NB: These instructions describe an AristoMig U500 with a cooling unit.

The power source is intended for use with the AristoFeed 30 or AristoFeed 48 wire

feed units.

All the settings are made from the wire feed unit or control box AristoPendant U8.

ESAB’s accessories for the product can be found on page 17.

Duty cycle

The duty cycle refers to the time as a percentage of a ten--minute period that you can weld at a cer-

tain load without overloading.

Enclosure class

The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i. e. the degree of protection against penetration by solid

objects or water. Equipment marked IP23 is designed for indoor and outdoor use.

Application class

The symbol indicates that the power source is designed for use in areas with increased

electrical hazard.

5 INSTALLATION

The installation must be executed by a professional.

WARNING!

This product is intended for industrial use. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio

interference. It is the user’s responsibility to take adequate precautions.

5.2 Placing

Position the welding power source such that its cooling air inlets and outlets are not

obstructed.

5.3 Mains power supply

Check that the unit is connected to the correct mains power

supply voltage, and that it is protected by the correct fuse sizes.

A protective earth connection must be made, in accordance

with regulations.

NB: The mains cable areas and fuse sizes as shown above are in accordance with Swedish

regulations. They may not be applicable in other countries: make sure that the cable area and fuse

sizes comply with the relevant national regulations.

5.4 Terminating resistor

In order to avoid communication interference, the ends

of the CAN bus must be fitted with terminating

resistors.

One end of the CAN bus is at the control panel, which

has an integral terminating resistor. The other end at

the power source must be fitted with the terminating

resistor, as shown on the right.

6.2 Turning on the power source

Turn on the mains power by turning switch (7) to the ”START” position. Release the

switch, and it will return to the ”1” position.

If the mains power supply should be interrupted while welding is in progress, and

then be restored, the power source will remain de--energised until the switch is again

turned manually to the ”START” position.

Turn the unit off by turning the switch to the ”0” position.

Whether in the event of a loss of power supply or of turning the power source off in

the normal manner, welding data will be stored so that it is available next time the

unit is started.

6.3 Fan control

The power source fans continue to run for 6,5 minutes after welding has stopped,

and the unit switches to energy--saving mode. They start again when welding

restarts.

The fans run at reduced speed for welding currents up to 180 A, and at full speed for

higher currents.

6.4 Overheating protection

The power source has three thermal overload trips which operate if the internal

temperature becomes too high, interrupting the welding current and lighting the

orange indicating lamp on the front of the unit. They reset automatically when the

temperature has fallen.

6.5 Cooling unit

Water connection (TIG welding)

The cooling unit is equipped with a detection system ELP (ESAB Logic Pump)

which checks that the water hoses are connected.

The power source On/Off switch must be in the “0” position (Off) when connecting a

water--cooled TIG torch.

If a water--cooled TIG torch is connected, the water pump starts automatically when

the main On/Off switch is turned to ”START” and/or when welding starts. After

welding, the pump continues to run for 6,5 minutes, and then switches to the

energy--saving mode.

Function when welding

To start welding, the welder presses the welding gun trigger switch. The power

source turns on and starts the wire feed and the cooling water pump.

To stop welding, the welder releases the welding gun trigger switch. Welding ceases,

but the cooling water pump continues to run for 6,5 minutes, after which the unit

switches to energy--saving mode.

Water flow guard

The water flow guard interrupts the welding current in the event of loss of coolant,

and displays an error message on the control panel. The water flow guard is an

accessory.

6.6 Remote control unit

The program version in AristoPendant U8 should be 1.20 or higher. Aristo machines

with intergral control panels should have program version 1.21 or higher, in order for

the remote control to function correctly.

When the remote control unit is connected, the power source and wire feed unit are

in remote control mode; the buttons and knobs are blocked. The functions can only

be adjusted via the remote unit.

If the remote control unit is not to be used, the remote control unit must be

disconnected from the power source / wire feed unit, as otherwise it will remain in

remote control mode.

For more information about the operation of the remote control unit, see the

operating instructions for the control panel.

7 MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance is important for safe, reliable operation.

Maintenance must be executed by a professional.

Only those persons who have appropriate electrical knowledge (authorized

personnel) may remove the safety plates.

Note!

All guarantee undertakings from the supplier cease to apply if the customer himself

attempts any work in the product during the guarantee period in order to rectify any

faults.

7.1 Cleaning the air filter

SRelease the cover plate with the dust

filter (1).

SSwing out the cover plate (2).

SRemove the dust filter (3).

SBlow it clean with compressed air at

reduced pressure.

SReplace the filter with the finer mesh

on the side against the cover plate (2).

SReplace the cover plate with the filter.
