MADE IN FRANCE
start and arc stabilization devices must be adjusted and maintained according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
c. Welding cables: Cables must be as short as possible, close to each other and close to the ground, if not on the
ground.
d. Electrical bonding : consideration shoud be given to bonding all metal objects in the surrounding area. However,
metal objects connected to the workpiece increase the riskof electric shock if the operator touches both these metal
elements and the electrode. It is necessary to insulate the operator from such metal objects.
e. Earthing of the welded part : When the part is not earthed - due to electrical safety reasons or because of its size
and its location (which is the case with ship hulls or metallic building structures), the earthing of the part can, in some
cases but not systematically, reduce emissions It is preferable to avoid the earthing of parts that could increase the risk
of injury to the users or damage other electrical equipment. If necessary, it is appropriate that the earthing of the part
is done directly, but in some countries that do not allow such a direct connection, it is appropriate that the connection
is made with a capacitor selected according to national regulations.
f. Protection and plating : The selective protection and plating of other cables and devices in the area can reduce
perturbation issues. The protection of the entire welding area can be considered for specific situations.
TRANSPORT AND TRANSIT OF THE WELDING MACHINE
Do not use the cables or torch to move the machine. The welding equipment must be moved in an
upright position.
Do not place/carry the unit over people or objects.
EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
• Put the machine on the floor (maximum incline of 10°.)
• The IP protection rating depends on the integration in the enclosure of the welding system.
• The machine must be placed in a sheltered area away from rain or direct sunlight.
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 main-
tenance 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 authorized 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. Connecting gene-
rators in serial or in parallel is forbidden.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This welding machine is an inverter welding unit designed for use on refractory electrodes (TIG) in direct current (DC).
Totally driven by a robot, the communication is made through a CAN BUS and a protocol CAN OPEN.
The welding machine follows and regulates the current instruction in realtime. This mode is called « TRACKING ».
POWER SUPPLY - POWER UP
The Orbitig 200A is supplied without a plug and features the «Flexible voltage» technology and as such needs to be
connected to an electrical earthed installation supplying power between 110V and 240V (50-60 Hz).
The absorbed effective current (I1eff) is displayed on the machine, for optimal use. Check that the power supply used and
