BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF THE PRINCIPLE

The argon arc welding series is an inverter welding machine which is manufactured with advanced inverter technology. It is a more mature and stable product series. It uses pulse width modulation technology (PWM) and high-power switching device IGBT to rectify the 50Hz/60Hz power frequency into direct current, and then invert it to high frequency (the frequency can reach above 100KHz) and then step-down rectification. Through the pulse width modulation technology (PWM) output, it can be used as high-power DC power supply for welding. Due to the switching power supply inverter technology, the weight and volume of the welding machine are greatly reduced, and the conversion efficiency of the whole machine is increased by more than 30%.
When used as manual arc welding, the welder has constant current characteristics and is arc thrust control. That is, it has a constant current characteristic under normal arc voltage. So the welding current does not change with the arc length to ensure stable welding. When the arc length is too short and the arc voltage is too low, the current can increase with the decrease of the arc voltage. In order to promote the automatic recovery of the arc length (the so-called arc thrust), the thrust is independently adjustable.
When the arc voltage is too small to maintain the arc, the external characteristic changes to a steep drop characteristic to avoid excessive current caused by a short circuit.
The external characteristic of argon arc welding is constant current, so the welding current does not change with the arc length, and the current is very stable.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

When using a longer output cable, in order to reduce the voltage drop, it is recommended to use a cable with a larger cross-section. If the welding torch cable is too long, its internal resistance will reduce the output voltage of the equipment, which may have a greater impact on the welding machine’s performance.
The performance of high frequency arc is weakened or the system can not work normally. So we suggest that you use the recommended length of cable.
CONNECT WIRING

1. Connection of input cable
   • Each TIG welding machine is equipped with a power supply cable. It is used to connect to power supply of required voltage input.
   • The power supply cable should be well connected with the power switch or the cable connector to avoid possible oxidization.
   • Use multi-meter to check whether the voltage changes within the given range.

2. Connection of output cable (Pure) Argon arc welding (TIG)
   • Connection of the argon arc welding torch. Install the gas-electric integrated connector of the welding torch to the corresponding interface on the welding machine panel, and tighten it by turning clockwise.
   • Install the aviation plug to the corresponding interface on the welding machine panel, and tighten it by turning clockwise. • Insert the quick plug of the cycle cable into the quick socket with the polarity “+” on the welding machine panel, and tighten it by turning clockwise. Then clamp the work piece with the ground wire.

Connect to the gas
Connect the argon gas pipe tightly with the copper nozzle at the back of the machine. The air supply path should include a gas cylinder, an argon decompression flow meter and a trachea. The connecting part of the trachea should be fastened with hose clamps or other objects to prevent leakage and air ingress. These operations will affect the protection effect of the solder joints.
Use a wire with a conductive cross-sectional area of not less than 4mm2 to ground the chassis. The method is to connect a wire to the ground from the ground screw on the back of the welder to prevent static electricity or leakage.
MMA and TIG function
Connect as above during argon welding(TIG). When MMA welding, pay attention to the following.

• Each welding machine is equipped with a pair of quick plugs. Connect the electrode holder cable to the “2 quick plug, and the earth clamp cable to the “+” quick plug. Pay attention to tighten them with an inner hexagonal wrench. Make the secondary cable (holder wire and earth wire) in good contact with the quick plug. Some welders neglected this and burned the quick plug.
• After inserting the quick plug into the quick socket, tighten it to ensure good contact. Otherwise, when the working current is high, the plug and socket will be burnt out after long-time work.

Clean function

• Connect the cleaning gun correctly. Install the connector of the cleaning gun to the corresponding gun interface on the welding machine panel, and tighten it by turning clockwise.
• Insert the quick plug of the earth cable into the quick socket with the polarity of “+” on the welding machine panel, and tighten it by turning clockwise. Clamp the work piece with the earth clamp at the other end.

Serious attention should be paid to the electrode of the wire. Generally, DC welding equipment has two connection modes:

• Positive connection : connect electrode holder to “-“, while connect work piece to “+” ;
• Negative connection : connect work piece to “2, while connect electrode holder to “+”.

POSSIBLE PROBLEMS

The phenomena listed here may be related to the accessories, gases, environmental factors, and power supply conditions. Please try to improve the environment to avoid this situations.
Black solder joints
Such cases indicate that the solder joints are not effectively protected and are oxidized. You can perform the following checks. • Confirm that the valve of the argon cylinder is open and the pressure is sufficient. If the pressure in the cylinder is lower than 0.5MPa, refill the cylinder.

• Check whether the argon flow is connected and has sufficient flow. To save gas, different flow rates may be selected for different welding current conditions. But too slow flow rate may result in insufficient shielding gas which can cover the solder joints. No matter how small the current is, we recommend that you do not make the argon flow rate lower than 5L/min.
• The simplest way to check whether there is gas out is to feel the nozzle of the welding torch, so as to check whether the gas path of the welding torch is blocked.
• Poor gas sealing or low gas purity will also cause welding quality problems.
• If there is strong air flow in the environment, it may also lead to the deterioration of welding quality.
• The duty cycle is too low.

It is difficult to start the arc, and it is easy to break the arc:

• Make sure the tungsten electrodes you use are of good quality. The discharge capacity of inferior tungsten electrode may not meet the requirement.
• Unsharpened tungsten electrode is not easy to arc and may cause arc instability.

The current cannot remain stable during the use of the welding machine:
This situation may be related to the following factors:

• The grid voltage variation.
• Serious interference from the power grid or other electrical equipment.

CAUTION

Environment

• The welding operation should be carried out in a relatively dry environment, and the air humidity generally does not exceed 90%.
• The ambient temperature should be between -10°C to 40°C.
• Avoid welding in the sun or rain, and don’t let water or rain seep into the welding machine.
• Avoid welding in dusty or corrosive gas environment.
• Avoid gas shielded welding in strong airflow conditions.

Safety points
The TIG welding machine has been installed with over voltage, over current and over heating protection circuits. When the grid voltage, output current or internal temperature exceeds the set standard, the welding machine will automatically stop working. However, overuse (such as excessive voltage) will still cause damage to the welding machine. Therefore, the following points need to be noted.
Ensure good ventilation
This welding machine is an industrial welding machine. Large working current will be generated during operation, and natural ventilation cannot meet the cooling requirements. Therefore, two fans are installed inside, which can effectively cool the welder and make it work smoothly.
Users should ensure that ventilation areas are not covered or blocked. The distance between the welder and the surrounding objects should not be less than 0.3 meters. Users should always pay attention to maintain good ventilation, because this is conducive to the operation of the welder.
Prohibit overload
The user should remember to observe the maximum allowable load current (relative to the selectable load duration) at any time to keep the welding current not exceeding the maximum allowable load current. Current overload will significantly shorten the service life of the welding machine, and may even burn out the welding machine.
Prohibit over voltage
The power supply voltage is listed in the “Main Performance Parameters” table. Under normal circumstances, the automatic voltage compensation circuit in the welding machine will keep the welding current within the allowable range. If the power supply voltage exceeds the allowable value, the welding machine will be damaged. The user should be fully aware of this situation and take corresponding preventive measures.

• On the back of each welder there are grounding screws and corresponding grounding marks. Cables with a cross section larger than 4 mm square should be selected before use. Ground the welder shell to prevent accidents caused by static electricity or leakage.
• If the welder is operating at more than the standard load continuity rate, the welder may suddenly enter a protected state and stop working. It means that the overheating triggers the temperature control switch, so the welding machine stops working. The red indicator on the front panel would lights up. In this case, there is no need to unplug because the cooling fan can work to cool the welder. When the red indicator light goes off, the temperature drops to the standard range, and you can restart welding.

MAINTENANCE

• Safety warning: All maintenance and repair work must be carried out with the power completely cut off. Please make sure that the power plug is removed before open up the machine.
• Regularly check the internal circuit connection of the welding machine to make sure the wiring is correct and the joint is firm (especially the inserted joint or component). If any rust or loose components are found, polish off the rusty layer or oxide film with sandpaper and tighten it again.
• When the machine is energized, keep your hands, hair and tools away from the live parts in the machine, such as internal fans. Avoid being injured or damaged by the machine.
• Regularly blow dust away with dry, clean compressed air. If the welding machine is used in heavy smoke, serious air pollution environment, the welding machine should be dusted every day.
• The compressed air pressure should be at a reasonable level to avoid damaging the small parts in the welder.
• Prevent water or vapor from entering the welding machine. If this happens, dry the inside of the welder. Subsequently, use a meter to measure the insulation of the welding machine (the insulation between the connecting nodes and the insulation between the connecting points and the casing). Only when there is no abnormal condition can we continue the welding work.
• If the welder is not used for a long time, the welder should be put back into the original packaging box and stored in a dry environment.
