3 INTRODUCTION

The AristoFeed 30--4 and AristoFeed 48--4 wire feed units are intended for use

with AristoMig power sources.

There are several variants available: see on page 17.

They are totally enclosed, containing four--wheel feeders and the necessary control

electronics.

They are suitable for use with wire on ESAB’s MarathonPact, or on standard

bobbins (standard Ø 300 mm, accessory Ø 440 mm).

The units can be positioned in a choice of ways: on the power source itself, hanging

above the working position, on a support arm or with a wheelset on the floor.

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.

WARNING!

This product is intended for industrial use. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio

interference. It is the user’s responsibility to take adequate precautions.

WARNING!

When welding in an environment with increased electrical danger, only power sources intended

for this environment may be used. These power sources are marked with the symbol .

5.1 Lifting instructions

Ordering number for the lifting eye can be found on page 22.

Note! If another mounting device is used, this should be insulated from the wire feed

unit.

5.2 Terminating resistors

In order to avoid communication interference, the

ends of the CAN bus must be terminated by resistive

loads.

One end of the CAN bus is at the wire feed unit control panel,

which incorporates a terminating resistor. The other end is in

the power source and it must be fitted with a terminating resistor,

as shown in the diagram to the right.

5.3 Connection of multiple wire feed units

When connecting multiple wire feed units (maximum 4), use wire feed units without

control panel (M0) and with control box AristoPendant U8.

Two feed units are to be connected according to the picture.

When connecting more than two feed units, an authorised ESAB service technican

must perform the installation.

6OPERATION

General safety regulations for the handling of the equipment can be found on

page 3. Read through before you start using the equipment!

WARNING!

Assure that the side panels are closed during operation.

To prevent the reel from sliding off the hub: Lock the reel in place by

turning the red knob as shown on the warning label attached next to

the hub.

WARNING!

Rotating parts can cause injury, take great care.

WARNING!

There is a risk of tipping if the wire feed unit is fitted with a counterbalance arm. Secure the

equipment, especially if used on an uneven or sloping surface.

When moving the equipment use intended handle. NOTE! Never pull on the gun.

6.2 Water connection

The wire feed unit with water connection is equipped with a detection system ELP

(ESAB Logic Pump) which checks that the water hoses are connected.

AristoMig 400 and 500

The power unit On/Off switch must be in the “0” position (Off) when connecting a

water--cooled welding gun.

If a water--cooled welding gun is connected, the water pump starts automatically

when the main On/Off switch is turned to “START” and/or when welding starts. After

welding, the pump continues to run for 6,5 minutes, and then switches to the

energy--saving mode.

AristoMig 320 and 450

The power unit On/Off switch for cooling unit must be in the “I” position (ON) when

connecting a water--cooled welding gun.

6.3 Remote control unit

The program version in AristoPendant U8 should be 1.20 or higher. Aristo machines

with intergral control panels should have program version 1.21 or higher, in order for

the remote control to function correctly.

When the remote control unit is connected, the power source and wire feed unit are

in remote control mode; the buttons and knobs are blocked. The functions can only

be adjusted via the remote unit.

If the remote control unit is not to be used, the remote control unit must be

disconnected from the power source / wire feed unit, as otherwise it will remain in

remote control mode.

When a remote control unit is used to set the voltage, the function will be changed to

the setting of current during MMA welding.

For more information about the operation of the remote control unit, see the

operating instructions for the control panel.
