REHM SCHWEISSTECHNIK
This short manual does not substitute the original operator manual.
Please read this document carefully before your start operating the welding power source.
1 Safety Instructions
This models of welding power sources have been developed according to the
generally recognized rules of technology. Nevertheless, their use can lead to a
risk for life and limb of the user or third parties or might lead to damages of the
system or other property. You should therefore read this document completely
and thoroughly before starting up the welding machine.

• Safety and warning notices are used for occupational safety and accident
prevention.
They must be observed. Not only the general safety instructions listed here
must be
observed but also the safety and warning information in the original manual.
• In addition to the information in these brief instructions, the general safety and
accident prevention regulations have to be considered. They differ from
country to
country (German: UVV BGV A3, TRBS 2131, BGR 500 Chapter 2.26 „Wel-
ding, cutting
and allied processes“). In addition the specific regulations for welding are
relevant.
• Please notify also the safety information signs in this document.
• As a matter of principle, no safety devices may be dismantled or put out of
operation,
as this poses a risk and the intended use of the system is no longer guaran-
teed.
Dismantling of safety devices when setting up, repairing and maintaining is
specially
described. The safety devices must be reassembled immediately after this
work has
been completed.
• Changes to the system, the attachment or installation of additional equipment
and
external the use of safety devices is not permitted. This invalidates the
guarantee and
the reliability claim.
• If external agents are used (e.g. solvents for cleaning), the operator of the
system must
guarantee the safety of the system during use.
• Except when this is expressly stated in writing by REHM, REHM welding
systems are
only intended for sale to commercial / industrial users and only for their use.

The MIG/MAG welding systems are designed according to EN 60974-1 arc

welding equipment - welding power sources for overvoltage category III and
pollution degree 3 and according to EN 60974-10 arc welding equipment - elec-
tromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for group 2 class A and are suitable for use in all
areas , except residential areas that are directly connected to a public low-voltage
supply system. Both conducted and radiated interference can make it difficult to
ensure electromagnetic compatibility in these areas. For this purpose, the observance
of suitable measures to meet the requirements (filters for mains connection, shielding
such as the use of shielded lines, welding lines that are as short as possible, earthing
of the workpiece, equipotential bonding) as well as the assessment of the environment
(such as computers, control equipment, sound and television broadcast transmitters,
neighboring Persons, e.g. when using a pacemaker). The user is responsible for faults.

Qualification of the operating personnel

REHM welding systems may only be used by persons who are trained in the use,
operating and maintenance of the welding systems.
Only qualified, authorized and instructed personnel may work on and with the systems.
 Personal protective equipment (PPE)

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is mandatory when working with a welding

system:
• Welding protection filter, protection level 10-15
• Protective shield, screen or hood
• Welding gloves
• Leather apron
The company is obliged to provide the operator with the necessary PPE.
Intended Use
The MIG / MAG welding systems are only to be used
• for MIG / MAG or manual electrode welding for hand-guided and machine-guided
operation (see original operating instructions)
• for welding metallic materials (such as steels, copper, titanium and aluminum)
• in a perfectly safe condition
Environmental conditions
• Temperature range of the ambient air:
- In operation: -10 ° C to + 40 ° C (14 ° F to 104 ° F)
- During transport and storage: -20 ° C to + 55 ° C (-4 ° F to 131 ° F)
• Relative humidity
- up to 50% at 40 ° C (104 ° F)
- up to 90% at 20 ° C (68 ° F)
• Ambient air:

socket

Socket is placed on the backside of the display unit inside the

accessable area of wire feeder unit. If the display is placed in the
power source instead of the wire feeder unit in machine type
„Separated“ the USB socket stayes in the feeder ubit.
APP Update per Smartphone APP

APP The Smartphone APP is available for android and ios.

Home- In the service area on website of Rehm you will find the newest
page files and characteristics but the APP is downloading the files
automatic after connecting to the welding machine.
Indication field AF5 shows if WLAN in the machine is active.

If it isn‘t, please go to the SETUP menu and activate the WLAN

node. After switching on the machine please wait a while until
you find the machine ID in the search table of your smartphone.
Typical ID looks like „FOCUS ARC 3x-e4-5f-8c“
In the SETUP menu unter the rider „Diagnose“ the network ID is
indicated.
Sometimes after Update of UI (BDE) WLAN node is inactive.
Please go on like descripted before to switch it on again.
APP Update per Smartphone APP

Connection: Please connect the WLAN node Id of the welding

machine to your smartphone and start the APP. Release code for
the network connection is currently (12345678).
The APP allows also the setting and
indication of machine parameters and
values.

Firmware Updates:

It‘s really important to understand

that machine switches to boot mode
during update. It is impossible to weld in
boot mode!
When updating UI the screen gets dark
without any signs on it.
Don‘t switch off the machine if update of
one component is active

The Smartphone transfers update files to

the
Update Server in the machine. The
connection between Smatphone and
machine must persist to receive statusin-
formation on the Smartphone

If update is ready - message „Successful“

- a power off/on need to be generated.
 APP Update per Smartphone APP

Important The update time for all components could take up to 30 minutes.
Take care that the accu of your Smartphone ischarged.

If Smartphone goes into Standby mode the communication stays

active in the background. Please do not switch off the Smartpho-
ne or swicht of the WLAN connection.
Transfer time Welding control board ST ca. 5 min.
Motor driver board MK ca. 2 min.
User Interface DBE ca. 20 min.
Characteristic Group KNG ca. 6 min.

Important please follow the instructions shown on your Smartphone and if

requested switch OFF/ON the machine.
Important If data transfer or download stopps or the Update is not success-
ful then switch off the machine, wait minimum 30 sexonds and
switch it on again. Please try to establisch the WLAN connection
again and repeat the failed update.
The Bootloader in the machine can not be overwritten so that a
new download is always possible.
8 Error handling
Safety notes
If a fault occurs that represents a hazard for people, the system
or the environment shut down the system immediately and secu-
re it against being switched on again.
• Faults can only be carried out by qualified personnel.
It‘s mandatory to follow the safety instructions.
• Do not put the system back into operation until the reason of the
fault has been eliminated and there is no longer any danger to
people, the system or the environment.
• Before restarting, the system must be approved by qualified
personnel.
