2. Pedal-Operated Remote Control:
this mode is especially useful in combination with pedals
equipped with a microswitch with a trigger function. This
selection involves inhibition of the up and down slopes.
Welding current can be adjusted with the pedal between
the minimum value and the panel setting.
The microswitch in the control pedal means you can start welding
by simply pressing the pedal, i.e. without using the TIG torch but-
ton. To use this peripheral device properly and comfortably selec-
tion of "four stroke" mode is recommended.
NOTE: IN THIS MODE, WHEN THE WELDING PROCESS IS
NOT ACTIVE, USING THE REMOTE CONTROL (PEDAL) WILL
PRODUCE NO CHANGE IN THE CURRENT INDICATED ON
THE DISPLAY.

10.0 ADAPTER FOR TIG TORCH

If you use a TIG torch with banana connector, you can assembly
on the generator the adapter (Ref. A - Picture 3 Page 9.) that you
find in the box.
Picture 3.
To assembly it you can follow the below procedure:
1. Remove by screwdriver the screws on the front side of ma-
chine (see - Picture 4 Page 9.)
Picture 4.
TYPES OF MALFUNCTIONING
WELDING FAULTS
The generator does not weld: the digital switch
is not lit.
During welding suddenly the outgoing current is
interrupted, the the orange led goes on.
Welding power reduced.
Excessive jets.
Craters.
Inclusions.
Inadequate penetration.
Sticking.
Blowing and porosity.
Jacks.
The electrode fuses in TIG.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
A) The main switch is off.
B) The power lead is interrupted (lack of one or two
phases).
C) Other.
Overheating has occurred and the automatic pro-
tection has come on. (See work cycles).
Outgoing wires are not correctly attached.
A phase is missing.
Welding arch too long.
Welding current too high.
Fast removal of the electrodes.
Inadequate cleaning and bad distribution of coat-
ing.
Faulty movement of the electrodes.
Forward speed too high. Welding current too low.
Welding arch too short.
Current too low.
Damp electrodes. Arch too long. Wrong torch po-
larity.
Currents too high. Dirty materials.
Wrong torch polarity. Type of gas not suitable.
2. Disconnect the connector A from connector B (Ref. A, B - Pic-
ture 5 Page 9.);
Picture 5.

3. Connect the connector C to connector B;
4. To be sure that the connectors are well connected;
5. Assembly the adaptor by screwdriver using the screws that
you removed before.

MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT: DISCONNECT THE POWER PLUG AND WAIT
AT LEAST 5 MINUTES BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAIN-
TENANCE. MAINTENANCE MUST BE CARRIED OUT MORE
FREQUENTLY IN HEAVY OPERATING CONDITIONS.
Carry out the following operations every three (3) months:
- Replace any illegible labels.
- Clean and tighten the welding terminals.
- Replace damaged gas tubing.
- Repair or replace damaged welding cables.
- Have specialized personnel replace the power cable if dam-
aged.
Carry out the following operations every six (6) months:
- Remove any dust inside the generator using a jet of dry air.
- Carry out this operation more frequently when working in
very dusty places.
11.1 TYPES OF MALFUNCTIONING/WELDING FAULTS –
CAUSES – REMEDIES
CONTROLS AND REMEDIES
A) Switch on mains.
B) Verify and repair.
C) Ask for the intervention of the Assistance Centre.
Keep generator switched on and wait till temperature
has dropped again (10-15 minutes) to the point where
the orange switch goes off again.
Check that wires are intact, that the pliers are suffi-
cient and that they are applied to welding surface
clean from rust, paint or oils.
Wrong torch polarity, lower the current values.
Increase current values.
