Arcitech Inverter Technology Arc Welder

BUILT TO LAST

Description

The future of welding has arrived! The

Campbell Hausfeld Arcitech™arc

welder uses inverter technology to

eliminate the mass and weight of

traditional transformer welders, giving

you amazing power in a tiny portable

package. This constant-current power

source delivers smooth DC power for

high quality welds with the SMAW

(shielded metal arc welding) process

using stick electrodes. It can also be

converted to a TIG (tungsten inert gas)

welder with the optional TIG torch

(WT6100) and a bottle of inert gas

with a regulator.

The Campbell Hausfeld Arcitech™

welder runs on 115 Volt – 20 Amp

single phase input power. It is

equipped with infinite amperage

control to accurately select the proper

current needed for various welding

conditions. Internal components are

thermostatically protected.

Unpacking

When unpacking, inspect carefully for

any damage that may have occurred

during transit. Make sure any loose

fittings and screws, etc. are tightened

before putting unit into service.

Circuit Requirements

This equipment

requires a

dedicated 115 volt circuit. Refer to the

following chart for the correct circuit

breaker or fuse rating. Do not run

other appliances, lights, or tools on

this circuit while operating this

equipment.. See chart for proper

extension cord use. Blown fuses and

tripped circuit breakers can result from

failure to comply with this

recommendation.

CAUTION

Specifications

The electrode

holder is "live"

(has current potential) when machine is

turned on.

Components (See Figure 1)

1. Work Clamp with 10’ lead and dinse

plug connector

WARNING

2. Electrode Holder with 15’ lead and

dinse plug connector

3. Power Cord –7.5’ – 14AWGX3C-SJT

Controls – Front Panel (See Figure 2)

1. Infinite amperage control knob –

controls 5-110 Amps DC output

2. Positive Dinse plug connector:

a) Connect electrode holder for

“reverse” (DCEP) polarity.

b) Connect work clamp for “straight”

(DCEN) polarity.

3. Negative Dinse plug connector:

a) Connect work clamp for “reverse”

(DCEP) polarity.

b) Connect electrode holder for

“straight” (DCEN) polarity.

4. Yellow LED – Normally off. When lit it

means that welding current is shut off

due to:

a) Thermal overload – duty cycle is

exceeded – allow to cool for 15

minutes.

b) Input voltage outside of safe
