• This class A device is not intended for use in residential areas where electrical power is supplied from a low-voltage power supply. There may be potential difficulties in providing electromagnetic compatibility due to radio frequency interference transmitted and emitted in such places.
• This device is not compliant with IEC 61000 -3-12. In case if it is desired to be connected to the low voltage network used in the home, the installer to make the electrical connection or the person who will use the machine must be aware that the machine has been connected in such a manner; in this case the responsibility belongs to the user.
• Make sure that the work area complies with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Electromagnetic interferences during welding / cutting operations may cause undesired effects on your electronic devices and network; and the effects of these interferences that may occur during these operations are under the responsibility of the user.
• If there is any interference, to ensure compliance; extra measures may be taken, such as the use of short cables, use of shielded (armored) cables, transportation of the welding machine to another location, removal of cables from the affected device and / or area, use of filters or taking the work area under protection in terms of EMC.
• To avoid possible EMC damage, make sure to perform your welding / cutting operations as far away from your sensitive electronic devices as possible (100 m).
• Ensure that your welding and/or cutting machine has been installed and situated in its place according to the user manual.

Evaluation Of Electromagnetic Suitability Of The Work Area
According to article 5.2 of IEC 60974-9;
Before installing the welding / cutting equipment, the person in charge of the operation and / or the user must conduct an inspection of possible electromagnetic interference in the environment. Aspects indicated below has to be taken into consideration;

• a) Other supply cables, control cables, signal and telephone cables, above and below the welding / cutting machine and its equipment,
• b) Radio and television transmitters and receivers,
• c) Computer and other control hardware,
• d) Critical safety equipment, e.g. protection of industrial equipment,
• e) Medical apparatus for people in the vicinity, e.g. pacemakers and hearing aids,
• f) Equipment used for measuring or calibration,
• g) Immunity of other equipment in the environment. The user must ensure that the other equipment in use in the environment is compatible. This may require additional protection measures.
• h) Considering the time during which the welding / cutting operations or other activities take place during the day, the boundaries of the investigation area can be expanded according to the size of the building, the structure of the building and other activities that are being performed in the building.

In addition to the evaluation of the field, evaluation of device installations may also be necessary for solving the interfering effect. In case if deemed necessary, on-site measurements can also be used to confirm the efficiency of mitigation measures. (Source: IEC 60974-9).

Electromagnetic Interferance Reduction Methods

• The appliance must be connected to the electricity supply in the recommended manner by a competent person. If interference occurs, additional measures may be applied, such as filtering the network. The supply of the fixed-mounted arc welding equipment must be made in a metal tube or with an equivalent shielded cable. The housing of the power supply must be connected and a good electrical contact between these two structures has to be provided.
• The recommended routine maintenance of the appliance must be carried out. All covers on the body of the machine must be closed and / or locked when the device is in use. Any changes, other than the standard settings without the written approval of the manufacturer, cannot be modified on the appliance. Otherwise, the user is responsible for any consequences that may possibly occur.
• Welding / cutting cables should be kept as short as possible. They must move along the floor of the work area, in a side by side manner. Welding / cutting cables should not be wound in any way.
• A magnetic field is generated on the machine during welding / cutting. This may cause the machine to pull metal parts on to itself. To avoid this attraction, make sure that the metal materials are at a safe distance or fixed. The operator must be insulated from all these interconnected metal materials.
• In cases where the workpiece cannot be connected to the ground due to electrical safety, or because of its size and position (for example, in building marine vessel bodies or in steel construction manufacturing), a connection between the workpiece and the grounding may reduce emissions in some cases, it should be kept in mind that grounding of the workpiece may cause users to sustain injuries or other electrical equipment in the environment to break down. In cases where necessary, the workpiece and the grounding connection can be made as a direct connection, but in some countries where direct connection is not permissible, the connection can be established using appropriate capacity elements in accordance with local regulations and ordinances.
• Screening and shielding of other devices and cables in the work area can prevent aliasing effects. Screening of the entire welding / cutting area can be evaluated for some specific applications.

Electromagnetic Field (EMF)
The electrical current passing through any conductor generates zonal electric and magnetic fields (EMF). All operators must follow the following procedures to minimize the risk of exposure to EMF;

• In the name of reducing the magnetic field, the welding / cutting cables must be assembled and secured as far as possible with the joining materials (tape, cable ties etc.).
• The operator’s body and head should be kept as far away from the welding / cutting machine and cables as possible,

• The supply cable must comply with the specified fuse value.
• Tighten the ground wire as close as possible to the workpiece. Do not allow the welding current to pass through equipment other than the welding cables such as the machine itself, gas cylinder, chain and roller bearing.
• When the gas cylinder is placed on the machine, secure the gas cylinder by connecting the chain immediately. If you will not place the gas cylinder on the machine, secure the gas cylinder to the wall with a chain.
• The electrical outlet on the back of the machine is for the C02 heater. Never connect a device to the C02 outlet other than the C02 heater!

Mains Plug Connection

For your safety, never use the mains cord of the machine without a plug.

• No plug has been connected to the mains cable since there may different types of outlets available in plants, construction sites and workshops. A suitable plug must be connected by a qualified technican. Make sure that the grounding cable marked with and a yellow / green color is present.
• After connecting the plug to the cable, do not attach it to the outlet at this stage.

Water Cooling Unit (for MW Models)

• Unit the water cooling unit is used to cool the torch It is a closed circuit system consisting of radiator, fan, pump coolant reservoir.
• Connect the cold (blue) water hose to the cold water outlet on the water cooling system, and the hot (red) water hose to the hot water inlet on the water cooling system.
• Magmaweld welding machines come with Magmaweld coolant, which is produced to give the best performance. In case of lack of coolant, open the coolant reservoir cap and add Magmaweld coolant suitable for the temperature of the working environment. The coolant must be within the minimum and maximum values shown on the front panel of the unit.
• Different coolant or water should not be added. Different liquid additives can cause chemical reactions or different problems.
• Magmaweld is not responsible for the risks that may arise in case of adding different liquids. All warranty provisions will be void if different coolant or water is added to the Magmaweld coolant.
• If it is desired to use a different brand of coolant, the inside of the coolant tank should be completely empty and there should be no residue or liquid in it.
• It is not suitable to use the water-cooling units with welding machines other than manufactured by Magma Mekatronik Makine ve Sanayi Ticaret A.Ş. Water cooling units cannot be operated with external supply.
• There are 2 leds in front of the machine: The power led will light as soon as the machine is activated and the water-cooling unit led will light when the water unit is activated.
• As soon as the machine starts welding, the water circulation will start and after the welding is completed, the water-cooling unit led will remain on during the time set in the menu. In case of any air inlet or problem, the water will not be recirculated.

Dirty and lime (hard) waters reduce the operating life of the torch and the pump.
If the coolant is below the minimum value, there is a possibility of damage and malfunction for the pump and torch.

Connection of Interconnection Hose Package

• For easy transport of machines with hose package of 10 meters or longer, the wire feed unit and the interim package have been designed to be detachable. Both ends of the long hose packages are the same and the connections on the machine front must be made with the connectors and sockets on the back of the wire feeder.
• If interconnection hose package is 10 meters or longer, connect the wire feed unit with the hose package as follows.

Connecting the Gas Cylinder

• Use regulators and heaters that comply with international standards to work safely and achieve the best results. Make sure the size of the hose connection of the gas regulator you are using is 3/8 .
• Open the gas cylinder valve, keeping your head and face away from the outlet of the valve and keep it open for 5 seconds. By this means, possible sediment and impurities will be discharged.
• If the CO2 heater is to be used, first connect the CO2 heater to the gas cylinder. After connecting the gas regulator to the CO2 heater, insert the plug of the CO2 heater into the CO2 heater outlet on the back of the machine.
• If the CO2 heater will not be used, connect the gas regulator directly to the gas cylinder.
• Connect one end of the tube hose to the gas regulator and tighten the clamp. Connect the other end to the gas inlet at the back of the machine and tighten the nut.
• Open the gas cylinder valve to check that the tube is full and that there are no leaks in the gas flow path. If you hear a noise and/or detect a smell of gas as a leak indicator, examine your connections and eliminate leakage.

OPERATION

User Interface

Connection to Mains
Check the mains voltage before connecting the machine to the mains. When inserting the plug into the mains socket, ensure that on/off switch is in the “O” position.

• Start the machine with the on/off switch.
• Turn the machine off by turning the on / off switch back to off after hearing the fan noise and seeing the mains lamp is illuminated.

Placing The Wire Spool And Wire Feeding Process

• Unscrew the screw of the wire transport system by turning it. Slide the welding wire roller onto the wire carrier system shaft and re-tighten the screw.
• Tightening the screw of the wire transport system prevents the wire from being fed and may cause failures. If the screw has not been tightened adequately this can cause the wire spool to empty after a period of time when the wire feed has stopped. For this reason, do not connect the screw too tightly or too loosely.
• Pull and lower the pressure screw on the wire feed roller, which means bring the pressure rollers to idle position.
• Find and open the welding wire end from the wire spool and cut off the end with a side chisel.

If the end of the wire is missed, the wire can jump like a spring and damage you and others.

• Pass the wire through the wire entry slot without releasing the wire into the rollers and into the torch through the rollers.
• Pull the pressure adjustment screws towards you and release the pressure on the rollers 1.
• Turn the on/off switch to position “1” to start the machine 2.
• Remove the nozzle and the contact nozzle and press the trigger until the wire comes out from the tip of the torch, while observing that the welding wire roller rotates freely then push and release the trigger a few times to check for any loosening of the winding 3.
• Re-attach the nozzle and contact nozzle to the torch when the wire comes out from the tip of the torch 4.
• Drive the wire on a non-insulating material  5 such as wood and make the appropriate wire pressure adjustment  6 and cut the tip of the wire 7.

The following effects will occur if the pressure adjustment screw is overtightened, left loose or if the wrong wire feed roller is used.

• A: Suitable wire pressure and conduit dimensions.
• B: The wire is distorted since the pressure lever is too tight.
• C: The roller surface is deteriorated due to excessive pressure on the pressure lever.
• D: The conduit length of the roller is small for the wire used. Wire form is distorted.
• E: The conduit length of the roller is big for the wire used. The wire cannot be transmitted to the welding area.

Adjustment of Gas Flow
Make the gas adjustment and gas test by lifting the wire feed roller pressure lever!

• Adjust the gas flow with the flow control valve.

• Practical gas flow rate (CO₂, Ar, mixture) is 10 times of wire diameter.
  For example, if the wire diameter is 0.9 mm, the gas flow rate can be adjusted as 10 x 0.9 = 9 l / min.

• You can use the table on the side for more precise flow adjustment.

• After adjusting the gas flow, lift the thrust bearing arm and close the wire feed unit door.

Remote Control

Starting and Ending the Welding Process

• Determine the Coarse Adjustment “, Fine Adjustment” and Wire Feed Speed from the welding parameters table of your machine according to the diameter of the wire you will use, the type of gas you will use and the thickness of the material to be welded, and set your machine to these settings.
• You can start welding after making sure that you comply with all safety rules and take the necessary precautions.
• During welding, instantaneous welding voltage will be displayed in voltmeter and instantaneous welding current will be displayed in ammeter.
• When not welding, leave the torch in such a way that it does not touch the workpiece, the welding pliers, the hood of the machine and the trigger does not remain pressed.
• After you have finished working with the welding machine, allow the machine to cool down and turn the on / off switch to “0”. Unplug the machine and close the gas cylinder

• The welding parameters were obtained by horizontal welding with solid wire in laboratory conditions. Values may vary depending on the application and ambient conditions.

Machine Features

• 24-V Heater Output
  • With 24 Volt heater output, it ensures the prevention of the transformer failures whereas safety requirements are met.
• Smart Fan Control
  • The fan will not operate when the machine is in idle position with the smart fan control. The fan is activated when the machine reaches a certain temperature. This saves energy and reduces iron dust entering the machine.
• Smart Thermal Control
  • Smart thermal control ensures digital thermal control and fan control accordingly.
• Parameter Setting with Digital Interface
  • The parameters such as the initial gas, final gas, burn back control are easily adjusted via the digital interface.
• Magnet Compatibility
  • Source and media information is stored in real time form thanks to its magNET-ready structure. Some values can be read on the LCD panel on the machine front, while other information (Original Equipment Activity-OEE, Welding Parameters-WR, Quality, etc.) can be stored and monitored or reported on the magNET platform. (Optional)
• Operation with generators
  • Suitable for operation with generators. The kVA operating value should be determined by referring to the technical specifications.
• Voltage Protection
  • If the mains voltage is too high or too low, the machine automatically protects itself by giving an error code on the display. By this means, no damage is caused to the machine components and long life of the machine is ensured. After the ambient conditions have returned to normal, the machine functions will also be activated.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

• Maintenance and repairs to the machine must be carried out by a qualified personnel. Our company will not be responsible for any accidents that may occur by unauthorized interventions.
• Parts that will be used during repair can be obtained from our authorized services. The use of original spare parts will extend the life of your machine and prevent performance losses.
• Always contact the manufacturer or an authorized service designated by the manufacturer.
• Never make interventions yourself. In this case the macufacturer warranty is no langer valid.
• Always comply with the applicable safety regulations during maintenance and repair.
• Before performing any work on the machine for repair, disconnect the machine’s power plug from the power supply and wait for 10 seconds for the capacitors to discharge.

Maintenance

• Every 3 Months
  • Do not remove the warning labels on the device. Replace the worn/torn labels with the new ones. Labels can be obtained from the authorized service.
  • Check your torch, clamps and cables. Pay attention to the connections and the durableness of the parts. Replace the damaged/defective parts with the new ones. Do not ever make additions to/repair the cables.
  • Ensure adequate space for ventilation.
  • Before starting welding, check the gas flow rate from the tip of the torch with a flow meter. If the gas flow is high or low, bring it to the appropriate level for the welding process.
• Every 6 Months
  • Clean and tighten fasteners such as bolts and nuts.
  • Check the lead of the electrode pliers and earth pliers.
  • Open the side covers of the machine and clean with low pressure dry air. Do not apply compressed air to electronic components at close range.
  • Periodically replace the water in the tank of the water cooling unit with fresh, hard water and protect it against freezing with antifreeze.
• NOTE: The above mentioned periods are the maximum ones that should be applied if no problems are encountered in your device. Depending on the work load and contamination of your work environment, you can repeat the above processes more frequently.
• Never operate the machine when covers are open.

Non-Periodic Maintenance

• The Wire Feeding Mechanism must be kept clean and the roller surfaces must not be lubricated.
• Always remove any deposits on the mechanism with dry air each time you replace a welding wire.
• The consumables on the torch should be cleaned regularly. It should be replaced if necessary. Make sure that these materials are original products for long-term use.
