MANUAL ELECTRODE WELDING
Fig. 24 The Transtig 1600 / 1700 as a manual electrode welding machine,
consisting of: power source with control unit, Tpmc manual remote
control unit (may be used optionally) and welding cables
START-UP
l
Plug the welding cable into the appropriate current socket
(see symbols) and secure it by turning it clockwise.
(Cable cross-sectional area 35 - 50 mm
l
Select the correct polarity for the type of electrode to be used.
l
Shift the mains master switch
l
Press the function button
The LED indicator
and welding current indicator
l
Digital-Voltmeter
indicates the open circuit voltage
l
Connect TPmc remote control unit if required (set arc force and
Hot-Start)
l
Pre-select welding current (command value for main current I
is displayed on ammeter
l
Initiate the welding operation.
Warning! The tungsten electrode on the mounted welding
torch will always be live when the mains master switch
is ON and the operating mode is in the
Make sure, when the torch is not in use, that it is either
disconnected from the machine or else fastened to the
machine in such a way (insulated) that the tungsten elec-
trode cannot touch any electrically conductive or earthed
parts.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Under normal operating conditions the TRANSTIG 1600 / 1700
requires a minimum of care and maintenance. However, to ensure
continued trouble-free operation of your machine for year to come,
a certain amount of basic maintenance must be carried out.
Warning! Switch off the machine and pull out the plug first!
l
Check the mains plug and mains cable, and the welding torch
and earth connection, for signs of damage from time to time.
l
Once or twice a year, unscrew the welding machine casing and
clean out the inside of the unit using dry compressed air (be
careful - blowing compressed air directly onto electronic com-
ponents from too close a distance may damage them!)
