So'oga autu
Connect the machine to the correct mains supply. Please read the type plate (U1) on the rear side of the machine.

Connection of shielding gas/plasma gas
Connect the gas hoses, which branch off from the back panel of the welding machine (3), to a gas supply with pressure regulator (2-6 bar) for shielding gas. (Note: Some types of pressure regulators require an output pressure of more than 2 bar to function optimally). Connect the gas hose for plasma gas to 1-5 bar.

Plasma gas consumption
The plasma gas consumption will typically vary from 1 to 6 l/min depending on the seam design and welding task. In special cases, the flow can be adjusted outside this area.

The electrode holder and return current cable are connected to plus tap (7) and minus tap (6). Observe the instructions from the electrode supplier when selecting polarity.

Sii i luga faatonuga
The lifting points must be used (please see figure) when lifting the machine.
The machine must not be lifted with mounted gas bottle.

Do not lift the machine by the handle. Do not step on the handle.

CWF Multi (option)

• It is possible to connect to the PI 350 PLASMA with up to 8 CWF Multi units via dedicated CAN BUS connector placed on the rear side of machine (option). In order to permit this control capability, enter the USER Menu and select “Fdr” (feeder), then access “Act” (Active devices) and set the parameter to 1. (see USER MENU)
• Now the PI is ready to control the CWF directly from the box: for each TIG welding program it is possible to select what CWF unit must be activated and the relative CWF program in the range 1 to 20.
• Depending from the settings on the CWF, if the unit is in OFF mode the error message “Fdr” can be displayed on PI and the welding process stopped. This is to inform the user the CWF is not responding to start signal from PI.

Connection of remote control
PI PLASMA can be controlled via a remote control or a welding robot. The remote control socket (14) has terminals for the following functions:

• A: Input signal for welding current,
  0 – +10V input impedance:
  1Mohm
• B: Fa'ailoga eleele
• C: Va'aiga afu – fa'afeso'ota'i le fa'asolo (max. 1Amp), fa'amama atoatoa
• D: NC
• E: Va'aiga afu – fa'afeso'ota'i le fa'asolo (max. 1Amp), fa'amama atoatoa
• F: NC
• G: Supply +24VDC. Short circuit protected with PTC resistor (max. 50mA)
• H: Eleele sapalai
  

Switch on, press, weld

Welding program setting

• Switch on the welding machine on the main switch (2)
•  Select process See Quick guide
  
• Adjust the welding current and secondary parameters. Please read your quickguide
• The machine is now ready to weld

Fa'afitauli ma fofo

PI PLASMA has a sophisticated built-in self-protection system. The machine automatically stops the gas supply and interrupts the welding current in case of an error. Errors are indicated by symbols and error codes.

• Fa'aletonu o le vevela
  The indicator is illuminated, when the power source is overheated.
  Leave the machine on until the built-in fans have cooled it down.

  The indicator flashes when other types of errors occur. At the same time an error code is shown in the display.

Selected error codes

Sese code	Mafuaaga ma fofo
E04-02	Fa'aletonu o sapalai autu The icon will be shown, when the mains voltage is to high. E04-01 will be shown, when the mains voltage maualalo. Connect the welding machine to 400V AC, +/-15% 50-60Hz
PLS	Plasma hose error Short-circuit in the plasma hose. Repair/exchange the hose.
Fdr	Fesootaiga sese PI PLASMA and CWF unit are disconnected.
H2O	Cooling fault Cooling fault is shown in case of connection of wrong type of torch, or if a torch has not been connected. If a flow control kit has been selected, the cooling fault may indicate problems in the cooling unit. Check that the cooling hoses are correctly connected, top up the water tank and check welding hose and branches. Reset the error message by pressing the keypad MMA.
PA.L	Loka laupapa Text is displayed, when panel lock is activated in the user menu (ref. paragraph “user menu”).
GAS	Gas fault Welding stops and the text GAS flashes in the display due to shield gas fault. The error message can be removed by pressing the MMA-key pad.
