Chapter 3 Transportation and
Installation
This chapter explains the necessary equipment, installation environment and transportation method for
installing the welding power source.
3.1 Required Equipment

This section explains the necessary power supply equipment for installing the welding power source and
equipment for preventing lack of oxygen and dust hazard during welding.
3.1.1 Welding power source equipment

For installing the welding power source, power source equipment and protective device that meet the
following ratings are required.
Chapter 3
Transportation and Installation
• When the welding power source is used in a humid environment such as construction
site, or location with highly conducting material such as steel plate or on steel structure,
install a leakage breaker.
Otherwise, electric shock due to leakage of electricity may occur.
• Be sure to install a switch with fuse or a circuit breaker (for motor) to the input side of
each welding power source.
Otherwise, electric shock and fire due to overcurrent or damage to the welding power
source may occur.

(or leakage breaker) (*1)
*1: High sensitivity type leakage breaker is recommended for installing a leakage breaker. (Consult the breaker
manufacturer for details)
3.1.1.1 Use of the engine generator and auxiliary power
• To prevent the welding power source from being damaged or arc loss, follow the
instructions below.
When using an engine generator for the welding power source, pay attention to the following.
• Set the output voltage of the engine generator to the voltage range between 400 and 460 V at no-load
welding operation.
Setting to an extremely high output voltage may result in damage to the welding power source.
3-1
CHAPTER 3 TRANSPORTATION AND INSTALLATION
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT
• Use an engine generator with a damper winding that has a capacity of more than twice the rated input
(kVA) of the welding power source.
Generally, the recovery time of the engine generator's voltage for load change is slower than that of the
commercial power source. If the engine generator does not have sufficient capacity, sudden current
change such as arc start will occur and this may result in an abnormal decrease in output current or arc
loss.
• Be sure to use a single welding power source with a single engine generator. If more than two welding
power sources are combined, output voltage will become unstable with a likely result of arc loss.
Use the auxiliary power of engine welder with an improved voltage waveform.
Some engine welders have poor electricity that may cause product damage on the welding power source.
3.1.2 Ventilation equipment/partial exhaust facility

This section explains the ventilation equipment and partial exhaust facility in welding work area.

WIRING OF VOLTAGE DETECTION CABLE AT BASE METAL SIDE
CHAPTER 4
4.6 Wiring of Voltage Detection Cable at Base Metal Side

When the extension cable is 30 m or more in length in total, use of the voltage detection cable at the base
metal side is recommended.
The voltage detection cable needs to be wired so that the correct feedback of the arc voltage can be
obtained. Connect the voltage detection cable as near as possible to the base metal to avoid detection of
voltage decrease.
Use the voltage detection cable at base metal (optionally available: K5416N00 or K5416G00) by
connecting with the wire feeder or to the voltage direct detection terminal at the base metal side on the
front of welding power source.
When using the voltage detection cable, set the internal function F38 to "ON". ( 6.7.1 Setting -

■SYNERGIC mode
Press the VOLT.ADJUST key. When the LED of the key is ON, it means the SYNERGIC mode is applied.
• The welding voltage is automatically set to the values corresponding to the welding current.
• The voltage value automatically set can be finely adjusted by the parameter adjustment knob. (Welding
voltage on the positive side: high, negative side: low.)
■INDIVIDUAL mode
Press the VOLT.ADJUST key. When the LED of the key is OFF, it means the INDIVIDUAL mode is
applied.
• Press the VOLT.ADJUST key. When the LED of the key is OFF, it means the INDIVIDUAL mode is
applied.
• The welding voltage can be adjusted by the parameter adjustment knob.
6.6.6 Arc characteristics adjustment

This section explains the adjustment procedure of arc characteristics (arc status). Using this function
enables to adjust the arc status into soft or hard condition.
Press the ARC CONTROL key. When the LED of the key is ON, it means the arc control is ON.
The setting value is displayed on the right digital meter, and can be adjusted by the parameter
adjustment knob. (Positive value: soft arc condition, negative value: hard arc condition)
TIPS
• It is likely that good weld can be obtained by adjusting it to "hard" in low current region and
"soft" in high current region.
• When using an extended cable for the base material side /torch side or using an extended
torch cable, it is likely that good welding can be performed by adjusting it to "hard."
6.6.7 Penetration control adjustment

This section explains how to adjust the penetration control. Using the constant penetration function
enables to automatically adjust the wire feed speed so that the constant welding current can be assured
even when the wire feeding length changes.
Press the CONSTANT PENETRATION key. When the LED of the key is ON, it means the penetration
control is ON.
This results in reduction of changes in penetration depth and bead width of the base material. Especially
for welding where you desire to make penetration depth constant, use the welding power source with
this penetration control function enabled.
TIPS
• The penetration control is available when "DC" or "DC PULSE" is selected by the "WELDING
METHOD" key.
Chapter 6
• The penetration control function is available when "MILD STEEL SOLID", "MILD STEEL
Welding Condition
CORED", "STAINLESS STEEL SOLID" or "STAINLESS STEEL CORED" is selected by the WIRE
MATERIALS key.
• The penetration control functions only during the production weld while it does not during
the initial and crater processes. Also, the function cannot be used in arc spot.
6-23
6.6.8 Adjustment of wave frequency

This section explains how to adjust the wave frequency. In wave pulse welding, cyclically accumulating
two separate unit pulse conditions at low frequency enables to obtain continuous weld bead looking like
rows of fish scales.
Aluminum welding makes a ripple bead using an overlap method.
It can also make welding easier, even if there is a gap between weld parts, because it performs a crystal
miniaturization by vibrating the molten pool, and the welded part becomes more resistant to cracking.
The wave pulse welding changes the wire feeding speed and unit pulse condition.
When it close to the limiting value of response characteristics of wire feed motor, it makes the feeding
amplitude small automatically.
When the wave frequency is 3 Hz or more, the amplitude of feeding speed becomes small. At 5 Hz or
more, it disappears. In this case, the wire feeding speed becomes stable and only the unit pulse condition
changes.
<Image of welding bead form in the wave frequency>
Wave frequency Image of welding bead form
Low
High
TIPS
• This function is available when "DC WAVE PULSE" is selected by the WELDING METHOD key.
• Wave pattern of the welding bead varies depending on the type of welding material, travel
speed, and the heat input during welding.
The welding materials such as a mild steel and SUS do not make wave patterns, because
they spend much time to coagulate.
• The blowhole reduction effect is related to the molten material vibration.
When the molten pool is large, the vibration becomes large and has a good effect, but if it is
small, the vibration becomes small and has no effect.
The amount of molten material is related to the bead size. When weld is performed using a
thick bead, the effect becomes large.
• This effect is not for disappearing blowholes in all welding materials such as very thick
metalizing plating, a steel product containing lots of oils, and cast metal.
• When using annealed wire, bead surface may blacken somewhat if shorting occurs
frequently during the welding operation.

• When using the remote control in a low current region, set the scale plate to 200A.
6.7.2.8 F10: Motor overcurrent detection level
Set the over current detection level for the current flowing to the wire feed motor.
If contact resistance of the wire feeding line section increases due to liner wear / tip defect, etc., motor
current increases (when the feeding roller does not slip). Monitoring this motor current enables to
identify faults of the feeding line.
Set the detection level in the range of 20 to 150 % of the motor rated current.
• The factory default setting is 70 % of 2.8 A (continuous).
If the current flows to the motor exceed the set value, the alarm display of “E-820” is displayed; output of
the welding power source is not stopped.
• According to the use environment such as wires and torches and the customer’s judgment criteria, adjust
the detection level at your discretion.
6.7.2.9 F11: Fine adjustment of welding conditions memory
When the analog remote control (optionally available) is used, fine adjustment of the welding current
and welding voltage of welding condition stored on the welding condition memory is available. This
function is effective when the internal function F4 (Auto/Semi-auto mode) is set to "0".
• [OFF]: disables the function.
• [1] to [30]: enables the function. Turning the welding current adjustment knob on the analog remote
control enables to fine adjust the current, and turning the voltage knob enables to fine adjust the voltage.
‒ Setting range : 1 to 30 %
‒ Turning both of the current and voltage knobs to the center of scales sets the welding conditions to
those stored on the welding condition memory. Adjust the current/voltage with the standard of the
center of scales. To increase the welding current or voltage, turn the knob counterclockwise and to

6.7.2.10 F12: Operation time of water-cooled pump
Sets the operation time of water-cooled pump after welding ends.

When the water-cooled welding torch is used, the water-cooled pump operates to cool the welding torch
as the welding ends. The operation time of water-cooled pump at this time can be set:
• Setting range of water-cooled pump operation time: 20 to 60 min.
• “ON”: Water-cooled pump is always ON
6.7.2.11 F13: Turbo start
The welding power source has the turbo start function using capacitor discharge in order to obtain
smooth welding start.
• [ON]: enables the function.
TIPS
• If wire burning is too strong at the welding start, set this function to [OFF] to disable the turbo
start function (disables the function).
6.7.2.12 F14/F15: Start control (time/current) adjustment
Set the time and current for start control to be performed at the time of welding start.
Depending on the welding conditions and set current value, the appropriate time and current for start
control are determined; if proper burning of the wire does not occur at the time of start, adjust the time
and current for start control.
For more intense burning, increase the time and current.
For less intense burning, reduce the time and current.
• Set the time from -50 to 50 % through F14 (Start control time adjustment).

6.7.2.13 F16: Slowdown speed adjustment
Slow-down speed is the speed to slowly feed the wire from the time of the machine start to the time of
arc start.
The slowdown speed is automatically set to an appropriate speed depending on the welding method and
wire diameter; meanwhile, it can be adjusted through this function if manual setting is preferred.
The setting range is ±1.0 m/min, yet cannot be adjusted slower than 0.4 m/min. Based on "0," adjusting
it to the negative direction lowers the speed, and adjusting it to the positive direction accelerates the
speed.
When the starting performance is poor, decrease the slow-down speed to a negative value (which lowers
the wire feed speed).
When the starting performance is not poor, setting the slow-down speed to a positive value (which
accelerates the wire feed speed) can shorten the tact time.
6.7.2.14 F17/F18: Anti-stick time/voltage adjustment
Set the anti-stick time/voltage, which is the anti-stick processing time and voltage. Optimum setting of
the anti-stick time/voltage enables to obtain the following effects:
• At the welding completion, wire adhesion to the base material can be prevented.
• The shape of wire tip can be arranged to obtain a stable start of the next welding.
The time and voltage for anti-stick process are automatically set to appropriate conditions depending on
the welding method (wire type) and wire diameter; meanwhile, it can be adjusted through this function
if wire should cause adhesion at the end of welding or if burning is too intense.
• Adjust the anti-stick process time in the range of ±50 (unit: 0.01 seconds) through the internal function F17.
Based on "0," adjusting it to the negative direction shortens the time, and adjusting it to the positive
extends the time.
• Adjust the anti-stick process voltage in the range of ± 9.9 V through the internal function F18. Based on
"0," adjusting it to the negative values decreases the voltage, and adjusting it to the positive increases the
voltage.

6.7.2.16 F20: Low input voltage detection level
Set the low input voltage detection level on the primary side. When the input voltage is lower than the
set value, an error code is displayed.
Set the value in the range of 260 to 400 V.
TIPS
• The factory default setting is 320 V. However, the specification of input voltage as welding
power source is the range of 340 to 460 V. If input voltage is lower than this range, it may
affect welding performance.
6.7.2.17 F21: Maximum cooling fan operation
The cooling fan can be rotated at the maximum rotation speed at all time.
• [ON]: The cooling fan rotates at the maximum rotation speed at all time. Even when it is set to [ON],
ensure not to exceed the specified duty cycle. ( 2.1.4 Rated duty cycle)
-
• [OFF]: The cooling fan rotates in a control mode (power-saving operation) due to the temperature
detection inside the welding power source.
This mode is effective in saving power consumption and preventing suction of extra powder dusts.
6.7.2.18 F22: Operation sound switching
Set the operation sound not to be emitted.

• [ON]: Pressing any key on the operation panel enables to sound the operation sound.

• For optimum fine adjustment:

For fine adjustment of unit pulse condition, first adjust the pulse peak time.
‒ When large droplet and unstable arc (droplet transfer) occurs, adjust to a longer pulse peak time.
‒ Adjust to a shorter pulse peak time when tip of wire becomes sharp and extremely strong arc occurs.
For more improvement, adjust the pulse peak current following the same steps as pulse peak time
adjustment.
TIPS
• Maximum pulse peak current which can be output varies depending on the type
(capability) of welding power source or arc load.
• When the pulse peak current finely adjusted exceeds the maximum pulse peak current,
the preset pulse peak current is not output.

7.3.2 Simplified data log function

The welding status can be checked on a computer by sampling the data during welding and backing
them up in the USB memory. Only three of the following data can be sampled.
• Welding current set value • Welding voltage set value • Wire feeding speed set value
• Welding current actual value • Welding voltage actual value • Wire feeding speed actual value
The data types/sampling speed should be specified in the internal function F52/F53 (data log function).
( 6.7 Setting Internal Functions)
-
Simplified data log will be created below the "DAIHEN_OTC_Welbee\DAT\DAT00001" folder. A csv
file will be created per welding.
When DAIHEN_OTC_Welbee\DAT\DAT00001 folder is already existing, "DAT00002" folder will be
created below the "DAIHEN_OTC_Welbee\DAT" folder and folder for the consecutive number will per
created for each simplified data log.
Example: The data will be output as below when the internal function F52 is set to "1" (detected values
of welding current, welding voltage and feeding speed) and F53 to "1" (100 ms).
Time [msec] Welding current [A] Welding current [V] Feeding rate [m/min]
Start of welding
Elapse of time
TIPS
• The length of time that can be used for recording depends on the sampling speed. If the
sampling speed is set to 100 ms, data of approximately five hours can be recorded. When
the data exceeds the capacity, they will be deleted in order from the oldest. Also note that
data will be recorded during welding only, and not recorded when there is no output.
• The simplified data log cannot be backed up. It will be deleted when the power switch is
turned off.
The simplified data log can be exported even if an error code is displayed (error code is
output) on the left/right digital meters. In that case, back up the data before turning off the
power switch.
