GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Product Description

The IDEALARC SP-250 is a complete semiautomatic constant voltage DC arc welding machine built to meet NEMA specifications. This unit combines a constant voltage power source, a constant speed wire feeder, and a microcomputer-based controller to form an intel- ligent welding system.

A front panel touch key entry system with audible feed- back, along with a two-line, 32 character alphanumer- ic display, provide user friendly control of the system. The system provides full range control from the keypad or from the thumb switch built into the SP-250 welding gun, which permits "on the fly" control while welding

Multi language display capability allows the SP-250 to communicate with the user in any of the following five languages: English, German, French, Spanish, or Japanese (Katakana).

Proper welding setup is simple. You only need to select the gauge size of the material to be welded and enter the welding process to used. With that data, the system

•automatically computes the proper wire feed speed and arc voltage relationship for the process.

•selects the right procedure for optimum starting, welding, and burnback.

The system allows you to store up to five separate welding setup procedures. You can recall them at any time at the touch of a single key. All active setup selec- tions, as well as those stored in the memory locations, are automatically saved when power is turned off or disconnected. Whatever procedure was being used when power was removed, will be recalled when power is returned. The SP-250 does not require batteries to maintain memory data.
