DESCRIPTION OF POWER SOURCE
ADV series welding systems are designed for welding coated electrodes and for TIG welding with SCRATCH arc
ignition; their basic parts are:
1. Control electronics
2. Power electronics
Reduced size and weight make these welders ideal for operators having frequent moving jobs.
The inverter frequency eliminates the characteristic noise of old generation electronic power sources. The welding
bead is more effectively controlled due to the progress of electronic research.
The quality of materials used for manufacturing the ERGUS machines guarantees high performance, long life and
low maintenance.
BEFORE PLUGING AND USE, READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY.
By following the instructions you can avoid incorrect machine installation.
Damage due to incorrect use invalidates the guarantee.
FOR SPECIAL MAINTENANCE, CONTACT THE DEALER. REPAIRS MADE BY UNAUTHORISED SERVICE
CENTRES INVALIDATE THE GUARANTEE.
Welding power sources are designed for professional use and must be used exclusively by qualified personnel.
This equipment can work under particularly heavy duty and with temperatures between –10°C (14°F) and +40°C
(104°F).
1. Placing the equipment
Avoid placing the equipment in areas that limit the air flow from the fan and from the ventilation grids (do not cover
the power source).
Make sure that the environment temperature does not exceed of 40°C (104°F), that there is no wet air containing
dusts, acids, salts, concentrations of ferrous or metallic dust.
Check that the mains voltage is the same as the power source voltage.
Make sure that the power available from the mains is adequate for the power required by the generator (see
technical data).
Make sure that the working conditions conform with the IP 21 S protection degree.
Casings ensure protection of the electrical components against external agents and against direct contact. They
have various degrees of protection against solids and water, depending on the conditions they are used in.
The degree of protection is shown by the letters IP followed by two digits: the first digit shows the degree of
protection against solid objects and the second the degree of protection against water.
