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.
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION (FIG-1)
The MULTICOOL cooling unit is a system designed to cool the water cooled torches connected to all types of welding machines (MIG/MAG and TIG). This
device is autonomous and has its own power supply.
The MULTICOOL 1300 is equipped with a water flow protection to protect the torch against a plug on the water circuit or a deterioration of the torch
beam.

POWER SUPPLY
This machine 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 absorbed effective current (I1eff) is indicated 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.
START UP
• Fill the tank (see «Cooling liquid» section below).
• Connect the torch to the Multicool.
• Connect the MULTICOOL power supply cable to a single-phase 230V +/- 15% (50 - 60 Hz) power supply WITH earth. This machine must only be
used with a single phase electricity supply system with three wires and one earthed neutral The absorbed effective current (I1eff) is indicated 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.
• Turn on the MULTICOOL with the ON/OFF button located on the front of the machine.
• After 1 minute, check the coolant level and fill if necessary.
COOLANT
Make sure that the cooling unit is turned off before disconnecting the liquid inlet and/or outlet hoses of the torch. The coolant is
harmful and irritates the eyes, the mucous membranes and the skin. Hot liquid may cause burns.
Risk of burns due to hot liquid Never drain the cooling unit immediately after use. The liquid contained inside is boiling, wait
until it cools down before draining.

Fuse
The operator must fill the tank up to its maximum indicated on the
front of the cooling unit but never under the minimum line or a
warning message will be displayed on the screen.
It is essential to use a specific cooling liquid for welding machines
with low electrical conductivity, and with anti-corrosion and anti-
freeze properties (ref. 052246).
The use of any other coolant (in particular the automotive standard
coolant), can lead, by electrolysis effect, to the accumulation of solid
deposits in the cooling system, thus damaging it and also blocking
the circuit.
This recommended MAX level is essential to optimise the duty cycle
of the water cooled torch associated to it.
Any damage to the machine caused by the use of a coolant other
than the recommended type will not be considered under the war-
ranty.
