§1 SAFETY
§1.1 Signal Explanation
●The above signals mean warning ! Notice ! Running parts and getting an electric shock or thermal parts will take damage for your body or others. The corresponding notices are as follows. It is quite a safe operation after taking several necessary protection measures.
§1.2 ARC WELDING DAMAGE
●The following signals and word explanations are to some damages for your body or others happening on the welding operation. While seeing these, please remind of yourself or others to be dangerous.
●Only ones who are trained professionally can install, debug, operate, maintain and repair the equipment.
●During the operation, non-concerned people should be lift, especially for children.
●After shut off the machine power, please maintain and examine the equipment according to §5 because of the DC voltage existing in the electrolytic capacitors.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL
●Never touch electrical parts.
●Wear dry, hole-free gloves and clothes to insulate yourself.
●Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation. Making certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full area of physical contact with work and ground.
●Take carefully when using the equipment in small place, falling-off and wet circumstance.
●Never close the machine power before installation and adjustment.
Ensure to install the equipment correctly and ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical (earth) ground according to the operation manual.
●The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the wleder is on. Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.
●In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode, electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic welding gun are also electrically “hot”.
●Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical connection with the metal being welded.The connection should be as close as possible to the area being welded.
●Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace damaged insulation.
●Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
●Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage of both welders.
●When working above the floor level, use a safety belt to protect yourself from a fall should you get a shock.
FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS.
●Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases. When welding, keep your head out of the fume. Use enough ventilation and /or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When welding with electrode which require special ventilation such as stainless or hard facing or on lead or cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as low as possible and below Threshold Limit Values using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a respirator may be required. Additional precautions are also required when welding on galvanized steel.
●Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.
●Shielded gases used for arc welding can displace air and cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation, especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.
●Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this equipment and the consumables to be used, including the material safety data sheet and follow your employer’s safety practices.
ARC RAYS CAN BURN
●Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing open arc welding.
●Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from the arc rays.
●Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
SELF-PROTECTION
●Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices in position and in good repair. Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from V-belts, gears, fans and all other moving parts when starting, operating or repairing equipment.
●Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do not attempt to override the governor or idler by pushing on the throttle control rods while the engine is running.
DO NOT adds the fuel near an open flame welding arc or when the engine is running. Stop the engine and allow it to cool before refueling to prevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on contact with hot engine parts and igniting. Do not spill fuel when filling tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start engine until fumes have been eliminated.
WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion.
●Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot material from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
●Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous situation.
●When no welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.
●Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances inside. They can cause an explosion even though they have been “cleaned”.
●Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding. They may explode.
●Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuff less trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a welding area.
●Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding area as practical. Work cables connected to the building framework or other locations away from the welding area increase the possibility of the welding current passing through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail.
ROTATING PARTS MAY BE DANGEROUS
●Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for the application and maintained in good condition.
●Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained ro an undercarriage or fixed support.
●Cylinders should br located:
- Away from areas where they maybe struck or subjected to physical damage.
- A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.
●Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
●Kepp your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve.
●Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for use.
§1.3 The knowledge of electric and magnetic fields
Electric current flowing through any conductor cause localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). The discuss on the effect of EMF is ongoing all the world. Up to now, no material evidences show that EMF may have effects on health. However, the research on damage of EMF is still ongoing. Before any conclusion, we should minimize exposure to EMF as few as possible.
In order to minimize EMF, we should use the following procedures:
●Route the electrode and work cables together – secure them with tape when possible.
●All cables should be put away and far from the operator.
●Never coil the power cable around your body.
●Make sure welding machine and power cable to be far away from the operator as far as possible according to the actual circumstance.
●Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being welded.
●The people with heart-pacemaker should be away from the welding area.
2 SUMMARY
This operation manual is suitable for the models of ZX7 100, 130, 160, 160CEL, 180, 180CEL, 200.
§2.1 Brief Introduction
ZX7 series welders are general MMA arc welder which adopts the latest pulse width modulation (PWM) technology and the insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) power module. It can change work frequency to medium frequency so as to replace the traditional hulking work frequency transformer with the cabinet medium frequency transformer. Thus, it is characterized with portable, small size, low consumption and etc.
ZX7 series have excellent performances: constant current output makes welding arc more stable; fast dynamic response speed reduces the impact from the arc length fluctuation to the current; accurate stepless current adjustment and pre-setting function. There are also some automatic protection functions for under voltage, over current, over heat, etc. inside the welders, when the problems listed before occurred, the alarm on the front panel is light and at the same time the ourput current will be cut off. It can self-protect and prolong the using life and greatly improved the reliability and practicability of the welders.
ZX7 series welders can also realize TIG operation. While MMA operation, if the electrode touches workpiece over two seconds, the welding current will drop to the minimum current automatically to protect the electrode. While TIG operation, the minimum current will be outputted firstly until the arc is ignited by lifting method, the output current will rise to the preset value, which can protect the electrode. At the same time, the arc force and hot start will be provided with MMA operation.
MMA --------- Manual Metal Arc welding
PWM ------------ Pulse – Width Modulation
IGBT ------------- Insulation Gate Bipolar Transistor
TIG --------------- Tungsten Inert Gas welding
§2.2 Working Principle
The working principle of ZX7-series welder is shown as the following figure. Single phase 220V/230V±10% work frequency ( 50/60 HZ ) AC is rectified into DC (about 300V), then is converted to medium frequency AC ( about 20KHz ) by inverter device ( IGBT module ), after reducing voltage by medium transformer ( the main transformer ) and rectified by medium frequency rectifier ( fast recovery diodes), and is outputted by inductance filtering. The circuit adopts current feedback control technology to insure current output stably. Meanwhile, the welding current parameter can be adjusted continuously and steplessly to meet with the requirements of welding craft.
§2.3 Volt-Ampere Characteristic
ZX7- series welder have excellent volt-ampere characteristic, seeing the following graph. In MMA welding, the replation between the rated loading voltage U2 and welding current I2 is as follows:
When I2=<600A, U2=20+0.04I2 (V); when I2 > 600A, U2=44 (V)

§3.2 Duty cycle & Over heat
The letter “X” stands for duty cycle, which is defined as the proportion of the time that a machine can work continuously within a certain time （10 minutes）. The rated duty cycle means the proportion of the time that a machine can work continuously within 10 minutes when it outputs the rated welding current.
The relation between the duty cycle “X” and the output welding current “I” is shown as the right figure.
If the welder is over-heat, the IGBT over-heat protection unit inside it will output an instruction to cut output welding current, and brighten the over-heat pilot lamp on the front panel. At this time, the machine should be relaxed for 15 minutes to cool the fan. When operating the machine again, the welding output current or the duty cycle should be reduced.
§3.3 Welding polarity connection way
§3.3.1 MMA (take ZX7 – 160 for an example)
Choosing the connection of DCEN or DCEP is based on the arc stable burning condition. The different electrodes need different connection way. Please refer to the electrode manual.
§3.3.2 TIG (take ZX7 – 160 for an example)
●When TIG operation, the shielded gas is inputted to welding gun directly, and the method of lifting arc is adopted.
Stricking arc of TIG operation: when tungsten electrode touches the workpiece, the short-circuit current is only 10A. After generating arc, current can rise to the setting welding current. If ther tungesten electrode touches the workpiece when welding, the current will drop to 10A within 2s, which can reduce the tungsten spoilage farthestly, prolong the using life of the tungsten electrode, and prevent tungsten clipping.

ZX7 – series welder has the function of welding current pre-setting. Before welding, adjusting wedling current, the welding current display will show the ampere. It is convenient to set parameters and adjust accurately.
§4.3 Welding operation
§4.3.1 Striking arc way
● Knocking arc: take the electrode upright to touch the workpiece, after forming short circuit, quickly lift up about 2-4 mm, and arc will be ignited. This method is difficult to master. But in the welding for the brittle or hard steel, it is better to use knocking way.
● Lifting arc: take the electrode to scrape the workpiece for striking arc. But it may cause the arc scratch, so must to lift arc in the groove.
§4.3.2 Manipulation of electrode
In MMA welding, there are three motions to being matched in the end of electrode: the electrode moving to the molten pool along axes; the electrode swing right and left; the electrode moving along welding way.
The operator can choose the manipulation of electrode based on welding joint sharp, welding position, electrode spec, welding current and operation skill, etc.
The details please refer to <Welding Dictionary> P69, Volume 1 of Edition 2.
§4.4 Welding parameters
§4.4.1 Joint form in MMA
In MMA welding, the common basic joint form: butt joint, lap joint, corner joint & T joint.
§4.4.2 Electrode selection
The electrode diameter selection is based on the workpiece thickness, welding position, joint form, welding layer, etc. Please refer to the following table.

Volume 1 of Edition2
●Electrode should be drying according to user manual before using. For reducing the hydrogen of the molten pool and welding seam, and avoiding the blowhole and cold crack.
●In the welding process, the arc must not be too long; otherwise, it will cause unstable arc burning, large spatter, light penetration, undercut, blowhole, etc. if the arc is too short, it will cause electrode stick.
●In MMA welding the arc length is usually equal to 0.5 – 1.0 time of the electrode diameter. The basic electrode’s arc length is not beyond the electrode diameter, it is better to choose the short arc welding; the acid electrode’s arc length is equal to the electrode diameter.
