EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
• Put the machine on the floor (maximum incline of 10°.)
• Ensure the work area has sufficient ventillation for welding, and that there is easy access to the control panel.
• The machine must be placed in a sheltered area away from rain or direct sunlight.
• The machine must not be used in an area with conductive metal dusts.
• The machine protection level is IP23, which means :
- Protection against acess to dangerous parts from solid bodies of a ≥12.5mm diameter and,
- Protection against the rain inclined at 60% towards the vertical.
These devices can be used outside in accordance with the IP23 protection index.
• Do not use the machine at temperatures > 40°C.
The power cables, extensions and welding cables must be fully uncoiled to prevent overheating.
The manufacturer does not incur any responsability regarding damages to both objects and persons that result from an incorrect
and/or dangerous use of the machine .
MAINTENANCE / RECOMMENDATIONS
• Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified person. Annual maintenance is recommended.
• Ensure the machine is unplugged from the mains, and wait for two minutes before carrying out maintenance work. DANGER
High Voltage and Currents inside the machine.
• Remove the casing 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 the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after sales
service or an equally qualified person.
• Ensure the ventilation holes of the device are not blocked to allow adequate air circulation.
• Do not use this equipment to thaw pipes, to charge batteries, or to start any engine.
INSTALLATION – PRODUCT OPERATION
Only qualified personnel authorised by the manufacturer should perform the installation of the welding equipment. During the installation, the
operator must ensure that the machine is disconnected from the mains.
DESCRIPTION
HEAVYMIG are «synergic» semi-automatic welding units on wheels, ventilated for welding (MIG or MAG). They operate on a three-phase 400 V power
supply.
To operate, the HEAVYMIG:
• 400 GR must be used with the external wire feeder WS-4R (ref. 031289) or W5S-4L (ref 032804) and an interconnect cable.
• 500 GR must be used with the external wire feeder WS-4R (ref. 031289) or W5S-4L (ref 032804) and an interconnect cable.
• 500 WS must be used with the external wire feeder WS-4L (ref. 033207) or W5S-4L (ref 032804) and an interconnect cable.
POWER SUPPLY
This machine is fitted with a 32 A socket type EN 60309-1 which must only be used on a three-phase 400 V (50 - 60 Hz) power supply fitted with four
wires and one earthed neutral.
The absorbed effective current (I1eff) is displayed on the machine, for optimal use. Check that the power supply and its protection (fuse and/or
circuit breaker) are compatible with the current needed by the machine. In some countries, it may be necessary to change the plug to allow the use
at maximum settings.
• The machine is designed to work on a 400V +/- 15% power supply. • It switches to protection mode if the power supply voltage is below 330V
RMS or over 490V RMS.
• The start is done via an on / off switch (1 - FIG 1) set to I, and the stop is done by switching it to 0. Warning! Never disconnect the power supply
while the machine is charging.
• Fan operation: The HEAVYMIG 400-4/400 GR and 500 GR features an intelligent cooling fan system in order to minimise machine noise. The venti-
lation remains activated for 10 minutes and then stops automatically. If the user changes the mode by pressing the dedicated key (1 - FIG 4) it will
immediately stop the cooling. It will be switched on again at the next welding bead. Same operation for the HEAVYMIG 500 WS and its cooling system
(cooling unit and fan).
CONNECTION TO A GENERATOR
The machine can work with generators as long as the auxiliary power meets the following requirements:
- The voltage must be AC, with a 400V ±15% RMS value and a peak voltage below 700V,
- The frequency must be between 50 and 60 Hz.
It is imperative to check these requirements, as many generators generate high voltage peaks that can damage these machines.
USE OF EXTENSION LEADS
All extension leads must have an adequate size and section, relative to the machine's voltage.
Use an extension lead that complies with national safety regulations.
