Mains connection

Protection for yourself and other persons

High-performance devices can affect the quality of the mains power due to their current-input. This may affect a number of types of device in terms of:

- connection restrictions

- criteria with regard to maximum permissible mains impedance

- criteria with regard to minimum short-circuit power requirement

at the interface with the public mains network

see Technical Data

In this case, the plant operator or the person using the device should check whether or not the device is allowed to be connected, where appropriate through discussion with the power supply company.

NOTE! Ensure that the mains connection is earthed properly.

When welding, you are exposed to many different hazards such as:

- flying sparks and hot metal particles

- arc radiation which could damage your eyes and skin

- harmful electromagnetic fields which may put the lives of cardiac pacemaker users at risk

- electrical hazards from mains and welding current

- increased exposure to noise

- noxious welding fumes and gases.

Anybody working on the workpiece during welding must wear suitable protective clothing with the following characteristics:

- flame-retardant

- isolating and dry

- must cover whole body, be undamaged and in good condition

- protective helmet

- trousers with no turn-ups

Protection for yourself and other persons

(continued)

“Protective clothing” also includes:

- protecting your eyes and face from UV rays, heat and flying sparks with an appropriate safety shield containing appropriate regulation filter glass

- wearing a pair of appropriate regulation goggles (with sideguards) behind the safety shield

- wearing stout footwear that will also insulate even in wet conditions

- protecting your hands by wearing appropriate gloves (electrically insulating, heat-proof)

- To lessen your exposure to noise and to protect your hearing against injury, wear ear-protectors!

Keep other people - especially children - well away from the equipment and the welding operation while this is in progress. If there are still any other persons nearby during welding, you must

- draw their attention to all the dangers (risk of being dazzled by the arc or injured by flying sparks, harmful welding fumes, high noise immission levels, possible hazards from mains or welding current ...)

- provide them with suitable protective equipment and/or

- erect suitable protective partitions or curtains.

Information on noise emission values

Hazards from noxious gases and vapours

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 given off during welding contain gases and vapors that are harmful to health.

Welding fumes contain substances which may cause birth defects and cancers.

Keep your head away from discharges of welding fumes and gases.

Do not inhale any fumes or noxious gases that are given off. Extract all fumes and gases away from the workplace, using suitable means.

ud_fr_st_sv_00467 022013

Ensure a sufficient supply of fresh air.

Where insufficient ventilation is available, use a respirator mask with an independent air supply.

If you are not sure whether your fume-extraction system is sufficiently powerful, compare the measured pollutant emission values with the permitted threshold limit values.

Close the shielding gas cylinder valve or central gas supply if no welding is taking place.

Page 9

Hazards from noxious gases and vapours

(continued)

The harmfulness of the welding fumes will depend on e.g. the following components:

- the metals used in and for the workpiece

- the electrodes

- coatings

- cleaning and degreasing agents and the like

Hazards from flying sparks

For this reason, pay attention to the relevant Materials Safety Data Sheets and the information given by the manufacturer regarding the components listed above.

Keep all flammable vapors (e.g. from solvents) well away from the arc radiation.

Flying sparks can cause fires and explosions!

Never perform welding anywhere near combustible materials.

Combustible materials must be at least 11 meters (36 ft. 1.07 in.) away from the arc, or else must be covered over with approved coverings.

Have a suitable, approved fire extinguisher at the ready.

Sparks and hot metal particles may also get into surrounding areas through small cracks and openings. Take suitable measures here to ensure that there is no risk of injury or fire.

Do not perform welding in locations that are at risk from fire and/or explosion, or in enclosed tanks, barrels or pipes, unless these latter have been prepared for welding in accordance with the relevant national and international standards.

Hazards from mains and welding current

Welding must NEVER be performed on containers that have had gases, fuels, mineral oils etc. stored in them. Even small traces of these substances left in the containers are a major explosion hazard.

An electric shock is potentially life-threatening, and can be fatal.

Do not touch any live parts, either inside or outside the machine.

In MIG/MAG and TIG welding, the welding wire, the wire spool, the drive rollers and all metal parts having contact with the welding wire are also live.

Always place the wirefeeder on an adequately insulated floor or base, or else use a suitable insulating wirefeeder holder.

Ensure sufficient protection for yourself and for other people by means of a dry base or cover that provides adequate insulation against the ground/ frame potential. The base or cover must completely cover the entire area between your body and the ground/frame potential.

All cables and other leads must be firmly attached, undamaged, properly insulated and adequately dimensioned. Immediately replace any loose connections, scorched, damaged or underdimensioned cables or other leads.

ud_fr_st_sv_00467 022013

Page 10

Hazards from mains and welding current

(continued)

Do not loop any cables or other leads around your body or any part of your body.

Never immerse the welding electrode (rod electrode, tungsten electrode, welding wire, ...) in liquid in order to cool it, and never touch it when the power source is ON.

Twice the open-circuit voltage of one single welding machine may occur between the welding electrodes of two welding machines. Touching the potentials of both electrodes simultaneously may be fatal.

Have the mains and the machine supply leads checked regularly by a qualified electrician to ensure that the PE (protective earth) conductor is functioning correctly.

Only run the machine on a mains network with a PE conductor, and plugged into a power outlet socket with a protective-conductor contact.

If the machine is run on a mains network without a PE conductor and plugged into a power outlet socket without a protective-conductor contact, this counts as gross negligence and the manufacturer shall not be liable for any resulting damage.

Wherever necessary, use suitable measures to ensure that the workpiece is sufficiently grounded (earthed).

Stray welding currents

Switch off any appliances that are not in use.

Wear a safety harness if working at height.

Before doing any work on the machine, switch it off and unplug it from the mains.

Put up a clearly legible and easy-to-understand warning sign to stop anybody inadvertently plugging the machine back into the mains and switching it back on again.

After opening up the machine:

- discharge any components that may be storing an electrical charge

- ensure that all machine components are electrically dead.

If work needs to be performed on any live parts, there must be a second person on hand to immediately switch off the machine at the main switch in an emergency.

If the following instructions are ignored, stray welding currents may occur. These can cause:

- fires

- overheating of components that are connected to the workpiece

- destruction of PE conductors

- damage to the machine and other electrical equipment

ud_fr_st_sv_00467 022013

Ensure that the workpiece clamp is tightly connected to the workpiece.

Attach the workpiece clamp as close as possible to the area to be welded.

On electrically conductive floors, the machine must be set up in such a way that it is sufficiently insulated from the floor.

Page 11

Stray welding currents

(continued)

When using current supply distributors, twin head wire feeder fixtures etc., please note the following: The electrode on the unused welding torch/ welding tongs is also current carrying. Please ensure that there is sufficient insulating storage for the unused welding torch/tongs.

In the case of automated MIG/MAG applications, ensure that only insulated filler wire is routed from the welding wire drum, large wirefeeder spool or wirespool to the wirefeeder.

EMC device classifications

Devices with emission class A:

- are only designed for use in an industrial setting

- can cause conducted and emitted interference in other areas.

Devices with emission class B:

- satisfy the emissions criteria for residential and industrial areas. This

also applies to residential areas in which power is supplied from the public low-voltage grid.

EMC device classification as per the rating plate or technical specifications

EMC measures 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.

Examine and evaluate any possible electromagnetic problems that may occur on equipment in the vicinity, and the degree of immunity of this equipment, in accordance with national and international regulations:

- safety features

- mains, signal and data-transmission leads

- IT and telecoms equipment

- measurement and calibration devices

Ancillary measures for preventing EMC problems:

a) Mains supply

- If electromagnetic interference still occurs, despite the fact that the mains connection is in accordance with the regulations, take additional measures (e.g. use a suitable mains filter).

b) Welding cables

- Keep these as short as possible

- Arrange them so that they run close together (to prevent EMI problems as well)

- Lay them well away from other leads.

c) Equipotential bonding

d) Workpiece grounding (earthing)

- where necessary, run the connection to ground (earth) via suitable capacitors.

e) Shielding, where necessary

- Shield other equipment in the vicinity

- Shield the entire welding installation.

EMI Precautions

Electromagnetic fields may cause as yet unknown damage to health.

- Effects on the health of persons in the vicinity, e.g. users of heart pacemakers and hearing aids

- Users of heart pacemakers must take medical advice before going anywhere near welding equipment or welding workplaces

- Keep as much space as possible between welding cables and head/ body of welder for safety reasons

- Do not carrywelding cables and hose pack over shoulder and do not loop around body or or any part of body

Particular danger spots

Keep your hands, hair, clothing and tools well away from all moving parts, e.g.:

- fans

- toothed wheels, rollers, shafts

- wire-spools and welding wires

Do not put your fingers anywhere near the rotating toothed wheels of the wirefeed drive.

Covers and sideguards may only be opened or removed for as long as is absolutely necessary to carry out maintenance and repair work.

While the machine is in use:

- ensure that all the covers are closed and that all the sideguards are properly mounted ...

- ... and that all covers and sideguards are kept closed.

When the welding wire emerges from the torch, there is a high risk of injury (the wire may pierce the welder’s hand, injure his face and eyes ...).

For this reason, when feeder-inching etc., always hold the torch so that it is pointing away from your body (machines with wirefeeder) and wear suitable protective goggles.

Do not touch the workpiece during and after welding - risk of injury from burning!

Slag may suddenly “jump” off workpieces as they cool. For this reason, continue to wear the regulation protective gear, and to ensure that other persons are suitably protected, when doing post-weld finishing on workpieces.

Allow welding torches - and other items of equipment that are used at high operating temperatures - to cool down before doing any work on them.

Special regulations apply to rooms at risk from fire and/or explosion. Observe all relevant national and international regulations.

Power sources for use in spaces with increased electrical danger (e.g. boilers) must be identified by the (for “safety”) mark. However, the power source should not be in such rooms.

ud_fr_st_sv_00467 022013

Page 13

Particular danger spots

(continued)

Risk of scalding from accidental discharge of hot coolant. Before unplugging the connectors for coolant forward flow and return flow, switch off the cooling unit.

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.

When hoisting the machines by crane, only use suitable manufacturersupplied lifting devices.

- Attach the chains and/or ropes to all the hoisting points provided on the suitable lifting device.

- The chains and/or ropes must be at an angle which is as close to the vertical as possible.

- Remove the gas cylinder and the wirefeed unit (from MIG/MAG and TIG units).

When hoisting the wirefeed unit by crane during welding, always use a suitable, insulating suspension arrangement (MIG/MAG and TIG units).

If a machine is fitted with a carrying strap or carrying handle, remember that this strap is ONLY to be used for lifting and carrying the machine by hand. The carrying strap is NOT suitable for transporting the machine by crane, fork-lift truck or by any other mechanical hoisting device.

Factors affecting welding results

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). The testing interval and scope of testing must comply with applicable national standards and directives as a minimum.

Danger of colourless and odourless inert gas escaping unnoticed, when using an adapter for the inert gas protection. Seal the adapter thread for the inert gas connection using Teflon tape before assembly.

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 <40µm

- Pressure dew point <-20°C

- Max. oil content <25mg/m³

Filters must be used if necessary.

NOTE! There is an increased risk of soiling if ring mains are being used

ud_fr_st_sv_00467 022013

Page 14

Danger from shielding-gas cylinders

Shielding-gas cylinders contain pressurized gas and may explode if they are damaged. As shielding-gas cylinders are an integral part of the overall welding outfit, they also have to be treated with great care.

Protect shielding-gas cylinders containing compressed gas from excessive heat, mechanical impact, slag, naked flames, sparks and arcs.

Mount the shielding-gas cylinders in the vertical and fasten them in such a way that they cannot fall over (i.e. as shown in the instruction manual).

Keep shielding-gas cylinders well away from welding circuits (and, indeed, from any other electrical circuits).

Never hang a welding torch on a shielding-gas cylinder.

Never touch a shielding-gas cylinder with a welding electrode.

Explosion hazard - never perform welding on a pressurized shielding-gas cylinder.

Use only shielding-gas cylinders that are suitable for the application in question, together with matching, suitable accessories (pressure regulators, hoses and fittings, ...). Only use shielding-gas cylinders and accessories that are in good condition.

Safety precautions at the installation site and when being transported

When opening the valve of a shielding-gas cylinder, always turn your face away from the outlet nozzle.

Close the shielding-gas cylinder valve when no welding is being carried out.

When the shielding-gas cylinder is not connected up, leave the cap in place on the shielding-gas cylinder valve.

Observe the manufacturer’s instructions and all relevant national and international rules applying to shielding-gas cylinders and accessories.

A machine that topples over can easily kill someone! For this reason, always place the machine on an even, firm floor in such a way that it stands firmly.

- An angle of inclination of up to 10° is permissible.

Special regulations apply to rooms at risk from fire and/or explosion. Observe all relevant national and international regulations.

By means of internal instructions and checks, ensure that the workplace and the area around it are always kept clean and tidy.

ud_fr_st_sv_00467 022013

The appliance must only be installed and operated in accordance with the protection type stated on the specifications plate.

Page 15

Safety precautions at the installation site and when being transported

(continued)

Before transportation, completely drain any coolant and dismantle the following components:

- Wire feed

- Wire wound coil

- Gas bottle

Before commissioning and after transportation, a visual check for damage must be carried out. Any damage must be repaired by trained service personnel before commissioning.

Safety precautions in normal operation

Only operate the machine if all of its protective features are fully functional. If any of the protective features are not fully functional, this endangers:

- the life and well-being of the operator or other persons

- the equipment and other tangible assets belonging to the owner/operator

- efficient working with the equipment.

Any safety devices that are not fully functional must be put right before you switch on the machine.

Never evade safety features and never put safety features out of order.

Before switching on the machine, ensure that nobody can be endangered by your doing so.

- At least once a week, check the machine for any damage that may be visible from the outside, and check that the safety features all function correctly.

- Always fasten the shielding-gas cylinder firmly, and remove it altogether before hoisting the machine by crane.

- Owing to its special properties (in terms of electrical conductivity, frostproofing, materials-compatibility, combustibility etc.), only original coolant of the manufacturer is suitable for use in our machines.

- Only use suitable original coolant of the manufacturer.

- Do not mix original coolant of the manufacturer with other coolants.

- If any damage occurs in cases where other coolants have been used, the manufacturer shall not be liable for any such damage, and all warranty claims shall be null and void.

- Under certain conditions, the coolant is flammable. Only transport the coolant in closed original containers, and keep it away from sources of ignition.

- Used coolant must be disposed of properly in accordance with the relevant national and international regulations. A safety data sheet is available from your service centre and on the manufacturer’s homepage.

- Before starting welding - while the machine is still cool - check the coolant level.

General Details

Basic system principle

Designed as a primary transistor-switched welding machine, the welding rectifier TRANSTIG 1600 / 1700 (DC) represents a further deve-lopment of the transistor controlled welding machine. It is especially suitable for TIG-manual-, and MANUAL ELECTRODE WELDING in the DC area. The machine’s compact dimensions, low weight and modest power requirements are important advantages, both in the production and repair fields.UP/DOWN control (continuous welding-current regulation via torch trigger) is also integrated as standard.

Construction Features such as its powder-coated sheet-steel housing, the way its controls are pro-

tected by a plastic frame, and its bayonet-latching current sockets all testify to the high quality of its design. The shoulder strap makes the unit easy to move around, both within the factory and e.g. out on building sites.

Functional sequence

The voltage from the mains power supply is rectified. A rapid transistor switching device inverts this voltage using a frequency of 100 kHz. The welding transformer produces the required working voltage, which is rectified and fed to the output sockets. An electronic controller adjusts the power-source characteristic

to suit the pre-selected welding process.

Operational readiness operator is lit up

Welding current control set to required value

Setting-up instructions

Degree of protection: IP23

The machine is tested to IP23, meaning that it is protected against:

- penetration by solid bodies greater than diam. 12 mm

- spray up to an angle of 60° to the vertical

Open-air operation

As indicated by its protection category IP23, the machine may be set up and operated in the open air. However, the built-in electrical parts must be protected from direct wetting (see protection category IP23)

Colling air and dust

Position the machine so that the cooling air can be drawn in freely through the louvers, and then be expelled unhindered. The cool-ing air passes through ventilating slits in the casing into the interior of the machine, where it cools inactive components in the ventilation channel before flowing out through the ventilation outlet. The ventilation channel has an important protective function. The following cooling cycle is automatically controlled by an electronic thermostatic cut-out system. (Fig. 1). Make sure that any metal dust caused by e. g. grinding work is not sucked into the machine by the cooling fan.

Stability

The power source can be stood on a surface with an inclination of up to 15°! At inclinations above 15° there is a risk of the power source toppling over.

Ignition monitoring

If, after fruitless attempts to ignite an arc or after an arc-interrupt, the welder forgets to stop the control sequence (2-step or 4-step) by means of the torch trigger, the shielding gas will continue to flow, leading to considerable wastage of gas. To prevent this, a monitoring function automatically interrupts the control sequence after approx. 5 se- conds in such a case. When another attempt is made to ignite an arc, this must once again be initiated via the torch trigger.

Fig. 22 TR 50 mc remote control pulsing unit

Since a pre-set amperage is not always ideal for the entire duration of a welding task, pulsating welding current is often used. For example, when welding pipes in cramped conditions, a change in amperage is often necessary. Should temperatures rise too high, there is a danger that liquid metal will begin to drop from the welding pool. Too low, and the workpiece material will not melt sufficiently. A relatively low welding current (background current I2) rises via a steep up-slope to a considerably higher value (pulse current I1) and drops again after a pre-set period (Duty-Cycle) to the basic setting (background current I2), a process which repeats itself over and over again. During the welding process, small sections of the weld zone melt and solidify quickly. Welding a seam using this method is thus considerably easier to control. This technique is also used when welding thin sheet metal. Each fusion point overlaps the next, thus forming a neat and regular seam. When the TIG pulsing technique is used when welding by hand, the welding rod is applied at each current peak. (Only possible in the lowest frequency range, i.e. 0,2 - 2 Hz). Higher pulse frequencies are generally used in automatic welding applications and serve mainly to stabilize the welding arc.

(contiued)

With the TR 50mc remote control pulsing unit two operational modes are possible:

- Regulation of impulse current I1 by TR 50mc remote control unit.

- Adjustment of impulse current I1 by means of the TR 52mc remote control pedal unit.

(23) Pulsing current dial I1 (main current)

- For continuous adjustment of the pulsing / main current

(24) Pulse frequency dial f (Hz)

- For continuous adjustment of the pulse frequency, depen-ding on which frequency range has been preselected by switch (27).

(25) Background current dial I

- The setting for the background current is made as a percentage of the value set for the pulsing current I

(26) Duty-Cycle dial %

- Setting dial for pulse / interval relationship = this dial is for setting the relationship, in percentage terms, between the pulsing current phase and the background current phase.

Setting-examples

Duty cycle dial (26) is in scale position 10,

- Short pulsing current phase of 10 %

- Long background current phase of 90 %

- Low degree of heat impact.

Duty Cycle dial (26) is in scale position 50, (see Fig.23)

- Pulsing current phase and background current phase are equally long (each 50 %)

l Means medium degree of heat impact.

Duty cycle dial (26) is in scale position 90,

- Long pulsing current phase of 90 %

- Short background current phase of 10 %

- High degree of heat impact.

In the 4-step operating mode, the pulse phase begins as soon as the operator releases the torch trigger in the up-slope. As can be seen in Fig. 12, pulsing also takes place in the down-slope.

Important! If you wish to be able to switch from main current to crater-fill current while in pulsed-arc mode (without interrupting welding), use:

- 4-step mode and a FRONIUS TIG torch with double control-switch function, or:

- special 4-step mode and a non-Fronius TIG torch

Please see chapter "Description of controls" for more details of the 4-step and special 4step operating modes.

Operating mode: Regulation of pulse current I1 using TR 52mc remote-control pedal unit

It is particularly advantageous with manual TIG welding in cases where it is necessary to alter the welding pulse current during the welding operation. (Where the welder is dealing with materials of different strengths, for example).

- Link the connecting socket [G] on the power source and the socket (28) on the remote-control pulsing unit electrically with the remote control cable.

- A remote control cable of the same type may be used for linking the remote-control pulsing unit (socket 29) electri-cally to the remote control pedal unit (socket 30).

- Plug in the plug-in connections the right way round, and screw the coupling ring on as far as possible.

- When the TR 52mc remote-control pedal unit is connected, the machine automatically switches over to 2-step operation.

- LED indicator (13) blinks up on the power source

- Set desired operating mode with function button (4)

- The appropriate LED indicator (5), (6) or (8) lights up -operating mode electrode (LED indicator 5) is possible

- The mean welding-current amperage is indicated on display A. - No "Hold" function

- To initiate the ignition process, gently step on the pedal.

- The level of the start arc current, the pulse current I1 and the final crater current can also be controlled from the pedal.

- The base current I2 that is set using the dial (25) on the TR 50mc is a constant percentage of the value of the pulse current I1.

- When the welder takes his foot right off the pedal, the welding current is switched off, thus interrupting the welding operation.

- Gas post-flow time elapses.

Due to the fact that workpieces are often awkwardly shaped, it is often necessary to alter the amperage in the course of the welding operation. (e.g. repairing the edges of tools, improvements to cutting dies). The TR52mc pedal remote-control unit is designrd to be used for jobs such as these.

Connecting the remote control unit

- Link the connecting socket [G] on the power source and the socket (30) on the remote-control unit electrically with the remote control cable.

- Plug in the plug-in connections the right way round, and screw the coupling ring on as far as possible.

Fig. 26 TR 52mc remote control pedal unit.

Functional description

- When the TR 52mc remote-control pedal unit is connected, the machine automatically switches over to 2-step operation.

- Set desired operating mode with function button (4)

- The appropriate LED indicator (5), (6) or (8) lights up operating mode electrode (LED indicator 5) is possible

- The mean welding-current amperage is indicated on display A. - No "Hold" function

- Gas pre-flow time and gas post-flow time are set directly at the power source.

- To initiate the ignition process, gently step on the pedal.

- The level of the start arc current, the main current IH and the final crater current can also be controlled from the pedal.

- When the welder takes his foot right off the pedal, the welding current is switched off, thus interrupting the welding operation. Gas post-flow time elapses.

Limitation of main current

If the maximum welding current value is set internally on the main current IH dial (15) then the remote control pedal may be depressed to its full extent without the main welding current exceeding the pre-set value. This has the advantage that the selected current range is covered by one complete depression of the foot pedal.

TR 51mc remote control spotwelding unit

Standard welding of thin sheet metal constructions in such a way that they do not rust is often not possible due to severe warping of the material. This is where spot welding comes into its own. Similarly, problem welds, such as joins which are only accessible from a single side, can easily be dealt with using the TIG spot-welding process.

Connecting the remote control unit

- Link the connecting socket [G] on the power source and the socket (31) on the remote-control unit electrically with the remote control cable.

- Plug in the plug-in connections the right way round, and screw the coupling ring on as far as possible.

Fig. 28 TR 51mc remote control spot-welding unit

Functional description

- The machine automatically switches over to 2-step operation

- LED indicator (8) lights up

- The current drop time is set directly on the power source

- A special - insulated - spot-welding nozzle is used, which is mounted on the cone.

- Depending on the size of spot-weld required, mount the tungsten electrode approx. 2 - 3 mm back from the edge of the nozzle

- Set spot-welding current and time on the remote-control unit.

- Place the torch on the workpiece and gently press down onto the base material

- To carry out the spot-weld actuate the torch trigger. (Make sure there is no air-gap!)

The automatic spot-welding sequence is as follows

- Pull back and release the torch trigger.

- Gas pre-flow time elapses.

- Arc ignites with start-arc current.

- Current rises via the set up-slope to the spot-welding current value set on the dial (32).

- The spot-welding time (0,1 - 8 secs.) set on the dial (33) elapses.

- The current drops via the down-slope (dial 11) to the final crater current.

- The gas post-flow time elapses.

Important! In the event of any trouble, the welder can manually interrupt the automatic spot-welding sequence by pulling back and releasing the trigger again!

TPmc remote control unit

This workplace remote control unit is intended for use in particular with manual electrode and TIG welding.

Fig. 30 TPmc remote control unit

(34) Welding current dial

- for continuous adjustment of the welding current

(35) Arc force control dial

- influences the short circuit amperage at the moment of drop transfer (from electrode to workpiece)

At scale setting "0" there is no increase at all in the short circuit amperage at the moment of drop transfer (soft arc). Range of application: welding using rutile electrodes (fine globules), basic sheathed electrodes in the medium and upper amperage ranges

NOTE! When welded at low load, basic-sheathed electrodes tend to "GET STUCK" on the workpiece.

At scale setting "10" there is a very considerable in-crease in amperage at the moment of drop transfer (hard arc). Range of application: Basic sheathed electrodes (coarse-globule), when these are to be welded in the lower amperage range (vertical-up seams, edge hardfacing welds, root welding etc.)

Important! When the setting on the arc force control dial is adjusted upwards, the following may be observed when rutile, basic-sheathed or special electrodes are being used:

- easy ignition

- reduction in welding misfires

- less electrode burn-on

- good root penetration

- occasionally an increase in spattering

- when welding thin sheet metal the danger of "burning through" increases

Page 47

(continued)

With fine-globule electrodes (titanium) the above will not be observed, as metal transfer occurs without a short circuit being produced.
