Equipment Installation; Maintenance / Recommendations; Power Supply - ims PRO IMS 400 TRI Bedienungsanleitung

EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION

• Put the machine on the floor (maximum incline of 10°.)
• Ensure the work area has sufficient ventillation for welding, and that there is easy access to the control panel.
• The machine must not be used in an area with conductive metal dusts.
• The machine must be placed in a sheltered area away from rain or direct sunlight.
• The machine protection level is IP23, which means :
- Protection against acess to dangerous parts from solid bodies of a ≥12.5mm diameter and,
- Protection against the rain inclined at 60° towards the vertical.
These devices can be used outside in accordance with the IP23 protection index.
• 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 maintenance 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 cutting equipment. During set up, the operator must
ensure that the machine is unplugged. Connecting generators in a series or a parallel circuit is forbidden.
HARDWARE DESCRIPTION (FIG-1)
The IMS 400 is a three phase inverter welder which, depending on its equipment, can do :
- Electrode welding (MMA)
- Tungsten electrode welding (TIG)
The TIG process requires gas shielding (Argon).
The MMA process can weld any type of electrode : rutile, basic, cellulosic, stainless and brass.
The IMS 400 can be equipped with a remote control (ref. 045675).

POWER SUPPLY

• The IMS 400 is fitted with a 32 A socket type EN 60309-1 which must be connected to a three-phase 400V (50 - 60 Hz) power supply fitted with
four wires and one 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.
• While under intensive use (superior to the duty cycle) the thermal protection can activate, in that case, the arc switches off and the thermal pro-
tection indicator switches on.
• The machine ie designed to work on a 400V +/- 15% power supply.
• The start is done via an on / off switch (FIG 1 - 6) set to I, and the stop is done by switiching it to O. Attention ! Never disconnect the power
supply when the machine is on.
