data sheet when handling coolant. The coolant safety data sheet may be obtained from your service centre
or downloaded from the manufacturer's website.
Use only suitable load-carrying equipment supplied by the manufacturer when
transporting devices by crane.
- Hook chains and/or ropes onto all suspension points provided on the
load-carrying equipment.
- Chains and ropes must be at the smallest angle possible to the vertical.
- Remove gas cylinder and wire-feed unit (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
If the wire-feed unit is attached to a crane holder during welding, always use
a suitable, insulated wirefeeder hoisting attachment (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
If the device has a carrying strap or handle, this is intended solely for carrying
by hand. The carrying strap is not to be used if transporting with a crane, counterbalanced lift truck or other mechanical hoist.
All lifting accessories (straps, handles, chains, etc.) used in connection with
the device or its components must be tested regularly (e.g. for mechanical
damage, corrosion or changes caused by other environmental factors).

Danger from
shielding gas cylinders
Safety measures
at the installation
location and during transport
The following requirements with regard to shielding gas quality must be met if
the welding system is to operate in a correct and safe manner:
- Size of solid matter particles < 40 μm
- Pressure dew point < -20 °C
- Max. oil content < 25 mg/m³
Filters must be used if necessary.
NOTE! There is an increased risk of soiling if ring mains are being
used
Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under pressure and can explode if damaged. As the shielding gas cylinders are part of the welding equipment, they
must be handled with the greatest of care.
Protect shielding gas cylinders containing compressed gas from excessive
heat, mechanical impact, slag, naked flames, sparks and arcs.
Mount the shielding gas cylinders vertically and secure according to instructions to prevent them falling over.
Keep the shielding gas cylinders well away from any welding or other electrical
circuits.
Never hang a welding torch on a shielding gas cylinder.
Never touch a shielding gas cylinder with an electrode.
Risk of explosion - never attempt to weld a pressurised shielding gas cylinder.
Only use shielding gas cylinders suitable for the application in hand, along with
the correct and appropriate accessories (regulator, hoses and fittings). Only
use shielding gas cylinders and accessories that are in good condition.
Turn your face to one side when opening the valve of a shielding gas cylinder.
Close the shielding gas cylinder valve if no welding is taking place.

General
Device concept
TransTig 2200 Job, MagicWave 1700 Job and
MagicWave 2200 Job with cooling unit
The MagicWave (MW) 1700 / 2200 / 2500 /
3000 / 4000 / 5000 and TransTig (TT) 800 /
2200 / 2500 / 3000 / 4000 / 5000 TIG power
sources are completely digitised, microprocessor controlled inverter power sources.
The modular design and potential for system add-ons ensure a high degree of flexibility. The devices can be adapted to any
situation.
The straightforward operating concept
means that essential functions can be seen
at a glance and adjusted as required.
A standardised LocalNet interface makes it
easy to connect digital system add-ons (e.g.
JobMaster TIG welding torches, robot welding torches, remote control units, etc.).
Automatic cap shaping for AC welding with
MagicWave power sources takes the diameter of the tungsten electrode into account
to help produce optimum results.
The power sources are generator-compatible. They are exceptionally sturdy in day-today operation thanks to the protected control elements and their powder-coated
housings.
To optimise the ignition sequence in TIG AC
welding, the MagicWave takes account not
only of the diameter of the electrode, but
also of its temperature, calculated with reference to the preceding welding and welding off-times.

Functional principle
The central control and regulation unit of the power sources is coupled with a digital signal
processor. The central control and regulation unit and signal processor control the entire
welding process.
During the welding process, the actual data is measured continuously and the device responds immediately to any changes. Control algorithms ensure that the desired target
state is maintained.
This results in:
- a precise welding process,
- exact reproducibility of all results
- excellent weld properties.
Field of application
The devices are used in workshops and industry for manual and automated TIG applications with unalloyed and low-alloy steel and high-alloy chrome-nickel steels.
The MagicWave power sources perform exceptionally well when it comes to welding aluminium, aluminium alloys and magnesium due to the variable AC frequency.

(2) After ignition
On MagicWave power sources, an automatic cap-shaping function is available for
the TIG AC welding process:
- When the TIG AC welding process is
selected, activate automatic capshaping
- The ideal cap for the specified diameter of the tungsten electrode is
formed during welding start-up.
A separate cap-shaping operation on
a test workpiece is not necessary.
- The automatic cap-shaping function
is then reset and deactivated.
The automatic cap-shaping function
has to be activated separately for
each tungsten electrode.
NOTE! The automatic cap-shaping function is not necessary if a sufficiently large
cap has already formed at the tip of the tungsten electrode.

Igniting the arc
General To ensure the best ignition sequence in the TIG AC welding process, the MagicWave pow-
er sources take account of:
- the diameter of the tungsten electrode
- the current temperature of the tungsten electrode with reference to the preceding
welding and weld-off times
Igniting the arc
using high frequency
(HF ignition)
HF ignition is activated when a time value has been set for the HFt setup parameter.
The HF ignition indicator lights up on the control panel.
Compared with touchdown ignition, HF ignition eliminates the risk of contamination of the
tungsten electrode and the workpiece.
Procedure for HF ignition:
Place the gas nozzle down on the ignition location so that there is a gap of
approx. 2 to 3 mm (5/64 to 1/8 in.) between the tungsten electrode and the
workpiece
Increase the tilt angle of the torch and
actuate the torch trigger according to
the mode you have selected
The arc ignites without the electrode
touching down on the workpiece.

Touchdown ignition
If the HFt setup parameter is set to OFF, HF ignition is deactivated. The welding arc is ignited by touching the workpiece with the tungsten electrode.
Procedure for igniting the arc using touchdown ignition:
Place the gas nozzle down on the ignition location so that there is a gap of
approx. 2 to 3 mm (5/64 to 1/8 in.) between the tungsten electrode and the

Special functions and options
Arc break watchdog function
If the arc breaks and the current does not start to flow again within the time specified in the
set-up menu, the power source cuts out automatically. The service code "no | Arc" appears
on the control panel.
To start the welding process again, press any key on the control panel or the torch trigger.
Ignition time-out
function
The power source has an ignition time-out function.
Once the torch trigger is pressed, gas pre-flow begins immediately. Ignition then begins. If
an arc does not appear within the time specified in the set-up menu, the power source cuts
out automatically. The service code "no | IGn" appears on the control panel.
To try again, press any key on the control panel or press the torch trigger.
Tacking function The tacking function is available for the TIG DC welding process.
When a time period is specified for the tAC (tacking) set-up parameter, the tacking function
is assigned to 2-step mode and 4-step mode. The operating sequence of the modes remains unchanged.
During this period, a pulsed welding current is present that makes the weld pool run together better when two parts are being tacked.

Hotstart function To obtain optimum welding results, it will sometimes be necessary to adjust the hotstart
function.
Benefits
- Improved ignition, even when using electrodes with poor ignition properties
- Better fusion of the base material in the start-up phase, meaning fewer cold-shut defects
- Largely prevents slag inclusions
See the "Set-up menu: level 2" section for details on setting the available welding parameters.
Example of hotstart function
Function:
during the specified hot-current time (Hti),
the welding current I1 is increased to the
HotStart current HCU.
To activate the hotstart function, the HotStart current HCU must be > 100.
NOTE! The TransTig power source has no switchover facility between the
MMA DC- and MMA DC+ welding processes.
CAUTION! Risk of injury and damage from electric shock. As soon as the
mains switch is in the "I" position, the rod electrode in the electrode holder is
live. Make sure that the rod electrode does not touch any persons or electrically conducting or earthed parts (e.g. the housing etc.).
NOTE! All welding parameter set values that have been set using the adjusting dial remain stored until the next time they are changed. This applies even
if the power source is switched off and on again in the meantime.

Anti-stick function
As the arc becomes shorter, the welding voltage may drop so far that the rod electrode will
tend to stick. This may also cause the rod electrode to burn out.
Electrode burn-out is prevented by activating the anti-stick function. If the rod electrode begins to stick, the power source immediately switches the welding current off. After the rod
electrode has been detached from the workpiece, the welding process can be continued
without any problems.
The anti-stick function can be activated and deactivated in the "Set-up menu - level 2" section.

Factory setting Aut
The value set for G-H only applies if the maximum welding current actually has been set.
The actual value is derived from the present welding current. For a medium welding current, for example, the actual value will be half of the value set for G-H.
IMPORTANT! The values set for the G-L and G-H set-up parameters are added together.
For example, if both welding parameters are set to the maximum (40 s), the gas post-flow
will last:
- 40 s at minimum welding current
- 80 s at maximum welding current
- 60 s if the welding current is exactly half the maximum, etc.
If Aut is set, the gas post-flow time G-H is calculated automatically.

To obtain optimum welding results, it will sometimes be necessary to adjust the arc-force
dynamic.
Functional principle:
at the instant of droplet transfer or when a short circuit occurs, there is a momentary rise
in amperage. In order to obtain a stable arc, the welding current is temporarily increased.
If the rod electrode threatens to sink into the weld pool, this measure prevents the weld
pool solidifying, as well as preventing more prolonged short circuiting of the arc. This
largely prevents the rod electrode from sticking.

“con” parameter (constant welding current)
- If the “con” parameter is set, the welding current will be kept constant, irrespective of
the welding voltage. This results in a vertical characteristic (4).
- The “con” parameter is especially suitable for rutile electrodes and basic electrodes,
as well as for arc air gouging.
- For arc air gouging, set the arc-force dynamic to "100".
Parameter "0.1 - 20" (drooping characteristic with adjustable slope)
- Parameter “0.1 - 20” is used to set a drooping characteristic (5). The setting range extends from 0.1 A / V (very steep) to 20 A / V (very flat).
- Setting a flat characteristic (5) is only advisable for cellulose electrodes.
"P" parameter (constant welding power)
- If the “P” parameter is set, the welding power is kept constant, irrespective of the welding voltage and welding current. This results in a hyperbolic characteristic (6).
- The “P” parameter is particularly suitable for cellulose electrodes.

The characteristics (4), (5) and (6) shown here apply when using a rod electrode whose
characteristic corresponds - at a given arc length - to the load line (1).
Depending on what welding current (I) has been set, the point of intersection (operating
point) of characteristics (4), (5) and (6) will be displaced along the load line (1). The operating point provides information on the actual welding voltage and the actual welding current.
Where the welding current (I1) is permanently set, the operating point may migrate along
the characteristics (4), (5) and (6) depending on the welding voltage at that moment in time.
The welding voltage U is dependent upon the length of the arc.
If the arc length changes (e.g. in accordance with the load line (2)) the resulting operating
point will be the point where the corresponding characteristic (4), (5) or (6) intersects with
the load line (2).
Applies to characteristics (5) and (6): Depending upon the welding voltage (arc length), the
welding current (I) will also become either smaller or larger, even though the value set for
I1 remains the same.
