WARNING
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERAT ING.
ARC WELDING AND CUTTING CAN BE INJURIOUS TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. TAKE PRECAU-
TIONS WHEN WELDING. ASK FOR YOUR EMPLOYER’S SAFETY PRACTICES WHICH SHOULD BE
BASED ON MANUFACTURERS’ HAZARD DATA.
ELECTRIC SHOCK -- Can kill
S Install and earth the welding unit in accordance with applicable s tandards.
S Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or wet clothing.
S Insulate yourself from earth and the workpiece.
S Ensure your working stance is safe.
FUMES AND GASES -- Can be dangerous to health
S Keep your head out of the fumes.
S Use 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.
S Protect y our eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens and wear protective
clothing.
S Protect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.
FIRE HAZARD
S Sparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure therefore that there are no inflammable materials nearby.
NOISE -- Excessive noise can damage hearing
S Protect y our ears. Use earmuffs or other hearing protection.
S Warn bystanders of the risk.
MALFUNCTION -- Call for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS!
WARNING
This product is intended for industrial use. In a domestic environment this

2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 General
TAF 800/1250 are remote--controlled, two--phase AC welding power sources
designed for high--throughput, mechanised submerged--arc welding (SAW).
They should always be used in conjunction with ESAB’s control box
A2--A6 Process Controller (PEH).
The welding power source converts, via a thyristor bridge--rectifier, the secondary
voltage’s sine wave to a square wave with excellent arc ignition and welding
characteristics. They are fan cooled and are overload protected by a thermal
cut--out. Re--setting takes place automatically as soon as the temperature has
reduced to an acceptable level.
The welding power source and control box are connected together via a two--wire
bus, which makes it possible to control the welding process very precisely.
Adjustment of the welding power source can be carried out from the front panel of
the control box, where all the welding parameters can be adjusted by the operator.
The operation of the welding power source is controlled and monitored completely
by the control box, from which the start and stop characteristics can be set.
The pre--set welding parameters can be monitored while welding is in progress.
For more detailed information regarding the settings and the working mode of the
welding power source, please r efer to the A2--A6 Process Controller (PEH)
instruction m anual.

and fuse it with an adequate fuse according to
applicable local directions (see table on page 8).
S Connect the earth cable to the screw marked .
S Tighten the cable support (1).
S Connect the mains cable to the main terminal
blocks L1 and L3.
S Connect the control cable between the TAF
welding power source and the control unit to the
28--pole contact (2) inside the welding power
source.

3.4 PC board
The PC board (AP1) has two DIP switches (SW1 and SW2) which are preset on
delivery. The settings are not to be changed.
When spare parts are installed the settings of the DIP switches must be checked
(and set, if necessary) before fitting the PC board into the welding power source.
3.4.1 DIP switch SW1
To make the communication with the
A2--A6 Process Controller work,
DIP switch 1 (SW1) must be set.
Setting of DIP switch SW1:
S Set pole 6 to “OFF” position and all
other poles to “ON”.
3.4.2 DIP switch SW2
DIP switch 2 (SW2) must be set in order to
inform the A2--A6 process controller about the
rating of the power source that is connected.
Setting of DIP switch SW2:
S TAF 800
Set pole 1 to “OFF“ position and all other poles to “ON“.
S TAF 1250
Set pole 2 to “OFF” position and all other poles
to “ON”.
