5.3 Connecting the cable assembly
1 Join central connector and central socket at the wire feed unit.
2 Secure them with the connection nut.
3 Properly mount the connections for coolant supply/return.
4 Mount the shielding gas and control lead connectors correctly.
5.4 Connecting the coolant
WARNING
Risk of burns
The cable assembly overheats if the coolant level is too low.
• Wear the correct protective gloves.
• Check the coolant level at regular intervals.
NOTICE
• Check the minimum coolant level of the cooling unit.
• Make sure that the coolant supply and return have been installed properly.
Coolant supply = blue, Coolant return = red.
• Do not use any deionized or demineralised water as coolant or for tightness or flow tests.
This may impair the service life of your welding torch.
• We recommend the use of ABICOR BINZEL series BTC coolant for liquid-cooled
welding torches.
 Consult the applicable safety data sheet.
• Each time the device is commissioned or after each cable assembly change, the cooling
system must be purged of any air. Disconnect the coolant return hose from the
re-circulating cooling unit and hold it over a collecting device. Close opening at the
coolant return. Open it again by repeatedly and abruptly releasing it, until the coolant is
flowing continuously and without air bubbles.
5.5 Setting the shielding gas volume
NOTICE
• The type and quantity of the shielding gas depends on the welding task and the gas
nozzle geometry.
• Make all shielding gas connections gas-tight.
• To prevent the shielding gas supply from becoming clogged by impurities, the cylinder
valve must be opened briefly, before connecting the cylinder. This will blow out any
impurities that may be present.
