4. Instruccions de configuració

1. Desembalatge: Carefully remove the welding machine and all accessories from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
2. Col·locació: Place the ESAB Rogue LHN 202i on a stable, level, and non-flammable surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance around the machine for proper ventilation to prevent overheating.
3. Connexió d'alimentació: Connect the machine's power cable to a suitable 220V +/- 10%, 50/60 Hz power supply. Verify that the power source can safely provide the required current (Maximum effective current: 20 A).
4. Welding Cable Connection:
   • Connect the electrode holder cable to the positive (+) output terminal on the front panel.
   • Connecteu la terra clamp cable to the negative (-) output terminal on the front panel.
   • Assegureu-vos que totes les connexions estiguin estretes i segures.
5. Terra Clamp Adjunt: Securely attach the ground clamp directly to the workpiece or to a clean, bare metal part of the welding table that is in direct electrical contact with the workpiece. A poor ground connection can lead to unstable arcs and poor weld quality.
6. Electrode Insertion: Insert the appropriate welding electrode into the electrode holder. Ensure it is firmly gripped.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (welding helmet, gloves, protective clothing) before operating the welding machine.

1. Encès: Turn on the main power switch located on the rear panel of the machine. The digital display on the front panel will illuminate.
2. Ajust actual: Use the control knob on the front panel to set the desired welding current (Amperage) according to the electrode type, material thickness, and welding position. The digital display will show the selected current.
3. Welding Process (MMA/Stick Welding):
   • Posicioneu-vos còmodament i amb seguretat.
   • Strike the arc by lightly touching the tip of the electrode to the workpiece and quickly lifting it slightly to establish a stable arc. Avoid sticking the electrode.
   • Maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed to achieve a uniform weld bead.
4. Welding Process (LiftArc TIG Welding):
   • For TIG welding, ensure you have the correct TIG torch (not included with standard ARC welder) and appropriate shielding gas (e.g., Argon) connected.
   • Initiate the arc by gently touching the tungsten electrode to the workpiece and then lifting it. The LiftArc technology provides a smooth arc start without contaminating the tungsten or workpiece.
   • Maintain a consistent arc length and feed the filler rod (if used) into the weld puddle.
5. Arc Thrust Feature: The machine's adjustable arc thrust automatically optimizes arc stability, which is particularly beneficial for different electrode types and welding conditions.
6. VRD (Voltage Dispositiu de reducció): The VRD indicator on the front panel confirms that the Voltage Reduction Device is active, providing enhanced safety, especially in environments with increased electrical hazards.
7. Apagueu: After welding, turn off the main power switch and allow the machine to cool down before disconnecting cables or moving it.
