Output Connections; Controls And Operational Features - Lincoln Electric HOT ROD 500S Manual De Instrucciones

Output Connections

Refer to points [10], [11] and [12] of the images below.
The recommended output cable size can be found in the
Table below:
Cable length Up to 10 m
Cable size 70 mm

Controls and Operational Features

1. Power On/Off Switch: Controls the input power to
the machine
2. Thermal Overload Indicator: This lamp will light up
when the machine is overheated and the output has
been turned off. This can occur if the ambient
temperature is above 55°C or the duty cycle of the
machine has been exceeded. Leave the machine
on to allow the internal components to cool, when
the lamp turns off normal operation is possible.
3. Power Indicator: After input power is connected and
the power switch is turned on, this lamp will light up
to indicate the machine is ready to weld.
4. Digital Welding Current and Voltage Meter with
memory feature (available as an option: see
"Accessories" section): Shows the present value of
the welding current and voltage during welding; after
welding it continues to display the average welding
current and voltage for 5 seconds.
5. Output Current Control: Potentiometer used to set
the output current on the range 50A - 625A (also
during welding).
6. Local/Remote Switch: Remote Control Unit
K10095-1-15M and K870 can be used with this
machine. It changes control of the Output Current
from the machine Output Control (point 5) to the
K10095-1-15M or K870 and vice versa.
7. Arc Force Control: It is a function used during stick
(MMA) welding in which the output current is
temporarily increased to clear short circuit
connections between the electrode and the weld
puddle that occur during normal welding.
8. Hot Start Control: Hot Start is a temporary increase
in the output current during the start of stick (MMA)

welding that helps ignite the arc quickly and reliably.
The potentiometer is used to set the level of the
increased current.
9. Output Current Control Range Switch: It allows
selection of the desired welding current range:

LOW range (50A - 320A)

HIGH range (50A - 625A).

10. Remote Control Connection: If a remote control is
used, it will be connected to the remote connector
(see "Accessories" section).
11. Positive Output Terminal: Positive output connector
for the welding circuit (M12 bolt).
12. Negative Output Terminal: Negative output
connector for the welding circuit (M12 bolt).
13. Rear Access Panel Cover: Remove to install the
reconnect panel for the proper input voltage
(3x380V or 3x415V).
Input Cable (5m): Connect the supply plug to the
14.
existing input cable that is rated for the machine as
indicated in this manual, and conforms to all
applicable standards. This connection shall be
performed only by a qualified person.
Stick Welding (MMA)
For starting welding process with MMA method you
should:

Insert welding cable plugs into output sockets and
twist to lock them in place.

Connect the work cable to the welding piece with
the work clamp.

Fasten a correct coated electrode into the electrode
holder.

Connect the main plug to the outlet mains socket.

Set the Local/Remote Switch in required position:
local or remote.

Turn the Power on/off Switch on.

Set the required welding current by knob of the
Output Current Control.

Obeying appropriate rules you can begin to weld.
