(ensure that the drive roller is completely loose so the wire is not fed through).
Maximum gas pressure 0.5MPA (5 bars).
This procedure does not apply to «Gasless» welding mode.
DUTY CYCLE & WELDING ENVIRONMENT IN USE
• The machine has a "constant output" (constant voltage) in MIG/MAG mode; and a "dropping output" (constant
current) in MMA mode.The duty cycles following the standard EN60974-1 (at 40°C on a 10mn cycle) are indi-
cated in the table here below:
X @ 40°C
(T cycle = 10 min)
GOLDMULTI 160 – MIG/MAG
GOLDMULTI 160 – MMA
While under intensive use (superior to duty cycle) the thermal protection can turn on, in that case, the arc swit-
ches off and the thermal protection indicator switches on.
Note : The machine's duty cycle has been tested at room temperature (40°C) and has been determined by
simulation.
RISK OF INJURY DUE TO MOVING PARTS
The wire feeders contain moving parts that may catch hand, hair, clothes or tools which can lead to
injuries! Take extra care.
• Do not lay a hand to swivel or moving components or parts to the drive!
• Ensure that the housing covers or protective covers remain closed during operation!
ADVICE & THERMAL PROTECTION
This device is equipped with a ventilator regulated by the inside temperature. When the machine's thermal pro-
tection is activated, it will not deliver any current. Orange light (Fig-V-2 / p.76) will turn on until the temperature
of the machine has returned to normal.
• Do not block/cover the ventillation holes, ensure free flow of air.
• Whilst in thermal protection mode leave the machine plugged into the mains after welding to allow it to cool.
General observations :
• Always respect the basic rules of welding.
• Always work in an adequately ventillated area.
• Do not work on a damp surface.
