Users of ESAB welding equipm ent have the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that
anyone who works on or near the equipment observes all the relevant safety pre-
cautions. Safety precautions must meet the requirements that apply to this type of
welding equipment. The following recommendations should be observed in addition
to the standard regulations that apply to the workplace.
All work m ust be carried out by trained personnel well-acquainted with the oper-
ation of the welding equipment. Incorrect operation of the equipment may lead to
hazardous situations which can result in injury to the operator and damage to the
equipment.
1. Anyone who uses the welding equipment must be familiar with:
S its operation
S location of emergency stops
S its function
S relevant safety precautions
S welding
2. The operator must ensure that:
S no unauthorised person is stationed within the working area of the equipment
when it is started up.
S no-one is unprotected when the arc is struck
3. The workplace must:
S be suitable for the purpose
S be free from draughts
4. Personal safety equipment
S Always wear recommended personal safety equipment, such as safety
glasses, flame-proof clothing, safety gloves.
S Do not wear loose-fitting items, such as scarves, bracelets, rings, etc., which
could become trapped or cause burns.
5. General precautions
S Make sure the r eturn cable is connected securely.
S Work on high voltage equipment may only be carried out by a qualified
electrician.
S Appropriate fire extinquishing equipment must be clearly marked and close
at hand.
S Lubrication and maintenance must not be carried out on the equipment dur-
ing operation.

WARNING
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING.
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 standards.
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 your 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 your 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!

4 Configuration and adjustment
4.1 General
The ESAT service tool is used to configurate and adjust the joint tracking equipment.
For a more detailed description, read the separate manual for the
ESAT ESAB Software Administration Tool.
4.2 Reset function GMH, PAV
General reset or Hardware reset must be carried out when changing product ID for
the circuit card.
4.2.1 ESAT General reset
A General reset is made by calling the ESAT service function:
1. Select “Service functions”
2. Set Service fu n ctio n = 4 Reset
3. Set Argument 2 = General reset.
The following takes place when a General reset is carried out:
S The circuit card' s "flash" memory is reset.
S Factory settings are set depending on the machine type selected.
4.2.2 Hardware reset
The hardware r eset can be carried out without CAN-communication operating on the
circuit card.
To reset the hardware:
1. Turn the machine OF F .
2. Place a jumper between CN23:1, CN23:2 and CN23:3.
3. Turn the machine ON
4. Wait until the LED indicator D10 indicates with a green flashing light.
5. Turn the machine OF F
6. Restore the jumper on CN 23. Place the jumper between CN23:1 and CN23:2.
The following takes place when a Hardware reset is carried out:
S The circuit card' s "flash" memory is reset.
S Factory settings are set depending on the machine type selected.
S Resets the bus speed to 500 kb/sec
S Sets the node address to 6.

4.2.3 Changing product ID (= Machine type code)
The ESAT function, "Assign machine type code" can be used to change to another
product ID, for products on page 10.
To change product id:
1. Select “Service functions”
2. Set Service fu n ction = 29. Assign machine type code.
3. Select the product code you want to activate.
4. Restart the machine. The new product ID is read during start-up.
5. Perform a General reset or a Hardware reset, see on page 9.
4.3 Selection of sensor for GMH
The GMH can be used together with two different types of sensors.
One is ESAB's standard sensor finger, the other is an inductive sensor.
The GMH leaves the factory set for use with ESAB's sensor finger.
If an inductive sensor is to be used, the following procedure must be taken:
1. Connect the inductive sensor
2. Select the product code you want to activate.
The Assign machine type co d e can be changed with ESAT service function
29.
3. Restart the equipment
4. Reset with ESAT service function 4 “Reset” and Set default settings.
4.3.1 The following machine type codes are available

4.4 Connection of Inductive sensor
When using the Inductive sensor, connect the jumpers X1:15-16 and X1:16-19.
See the figure below.

hza1d3ea
4.5 Adjusting the sensor fingers working area
Automatic joint tracking is only possible when the sensor finger is in the working area
or in the ideal position. If the sensor finger is outside the working area the joint
tracking system will be stopped.
If a long cable is used the sensor fingers signal may be so low that the sensor is
always outside of the working area. In this case an adjustment of the working area
must be made.
4.5.1 Adjusting the parameter ”working area max”
The factory setting for the parameter working area max is 700.
1. Let the sensor finger hang free in the air and read the parameter working area
max with ESAT. If the parameter working area max is below 700 the sensor
finger will always be inside the working area.
2. If necessary write a value of about 50 below the parameter value that has been
read in point 1 (see above). Do a test run.
The figure below describes the different joint tracking modes.

S Max Value 255 (fast regulation)
S Min value 1 (slow regulation)
4.8 Adjusting the manual jog speed
Jog high speed
S Set's how fast the motor speed shall be when driving the motors with the
Joystick in high speed mode.
S The factory settings are 150. 60V*150/256=35V motor voltage
