ADVICE & THERMAL PROTECTION
Always respect the basic rules of welding.
Do not block/cover the ventilation holes of the machine.
Leave the device plugged in after welding to allow it to cool.
Thermal protection: If the machine becomes too hot, the warning light will illuminate and the machine will
stop. The cooling time will be a few minutes; length of time will also depend on the external temperature.
DUTY CYCLE & WELDING ENVIRONMENT IN USE
The welding unit describes an output characteristic of "constant current" type. The duty cycles following the
standard EN60974-1 (at 40°C on a 10mn cycle) are indicated in the following table:
X / 60974-1 @ 40°C
(T cycle = 10 min)
Monogys 160-2S / 185-2S
Monogys 200-2CS
Monogys 250-4CS
Note: The machines' duty cycle has been tested at room temperature (40°C) and has been determined by
simulation.
This is a A-class device. It is designed to be used in an industrial or professional environment. In a
different environment, it can be difficult to ensure electromagnetic compatibility, due to conducted
disturbances as well as radiation. This device complies with IEC 61000-3-12.
MAINTENANCE / ADVICE
Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified person.
Ensure the machine is unplugged, and that the ventilator inside has stopped before carrying out maintenance
work. (DANGER High Voltage and Currents).
GYS recommends removing the steel cover 2 or 3 times a year to remove any excess dust. Take this opportunity
to have the electrical connections checked by a qualified person with an insulated tool.
Regularly check the condition of the power supply cable. If damaged, it will need to be replaced by the
manufacturer, its' after sales service or a qualified person.
SAFETY
Arc welding can be dangerous and can cause serious and even fatal injuries.
Protect yourself and others. Ensure the following safety precautions are taken:
Arc radiation
Rain, steam, damp
Electric shock
Falls
Burns
Fire risks

Protect yourself with a helmet fitted with filters in compliance with EN169 or EN 379.
Use your welding unit in a clean/dry environment (pollution factor ≤ 3), on a flat surface,
and more than one meter from the welding work-piece. Do not use in rain or snow.
This device must only be used with an earthed power supply. Do not touch the parts
under high voltage. Check that the power supply is suitable for this unit.
Do not place/carry the unit over people or objects
Wear protective (fire-proof) clothing (cotton, overalls or jeans).
Wear protective gloves and a fire-proof apron.
Ensure other people keep a safe distance from the work area and do not look directly at
the welding arc.
Protect others by installing fire-proof protection walls.
Remove all flammable products from the work area. Do not work in presence of
flammable gases.
