SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1.0 Safety Precautions

1.1 Safety - English

WARNING: These Safety Precautions are

for your protection. They summarize pre-

cautionary information from the references

listed in Additional Safety Information sec-

tion. Before performing any installation or operating

procedures, be sure to read and follow the safety precau-

tions listed below as well as all other manuals, material

safety data sheets, labels, etc. Failure to observe Safety

Precautions can result in injury or death.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS --

Some welding, cutting, and gouging

processes are noisy and require ear

protection. The arc, like the sun, emits

ultraviolet (UV) and other radiation

and can injure skin and eyes. Hot metal can cause

burns. Training in the proper use of the processes

and equipment is essential to prevent accidents.

Therefore:

1. Always wear safety glasses with side shields in any

work area, even if welding helmets, face shields, and

goggles are also required.

2. Use a face shield tted with the correct lter and

cover plates to protect your eyes, face, neck, and

ears from sparks and rays of the arc when operating

or observing operations. Warn bystanders not to

watch the arc and not to expose themselves to the

rays of the electric-arc or hot metal.

3. Wear ameproof gauntlet type gloves, heavy long-

sleeve shirt, cuess trousers, high-topped shoes,

and a welding helmet or cap for hair protection, to

protect against arc rays and hot sparks or hot metal.

A ameproof apron may also be desirable as protec-

tion against radiated heat and sparks.

4. Hot sparks or metal can lodge in rolled up sleeves,

trouser cus, or pockets. Sleeves and collars should

be kept buttoned, and open pockets eliminated from

the front of clothing.

5. Protect other personnel from arc rays and hot

sparks with a suitable non-ammable partition or

curtains.

6. Use goggles over safety glasses when chipping slag

or grinding. Chipped slag may be hot and can y far.

Bystanders should also wear goggles over safety

glasses.

FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS -- Heat from

ames and arcs can start res. Hot

slag or sparks can also cause res and

explosions. Therefore:

1. Remove all combustible materials well away from

the work area or cover the materials with a protec-

tive non-ammable covering. Combustible materials

include wood, cloth, sawdust, liquid and gas fuels,

solvents, paints and coatings, paper, etc.

2. Hot sparks or hot metal can fall through cracks or

crevices in oors or wall openings and cause a hid-

den smoldering re or res on the oor below. Make

certain that such openings are protected from hot

sparks and metal.“

3. Do not weld, cut or perform other hot work until the

workpiece has been completely cleaned so that there

are no substances on the workpiece which might

produce ammable or toxic vapors. Do not do hot

work on closed containers. They may explode.

4. Have re extinguishing equipment handy for instant

use, such as a garden hose, water pail, sand bucket,

or portable re extinguisher. Be sure you are trained

in its use.

5. Do not use equipment beyond its ratings. For ex-

ample, overloaded welding cable can overheat and

create a re hazard.

6. After completing operations, inspect the work area

to make certain there are no hot sparks or hot metal

which could cause a later re. Use re watchers when

necessary.

7. For additional information, refer to NFPA Standard

51B, "Fire Prevention in Use of Cutting and Welding

Processes", available from the National Fire Protec-

tion Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA

02269.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK -- Contact with

live electrical parts and ground can

cause severe injury or death. DO NOT

use AC welding current in damp areas,

if movement is conned, or if there is

danger of falling.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Be sure the power source frame (chassis) is con-

nected to the ground system of the input power.

2. Connect the workpiece to a good electrical

ground.

3. Connect the work cable to the workpiece. A poor

or missing connection can expose you or others

to a fatal shock.

4. Use well-maintained equipment. Replace worn or

damaged cables.

5. Keep everything dry, including clothing, work

area, cables, torch/electrode holder, and power

source.

6. Make sure that all parts of your body are insulated

from work and from ground.

7. Do not stand directly on metal or the earth while

working in tight quarters or a damp area; stand

on dry boards or an insulating platform and wear

rubber-soled shoes.

8. Put on dry, hole-free gloves before turning on the

power.

9. Turn o the power before removing your gloves.

10. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (listed on

next page) for specic grounding recommenda-

tions. Do not mistake the work lead for a ground

cable.

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS

— May be dangerous. Electric cur-

rent owing through any conduc-

tor causes localized Electric and

Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding and

cutting current creates EMF around welding cables

and welding machines. Therefore:

1. Welders having pacemakers should consult their

physician before welding. EMF may interfere with

some pacemakers.

2. Exposure to EMF may have other health eects which

are unknown.

3. Welders should use the following procedures to

minimize exposure to EMF:

A. Route the electrode and work cables together.

Secure them with tape when possible.

B. Never coil the torch or work cable around your

body.

C. Do not place your body between the torch and

work cables. Route cables on the same side of

your body.

D. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close

as possible to the area being welded.

E. Keep welding power source and cables as far

away from your body as possible.

FUMES AND GASES -- Fumes and

gases, can cause discomfort or harm,

particularly in conned spaces. Do

not breathe fumes and gases. Shield-

ing gases can cause asphyxiation.

Therefore:

1. Always provide adequate ventilation in the work area

by natural or mechanical means. Do not weld, cut, or

gouge on materials such as galvanized steel, stain-

less steel, copper, zinc, lead, beryllium, or cadmium

unless positive mechanical ventilation is provided.

Do not breathe fumes from these materials.

2. Do not operate near degreasing and spraying opera-

tions. The heat or arc rays can react with chlorinated

hydrocarbon vapors to form phosgene, a highly

toxic gas, and other irritant gases.

3. If you develop momentary eye, nose, or throat ir-

ritation while operating, this is an indication that

ventilation is not adequate. Stop work and take

necessary steps to improve ventilation in the work

area. Do not continue to operate if physical discom-

fort persists.

4. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (see listing below)

for specic ventilation recommendations.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

5. WARNING: This product, when used for welding

or cutting, produces fumes or gases

which contain chemicals known to

the State of California to cause birth

defects and, in some cases, cancer.

(California Health & Safety Code

§25249.5 et seq.)

CYLINDER HANDLING -- Cylinders,

if mishandled, can rupture and vio-

lently release gas. Sudden rupture

of cylinder, valve, or relief device can

injure or kill. Therefore:

1. Use the proper gas for the process and use the

proper pressure reducing regulator designed to

operate from the compressed gas cylinder. Do not

use adaptors. Maintain hoses and ttings in good

condition. Follow manufacturer's operating instruc-

tions for mounting regulator to a compressed gas

cylinder.

2. Always secure cylinders in an upright position by

chain or strap to suitable hand trucks, undercar-

riages, benches, walls, post, or racks. Never secure

cylinders to work tables or xtures where they may

become part of an electrical circuit.

3. When not in use, keep cylinder valves closed. Have

valve protection cap in place if regulator is not con-

nected. Secure and move cylinders by using suitable

hand trucks. Avoid rough handling of cylinders.

4. Locate cylinders away from heat, sparks, and ames.

Never strike an arc on a cylinder.

5. For additional information, refer to CGA Standard P-1,

"Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases

in Cylinders", which is available from Compressed

Gas Association, 1235 Jeerson Davis Highway,

Arlington, VA 22202.

EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE -- Faulty or

improperly maintained equipment can

cause injury or death. Therefore:

1. Always have qualied personnel perform the instal-

lation, troubleshooting, and maintenance work.

Do not perform any electrical work unless you are

qualied to perform such work.

2. Before performing any maintenance work inside a

power source, disconnect the power source from

the incoming electrical power.

3. Maintain cables, grounding wire, connections, power

cord, and power supply in safe working order. Do

not operate any equipment in faulty condition.

4. Do not abuse any equipment or accessories. Keep

equipment away from heat sources such as furnaces,

wet conditions such as water puddles, oil or grease,

corrosive atmospheres and inclement weather.

5. Keep all safety devices and cabinet covers in position

and in good repair.

6. Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Do

not modify it in any manner.

de datos de seguridad del material, calcomanias, etc.

El no observar las Precauciones de Seguridad puede

resultar en daño a la persona o muerte.

PROTEJASE USTED Y A LOS DEMAS--

Algunos procesos de soldadura, corte

y ranurado son ruidosos y requiren

protección para los oídos. El arco,

como el sol , emite rayos ultravioleta

(UV) y otras radiaciones que pueden dañar la piel

y los ojos. El metal caliente causa quemaduras. EL

entrenamiento en el uso propio de los equipos y

sus procesos es esencial para prevenir accidentes.

Por lo tanto:

1. Utilice gafas de seguridad con protección a los lados

siempre que esté en el área de trabajo, aún cuando

esté usando careta de soldar, protector para su cara

u otro tipo de protección.

2. Use una careta que tenga el ltro correcto y lente

para proteger sus ojos, cara, cuello, y oídos de las

chispas y rayos del arco cuando se esté operando y

observando las operaciones. Alerte a todas las per-

sonas cercanas de no mirar el arco y no exponerse

a los rayos del arco eléctrico o el metal fundido.

3. Use guantes de cuero a prueba de fuego, camisa

pesada de mangas largas, pantalón de ruedo liso,

zapato alto al tobillo, y careta de soldar con capucha

para el pelo, para proteger el cuerpo de los rayos y

chispas calientes provenientes del metal fundido.

En ocaciones un delantal a prueba de fuego es

necesario para protegerse del calor radiado y las

chispas.

4. Chispas y partículas de metal caliente puede alojarse

en las mangas enrolladas de la camisa , el ruedo del

pantalón o los bolsillos. Mangas y cuellos deberán

mantenerse abotonados, bolsillos al frente de la

camisa deberán ser cerrados o eliminados.

5. Proteja a otras personas de los rayos del arco y chis-

pas calientes con una cortina adecuada no-amable

como división.

6. Use careta protectora además de sus gafas de segu-

ridad cuando esté removiendo escoria o puliendo.

La escoria puede estar caliente y desprenderse con

velocidad. Personas cercanas deberán usar gafas

de seguridad y careta protectora.

FUEGO Y EXPLOSIONES -- El calor de

las amas y el arco pueden ocacionar

fuegos. Escoria caliente y las chispas

pueden causar fuegos y explosiones.

Por lo tanto:

1. Remueva todo material combustible lejos del área

de trabajo o cubra los materiales con una cobija a

prueba de fuego. Materiales combustibles incluyen

madera, ropa, líquidos y gases amables, solventes,

pinturas, papel, etc.

2. Chispas y partículas de metal pueden introducirse en

las grietas y agujeros de pisos y paredes causando

fuegos escondidos en otros niveles o espacios.

Asegúrese de que toda grieta y agujero esté cubierto

para proteger lugares adyacentes contra fuegos.

3. No corte, suelde o haga cualquier otro trabajo

relacionado hasta que la pieza de trabajo esté to-

talmente limpia y libre de substancias que puedan

producir gases inamables o vapores tóxicos. No

trabaje dentro o fuera de contenedores o tanques

cerrados. Estos pueden explotar si contienen vapores

inamables.

4. Tenga siempre a la mano equipo extintor de fu-

ego para uso instantáneo, como por ejemplo una

manguera con agua, cubeta con agua, cubeta con

arena, o extintor portátil. Asegúrese que usted esta

entrenado para su uso.

5. No use el equipo fuera de su rango de operación. Por

ejemplo, el calor causado por cable sobrecarga en

los cables de soldar pueden ocasionar un fuego.

6. Después de termirar la operación del equipo, inspec-

cione el área de trabajo para cerciorarse de que las

chispas o metal caliente ocasionen un fuego más

tarde. Tenga personal asignado para vigilar si es

necesario.

CAMPOS ELECTRICOS Y MAGNETI-

COS - Son peligrosos. La corriente

eléctrica uye através de cualquier

conductor causando a nivel local

Campos Eléctricos y Magnéticos

(EMF). Las corrientes en el área de corte y soldadura,

crean EMF alrrededor de los cables de soldar y las

maquinas. Por lo tanto:

1. Soldadores u Operadores que use marca-pasos para

el corazón deberán consultar a su médico antes de

soldar. El Campo Electromagnético (EMF) puede

interferir con algunos marca-pasos.

2. Exponerse a campos electromagnéticos (EMF) puede

causar otros efectos de salud aún desconocidos.

3. Los soldadores deberán usar los siguientes proced-

imientos para minimizar exponerse al EMF:

A. Mantenga el electrodo y el cable a la pieza de

trabajo juntos, hasta llegar a la pieza que usted

quiere soldar. Asegúrelos uno junto al otro con

cinta adhesiva cuando sea posible.

B. Nunca envuelva los cables de soldar alrededor

de su cuerpo.

C. Nunca ubique su cuerpo entre la antorcha y el

cable, a la pieza de trabajo. Mantega los cables a

un sólo lado de su cuerpo.

D. Conecte el cable de trabajo a la pieza de trabajo

lo más cercano posible al área de la soldadura.

E. Mantenga la fuente de poder y los cables de soldar

de trabajo por medio natural o mecánico. No solde,

corte, o ranure materiales con hierro galvanizado,

acero inoxidable, cobre, zinc, plomo, berílio, o cad-

mio a menos que provea ventilación mecánica

positiva . No respire los gases producidos por

estos materiales.

2. No opere cerca de lugares donde se aplique sub-

stancias químicas en aerosol. El calor de los rayos

del arco pueden reaccionar con los vapores de

hidrocarburo clorinado para formar un fosfógeno,

o gas tóxico, y otros irritant es.

3. Si momentáneamente desarrolla inrritación de

ojos, nariz o garganta mientras est á operando, es

indicación de que la ventilación no es apropiada.

Pare de trabajar y tome las medidas necesarias

para mejorar la ventilación en el área de trabajo.

No continúe operando si el malestar físico per-

siste.

comme le soleil, émet des rayons ultraviolets en plus

d'autre rayons qui peuvent causer des blessures à la

peau et les yeux. Le métal incandescent peut causer

des brûlures. Une formation reliée à l'usage des

processus et de l'équipement est essentielle pour

prévenir les accidents. Par conséquent:

1. Portez des lunettes protectrices munies d'écrans la-

téraux lorsque vous êtes dans l'aire de travail, même

si vous devez porter un casque de soudeur, un écran

facial ou des lunettes étanches.

2. Portez un écran facial muni de verres ltrants et de

plaques protectrices appropriées an de protéger

vos yeux, votre visage, votre cou et vos oreilles des

étincelles et des rayons de l'arc lors d'une opération

ou lorsque vous observez une opération. Avertissez

les personnes se trouvant à proximité de ne pas re-

garder l'arc et de ne pas s'exposer aux rayons de l'arc

électrique ou le métal incandescent.

3. Portez des gants ignifugiés à crispin, une chemise

épaisse à manches longues, des pantalons sans rebord

et des chaussures montantes an de vous protéger des

rayons de l'arc, des étincelles et du métal incandescent,

en plus d'un casque de soudeur ou casquette pour

protéger vos cheveux. Il est également recommandé

de porter un tablier ininammable an de vous proté-

ger des étincelles et de la chaleur par rayonnement.

4. Les étincelles et les projections de métal incandescent

risquent de se loger dans les manches retroussées,

les rebords de pantalons ou les poches. Il est recom-

mandé de garder boutonnés le col et les manches et

de porter des vêtements sans poches en avant.

5. Protégez toute personne se trouvant à proximité des

étincelles et des rayons de l'arc à l'aide d'un rideau ou

d'une cloison ininammable.

6. Portez des lunettes étanches par dessus vos lunettes

de sécurité lors des opérations d'écaillage ou de

meulage du laitier. Les écailles de laitier incandescent

peuvent être projetées à des distances considérables.

Les per sonnes se trou vant à proximité doivent égale -

ment porter des lunettes étanches par dessus leur

lunettes de sécurité.

SÉCURITÉ

3. Les soudeurs doivent suivre les procédures suivantes

pour minimiser l'exposition aux champs électriques

et magnétiques :

A. Acheminez l'électrode et les câbles de masse

ensemble. Fixez-les à l'aide d'une bande adhésive

lorsque possible.

B. Ne jamais enrouler la torche ou le câble de masse

autour de votre corps.

C. Ne jamais vous placer entre la torche et les câbles

de masse. Acheminez tous les câbles sur le même

côté de votre corps.

D. Branchez le câble de masse à la pièce à traiter le

plus près possible de la section à souder.

E. Veillez à garder la source d'alimentation pour le

soudage et les câbles à une distance appropriée

de votre corps.

LES VAPEURS ET LES GAZ -- peuvent

causer un malaise ou des dommages

corporels, plus particulièrement

dans les espaces restreints. Ne re-

spirez pas les vapeurs et les gaz. Le

gaz de protection risque de causer

l'asphyxie. Par conséquent :

1. Assurez en permanence une ventilation adéquate

dans l'aire de travail en maintenant une ventila-

tion naturelle ou à l'aide de moyens mécanique.

N'effectuez jamais de travaux de soudage, de

coupage ou de gougeage sur des matériaux tels que

l'acier galvanisé, l'acier inoxydable, le cuivre, le zinc,

le plomb, le berylliym ou le cadmium en l'absence

de moyens mécaniques de ventilation ecaces. Ne

respirez pas les vapeurs de ces matériaux.

2. N'eectuez jamais de travaux à proximité d'une

opération de dégraissage ou de pulvérisation. Lor-

sque la chaleur

ou le rayonnement de l'arc entre en contact avec les

vapeurs d'hydrocarbure chloré, ceci peut déclencher

la formation de phosgène ou d'autres gaz irritants,

tous extrêmement toxiques.

3. Une irritation momentanée des yeux, du nez ou de la

gorge au cours d'une opération indique que la ven-

tilation n'est pas adéquate. Cessez votre travail an

de prendre les mesures nécessaires pour améliorer

la ventilation dans l'aire de travail. Ne poursuivez

pas l'opération si le malaise persiste.

4. Consultez ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (à la page

suivante) pour des recommandations spéciques

concernant la ventilation.

1. Assurez-vous que le châssis de la source

d'alimentation est branché au système de mise à

la terre de l'alimentation d'entrée.

2. Branchez la pièce à traiter à une bonne mise de

terre électrique.

3. Branchez le câble de masse à la pièce à traiter et

assurez une bonne connexion an d'éviter le risque

de choc électrique mortel.

4. Utilisez toujours un équipement correctement

entretenu. Remplacez les câbles usés ou endom-

magés.

5. Veillez à garder votre environnement sec, incluant

les vêtements, l'aire de travail, les câbles, le porte-

électrode/torche et la source d'alimentation.

6. Assurez-vous que tout votre corps est bien isolé

de la pièce à traiter et des pièces de la mise à la

terre.

7. Si vous devez eectuer votre travail dans un espace

restreint ou humide, ne tenez vous pas directe-

ment sur le métal ou sur la terre; tenez-vous sur

des planches sèches ou une plate-forme isolée et

portez des chaussures à semelles de caoutchouc.

8. Avant de mettre l'équipement sous tension, isolez

vos mains avec des gants secs et sans trous.

9. Mettez l'équipement hors tension avant d'enlever

vos gants.

10. Consultez ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (listé à

la page suivante) pour des recommandations

spéciques concernant les procédures de mise à

la terre. Ne pas confondre le câble de masse avec

le câble de mise à la terre.

CHAMPS ÉLECTRIQUES ET MAGNÉ-

TIQUES — comportent un risque de

danger. Le courant électrique qui

passe dans n'importe quel conduc-

teur produit des champs électriques

et magnétiques localisés. Le soudage et le cou-

rant de coupage créent des champs électriques

et magnétiques autour des câbles de soudage et

l'équipement. Par conséquent :

1. Un soudeur ayant un stimulateur cardiaque doit

consulter son médecin avant d'entreprendre une

opération de soudage. Les champs électriques et

magnétiques peuvent causer des ennuis pour cer-

tains stimulateurs cardiaques.

2. L'exposition à des champs électriques et magné-

tiques peut avoir des eets néfastes inconnus pour

la santé.

SÉCURITÉ

1. Efforcez-vous de toujours confier les tâches

d'installation, de dépannage et d'entretien à un

personnel qualié. N'eectuez aucune réparation

électrique à moins d'être qualié à cet eet.

2. Avant de procéder à une tâche d'entretien à

l'intérieur de la source d'alimentation, débranchez

l'alimentation électrique.

3. Maintenez les câbles, les ls de mise à la terre,

les branchements, le cordon d'alimentation et la

source d'alimentation en bon état. N'utilisez ja-

mais un équipement s'il présente une défectuosité

quelconque.

4. N'utilisez pas l'équipement de façon abusive. Gardez

l'équipement à l'écart de toute source de chaleur,

notamment des fours, de l'humidité, des aques

d'eau, de l'huile ou de la graisse, des atmosphères

corrosives et des intempéries.

5. Laissez en place tous les dispositifs de sécurité et

tous les panneaux de la console et maintenez-les

en bon état.

6. Utilisez l'équipement conformément à son usage

prévu et n'eectuez aucune modication.

TORCH

WORK

Be sure to properly insulate this connection before

applying power to the power source. Uninsulated

cable and parts can arc when contacting a ground-

ed surface. The arc may damage eyes or start a re.

Body contact with an uninsulated weld cable con-

nector, or uncovered conductor can shock, possibly

fatally.

B. Connect a second welding cable (work lead) between

the opposite polarity output connection on the power

source and the work piece.

C. Connect the wire feeder work lead (voltage pick-up)

alligator clip to the work piece.

D. If using with gas shielded wire, connect the inlet gas

hose to the gas inlet connections on the rear of the

feeder.

1. Make sure all hose and cable connections are

tight.

2. Turn power source “ON” and close the contactor if

power source is equipped with an output contac-

tor control switch. Open circuit voltage must be

present to operate the wire feeder.

3. Turn wire feeder power switch “ON”.

4. Inspect all gas connections for leaks.

Unless starting to weld, do not allow the welding wire

to touch a grounded metal surface. The welding wire

becomes electrically hot when the secondary contactor

is closed. Keep ngers clear of the drive rolls; they will

start turning when the torch trigger is pressed.

5. If using gas shielded wires, adjust the gas ow-

meter to the desired ow rate by closing the gun

trigger switch.

6. Turn power source and wire feeder OFF when not

in use.

2.3 TORCH CONNECTIONS

The torch adaptor on the MobileFeed connects directly

to the wire feeder wire drive assembly, power and shield-

ing gas supply. Line up the torch connector with the wire

feeder adaptor, push on rmly and hand tighten the lock-

ing collar on the Euro Connector.

Make sure the torch chosen is of the proper rating for

the welding current to be used, has the proper size

and type of liner, the proper contact tip and the proper

guide tube.

2.4 SUPPLY CONNECTIONS

Before making any connections between the wire

feeder and the welding power source, turn o power

to the welding power source and the wire feeder.

The MobileFeed 200 AVS can be used with either DCEP

or DCEN polarity without modications.

A. Connect the welding cable from the power source;

positive terminal for gas shielded ux cored or sol-

id wires, or negative for most gasless self-shielded

cored wires, to the weld cable lug connection ex-

tending from the rear of the MobileFeed 200 AVS

feeder.

WARNING

CAUTION

SECTION 2 INSTALLATION

2.5 THREADING THE WELDING WIRE

When the wire feeder is connected to the power source,

the work lead from the power source is connected to

the work piece and the power source is energized,

closing the torch trigger will cause the welding wire to

become electrically hot and will cause the drive rolls

to turn. Keep ngers clear!

A. Turn OFF the power source and the wire feeder.

B. Release the pressure roll assembly lever and check

for the proper drive roll, groove position and wire

guides.

Before threading welding wire, make sure the chisel

point and burrs have been removed from the end

of the wire to prevent the wire from jamming in the

torch liner.

C. Feed the wire from the spool through the inlet guide

along the drive roll groove and into the outlet guide

tube.

D. Lower the pressure roll assembly and adjust the drive

roll pressure to assure no wire slippage, but not too

tight to create excess pressure.

E. Turn ON the power source and the wire feeder. Close

the torch trigger to feed wire through the torch.

CAUTION

WARNING

2.6 BRAKE DRAG ADJUSTMENT

Brake disc friction should provide enough drag to keep the

wire spool from spinning freely after the wire feed stops.

The brake hub is adjusted when delivered, if readjustment

is required, follow the instructions below. Adjust the brake

hub so that wire is slightly slack when wire feed stops.

Adjusting the braking torque:

Turn red handle to the unlocked position and pull •

straight out to remove.

Using a 0.31” (7.9mm) Allen wrench, turn the Nyloc •

screw clockwise to increase the braking torque.

Using a 0.31” (7.9mm) Allen wrench, turn the Ny-•

loc screw counterclockwise to reduce the braking

torque.

SECTION 3 OPERATION

3.1 CONTROLS

3.1.1 POWER SWITCH

The ON-OFF switch on the front of the wire feeder case

energizes the wire feeder when the feeder is connected

to the power source and the work piece, and the power

source is turned ON with the contactor closed.

3.1.2 WIRE FEED SPEED (ARC VOLTAGE CONTROL)

The wire feed speed is controlled by the wire feed speed

dial on the front of the wire feeder case. When connected

to a constant voltage (cv) type power source, the wire

feed speed dial controls the welding current. Turning

the dial clockwise increases welding current; turning it

counterclockwise decreases welding current.

When connected to a constant current (cc) type power

source, the wire feed speed dial controls the arc voltage.

Turning the wire feed speed dial clockwise decreases arc

voltage; turning it counterclockwise increases arc voltage.

The actual wire feed speed for any given setting varies

with the arc voltage. Increasing arc voltage causes an

increase in wire feed speed.

The MobileFeed 200 AVS wire feeder is equipped with

automatic “Slow wire run-in”. If the wire feeder senses

that the power source output voltage is in excess of 33

volts, the “run-in” wire speed automatically decreases for a

xed period of time (250ms) to improve arc starts. When

the arc is established, the wire feed speed is controlled

by the wire feed speed control knob on the MobileFeed

front panel.

3.1.3 WIRE FEED SPEED (CONSTANT SPEED)

The MobileFeed 200 AVS can be switched to a “Non” Volt-

age Control Mode where the wire feed speed remains rela-

tively constant and will not change speed with changes

in arc voltage. Locate switch SW1 on the PC board and

position S1 and S2. See Figure 3-2 and Table 3.1.

3.1.4 5 amp CIRCUIT BREAKER (CB1)

This resettable 5 amp circuit breaker, in series with mo-

tor armature, protects the control board from damage if

the motor is stalled.

(Factory settings are as follows: S1 - closed, S2 - open)

Description

Factory Setting - Constant Current Operation ( “Voltage Control Mode” )

In this operation mode the MobileFeed feeder is ready for connection to a “ Constant

Current “ power source which typically provides a high open circuit voltage and low

short circuit current which makes arc starting dicult. Therefore, “slow run-in” of the

wire is automatically enabled if OCV exceeds 33 volts to provide good and reliable

arc starting. The arc length during welding is determined by a combination of the

wire feed speed knob position (MobileFeed feeder front panel) and the weld “Cur-

rent” setting on the CC power source. When a good welding condition is achieved,

the arc length will be maintained by changes in wire feed speed provided by arc volt-

age control. Variables causing changes in arc voltage, for example, wire “stick-out”,

wire density or shielding variations, will cause the wire feed speed to compensate to

maintain the arc length preset.

Alternate Setting - Constant Voltage Operation ( “Constant Wire Feed Speed” )

In this operation mode the feeder is ready for connection to “ Constant Voltage “

power source which is typically used for most GMAW (MIG/MAG) welding. CV power

sources provide high short circuit currents for good arc starting and wire burn-o.

“Slow run-in” of the wire is automatically disabled. The arc length while welding is de-

termined by a combination of the wire feed speed knob position (MobileFeed feeder

front panel) and the weld “Voltage” setting on the CV power source. When a good

welding condition is achieved, the arc length will be maintained by the power source

and the wire feed speed will remain constant. Any variations in wire “stick-out”, wire

density or shielding variations, could cause the arc length (arc voltage) variations.

NOTE:

If both switches are placed in the OPEN (O) position the wire feed motor is disabled and the motor will NOT run.

3.2 OPERATING PROCEDURES

3.2.1 OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Comply with all ventilation, re and other safety require-

ments for arc welding as established in the SAFETY Section

at the front of this manual.

A. Because of the radiant energy of the welding arc and

the possibility of drawing an arc before the helmet is

lowered over the face, the operator should wear ash

goggles with lter lenses under his helmet. The hel-

met lter plate should be shade number 11 (nonfer-

rous) or 12 (ferrous). All those viewing the arc should

use helmets with lter plates, as well as ash goggles.

Nearby personnel should wear ash goggles.

B. The radiant energy of the arc can decompose chlo-

rinated solvent vapors, such as trichloroethane and

perchlorethylene, to form phosgene, even when

these vapors are present in low concentrations. DO

NOT weld where chlorinated solvents are present in

atmospheres in or around the arc.

C. DO NOT touch the electrode, contact tip or metal parts

when power is ON: all are electrically energized (HOT)

and can cause a possibly fatal shock. DO NOT allow

electrode to touch grounded metal. It will create an

arc ash that can injure eyes. It may also start a re or

cause other damage.

D. When working in a conned space, be sure it is safe

to enter. The conned space should be tested for

adequate oxygen (at least 19%) with an approved

oxygen measuring instrument. The conned space

should not contain toxic concentrations of fumes

or gases. If this cannot be determined, the operator

should wear an approved air supplied breathing ap-

paratus. Avoid gas leaks in a conned space, as the

leaked gas can dangerously reduce oxygen concen-

tration in the breathing air. DO NOT bring gas cylin-

ders into conned spaces. When leaving a conned

space, shut OFF gas supply at the source to prevent

gas from leaking into the space. Check the breathing

atmosphere in the conned space to be sure it is safe

to reenter.

E. Never operate the equipment at currents greater than

the rated ampere capacity. Overheating will occur.

F. Never operate equipment in a damp or wet area with-

out suitable insulation for protection against shock.

Keep hands, feet and clothing dry at all times.

G. Whenever the equipment is left unattended, turn

OFF all control power, power supply switches and gas

supplies. Open the main line switch.

H. Wear dark substantial clothing to protect exposed

skin from arc burn, sparks and ying hot metal.

I. Turn o welding power before adjusting or replacing

electrodes.

When the power switch is ON, and torch trigger is

depressed, the electrode wire becomes electrically

hot and the wire feed rolls are activated. Do not touch

the wire as it may cause a possibly fatal shock. Unless

welding, do not allow wire to touch a grounded metal

surface as it will cause an arc ash. Keep clear of feed

rolls and drive gears.

Prior to welding, it is imperative that proper protective

clothing (welding coat and gloves) and eye protection

(glasses and/or welding helmet) be put on. Failure to

comply may result in serious injury

WARNING

Do not terminate the arc by removing the torch from

the weld area. Release the torch trigger to stop welding

before removing the torch.

Failure to shut OFF shield gas in a conned space may

result in a build-up of fumes, displacing oxygen.

NOTE

Using the “Constant Feed” dip switch settings when using a CC power source is NOT RECOMMENDED. Extreme wire feed

speed sensitivity exists making it dicult to set stable welding condition. The arc stability is very dependant on maintain-

ing constant TTW distance which is almost impossible to control when welding manually. “Constant Speed” settings is only

recommended for use with CV power sources.

Typical welding voltages for 5000 Aluminum are between 21 and 25 volts which limits the wire feed speed of the Mobile-

Feed especially if trying to weld with 035” diameter 5356 alloy. Welding with wire diameters ≤3/64” and/or below 22 arc

volts could cause problems with limited wire feed speed and the inability to achieve a good welding condition.

SECTION 3 OPERATION

4.1 MAINTENANCE

Be sure the branch circuit or main disconnect switch is

OFF or electrical input circuit fuses are removed from

the power source main supply before attempting any

inspection or work on the inside of the wire feeder.

Placing the power switch on the welding machine in

the OFF position does not remove all power from inside

of the equipment.

Inspection, troubleshooting, and repair of this equip-

ment should be undertaken by a competent individual

having at least general experience in the maintenance

and repair of semi-conductor electronic equipment.

Maintenance or repair should not be undertaken by

anyone not having such qualications.

As an aid in checking and servicing, refer to the following

pages; Schematic Diagram and/or Wiring Diagram.

4.2 INSPECTION AND SERVICE

Keep equipment in clean and safe operating condition,

free of oil, grease, and (in electrical parts) liquid and metal-

lic particles which can cause short-circuits.

Regularly check cylinder valves, regulators, hoses, and gas

connections for leaks with soap solution.

Check for and tighten loose hardware including electrical

connections. Loose power connections overheat during

welding.

Immediately replace all worn or damaged power cables

and connectors. Check for frayed and cracked insulation,

particularly in areas where conductors enter Equipment.

The electrode wire and all metal parts in contact with it are

electrically energized while welding. Inspect these parts

periodically for defective insulation and other electrical

hazards.

If uninsulated cable and parts are not replaced, an arc

caused by a bared cable or part touching a grounded

surface may damage unprotected eyes or start a re.

Body contact with a bared cable, connector, or uncov-

ered conductor can shock, possibly fatally.

WARNING

Keep power cables dry, free of oil and grease, and protect-

ed at all times from damage by hot metal and sparks.

Clean dirt and metal particles from drive roll groove

weekly; replace roll if badly worn.

4.2.1 WIRE FEEDER

When soft wire is fed, the drive rolls may pick up metal

from the wire surface. Accumulation on the rolls may score

the wire with resulting unwanted friction and improper

feeding.

Inspect the rolls regularly and clean them with a ne-wire

power brush. Avoid roughening, or removing the hardness

of groove surfaces in grooved rolls. Any roughening may

score the wire, just as the accumulation being removed

may do.

4.2.2 SOLENOID VALVE REPLACEMENT

If there is no gas ow through the wire feeder, the gas

solenoid valve may be clogged or electrically malfunc-

tioning and it should be replaced. When replacing the

gas solenoid valve, the inlet (with the word IN) must face

the rear of the unit.

4.2.3 GENERAL REPLACEMENT

The views in the Parts Section indicate wire drive and

feeder parts.

SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE

4.3 TROUBLESHOOTING

If welding equipment does not work properly, inspect as

follows:

A. With all power controls ON and other operating

controls at required settings, visually check all power

cables and connections for evidence of overheating

or sparking.

To avoid shock, do not touch electrode wire or parts in

contact with it, or uninsulated cable or connections.

B. Check all gas hoses and connections, owmeters, and

regulators for possible sources of leakage, breakdown,

or intermittent failure.

C. Isolate trouble to one part of the welding installation:

primary power supply, power source, wire feeder, or

wire guide train (casing, drive rolls, liners, and con-

tact tip). If this inspection indicates trouble in the

wire feeder, refer to the following pages; Schematic

Diagram and/or Wiring Diagram.

Many troubleshooting situations require that the

power remain on and that power terminals in the

equipment carry voltage. Exercise extreme caution

when working on “live” equipment. Avoid contact with

electrical components, except when testing with an

appropriate instrument.

Do not make any repairs to equipment unless you

are fully qualied, as described in the maintenance

section.

They summarize precautionary information from the references listed in Additional Safety Information section. Before performing any installation or operating procedures, be sure to read and follow the safety precautions listed below as well as all other manuals, material safety data sheets, labels, etc. Failure to observe Safety Precautions can result in injury or death. FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS -- Heat from flames and arcs can start fires. Hot slag or sparks can also cause fires and explosions. Therefore: 1. Remove all combustible materials well away from the work area or cover the materials with a protective non-flammable covering. Combustible materials include wood, cloth, sawdust, liquid and gas fuels, solvents, paints and coatings, paper, etc. 2. Hot sparks or hot metal can fall through cracks or crevices in floors or wall openings and cause a hidden smoldering fire or fires on the floor below. Make certain that such openings are protected from hot sparks and metal.“ 3. Do not weld, cut or perform other hot work until the workpiece has been completely cleaned so that there are no substances on the workpiece which might produce flammable or toxic vapors. Do not do hot work on closed containers. They may explode. 4. Have fire extinguishing equipment handy for instant use, such as a garden hose, water pail, sand bucket, or portable fire extinguisher. Be sure you are trained in its use. 5. Do not use equipment beyond its ratings. For example, overloaded welding cable can overheat and create a fire hazard. 6. After completing operations, inspect the work area to make certain there are no hot sparks or hot metal which could cause a later fire. Use fire watchers when necessary. 7. For additional information, refer to NFPA Standard 51B, "Fire Prevention in Use of Cutting and Welding Processes", available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269. PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS -Some welding, cutting, and gouging processes are noisy and require ear protection. The arc, like the sun, emits ultraviolet (UV) and other radiation and can injure skin and eyes. Hot metal can cause burns. Training in the proper use of the processes and equipment is essential to prevent accidents. Therefore: 1. Always wear safety glasses with side shields in any work area, even if welding helmets, face shields, and goggles are also required. 2. Use a face shield fitted with the correct filter and cover plates to protect your eyes, face, neck, and ears from sparks and rays of the arc when operating or observing operations. Warn bystanders not to watch the arc and not to expose themselves to the rays of the electric-arc or hot metal. 3. Wear flameproof gauntlet type gloves, heavy longsleeve shirt, cuffless trousers, high-topped shoes, and a welding helmet or cap for hair protection, to protect against arc rays and hot sparks or hot metal. A flameproof apron may also be desirable as protection against radiated heat and sparks. 4. Hot sparks or metal can lodge in rolled up sleeves, trouser cuffs, or pockets. Sleeves and collars should be kept buttoned, and open pockets eliminated from the front of clothing. 5. Protect other personnel from arc rays and hot sparks with a suitable non-flammable partition or curtains. 6. Use goggles over safety glasses when chipping slag or grinding. Chipped slag may be hot and can fly far. Bystanders should also wear goggles over safety glasses. ELECTRICAL SHOCK -- Contact with live electrical parts and ground can cause severe injury or death. DO NOT use AC welding current in damp areas, if movement is confined, or if there is danger of falling. 7 safety precautions 1. Be sure the power source frame (chassis) is connected to the ground system of the input power. 3. Welders should use the following procedures to minimize exposure to EMF: 2. Connect the workpiece to a good electrical ground. A. Route the electrode and work cables together. Secure them with tape when possible. 3. Connect the work cable to the workpiece. A poor or missing connection can expose you or others to a fatal shock. B. Never coil the torch or work cable around your body. C. Do not place your body between the torch and work cables. Route cables on the same side of your body. 4. Use well-maintained equipment. Replace worn or damaged cables. 5. Keep everything dry, including clothing, work area, cables, torch/electrode holder, and power source. D. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being welded. E. Keep welding power source and cables as far away from your body as possible. 6. Make sure that all parts of your body are insulated from work and from ground. 7. Do not stand directly on metal or the earth while working in tight quarters or a damp area; stand on dry boards or an insulating platform and wear rubber-soled shoes. 8. Put on dry, hole-free gloves before turning on the power. Therefore: 9. Turn off the power before removing your gloves. FUMES AND GASES -- Fumes and gases, can cause discomfort or harm, particularly in confined spaces. Do not breathe fumes and gases. Shielding gases can cause asphyxiation. 1. Always provide adequate ventilation in the work area by natural or mechanical means. Do not weld, cut, or gouge on materials such as galvanized steel, stainless steel, copper, zinc, lead, beryllium, or cadmium unless positive mechanical ventilation is provided.

Uninsulated cable and parts can arc when contacting a grounded surface. The arc may damage eyes or start a fire. Body contact with an uninsulated weld cable connector, or uncovered conductor can shock, possibly fatally. The torch adaptor on the MobileFeed connects directly to the wire feeder wire drive assembly, power and shielding gas supply. Line up the torch connector with the wire feeder adaptor, push on firmly and hand tighten the locking collar on the Euro Connector. B. Connect a second welding cable (work lead) between the opposite polarity output connection on the power source and the work piece. C. Connect the wire feeder work lead (voltage pick-up) alligator clip to the work piece. D. If using with gas shielded wire, connect the inlet gas hose to the gas inlet connections on the rear of the feeder. caution Make sure the torch chosen is of the proper rating for the welding current to be used, has the proper size and type of liner, the proper contact tip and the proper guide tube. 1. 2.4 SUPPLY CONNECTIONS 2. WARNING Before making any connections between the wire feeder and the welding power source, turn off power to the welding power source and the wire feeder. 3. 4. Make sure all hose and cable connections are tight. Turn power source “ON” and close the contactor if power source is equipped with an output contactor control switch. Open circuit voltage must be present to operate the wire feeder. Turn wire feeder power switch “ON”. Inspect all gas connections for leaks. The MobileFeed 200 AVS can be used with either DCEP or DCEN polarity without modifications. WARNING A. Connect the welding cable from the power source; positive terminal for gas shielded flux cored or solid wires, or negative for most gasless self-shielded cored wires, to the weld cable lug connection extending from the rear of the MobileFeed 200 AVS feeder. Unless starting to weld, do not allow the welding wire to touch a grounded metal surface. The welding wire becomes electrically hot when the secondary contactor is closed. Keep fingers clear of the drive rolls; they will start turning when the torch trigger is pressed. 5. 6. If using gas shielded wires, adjust the gas flowmeter to the desired flow rate by closing the gun trigger switch. Turn power source and wire feeder OFF when not in use.

When the wire feeder is connected to the power source, the work lead from the power source is connected to the work piece and the power source is energized, closing the torch trigger will cause the welding wire to become electrically hot and will cause the drive rolls to turn. Keep fingers clear! The brake hub is adjusted when delivered, if readjustment is required, follow the instructions below. Adjust the brake hub so that wire is slightly slack when wire feed stops. Adjusting the braking torque: A. Turn OFF the power source and the wire feeder. B. Release the pressure roll assembly lever and check for the proper drive roll, groove position and wire guides. caution Before threading welding wire, make sure the chisel point and burrs have been removed from the end of the wire to prevent the wire from jamming in the torch liner. • Turn red handle to the unlocked position and pull straight out to remove. • Using a 0.31” (7.9mm) Allen wrench, turn the Nyloc screw clockwise to increase the braking torque. • Using a 0.31” (7.9mm) Allen wrench, turn the Nyloc screw counterclockwise to reduce the braking torque. C. Feed the wire from the spool through the inlet guide along the drive roll groove and into the outlet guide tube. D. Lower the pressure roll assembly and adjust the drive roll pressure to assure no wire slippage, but not too tight to create excess pressure. E. Turn ON the power source and the wire feeder. Close the torch trigger to feed wire through the torch. NYLOC SCREW RED HANDLE 25 SECTION 2 26 INSTALLATION SECTION 3 OPERATION 3.1 CONTROLS 3.1.1 POWER SWITCH The ON-OFF switch on the front of the wire feeder case energizes the wire feeder when the feeder is connected to the power source and the work piece, and the power source is turned ON with the contactor closed. 3.1.3 WIRE FEED SPEED (CONSTANT SPEED) The MobileFeed 200 AVS can be switched to a “Non” Voltage Control Mode where the wire feed speed remains relatively constant and will not change speed with changes in arc voltage. Locate switch SW1 on the PC board and position S1 and S2. See Figure 3-2 and Table 3.1. 3.1.2 WIRE FEED SPEED (ARC VOLTAGE CONTROL) The wire feed speed is controlled by the wire feed speed dial on the front of the wire feeder case. When connected to a constant voltage (cv) type power source, the wire feed speed dial controls the welding current. Turning the dial clockwise increases welding current; turning it counterclockwise decreases welding current. SW1 Position S1 - open Position S2 - closed When connected to a constant current (cc) type power source, the wire feed speed dial controls the arc voltage. Turning the wire feed speed dial clockwise decreases arc voltage; turning it counterclockwise increases arc voltage. The actual wire feed speed for any given setting varies with the arc voltage. Increasing arc voltage causes an increase in wire feed speed. Figure 3.2 (Factory settings are as follows: S1 - closed, S2 - open) The MobileFeed 200 AVS wire feeder is equipped with automatic “Slow wire run-in”. If the wire feeder senses that the power source output voltage is in excess of 33 volts, the “run-in” wire speed automatically decreases for a fixed period of time (250ms) to improve arc starts. When the arc is established, the wire feed speed is controlled by the wire feed speed control knob on the MobileFeed front panel. 3.1.4 5 amp CIRCUIT BREAKER (CB1) This resettable 5 amp circuit breaker, in series with motor armature, protects the control board from damage if the motor is stalled.

Therefore, “slow run-in” of the wire is automatically enabled if OCV exceeds 33 volts to provide good and reliable arc starting. The arc length during welding is determined by a combination of the wire feed speed knob position (MobileFeed feeder front panel) and the weld “Current” setting on the CC power source. When a good welding condition is achieved, the arc length will be maintained by changes in wire feed speed provided by arc voltage control. Variables causing changes in arc voltage, for example, wire “stick-out”, wire density or shielding variations, will cause the wire feed speed to compensate to maintain the arc length preset. Alternate Setting - Constant Voltage Operation ( “Constant Wire Feed Speed” ) In this operation mode the feeder is ready for connection to “ Constant Voltage “ power source which is typically used for most GMAW (MIG/MAG) welding. CV power sources provide high short circuit currents for good arc starting and wire burn-off. “Slow run-in” of the wire is automatically disabled. The arc length while welding is determined by a combination of the wire feed speed knob position (MobileFeed feeder front panel) and the weld “Voltage” setting on the CV power source. When a good welding condition is achieved, the arc length will be maintained by the power source and the wire feed speed will remain constant. Any variations in wire “stick-out”, wire density or shielding variations, could cause the arc length (arc voltage) variations. The DIP switches are located on the control PCB. NOTE: If both switches are placed in the OPEN (Off ) position the wire feed motor is disabled and the motor will NOT run. 28 SECTION 3 OPERATION 3.2 OPERATING PROCEDURES 3.2.1 OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Comply with all ventilation, fire and other safety requirements for arc welding as established in the SAFETY Section at the front of this manual. G. Whenever the equipment is left unattended, turn OFF all control power, power supply switches and gas supplies. Open the main line switch. H. Wear dark substantial clothing to protect exposed skin from arc burn, sparks and flying hot metal. I. Turn off welding power before adjusting or replacing electrodes. A. Because of the radiant energy of the welding arc and the possibility of drawing an arc before the helmet is lowered over the face, the operator should wear flash goggles with filter lenses under his helmet. The helmet filter plate should be shade number 11 (nonferrous) or 12 (ferrous). All those viewing the arc should use helmets with filter plates, as well as flash goggles. Nearby personnel should wear flash goggles. B. The radiant energy of the arc can decompose chlorinated solvent vapors, such as trichloroethane and perchlorethylene, to form phosgene, even when these vapors are present in low concentrations. DO NOT weld where chlorinated solvents are present in atmospheres in or around the arc. C. DO NOT touch the electrode, contact tip or metal parts when power is ON: all are electrically energized (HOT) and can cause a possibly fatal shock. DO NOT allow electrode to touch grounded metal. It will create an arc flash that can injure eyes. It may also start a fire or cause other damage. D. When working in a confined space, be sure it is safe to enter. The confined space should be tested for adequate oxygen (at least 19%) with an approved oxygen measuring instrument. The confined space should not contain toxic concentrations of fumes or gases. If this cannot be determined, the operator should wear an approved air supplied breathing apparatus. Avoid gas leaks in a confined space, as the leaked gas can dangerously reduce oxygen concentration in the breathing air. DO NOT bring gas cylinders into confined spaces. When leaving a confined space, shut OFF gas supply at the source to prevent gas from leaking into the space. Check the breathing atmosphere in the confined space to be sure it is safe to reenter. E. Never operate the equipment at currents greater than the rated ampere capacity. Overheating will occur. F. Never operate equipment in a damp or wet area without suitable insulation for protection against shock. Keep hands, feet and clothing dry at all times. WARNING When the power switch is ON, and torch trigger is depressed, the electrode wire becomes electrically hot and the wire feed rolls are activated. Do not touch the wire as it may cause a possibly fatal shock. Unless welding, do not allow wire to touch a grounded metal surface as it will cause an arc flash. Keep clear of feed rolls and drive gears. WARNING Prior to welding, it is imperative that proper protective clothing (welding coat and gloves) and eye protection (glasses and/or welding helmet) be put on. Failure to comply may result in serious injury caution Do not terminate the arc by removing the torch from the weld area. Release the torch trigger to stop welding before removing the torch. WARNING Failure to shut OFF shield gas in a confined space may result in a build-up of fumes, displacing oxygen. 29 SECTION 3 OPERATION 3.3 SETTING A WELDING PROCEDURE QUICK SET-UP PROCEDURE 1. 2. 3.

OPERATION MobileFeed 200 WITH CONSTANT VOLTAGE Power Sources Using the table, select the weld CURRENT / VOLTAGE needed for the wire type and diameter to be welded. Set the power supply CURRENT using the current control knob on the front panel of the power source. Read the WIRE FEED SPEED (WFS) at the top of the column for the wire type, diameter and weld VOLTAGE / CURRENT chosen. Use the VOLTAGE and WFS in the WFS Table to determine the MobileFeed wire feed knob position. Strike an arc then trim the arc length as needed using the VOLTS / WFS knob. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Using the table, select the weld VOLTAGE / CURRENT needed for the wire type and diameter to be welded. Set the power supply VOLTAGE using the voltage control knob on the front panel of the power source. Read the WIRE FEED SPEED (WFS) at the top of the column for the wire type, diameter and weld VOLTAGE / CURRENT chosen. Use the VOLTAGE and WFS in the WFS Table to determine the MobileFeed wire feed knob position. Strike an arc then trim the arc length as needed using the VOLTS / WFS knob. NOTE Using the “Constant Feed” dip switch settings when using a CC power source is NOT RECOMMENDED. Extreme wire feed speed sensitivity exists making it difficult to set stable welding condition. The arc stability is very dependant on maintaining constant TTW distance which is almost impossible to control when welding manually. “Constant Speed” settings is only recommended for use with CV power sources. Typical welding voltages for 5000 Aluminum are between 21 and 25 volts which limits the wire feed speed of the MobileFeed especially if trying to weld with 035” diameter 5356 alloy. Welding with wire diameters ≤3/64” and/or below 22 arc volts could cause problems with limited wire feed speed and the inability to achieve a good welding condition.

Therefore, an extra 3 to 6 volts should be added to the power source front panel setting to achieve the “actual” arc voltage needed or shown in the tables. 3.4 SHUTDOWN A. Release torch trigger to break the arc. B. When leaving the equipment unattended, always shut OFF and disconnect all power to the equipment and shut off the shielding gas supply at source. 31 SECTION 3 32 OPERATION SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE 4.1 MAINTENANCE WARNING Be sure the branch circuit or main disconnect switch is OFF or electrical input circuit fuses are removed from the power source main supply before attempting any inspection or work on the inside of the wire feeder. Placing the power switch on the welding machine in the OFF position does not remove all power from inside of the equipment. Keep power cables dry, free of oil and grease, and protected at all times from damage by hot metal and sparks. Clean dirt and metal particles from drive roll groove weekly; replace roll if badly worn. 4.2.1 WIRE FEEDER When soft wire is fed, the drive rolls may pick up metal from the wire surface. Accumulation on the rolls may score the wire with resulting unwanted friction and improper feeding. WARNING Inspection, troubleshooting, and repair of this equipment should be undertaken by a competent individual having at least general experience in the maintenance and repair of semi-conductor electronic equipment. Maintenance or repair should not be undertaken by anyone not having such qualifications. Inspect the rolls regularly and clean them with a fine-wire power brush. Avoid roughening, or removing the hardness of groove surfaces in grooved rolls. Any roughening may score the wire, just as the accumulation being removed may do. As an aid in checking and servicing, refer to the following pages; Schematic Diagram and/or Wiring Diagram. 4.2.2 SOLENOID VALVE REPLACEMENT If there is no gas flow through the wire feeder, the gas solenoid valve may be clogged or electrically malfunctioning and it should be replaced. When replacing the gas solenoid valve, the inlet (with the word IN) must face the rear of the unit. 4.2 INSPECTION AND SERVICE Keep equipment in clean and safe operating condition, free of oil, grease, and (in electrical parts) liquid and metallic particles which can cause short-circuits. 4.2.3 GENERAL REPLACEMENT The views in the Parts Section indicate wire drive and feeder parts. Regularly check cylinder valves, regulators, hoses, and gas connections for leaks with soap solution. Check for and tighten loose hardware including electrical connections. Loose power connections overheat during welding. Immediately replace all worn or damaged power cables and connectors. Check for frayed and cracked insulation, particularly in areas where conductors enter Equipment. The electrode wire and all metal parts in contact with it are electrically energized while welding. Inspect these parts periodically for defective insulation and other electrical hazards. WARNING If uninsulated cable and parts are not replaced, an arc caused by a bared cable or part touching a grounded surface may damage unprotected eyes or start a fire. Body contact with a bared cable, connector, or uncovered conductor can shock, possibly fatally. 33 SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE 4.3 TROUBLESHOOTING If welding equipment does not work properly, inspect as follows: WARNING A. With all power controls ON and other operating controls at required settings, visually check all power cables and connections for evidence of overheating or sparking. Many troubleshooting situations require that the power remain on and that power terminals in the equipment carry voltage. Exercise extreme caution when working on “live” equipment. Avoid contact with electrical components, except when testing with an appropriate instrument. WARNING caution To avoid shock, do not touch electrode wire or parts in contact with it, or uninsulated cable or connections. B. Check all gas hoses and connections, flowmeters, and regulators for possible sources of leakage, breakdown, or intermittent failure. C. Isolate trouble to one part of the welding installation: primary power supply, power source, wire feeder, or wire guide train (casing, drive rolls, liners, and contact tip).
