Arcitech

Inverter Technology

Arc Welder

Description

The future of welding has arrived! The Campbell Hausfeld Arcitecharc 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 Arcitechwelder 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

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

! CAUTION 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.

Components (See Figure 1)

1.Work Clamp with 10’ lead and dinse plug connector

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
