While most ‘ofthis work is of very high qualty, the reeuits are complex. Curent scientific understanding does net yt allow us to interpret the evidence {na single coherent framework. Even move frustrating, i does not yet allow us to draw definite conclusions about questions of possible risk ‘orto offer clear science-based advice on statogies fo minimize or avold poterial risk.” ‘To reduce magnetic feds in the workplace, usa the following procedures: 1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping ther. 2. Arrange cable to one side and away from the operator. 8. Do not col or drape cables around the body. ‘About Pacemakers: ‘4. Keep welding power source and cables as faraway trom body as practical. '5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as possible. “The above procedures are among those aiso normally eeommended fo pacemaker wearers. Consult your doctor for complete information.

If the equipment has been damaged in transit, notify the carrier (railroad, trucking company, etc.) at once and file a claim for damages. If you require assistance with a damage claim, furnish Hobart Brothers Company full information about the claim. If the shipment isin error, contact: Order Depart- ment, Hobart Brothers Company, Troy, Ohio 45373. Give the MODEL, SPECIFICATION, and SERIAL num- bers of the equipment, and a full description of the parts in error. Refer to the first page of this manual for an ‘explanation of the specification numbers. Generally, itis good practice to move the equipment to the site of installation before uncrating. Use care in tunerating in order to avoid damage to the equipment when bars, hammers, etc., are used. Lifting eyes which extend through the top of the cabinet have been pro- vided to facilitate handling with a crane or hoist. Best results with this equipment will be obtained ONLY if the responsible operating personnel have access to and are familiar with thesé instructions. Additional copies may be obtained at a small cost per copy by writing to: Hobart Brothers Company, Troy, Ohio 45373. Supply ‘the technical manual no. (TM-G35} plus the model, |[specification, and ‘serial number of your equipment. DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT ‘This unit is a constant-current transformer rectifier type DC welding machine that provides vott-ampere charac- teristic curves that are basically drooping, with a slight slope. See Table 1 for rated output of the model covered by this manual. Modet Load | No Load Duty No. |Amps| Volts | Volts | kw oye R400] 400] 36 | 80 [144] 60x Table 1 CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS POSITIVE TERMINAL (+) — Serves as connection point for the welding lead to the workpiece when straight polarity is used. ARC FORCE AMPERE CONTROL — Varies the short-cirouit-(welding arc) current and produces an in- ‘crease of amperage when arc length is shortened, such as in a tight groove. This control provides more are force ‘and eliminates the tendency of snuffing out the arc, ‘when using electrode manipulation. The control is ‘especially suited for use with E-6010 and E:7018 elec- ‘trodes for pipe welding applications. See NOTE at Paragraph 5 in OPERATION section, CURRENT CONTROL LOCAL/REMOTE SWITCH = Selects either the local (pane! mounted) current con- ‘trol, or some remote control device to control welding May 26778 June 5/79 Revised current. NOTE: See OPERATION section for details on setting all controls. REMOTE CONTROL RECEPTACLE — Serves as @ ‘connection point for the Remote Control Pendent. CONTACTOR CONTROL —_LOCAL/REMOTE SWITCH — In LOCAL (UP) position, the SCR (silicon Controlled rectifiers) are energized, and open-circuit Voltage is applied to welding output terminals. In RE- MOTE (DOWN) position, a remote switch must be used. NEGATIVE TERMINAL (.) ~ Serves as a connection point for the electrode lead, when on straight polarity. FUSE -3A. CONTACTOR “ON” PILOT LIGHT — Indicates when the contactor is closed for power ON mode of ‘the unit. INPUT CONTACTOR CONTROL ON/OFF SWITCH This toggle switch is the master power switch for the ‘welding machine, and must be in the ON position be- ‘ore any other section will operate. The primary circuit of the control transformer is energized whenever line voltage is present at the input terminals. This switch ‘loses the secondary circuit of the control transformer, ‘energizing the contactor, which energizes the power ‘transformer. See “DANGER” on Safety Weming Page. Page 1 CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS (Continued) RANGE SWITCH, LOW/HIGH — The welding cur- rent range suitable for the work application and elec- trode selection will be selected by this switch. See Table 2 for current ranges. CURRENT CONTROL — Adjusts the welding cur- rent. See Table 2 for ranges of control. METERS (Optional) — Provision for welding am- ‘meter and voltmeter is made. On SPEC numbers 6038-2, 6039-2, 6040-2, 6041-2, ‘and 6042-2 machines, a thermostat to control the start- ing and stopping of the cooling fan motor is present, When the machine reaches its intemal operating tem- Anput Contactor ~ Range Switch f ON/OFF.

Remove cabinet ‘op for access to changeover CONNECTING WELDING MACHINE TO LINE VOLTAGE — The input power cable should be con- nected to the welding machine through a fused discon- ect switch, furnished by the user. A hole is provided in the back panel of the welding machine, near the upper righthand comer, for the entry of the input power cable. Remove cabinet top for acosss to all connection points. Consult local electrical codes for power cable and fuse sizes, or if none exist, refer to the National Electri- cal Code or to Table 4. WARNING: Make sure line voltage is tumed off before making any connéc- tions.
