• Install and earth the welding equipment in accordance with applicable
standards.
• Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare hands, wet gloves
or wet protecting clothing.
• Insulate yourself from earth and from the workpiece.
• Ensure your working stance is safe.
)XPHVDQGJDVHV&DQEHGDQJHURXVWRKHDOWK
• Keep your head out of the fumes.
• Use ventilation, extraction at the arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases from
your breathing zone and the general area.

• Protect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens
and wear protecting clothing.
• Protect bystanders with suitable welding helmets or curtains.

The power source is supplied with 5 m mains cable without plug.
1RWHMounting or replacing the mains connection cable and plug shall only be exe-
cuted by an expert.
1RWHFor the mounting of the cable, first remove the right-hand side panel.
7REHREVHUYHGZKHQPRXQWLQJWKHPDLQVFDEOH
Pass the cable through the hole on the rear of the power source and lock it by way
of the cable retainer (05). Connect the phase conductor of the cable to the connec-
tions L1, L2 and L3. Connect the yellow/green earth conductor to the connection.

There are two indicating lamps (H11, H12) on the power source, se Figure 6.:
The green lamp (H11) for stand-by mode is always on when the power source is
connected to the mains and the main switch is in position I.
The yellow lamp (H12) for thermal cut-out goes on when the thermostat has tripped
as a result of overheating. The fans cool the power source and when the lamp goes
out the power source is ready for use again (resetting takes place automatically).
7KHIXQFWLRQRIWKHIDQ
RPB 320 has one fan and RPB 420/520 has two fans running simultaneously.
• The fans run for a while when the main switch is turned to position I.
• The fans go on when the power source after a period of welding is heated
and stops 1-10 minutes after the welding is terminated.
• At idle running the fans enter into function for about 60 sec. every 30 min.

The degree of utilization as well as exterior conditions influence the demand for
service of the power source to a high extent. Sensible use and preventive mainte-
nance will guarantee problem-free operation.
&DEOHV
Check the condition of the welding and return cable every day.

1RWHUnplug the cable from the wall socket and wait about 2 min. (due to capacitor
discharge) before removing the cover plate.
1RWHBefore the connection work is started, inform yourself about the right tight-
ening torques.
• Clean the inner parts of the power source from dust and filth, using a soft
brush and a vacuum cleaner.
1RWHDo not use compressed air as there is a risk that filth hereby can get packed
even harder in the apertures of the cooling profiles!

1RWHIn the event of functional trouble, please contact your nearest FAC/ABB
agency.
Check the service points before sending the power source to the workshop.
7KHUPDORYHUORDGSURWHFWLRQ
The yellow indicating lamp for thermal overload (H12) goes on when the thermostat
has tripped as a result of overheating of the power source.
The thermostat trips if the power source is continuously overloaded beyond the nor-
mal values, or if the circulation of the cooling air is blocked.
The fans cool the power source, and when the lamp goes out the power source is
ready for use again (resetting takes place automatically.)
)XVHVIRUFRQWUROFXUUHQW
The fuse (F11, 6.3 A, slow) on the rear of the power source functions as a protection
for the terminal of the remote control cable X14-15.
The supply voltage unit for extra equipment (single-phase, alternating current, 30V/
240 VA) has a separate fuse (F12 1.0 A, slow).
1RWHUse the same type and size of fuse as indicated beside the fuse holder.

The primary circuits of the machine are protected against sudden, short over-volt-
ages.
If there is under-voltage on the mains (below 300 V) the control of the power source
automatically ceases to function.

Bad connection of the mains cable to the terminal block or to the socket
outlet.
&RQWURORIZHOGLQJG\QDPLFVILJ
The MIG and MAG welding dynamics are controlled over the same potentiometer.
The setting of the MIG/MAG welding dynamics influences the stability of the weld-
ing and the amount of spatter coming up.
The welding result can be optimized for each type of wire and each mixture of
shielding gas by way of the setting.
1...9 A hard arc is used to maximize the stability of the arc within the short-arc
range, for example, or for steel welding using 100% CO2 shielding gas, (position
7...9).
