POWER SUPPLY
• The 230V model is fitted with a 16A socket type CEE7/7 which must be connected to a single-phase 230V (50 - 60 Hz) power supply fitted with
three wires and one earthed neutral.
- The 208/240V model is supplied without a plug and should only be connected on a single-phase 208-240V (50-60 Hz) three-wire (50-60 Hz) electrical
system with a 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 230V -20% +15% power supply. It switches to protection mode if the power supply voltage is below 185V
RMS or over 265V RMS. (a default code will appear on the screen display).
• Power up the machine by switching the on / off switch (2 - FIG 1) to the I position, and stop it by switching it to the 0 position.
Warning! Never disconnect the power supply while the machine is charging.
CONNECTION TO A GENERATOR
The machine can work with generators as long as the auxiliary power matches these requirements:
- The voltage must be AC, always superior to 230 V -20% +15%, and the peak voltage below 400V,
- The frequency must be between 50 and 60 Hz.
It is imperative to check these requirements as several generators generate high voltage peaks that can damage these machines.
USE OF EXTENSION LEADS
All extension cables must have an adequate size and section, relative to the machine's voltage.
Use an extension lead that complies with national safety regulations.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC STEEL / STAINLESS STEEL WELDING (MAG MODE)
CARPULSE can weld steel wire from Ø 0.6 to 1.0 mm and stainless steel from Ø 0.8 to 1.0 mm (II-A).
The device is supplied as standard with rollers Ø 0.6/0.8 and Ø 0.8/1.0 for steel or stainless steel. The contact tube, the roller groove, the torch
sheath are designed for this application.
Welding steel requires a specific gas (Ar+CO2). The proportion of CO2 may vary depending on the gas used. For stainless steel, use a mixture with
2% CO2. When welding with pure CO2, it is necessary to connect a gas preheating device to the gas cylinder. For specific gas requirements, please
enquire with your gas distributor. The gas flow rate for steel is between 8 and 15 litres / minute depending on the environment. Synergies in Pulse
mode are optimized for a gas flow between 12 and 15 liters / minute. To measure the gas flow at the flare outlet, you can use the optional flowme-
ter (ref. 053939).
SEMI-AUTOMATIC ALUMINIUM WELDING (MIG MODE)
CARPULSE can weld aluminium wire from Ø 0.8 to 1.2 mm (II-B).
Aluminium use requires a specific pure argon gas (Ar). For specific gas requirements, please enquire with your gas distributor. The aluminium gas
flow rate is between 15 and 20 l/min depending on the environment and the welder's experience. Synergies in Pulse mode are optimized for a gas
flow between 12 and 15 liters / minute.
The differences between using the unit on steel or aluminum are:
- Use specific drive rolls for aluminium welding.
- Apply minimum pressure on the pressure rollers of the motor-driven reel to avoid crushing the wire.
- Use the capillary tube (designed to guide the wire between the drive rolls in the motor and the EURO connector) only for steel/stainless steel
welding (II-B).
- Use a torch designed for aluminium. This aluminium torch is fitted with a teflon torch liner in order to reduce frictions. DO NOT cut the liner at the
edge of the fitting! This liner guides the wire from the drive rolls.
- Contact tube: use a SPECIAL aluminium contact tube corresponding to the diameter of the wire.
When using red or blue liner (aluminium welding), it is recommended to use the part no.90950 (option) (II-C).
This stainless steel liner guide improves the centering of the sheath and facilitates the wire feed.
