Safety instructions

For your safety

Item No.: 099-004877-EWM01 7

2 Safety instructions 2.1 For your safety

Observe accident prevention regulations! Ignoring the following safety procedures can be fatal!

Proper usage This machine has been manufactured according to the latest developments in technology and current regulations and standards. It is to be operated only for the use for which it was designed (see chapter Commissioning/Area of application). Improper usage However, this machine may be a hazard to persons, animals and property if it is • not used as directed • used by unskilled persons who have not been trained • modified or converted improperly

Our operating instructions will provide you with an introduction into the safe use of the machine. Therefore please read them carefully and only start work when you are familiar with them. Any person involved in the operation, maintenance and repair of this machine must read and follow these operating instructions, especially the safety precautions. Where appropriate, this should be confirmed by signature. Furthermore, the • relevant accident prevention regulations, • generally accepted safety regulations, • local regulations, etc. must be observed.

Before undertaking welding tasks, put on prescribed dry protective clothing, e.g. gloves. • Protect eyes and face with protective visor.

Electric shocks can be fatal! • Do not touch any live parts in or on the machine! • The machine may only be connected to correctly earthed sockets. • Only operate with intact connection lead including protective conductor and safety plug. • An improperly repaired plug or damaged mains cable insulation can cause electric shocks. • The machine may only be opened by qualified and authorised specialist staff. • Disconnect from the mains before opening. Switching off is not sufficient. Wait for 2 minutes until the

capacitors have discharged. • Always put down welding torch, stick electrode holder in an insulated condition. • The machine must not be used to defrost pipes!

Even touching low voltages can cause you to get a shock and lead to accidents, so: • Protect yourself from falling before working on platforms or scaffolding. • During welding ensure that you operate earth tongs, torch and workpiece correctly, and not in ways for

which they are not intended. Do not touch live parts with bare skin. • Only replace electrodes when wearing dry gloves. • Never use torches or earth cables with damaged insulation.

Smoke and gases can lead to breathing difficulties and poisoning. • Do not breathe in smoke and gases. • Ensure that there is sufficient fresh air. • Keep solvent vapours away from the arc radiation area. Chlorinated hydrocarbon fumes can be

converted into poisonous phosgene by ultraviolet radiation.

Workpiece, flying sparks and droplets are hot! • Keep children and animals well away from the working area. Their behaviour is unpredictable. • Move containers with inflammable or explosive liquids away from the working area. There is a danger

of fire and explosion. • Never heat explosive liquids, dusts or gases by welding or cutting. There is also a danger of

explosions when apparently harmless substances develop high pressures in enclosed containers by heating.

Take care to avoid fire hazards • Any kind of fire hazards must be avoided. Flames can form e.g. when sparks are flying, when parts

are glowing or hot slag is present. • A constant check must be kept on whether fire hazards have arisen in the working area. • Highly inflammable objects, such as matches and cigarette lighters for example, must not be carried in

trouser pockets. • You must ensure that fire extinguishing equipment - appropriate for the welding process - is available

close to the welding work area and that this equipment can be accessed easily. • Containers in which fuels or lubricants have been present must be thoroughly cleaned before welding

begins. It is not sufficient simply for the receptacle to be empty. • After a workpiece has been welded, it must only be touched or brought into contact with inflammable

material when it has cooled down sufficiently. • Loose welding connections can completely destroy protective conductor systems of interior

installations and cause fires. Before beginning welding work, ensure that the earth tongs are properly fixed to the workpiece or welding bench and that there is a direct electrical connection from the workpiece to the power source.

Noise exceeding 70 dBA can cause permanent hearing damage! • Wear suitable earmuffs or plugs. • Ensure that other people who spend time in the working area are not inconvenienced by the noise.

Interference by electrical and electromagnetic fields is possible e.g. from the welding machine or from the high-voltage pulses of the ignition unit. • As laid down in Electromagnetic Compatibility Standard EN 50199, the machines are intended for use

in industrial areas; if they are operated in residential environments, for example, problems may occur in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility.

• The functioning of heart pacemakers can be adversely affected when you are standing near the welding machine.

• It is possible that electronic equipment (e.g. EDP, CNC equipment) in the vicinity of the welding site could malfunction.

• Other mains supply leads, control leads, signal and telecommunications leads above, under and near the welding device may be subject to interference.

Electromagnetic interference must be reduced to a level that no longer constitutes interference. Possible reduction measures: • Welding machines must be serviced regularly. (see Chap. Maintenance and care) • Welding leads should be as short as possible and run closely together on or near to the ground. • Selective shielding of other leads and equipment in the environment can reduce radiation.

Repair and modifications may only carried out by authorised, trained, specialist staff. The warranty becomes null and void in the event of unauthorised interference.

Transport and installation

Item No.: 099-004877-EWM01 9

2.2 Transport and installation

The machines may only be transported and operated in an upright position.

Before carrying away or moving, pull out mains plug and place on the machine.

When setting up the machine, resistance to tilting is only guaranteed up to an angle of 10° (as specified in EN 60974-1).

Secure the gas cylinder! • Place shielding gas cylinders in the holders provided for them and secure with safety chains. • Take care when handling cylinders; do not throw or heat, guard against them toppling over. • When moving by crane, take off the gas cylinder from the welding machine.

2.2.1 Ambient conditions This machine must not be operated in any area where any risk of explosion exists. The following conditions must be observed during operation:

Temperature range of the ambient air • During welding: -10°C to +40°C *), • For transport and storage: -25°C to +55°C *) *) Using the appropriate coolant.

Relative air humidity • up to 50% at 40°C • up to 90% at 20°C The ambient air must be free of unusual amounts of dust, acids, corrosive gases or substances, etc., assuming these are not produced by the welding process. Examples of unusual operating conditions:

• unusual corrosive smoke, • vapour, • excessive oil vapour, • unusual vibrations or jolts, • excessive quantities of dust such as grinding dust etc., • severe weather conditions, • unusual conditions near the coast or on board ship. When setting up the machine, ensure a free inlet and outlet of air. The machine is tested to protection class IP23, i.e.:

• Protection against penetration of solid foreign bodies ∅ > 12mm, • Protection against water spray up to an angle of 60° to the vertical.

5.3 TIG welding 5.3.1 Arc ignition 5.3.1.1 HF ignition

Figure 5-3

The arc is started without contact from high-voltage ignition pulses. a) Position the welding torch in welding position over the workpiece (distance between the electrode tip

and workpiece should be approx. 2-3mm). b) Press the torch trigger (high voltage ignition pulses ignite the arc). c) Ignition current flows, and the welding process is continued depending on the operating mode

selected. End the welding process: Release or press the torch trigger depending on the operating mode selected.

5.3.1.2 Liftarc

a) b) c)

Figure 5-4

The arc is ignited on contact with the workpiece: a) Carefully place the torch gas nozzle and tungsten electrode tip onto the workpiece and press the torch

trigger (liftarc current flowing, regardless of the main current set). b) Incline the torch over the torch gas nozzle to produce a gap of approx. 2-3 mm between the electrode

tip and the workpiece. The arc ignites and the welding current is increased, depending on the operating mode set, to the ignition or main current set.

c) Lift off the torch and swivel to the normal position. Ending the welding process: Release or press the torch trigger depending on the operating mode selected.

5.3.2 Optimising the ignition characteristics for pure tungsten electrodes The best ignition and stabilisation of the arc (DC, AC) and optimum spherical cup formation in the tungsten electrode depend on the electrode diameter being used.

The set value should correspond to the diameter of the tungsten electrode. The value can of course be adjusted in line with different requirements.

The adjustable welding current is limited to the maximum permissible welding current of the tungsten electrode.

5.3.4 Tapping operating mode The tapping mode was included particularly for the secondary current (AMP%) by the use of a trigger on the welding torch. Torch with one trigger: • by tapping (brief pressing and releasing) torch trigger 1

(Repeated tapping switches back to the main current). Torch with two triggers: There are two ways of switching to the secondary current:

• by tapping (see torch with one trigger) • by pressing down and holding torch trigger 2.

5.3.6.2 TIG non-latched operation

When the foot-operated remote control RTF is connected, the machine switches automatically to non-latched operation. The up- and down-slopes are switched off.

Figure 5-6

Step 1: • Press and hold torch trigger 1. • The gas pre-flow time elapses. • HF ignition pulses jump from the electrode to the workpiece, the arc ignites. • The welding current flows and immediately assumes the value set for the ignition current Istart. • HF is switched off. • The welding current increases in the adjusted up-slope time to the main current AMP. Step 2: • Release torch trigger 1. • The main current drops in the set down-slope time to the end-crater current Iend (minimum current).

If the 1st torch trigger is pressed during the down-slope time, the welding current returns to the main current AMP set.

• The main current reaches the end-crater current Iend, the arc extinguishes. • The set gas post-flow time elapses.

Step 1 • Press torch trigger 1, the gas pre-flow time elapses. • HF ignition pulses jump from the electrode to the workpiece, the arc ignites. • Welding current flows and immediately assumes the ignition current value set (search arc at minimum

setting). HF is switched off. Step 2 • Release torch trigger 1. • The welding current increases with the set up-slope time to the main current AMP.

Switching from main current AMP to secondary current AMP%: • Press torch trigger 2 or • Tap torch trigger 1 (for tapping mode, see also chapter “Description of tapping mode”) The slope times can be set (see chapter "Advanced settings", section "Setting slope times for secondary current AMP% or pulse edges".

Step 3 • Press torch trigger 1. • The main current drops with the set down-slope time to the end-crater current Iend (minimum current). Step 4 • Release torch trigger 1, the arc extinguishes. • The set gas post-flow time begins.

Immediate termination of the welding procedure without down-slope and end-crater current: • Briefly press the 1st torch trigger (3rd and 4th step).

The current drops to zero and the gas post-flow time begins.

5.3.6.4 TIG spotArc The TIG SpotArc function is activated with the pulse variant automated frequencies by default, because this combination produces the most effective results. The user can of course combine the function with other pulse variants depending on the selected welding process. Pulse time (t1) and pulse break time (t2) can be set independently, but the spot time (tP) should be much greater than the pulse time in order to achieve an appropriate result.

Sequence: • Press and hold torch trigger 1. • The gas pre-flow time elapses. • HF ignition pulses jump from the electrode to the workpiece, the arc ignites. • The welding current flows and immediately assumes the value set for the ignition current Istart. • HF is switched off. • The welding current increases in the adjusted up-slope time to the main current AMP.

The process ends when the set SpotArc time elapses or if the torch trigger is released prematurely.

5.3.6.5 TIG non-latched operation, C version

This operating mode needs to be activated (see chapter "Advanced settings" in the "TIG non-latched operating mode, C version") section.

Figure 5-9

1st cycle • Press torch trigger 1, the gas pre-flow time elapses. • HF ignition pulses jump from the electrode to the workpiece, the arc ignites. • Welding current flows and immediately adopts the ignition current value set (search arc at minimum

setting). HF is switched off. 2nd cycle • Release torch trigger 1. • The welding current increases in the set up-slope time to the main current AMP.

Pressing torch trigger 1 starts the slope (tS1) from main current AMP to secondary current AMP%. Releasing the torch trigger starts the slope (tS2) from the secondary current AMP% back to the main current AMP. This process can be repeated as often as required. The welding process is ended by the arc interruption in the secondary current (removing the torch from the workpiece until the arc is extinguished). The slope times can be set (see chapter "Advanced settings", section "Setting slope times for secondary current AMP% or pulse edges".

5.3.7 TIG pulses, function sequences The function sequences in pulses basically behave in the same way as in standard welding, but

during the main current phase there is a continual switching back and forth between the pulse and pause currents at the relevant times.

5.3.8.2 KHz pulses (metallurgic pulses) The kHz pulses (metallurgic pulses) use the plasma pressure produced at high currents (arc pressure) which is used to achieve a constricted arc with concentrated heat feeding. The frequency can be infinitely adjusted from 50 Hz to 2.5 kHz and the pulse balance from 1 – 99%. In contrast to thermal pulses, the pulse edge times are not required.

5.3.8.3 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.

5.3.9 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.

TIG activArc combined with pulse variant "TIG automated pulses" or "kHz pulses (metallurgic pulses)" improves the positive properties of the process further depending on the task.

6 Commissioning 6.1 General

Warning – Risk from electrical current! Follow the safety instructions on the opening pages entitled “For your safety”. Connection and welding leads (e.g. electrode holder, welding torch, workpiece lead, interfaces) may only be connected when the machine is switched off.

Re-fit protective caps onto sockets and cable plugs when not in use!

6.2 Area of application – proper usage These welding machines are only suitable for:

• MMA direct current welding for rutile and basic electrodes. • TIG direct current and alternating current welding with HF ignition or liftarc. • TIG DC: Unalloyed, low-alloy and high-alloy steels, copper, nickel-based alloys and special metals. • TIG AC/DC: Aluminium and aluminium alloys. Any other use is regarded as "improper" and no liability is assumed for any damage arising therefrom.

We can only guarantee smooth and trouble-free operation of the machines when used in conjunction with the welding torches and accessories from our range.

6.3 Installation

Ensure that the machine is set up in a stable position and is appropriately secured. With modular systems (power source, transport vehicle, cooling module), observe the operating instructions for the relevant machine. Set up the machine so that there is sufficient room to adjust the operating elements.

6.4 Mains connection

The operating voltage shown on the rating plate must match the mains voltage. For mains fuse protection, please refer to the “Technical Data” chapter.

The correct mains plug must be attached to the mains supply lead on the machine. The connection must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with the relevant local laws and regulations. The phase sequence for three-phase machines is optional and has no effect on the fans direction of rotation. • Insert mains plug of the switched-off machine into the appropriate socket.

6.5 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.

6.6 Workpiece lead, general

Remove paint, rust and dirt from clamping and welding areas with a wire brush. The workpiece clamp must be mounted near the welding point and must be fixed in such a way that it cannot come loose of its own accord. Structural parts, pipes, rails etc. may not be used as return leads for the welding current unless they are part of the actual workpiece. Correct current connection must be ensured when using welding benches and appliances.

6.7 TIG welding 6.7.1 Welding torch connection

We can only guarantee the perfect functioning of our machines when used with our range of welding torches. The welding torches being used must meet the following conditions (see also the operating instructions for the torch): • The torch trigger control lead must not be shielded. • Only torches with an insulated crown nut on the gas connection lead may be used.

There is an open circuit voltage or welding voltage on the G1/4” connecting nipple for shielding gas (front of the machine). If welding is carried out alternately using TIG and MMA welding and if a welding torch and an electrode holder are connected to the machine, the open-circuit or welding voltage is applied simultaneously to both. The torch and the electrode holder should therefore always be placed on an insulated surface before starting work and during breaks.

6.8.2 Connection for workpiece lead • Insert cable plug of the workpiece lead into either the "+" or "-" welding current connection socket and

lock by turning to the right.

Polarity depends on the instructions from the electrode manufacturer given on the electrode packaging.

The welding current polarity can be reversed on the machine control (see chapter "Function specification – reversing the welding current polarity").

6.9 Cooling unit function specification A functional test is performed on the cooling module after the welding machine has been switched on.

The coolant pump and the fan are switched on. When the coolant level is sufficient and enough hydrostatic pressure has built up, the cooling module is then switched off after 25 seconds.

If the level is too low, the coolant pump continues to run for a maximum of 30 seconds. An error message is displayed, see also chapter “Operating Problems, Causes and Remedies”.

The cooling unit is switched on at the start of the welding process. Once the welding process has been completed, the water pump and fan continue to run for 5 minutes.

If the coolant pressure drops during the welding process, e.g. due to insufficient coolant, pump failure or a defective tube, the welding process is terminated (coolant pump and the welding machine power unit are shut down), see also chapter “Operating Problems, Causes and Remedies”.

6.9.1 Coolant error If the coolant pressure drops during the welding process, e.g. due to insufficient coolant, pump failure or defective hose, the welding process is terminated deliberately (coolant pump and the welding machine power unit are shut down, please as well see chapter “Operating faults, causes and cures”).

When the welding process is re-started, the coolant error is reset and the cooling module is switched on. If there is still no build-up of coolant pressure, the cooling unit is shut down and the welding process is terminated.

6.10 Simultaneous welding on both sides, synchronisation types This function is important for carrying out welding on both sides simultaneously by two welders. This is sometimes the case with thick aluminium materials in the V-up position, for example. This ensures that when using alternating current the plus and minus pole phases occur simultaneously on both power sources ensuring that the arcs do not have a negative effect on one another.

6.10.1 Synchronisation via mains voltage This application relates to two types of synchronisation:

• Synchronisation between a machine in the TETRIX series and a competitor’s machine • Synchronisation between two machines in the TETRIX series

Phase sequences and rotating fields of the supply voltages must be identical for both welding machines. It is possible to retrofit the "TSyn1" option (accessories) into a machine (rotary dial on the rear of the machine). The phase sequence can be variably adjusted with this rotary dial and optimised for the welding task. All welding machines (except frequency, 50 Hz fixed) are set separately.

7 Maintenance and testing

The maintenance, cleaning and testing work described below must be conducted correctly and on an annual basis in order to be entitled to claim under the EWM warranty.

7.1 General Under the indicated environmental conditions and normal operating conditions, this machine is largely maintenance-free and requires minimum care. However, a number of points should be observed to guarantee fault-free operation of your welding machine. Among these are regular cleaning and checking as described below, depending on the level of contamination in the environment and the usage time of the welding machine.

Cleaning, testing and repairing of the welding machines may only be carried out by competent, capable personnel. A capable person is one who, due to training, knowledge and experience, is able to recognise the dangers that can occur during testing of welding power sources as well as possible subsequent damage and who is able to implement the required safety procedures. In the event of failure to comply with any one of the following tests, the machine must not be operated again until it has been repaired and a new test has been carried out.

7.2 Cleaning

Before cleaning, carefully disconnect the machine from the mains. DISCONNECT THE MAINS PLUG! (Switching off or removing the fuse does not provide adequate insulation protection.) Wait 2 minutes until the capacitors are discharged. Remove the casing cover. The individual components should be handled as follows:

Power source: Depending on the amount of dust, blow out using oil- and moisture-free compressed air. Electronics: Do not blast electronic components or circuit boards with compressed air but instead use

suction from a vacuum cleaner for cleaning purposes.

Coolant: Check for impurities and replace if necessary.

Caution! Mixing with other liquids or the use of other coolants voids our manufacturer's guarantee.

7.3 Test The test should be conducted in accordance with IEC/DIN EN 60974-4 "Arc welding equipment – Inspection and testing during operation" in accordance with the German Ordinance of Operational Safety. This standard is firstly, international, and secondly, specific to arc welding equipment.

The former term of repetition test has been replaced due to a change in the corresponding standard with "Inspection and testing during operation". In addition to the regulations on the test given here, the relevant local laws and regulations must also be observed.

7.3.1 Test equipment Due to the special conditions of inverter arc welding equipment, not all test equipment is suitable

for testing in accordance with VDE 0702 to the full extent! EWM as a manufacturer offers all appropriately trained and authorised EWM sales partners the appropriate test equipment and measuring devices conforming to VDE 0404-2, which evaluate the frequency response conforming to DIN EN 61010-1 Appendix A – Measuring Circuit A1.

You as the user are tasked with ensuring that your EWM machines conform to the standard IEC/DIN EN 60974-4 and are tested with the relevant test equipment and measuring devices given above.

The following description of the test is only a brief overview of the products to be tested. For details on the test points or in the event of any queries, please refer to IEC/DIN EN 60974-4.

6u8F10nF

0...5k

0k2

1k0 1N 4007

Measuring circuit according to DIN EN 60974-1

Connect the measuring circuit to the welding current sockets. The voltmeter must display mean values and have an internal resistance ≥ 1 MΩ. In the case of step switch controlled devices, set the maximum output voltage (step switch). Adjust the potentiometer from 0 kΩ to 5 kΩ during the measurement. The measured voltage should not deviate from that specified on the rating plate by more than +/- 5% and may be no greater than 113 V (for devices with VRD: 35 V).

7.3.5 Measurement of insulation resistance The mains switch must be on so that the insulation in the interior of the machine can also be checked through to the transformer. If a mains contactor is fitted, this should be bridged or the measurement must be carried out on both sides.

The insulation resistance must not be less than:

Mains current circuit against Welding current circuit and electronics 5 MΩ Welding current circuit and electronics

against Protective conductor circuit (PE) 2.5 MΩ

Mains current circuit against Protective conductor circuit (PE) 2.5 MΩ

Maintenance and testing Test

76 Item No.: 099-004877-EWM01

7.3.6 Measuring the leakage current (protective conductor and contact current) Note: Even if the leakage current measurement according to the standard is only an alternative to the insulation resistance measurement, EWM recommends always performing both measurements, especially following repair work. The leakage current is based for the greater part on a physical effect other than the insulation resistance. For this reason, it may not be possible to uncover a dangerous leakage current using the insulation resistance measurement.

These measurements cannot be performed with a normal multimeter. Even test devices for VDE 0702 (especially older devices) are generally only intended for 50/60Hz. With inverter welding machines, however, significantly higher frequencies occur, which can interfere with some measuring devices, and result in others measuring the frequency incorrectly.

A test device must meet the requirements of VDE 0404-2. For the frequency response measurement, please refer to DIN EN 61010-1 Appendix A – Measuring circuit A1.

For these measurements the welding machine must be switched on and supplying open circuit voltage. 1. Protective conductor current: < 5mA 2. Leakage current from the welding sockets separately to PE: < 10mA

7.3.7 Measurement of protective conductor resistance Measure between the plug earthed contact and accessible live parts, e.g. casing screws. During the measurement, the connection lead must be moved across the entire length, especially near the casing and plug inlet points. This should uncover any interruptions in the protective conductor. All conductive parts of the casing accessible from outside should also be tested to ensure a correct PE connection for safety class I.

The resistance must not exceed a mains connection lead 0.3Ω up to 5m in length. For longer leads, the permissible value increases by 0.1Ω per 7.5m of lead. The maximum permissible value is 1Ω.

7.3.8 Functional test of the welding machine Safety devices, selector switches and command units (if fitted) and the entire machine or the entire system for arc welding, must be functioning perfectly.

1. Main switch 2. Emergency stop devices 3. Voltage reducing device 4. Gas solenoid valve 5. Message and control lamps

7.3.9 Documentation of the test The test report must contain: • the designation of the tested welding equipment, • the date of the test, • the test results, • the signature, name of technician and the relevant institution, • the name of the test equipment. A label with the date of the test must be affixed to the welding machine to show that the test has been passed.
