clarification is required. It must be kept for the
machine's entire operational life-span. Refer to the
wiring diagram and parts manual when ordering
parts.

INSTALLATION
This equipment must be used solely for welding
operations.
It is essential to pay especially close attention to
the chapter on SAFETY PRECAUTIONS in the
instruction manual, section 1.
The equipment must be installed by qualified
personnel.
All connections must be carried out in compliance
with current standards and in full observance of
current safety laws.
2.1 Assembly (fig. 2)
Place the wire feeder in the housing provided on
the robot arm.
Install torch (7) on the robot arm, and connect it to
wire feeder (8).
Connect power source (21) to wire feeder (8) by
means of extension (2).
Make sure that the wire diameter matches the
diameter shown on the roller. To replace the rollers
follow the procedure in section 3.2.
NOTE: Use type "A" rollers for aluminium wires.
Install wire spool (6), insert the wire in sheath (10)
into the wire feeder unit inside wire feeder (8) and
in torch sheath (7). Make sure the welding wire
passes through the roller groove. Lock the wire
press rollers with knobs A and adjust the pressure.
Finish connecting the other welding system
devices,
consulting
the
Manuals in the "Installation" section.
Before connecting the power source supply cable,
make sure the mains voltage matches that of the
power source, and that the earth connection is in
good working order.
Power up the welding system using the power
source main switch (see power source instruction
manual).
Remove the tapered gas nozzle from the torch.
Unscrew the contact tip.
Press the BC (wire feed) button on the wire feeder
front panel (8) and release it only when the wire
emerges from the torch.
ATTENTION!
Welding
puncture wounds. Never aim the torch at parts
of the body when installing the welding
electrode.

cause
Tighten the contact tip, making sure that the hole
diameter matches that of the wire used. Replace
the tapered welding gas nozzle.
2.2 Replacing the rollers (Fig. 3).
Release and lift pressure adjustment knobs A; wire
press rollers B will lift up.
Turn locks C, withdraw rollers E. Fit new rollers
and carry out the operations described above in
reverse order.

2.3 Preparing CAN-1 communication line.
The CAN-1 must be configured based on system
composition; in particular, line termination
resistors must be inserted in the devices located
at line ends. In most applications, the wire
feeder is a communication line terminal node
and the bus termination is therefore inserted.
2.3.1
CAN-1 on wire feeder
This configuration is set up using DIP1 on the wire
feeder motor control board; DIP1 is normally
already set to ON as its factory configuration.
DIP1-1 = DIP1-2 = OFF
DIP1-1 = DIP1-2 = ON
(factory settings).
NOTE: sections 1 and 2 of DIP1 must always be
in the same position (both ON or both OFF).
2.4 Wire feeder enablement
Connect the wire feeder to the WinTig series
power source as indicated in section 3.1.
