4 INSTALLTION
Installation shall be executed by competent and authorised person.
Connect the mains cable and protect it with appropriate fuse in conformance with local regulations.
Unit must be protected from dust, dirt and overheating. A distance of minimum 300 mm must be kept
between the LKB 160 and other obstacles that may block air-flow through the unit.

4.2 UNPACKING
A. Unpack the equipment and check that there is no obvious damage. Notify supplier (distributor) if any
faults or damage are apparent.
B. Check if no parts are left in packing before disposal.
C. Check if all ventilation openings are opened and unblocked.

5 OPERATION
5.1 CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
Fig.5.1 LKB160 front panel view
Fig.5.2 View of control panel in wire feed unit compartment for LKB.
A. POWER ON/OFF SWITCH AND WELDING VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT – Turning this switch to one of
seven positions ‘1÷7’ applies power to the unit. The green LED diode (B) will illuminate indicating that
power is supplied to the equipment. Cooling fan will also be switched on. Welding voltage adjustment is
carried out by means of turning this switch.
WARNING: Operating this switch during the welding process (loaded power source) can cause
damage to unit!
B. OVERHEATING The orange signal LED diode will illuminate in the event of overheating. The welding
output is automatically disabled until the LKB reaches normal temperature. Should this indicator
illuminate leave the power source a few minutes to cool down. Do not switch the power source off as
this will remove the power from the cooling fans. The unit will be ready to resume welding when the
orange indicator has turned off.
C. DIGITAL METER indicates actual values of current or welding voltage. The toggle switch allows you to
select either voltage or current display. The LKB160 is supplied without a meter. The meter kit is supplied
as an optional extra and has a last reading hold facility.
36
D. POTENTIOMETER with switch – to switch on spot welding and impulse time (for spot welding) – in the
range of 0,5 ÷ 4 s.
E. POTENTIOMETER to set wire feed speed (in the range of 1,4 ÷ 19 m/min).
F. POTENTIOMETER of burnback time regulation .
G. CONNECTION (Euro connection) to connect welding torch
H. OUTPUT SOCKET to connect return cable with clamp
I. MODE SELECTOR: CREEP START 50% - 100% - 70%
6 MAINTENANCE
WARNING: All guarantee obligations of producer are nullified if customer attempts to repair any
faults by himself.
6.1 CLEANING
The LKB 160 should be regularly blown down with dry, compressed air at a low pressure. If unit is used in
dirty or dusty environment it shall be cleaned more often. Otherwise ventilation openings can be blocked
which can result in overheating.
7 SPARE PARTS ORDERING
When ordering spare parts, please state machine type, serial number, designation and spare part number as
shown is spare parts list. It will simplify dispatch and ensure you get the right part.
