WARNING

Mar ‘95

ELECTRIC AND

MAGNETIC FIELDS

may be dangerous

2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes

localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding

current creates EMF fields around welding cables and

welding machines

2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and

welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician

before welding.

2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health

effects which are now not known.

2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to

minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:

2.d.1.

Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure

them with tape when possible.

2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.

2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode and

work cables. If the electrode cable is on your right

side, the work cable should also be on your right side.

2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as

possible to the area being welded.

2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.

1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the

radiator pressure cap when the engine is

hot.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNINGS

SAFETY

ARC RAYS can burn.

4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover

plates to protect your eyes from sparks and

the rays of the arc when welding or observing

open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens

should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.

4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant

material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from

the arc rays.

4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable

screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose

themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can

kill.

3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits

are electrically “hot” when the welder is on.

Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare

skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free

gloves to insulate hands.

3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.

Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full

area of physical contact with work and ground.

In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding

must be performed under electrically hazardous

conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet

clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or

scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,

kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or

accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use

the following equipment:

• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.

• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.

• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.

3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,

electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic

welding gun are also electrically “hot”.

3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical

connection with the metal being welded. The connection

should be as close as possible to the area being welded.

3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical

(earth) ground.

3.f.

Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and

welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace

damaged insulation.

3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.

3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of

electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage

between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage

of both welders.

3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect

yourself from a fall should you get a shock.

3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.

FUMES AND GASES

can be dangerous.

5.a.Welding may produce fumes and gases

hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these

fumes and gases.When welding, keep

your head out of the fume. Use enough

ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep

fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When

welding with electrodes which require special

ventilation such as stainless or hard facing (see

instructions on container or MSDS) or on lead or

cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings

which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as

low as possible and below Threshold Limit Values (TLV)

using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In

confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a

respirator may be required. Additional precautions are

also required when welding on galvanized steel.

5.b.

Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon

vapors

coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.

The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors

form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating

products.

5.c. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and

cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,

especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.

5.d. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this

equipment and the consumables to be used, including the

material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your

employer’s safety practices. MSDS forms are available from

your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.

5.e. Also see item 1.b.

Mar ‘95

FOR ELECTRICALLY

powered equipment.

8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect

switch at the fuse box before working on

the equipment.

8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National

Electrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturer’s

recommendations.

8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National

Electrical Code and the manufacturer’s recommendations.

CYLINDER may explode

if damaged.

7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders

containing the correct shielding gas for the

process used and properly operating

regulators designed for the gas and

pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for

the application and maintained in good condition.

7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely

chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.

7.c. Cylinders should be located:

•Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to

physical damage.

•A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and

any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.

7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other

electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.

7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet

when opening the cylinder valve.

7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand

tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for

use.

7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas

cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l,

“Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in

Cylinders,” available from the Compressed Gas Association

1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

SAFETY

iii

Mar ‘95

WELDING SPARKS can

cause fire or explosion.

6.a.

Remove fire hazards from the welding area.

If this is not possible, cover them to prevent

the welding sparks from starting a fire.

Remember that welding sparks and hot

materials from welding can easily go through small cracks

and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near

hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.

6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site,

special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous

situations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI

Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the

equipment being used.

6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode

circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact

can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.

6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the

proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures

will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances

inside. They can cause an explosion even

though

they have

been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended

Safe Practices for the

Preparation

for Welding and Cutting of

Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous

Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society

(see address above).

6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or

welding. They may explode.

6.f.

Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil

free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,

cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear

ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.

Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a

welding area.

6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding

area as practical. Work cables connected to the building

framework or other locations away from the welding area

increase the possibility of the welding current passing

through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate cir-

cuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains

or cables until they fail.

6.h. Also see item 1.c.

SAFETY

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ

Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions

et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans ce

manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suiv-

antes:

Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc

1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:

a. Les circuits à l’électrode et à la piéce sont sous tension

quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours

tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue

ou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans

trous pour isoler les mains.

b. Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand on

soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher

metallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans

les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grande

partie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.

c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble

de soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état

defonctionnement.

d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau pour le

refroidir.

e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension

des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souder

parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le

total de la tension à vide des deux machines.

f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de

courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions

pour le porte-électrode s’applicuent aussi au pistolet de

soudage.

2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protéger

contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais

enrouler le câble-électrode autour de n’importe quelle partie

du corps.

3. Un coup d’arc peut être plus sévère qu’un coup de soliel,

donc:

a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié

ainsi qu’un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du ray-

onnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude ou

quand on regarde l’arc.

b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la

peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de

l‘arc.

c. Protéger l’autre personnel travaillant à proximité au

soudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflammables.

4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de l’arc de

soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres

de l’huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pan-

talons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.

5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de

soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les

zones où l’on pique le laitier.

6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de

prévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.

7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de

la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un

échauffement et un risque d’incendie.

8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible

de la zone de travail qu’il est pratique de le faire. Si on place

la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autres

endroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque

de voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de lev-

age, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer

des risques d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et des

câbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils se rompent.

9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.

Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles

galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui

produit des fumeés toxiques.

10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant

d’opérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La

chaleur ou les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs

du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)

ou autres produits irritants.

11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté,

voir le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA

Standard W 117.2-1974.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR

LES MACHINES À SOUDER À

TRANSFORMATEUR ET À

REDRESSEUR

1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de

l’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif

de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une

bonne mise à la terre.

2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du poste seront

effectués par un électricien qualifié.

3. Avant de faires des travaux à l’interieur de poste, la debranch-

er à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles.

4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur

place.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Have an electrician install and ser-

vice this equipment.

• Turn the input power off at the fuse

box, disconnect supply lines and

allow machine to sit for five minutes

minimum to allow the power capaci-

tors to discharge before working

inside this equipment.

• Do not touch electrically hot parts.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION

The Invertec will operate in harsh environments. Even

so, it is important that simple preventative measures

are followed in order to assure long life and reliable

operation.

• The machine must be located where there is free cir-

culation of clean air such that air movement in the

sides and out the sides will not be restricted.

• Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the machine

should be kept to a minimum. Failure to observe

these precautions can result in excessive operating

temperatures and nuisance shutdown.

• The machines have a protection rating of IP23. Keep

the machines dry when possible. Do not place them

on wet ground or in puddles.

STACKING

These Invertecs cannot

be stacked.

TILTING

Place the machine directly on a secure, level surface.

The machine may topple over if this procedure is not

followed.

HIGH FREQUENCY PRECAUTIONS

If possible locate the Invertec away from radio con-

trolled machinery. The normal operation of the

Invertec may adversely affect the operation of RF con-

trolled equipment, which may result in bodily injury or

damage to the equipment.

INPUT SUPPLY CONNECTIONS

Be sure the voltage, phase and frequency of the input

power is as specified on the rating plate, located on

the rear of the machine.

Both models are supplied with an input supply cable

with a molded plug. The V130-S has a 50A molded

plug and the V100-S is shipped with a molded 15A

plug and an additional 20A plug that can replace the

15A plug when necessary to achieve 85A output. To

install the supplied 20A plug: Connect the white (neu-

tral) wire under terminal clamp with silver screw, and

black (hot) wire under terminal clamp with brass

screw. Connect green wire under terminal clamp with

green screw. Tighten terminal wire clamp screws

securely. WARNING:

Failure to wire as instructed

may cause personal injury or damage to equipment.

To be installed or checked by an electrician or quali-

fied person only. In order to achieve full output from

the V100-S it is necessary to attach a 30A plug

(NEMA 5-30P).

INPUT FUSE AND SUPPLY WIRE

Refer to the Technical Specifications pages at the

beginning of this chapter for the proper fuse sizes and

supply cable sizes.

• Fuse the input circuit with recommended super lag

fuses or delay type circuit breakers.

• Install the proper fuse in the fuse holder in the main

disconnect panel.

OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

Refer to Figure A.1 for the location of the output terminals.

A quick-disconnect system using Twist-Mate

cable plugs is

used for the welding cable connections. The electrode and

work cables included with the machine have these plugs.

An extra plug is also included with the machine if TIG weld-

ing is desired. Refer to the relevant instructions below for

more information on connecting the machine for either of

these two welding processes.

OUTPUT CONNECTION FOR STICK

WELDING

First determine the proper electrode polarity for the elec-

trode to be used. Consult the electrode data for this infor-

mation. Then connect the output cables to the output termi-

nals corresponding to this polarity. For instance, for DC(+)

welding, connect the electrode cable (which is connected to

the electrode holder) to the “+” output terminal and the work

cable (which is connected to the work clamp) to the “-” out-

put terminal. Insert the connector with the key lining up with

the keyway, and rotate approximately 1/4 turn clockwise;

until the connection is snug. Do not over tighten.

OUTPUT AND GAS CONNECTION

FOR TIG WELDING

These units do not include a TIG torch, but one may be pur-

chased separately and used with these units to do TIG

(GTAW) welding. The Lincoln LA-9 (K859-3 or K859-7 only;

no gas valve) and LA-17V (K860-11 or K860-15 only;

includes gas valve) are recommended for use with these

machines for this purpose; however, any similar TIG torch

can be used.

If the torch to be used does not have a mating Twist-Mate

plug on the end of the power cable, the power cable must

be modified to include one. The LA-9 and LA-17V fall in this

category. Cut off the lug on the end of the power cable and

attach the extra Twist Mate plug included with the machine

to the power cable per the instructions following under

QUICK DISCONNECT PLUG.

Next connect the torch cable to the appropriate output termi-

nal on the machine. Most TIG welding is done with DC(-)

polarity. For this polarity, connect the torch plug to the “-”

output terminal on the machine. Insert the connector with

the key lining up with the keyway, and rotate approximately

1/4 turn clockwise; until the connection is snug. Do not over

tighten. Connect the work cable (which is connected to the

work clamp) to the “+” output terminal in the same way.

Finally, connect the gas hose to the gas regulator on the

cylinder of gas to be used.

The machine can easily be switched between stick and TIG

welding at any time by simply swapping the stick (electrode)

and TIG (torch) cables, and reversing the connection polari-

ty if required.

QUICK DISCONNECT PLUG

A quick disconnect system is used for the welding

cable connections. The electrode and work cables

have the plug attached, on both machines an addition-

al plug is supplied if TIG welding is to be done. The

welding plug included with the machine is designed to

accept a welding cable size of #6 to #4 (10mm

25mm

1. Cut off welding cable lug, if present.

2. Remove .75 in. (19mm) of welding cable insulation.

3. Slide rubber boot onto cable end. The boot end

may be trimmed to match the cable diameter. Use

soap or other nonpetroleum-based lubricant to

help slide the boot over the cable, if needed.

4. Cut 45-50% of the copper strands back 1/4” (6

mm).

5. Fold copper strands over cut strands and insert

into ferrule.

6. Slide the copper ferrule into the brass plug.

7. Tighten set screw to collapse copper tube. Screw

must apply pressure against welding cable. The

top of the set screw will be well below the surface

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Invertec V100-S is a light industrial 100 amp arc

welding power source and the V130-S is a light indus-

trial 130 amp arc welding power source both of which

utilize single phase input power, to produce constant

current output. The welding response of these

Invertecs has been optimized for stick (SMAW) and

TIG (GTAW). Both units are perfect for light industrial

applications where portability is important.

OPERATIONAL FEATURES

The Invertecs provide continuous total range output

current adjustment. Additionally, a “hot start” system

has been built into the welding current control, and

provides a higher striking current to assist ignition of

the arc.

WELDING CAPABILITY

The Invertec V100-S is rated at 100 amps, 15% duty

cycle (based on a 10 minute cycle). It is also rated at

85 amps, 20% duty cycle, and 70 amps, 20% duty

cycle. The Invertec V130-S is rated at 130 amps, 20%

duty cycle (based on a 10 minute cycle). It is also

rated at 105 amps, 60% duty cycle, and 90 amps,

100% duty cycle.

LIMITATIONS

The V100-S and V130-S are not recommended for

pipe thawing.

The V100-S and V130-S should not be powered from

the auxiliary power supply of an engine welder.

Special protection circuits may operate causing loss of

output.

Read and understand this entire section before

operating your machine.

Power Switch - Controls the power input to the

machine. This rocker switch is lighted. When power is

applied to the machine the light is on.

Knob M1 - Potentiometer used to set the value of the

current required by the welding process.

LED 1 - This LED will light up when:

A) The input supply voltage is not within limits

pre-set for correct operation.

V100-S: 95VAC to 125VAC*

V130-S: 200VAC to 255VAC*

B) The machine is overheated as detected by

the internal thermostat.

* Note that input voltages that exceed 20% of nominal

may cause internal damage to the machine.

Output Terminals - These quick disconnect terminals

provide connection points for the electrode and work

cables. For positive polarity welding connect the elec-

trode cable to the positive terminal and the work cable

to the negative terminal. To weld negative polarity

reverse the electrode and work cables.

CONSTANT CURRENT PROCESSES

MANUAL ARC WELDING (STICK)

The Invertec may be utilized as a manual DC arc

welder. The electrode cable and holder and the work

cable and clamp are included.

Excellent stick welding performance is easily achieved

with the following electrodes and current settings:

Machine Electrode Diameter Current

V100-S Fleetweld 35 3/32” Max 90 Amps

Fleetweld 180 3/32”Max 90 Amps

Fleetweld 37 3/32” Max 100 Amps

LH-78 3/32” Max 100 Amps

V130-S Fleetweld 35 1/8” Max 100 Amps

Fleetweld 180 1/8” Max 100 Amps

Fleetweld 37 1/8” Max 115 Amps

LH-78 1/8” Max 130 Amps

TIG WELDING

The Invertecs are capable of scratch start TIG weld-

ing. A TIG torch, and gas supply with regulator are

required.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The machine is electrically protected from producing

excessive currents. The maximum current obtainable

with the V100-S is approximately 120 amps, and that

of the V130-S is approximately 150 amps.

THERMAL PROTECTION

Thermostats protect the machine from excessive

operating temperatures. Excessive temperatures may

be caused by a lack of cooling air or operating the

machine beyond the duty cycle and output rating. If

excessive operating temperature should occur, the

thermostats will prevent output voltage or current.

Thermostats are self-resetting once the machine cools

sufficiently. If the thermostat shutdown was caused by

excessive output or duty cycle and the fan is operating

normally, the Power Switch may be left on and the

reset should occur within a 15 minute period. If the fan

is not operating or if the air flow is obstructed, this

problem must be resolved before continuing.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Have an electrician install and ser-

vice this equipment.

• Turn the input power off at the fuse

box, disconnect supply lines and

allow machine to sit for five minutes

minimum to allow the power capaci-

tors to discharge before working

inside this equipment.

• Do not touch electrically hot parts.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

INPUT FILTER CAPACITOR

DISCHARGE PROCEDURE

The machine has internal capacitors which are

charged to a high voltage during power-on conditions.

This voltage is dangerous and must be discharged

before the machine can be serviced. Discharging is

done automatically by the machine each time the

power is switched off. However, you must allow the

machine to sit for at least 5 minutes to allow time for

the process to take place.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

1. Perform the following preventive maintenance

procedures at least once every thousand hours of

use. It is good practice to keep a preventive main-

tenance record; a record tag attached to the

machine works best.

2. Remove the machine cover (requires a 3 mm hex

key) after allowing the minimum 5 minute power

off requirement to let the input capacitors dis-

charge.

Failure to observe this discharge time requirement

could result in severe electrical shock hazard.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Keeping the machine clean will result in cooler

operation and higher reliability. Be sure to clean

the following areas with a low pressure air

stream.

• Printed circuit boards

• Power switch

• Fan blades

• Louvers

• Heat sink fins

• Output terminals

4. Examine capacitors for leakage or oozing. If any

leakage is noticed, take the unit to an authorized

Lincoln Field Service Shop.

5. Examine the case for breakage. Repair or

replace the case as required. Keep the case in

good condition to ensure that high voltage parts

are protected and correct spacings are main-

tained.

6. Install machine covers and fasteners.
