SEnsure your working stance is safe.

FUMES AND GASES −Can be dangerous to health

SKeep your head out of the fumes.

SUse ventilation, extraction at the arc, or both, to take fumes and gases away from your breathing zone

and the general area.

ARC RAYS −Can injure eyes and burn skin.

SProtect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens and wear protective

clothing.

SProtect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.

FIRE HAZARD

SSparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure therefore that there are no inflammable materials nearby.

NOISE −Excessive noise can damage hearing

SProtect your ears. Use earmuffs or other hearing protection.

SWarn bystanders of the risk.

MALFUNCTION −Call for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS!

WARNING!

Read and understand the instruction manual

before installing or operating.

3 INTRODUCTION

ESABMig C240 & ESABMig C240s are step controlled power sources in a compact design, intended

for welding with solid steel, stainless steel or aluminium wire as well as tubular wire with or without

shielding gas.

The possibility of welding with homogeneous wire/shielding gas and welding with gasless tubular wire

is obtained by switching the + and −connections on the switching terminal above the wire feed unit.

ESAB’s accessories for the product can be found on page 19.

3.1 Equipment

The power source is supplied with:

SWelding gun PSF 250 −3m

SReturn cable 3,5m with return clamp

SShelf for gas cylinder

Duty cycle

The duty cycle refers to the time as a percentage of a ten−minute period that you can weld at a cer-

tain load without overloading.

Enclosure class

The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i. e. the degree of protection against penetration by solid

objects or water. Equipment marked IP23 is designed for indoor and outdoor use.

Application class

The symbol indicates that the power source is designed for use in areas with increased

electrical hazard.

5 INSTALLATION

The installation must be executed by a professional.

6.2 Functions explanation

6.2.1 Overheating protection

When the machine is switched on with the mains switch [1], indicating lamp [4] is on and

lamp [5] off −the machine is ready to operate. If the internal temperature becomes too

high, the welding is interrupted and disabled. This state is indicated by lighting of the

orange indicating lamp [5] on the front of the machine. It resets automatically when the

temperature has fallen.

6.2.2 Inductance connection

Higher inductance produces a more flowing weld and fewer spatters. Lower inductance

produces a harsher sound and a stable, concentrated arc.

6.3 ESABMig C240

The ESABMig C240 is equipped with standard control unit. Welder can manually

select and adjust all welding parameters.

SWire speed (1,9 −19m/min).

SSpot−welding time.

SBurn back time.

The machine C240 can be fitted with a digital instrument that displays current and

voltage. It incorporates a hold function (see page 19).
