SAFETY
WARNING
ARC WELDING AND CUTTING CAN BE INJURIOUS TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. TAKE PRECAUTIONS WHEN WELDING. ASK FOR YOUR EMPLOYERS SAFETY PRACTICES WHICH SHOULD BE
BASED ON MANUFACTURERS HAZARD DATA.
ELECTRIC SHOCK -- Can kill
S

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.

WARNING!
Read and understand the instruction manual before installing
or operating.
WARNING!
Do not use the power source for thawing frozen pipes.
INTRODUCTION
LTN 255 are rectifiers designed using inverter technology and are intended for TIG -welding and welding using coated electrodes.
Inverter technology contributes towards low power consumption, a low weight and
compact dimensions.
The advanced electronics with microprocessor control provides, amongst others,
quick regulation and top class welding characteristics.
LTN 255 is equipped with ARC PLUS, a new type of control that with MMA welding
provides a more intensive, more concentrated and smoother arc. It reacts quicker
after a short circuiting drop transfer, which reduces the risk of the electrode sticking.
In addition, the machine is equipped with Arc Force, which means that the power
sources dynamics can be adjusted, softer or harder depending on the type of electrode and the welders preference.
ARC PLUS -- because of the regulators good characteristics it is only necessary to
change the Arc Force settings in exceptional circumstances.
When drop welding using stainless steel electrodes a special feature on the machine
can be activated to facilitate welding.
LTN 255 is available in two designs, one with a central connector and one with an
OKC connector for a TIG torch.
LTN 255 is supplied complete with a 5 metre mains cable, 5 metre return cable, gas
hose and hose clips. Machines with a central connector are also fitted with a safety
bar to protect the connectors from impact.
As an accessory there is a loop handle to fit on the machines which acts as a cable
reel as well protecting the control panel. There are also two carriages available for
transportation with a gas cylinder and cooling unit.
ESABs accessories for the product can be found on page 28.

The welding power sources comply with the requirements set out in IEC 974--1
Cable areas acc. to Swedish regulations.
Duty cycle
The duty cycle refers to the time as a percentage of a ten--minute period that you can weld at a certain load without overloading.
Application class
The symbol
indicates that the power source is designed for use in areas with increased
electrical hazard.
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.

LTN 255 are equipped with mains voltage compensation, which means that a 10 %
variation in the mains voltage only results in a 0,2 % variation in the welding current.
To reduce the voltage drop when using a long cable it can be advisable to select a
heavier cable cross section.

Place the equipment in a suitable place and make sure the rectifier is not covered or set-up so
that cooling is prevented.
Make sure the machine is connected to the correct mains voltage.
Earth according to applicable directives.
Connect the shielding gas.
Connect the TIG torch and the return cable or the MMA welding cables.

When the main power switch is switched on the white indicating lamp, on the front,
comes on.
To take your mind off the risk of overloading the machine it has been equipped with
an integrated thermostat that trips if the temperature becomes too high.
When this occurs the welding current is cut out and the yellow indicating lamp comes
on. In addition, the error code E13 is displayed. When the temperature has
dropped the thermostat automatically resets.

6.1
Control panel
On the front of the machine there is a control panel for the selection of functions and
setting of parameters. This consists of a display, setting knob, LEDs and push--buttons.
By using the push--buttons you can move between the different functions. The selected function is indicated by respective LEDs coming on.
One line at a time is set. The current line is indicated by a red LED. Movement between lines takes place using the red arrow keys.
Movement within each line takes place using the green arrow keys.
All settings are made using the setting knob. The LEDs to the right of the display
indicate the actual unit (ampere/volt/seconds). On the lines where only a function is
selected, ------ is shown on the display.

Press one of the buttons and the power source returns to the normal operating
mode. The set Arc Force value remains. Different Arc Force settings can be stored in
the machines two sets of welding data memory.
Pulse time/Pause time (TIG)
Normally the setting range for these parameters is 0.02--5.0 s. Through pressing the
two green arrows simultaneously for 2 seconds, times down to 0.001 s can be set.
This extended setting range remains until the machine is reset using the same
method. When activating the function the machine should be in the mode for setting
the pulse time/pause time. Note that times below 0.250 s are displayed without the
decimal point.
Remote control
Using the remote control socket on the machine the current can be remotely regulated in TIG and MMA modes.
If pulsed current is selected in TIG mode, it is the pulsed current that is remotely
regulated. The set value from the remote control is shown on the display by stepping
to the position where the current should be set when not using the remote control.
Switching to the remote mode takes place automatically when the unit is connected.
A
This is confirmed by the LED coming on. O
(NOTE! the pins L and M in the remote controls connecting plug must be strapped
for automatic connection to take place).
NOTE!
When using FS002 the slope--up and slope--down times should be set to 0 sec.

Fault tracing
Error Codes
LTN 255 is equipped with integrated error monitoring. If an error should occur then
an error code is displayed. The error codes are as follows:
E01
E02
E03
E04
E05
E06
E10
E11
