Operating - ims PRO COMBISPOT 230V Mode D'emploi

Translation of the original instructions

Operating:

• Proceed as follows:
• Connect the earth clamp of the generator to the sheet metal to be straightened and follow the instructions below:
- la placer au point le plus proche de l'endroit où vous devez travailler.
- ne pas la connecter sur une pièce voisine (ex: ne pas connecter la masse sur une portière pour redresser l'aile)
- décaper proprement la tôle à l'endroit de la connexion.
• Grind the area where the metal is to be worked.
• Attach the required tool to the end of the gun, tightening the nut firmly
• Select the tool and the power level (see "Operating and Setting") on the machine)
• Make contact between the tool on the gun and the metal.
• Generate your welding arc.
Caution: For optimum operation, it is recommended to use the delivered earth cable and gun originally
B- Position Alu (fig.II)
The COMBISPOT 230 was designed to carry out repairs to aluminium car bodies, which have minor dings and dents,
marks, scratches or hail damages.
Short charging times and thus quick welding sequences are accomplished.
The robust construction ensures high reliability and high power-on time.
The COMBISPOT 230 welds M4 studs using capacitor discharge technology.
The welding is very fast (2 to 3 milliseconds).
The COMBISPOT 230 has 2 operating modes:
• Voltage programming mode: from 50 to 200 Volt.
• Power programming mode: L,1-9,H. L means low, H means high:
- Switching from voltage mode to power mode is done by pressing the key (1) (Cf. Fig II-1). See table Power vs Voltage
(Cf. Fig. II-2).
- Press the on/off switch (2) on the right of the keyboard (Cf. Fig. II-1).
- Notice: the earth adapter is factory mounted
- Grind the area which needs to be straightened, such that the 3 brass pads can make the ground contact with the
aluminium car body.
- Position the stud in the copper tip of the gun. Adjust if necessary the screw adjustment of bumper stud (see pictures
below)
- In order to get a good welding of the stud, the base must come out by approximately 1mm from the extremity of the
mandrel (6)
- The position of the stud in the mandrel can be adjusted by screwing / unscrewing the nut on the adjustment screw (4)
Upon delivery of the gun, the screw (7) is loosened and the cursor (8) is in abutment. This setting allows exerting a
force of about 20 N during welding, which is suitable for welding aluminium studs M4. The screw is used to adjust the
down force of the spring when the shot is fired or to compensate for the wear of the spring.
Adjust the power or the voltage value using + and - buttons. At power up the power value by default is 5 which is 100
volts. In general, the value to have a good welding of a M4 stud for small dent removal is: voltage = 90 V or power = 4.
Increase the voltage for thicker panels. Be careful, too elevated power can damage the copper base.
For a good weld, only the « nipple of the stud » must be in contact with the component.
Make a small pressure on the gun without crushing the "pin" of the stud. The capacitor discharge is done automatically
when the support comes in the ring.
At this moment the stud is correctly welded. Welding duration is less than 3 milliseconds.
For an optimum repair, we advise you to warm up the metal sheet.
