Setup Instructions

1. Prepare Power Supply: Ensure your external power supply (e.g., 18650 battery pack, car battery) provides a voltage between 8V and 24V DC and can deliver sufficient current for welding.
2. Connect Power Input:
   • Connect the red input power cable to the positive (+) terminal of your power supply and the positive input terminal on the GX591 board.
   • Connect the black input power cable to the negative (-) terminal of your power supply and the negative input terminal on the GX591 board.
   • Alternatively, use the TX60 interface for power input if your power supply has a compatible connector.
   • Important: Observe correct polarity to prevent damage to the device. The board is marked for correct connection.
3. Connect Welding Pens:
   • Connect the red welding pen to the "Pen Output +" terminal.
   • Connect the black welding pen to the "Pen Output -" terminal.
   • Ensure connections are secure.
4. Optional Foot Switch: If using a foot switch, connect it to the designated foot switch interface.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Once the power supply is connected, the digital display will illuminate, showing the current gear setting (e.g., "0.01" for gear 1). The device automatically displays the input voltage when connected to the power supply.
2. Adjust Welding Gear:
   • Press the SW2 (+) button to increase the welding gear.
   • Press the SW1 (-) button to decrease the welding gear.
   • There are 99 adjustable gears. Start with a lower gear (e.g., 10-20) and gradually increase until a satisfactory weld is achieved for your specific nickel strip thickness and battery type.
   • Note: Higher gears provide more power, suitable for thicker nickel strips (up to 0.2mm).
3. Perform Spot Welding:
   • Place the nickel strip firmly against the battery terminal.
   • Position both welding pen tips onto the nickel strip, ensuring good contact and even pressure. The tips should be close together but not touching each other.
   • The device will automatically detect contact and initiate a weld after a short delay (usually 0.5-1 second). A buzzer sound indicates a successful weld.
   • If using a foot switch, press the foot switch to trigger the weld.
   • Inspect the weld. If it's too weak, increase the gear. If it burns through the nickel or battery, decrease the gear.
4. Power Off: To turn off the device, press and hold the SW2 (+) button for a few seconds until the display turns off. Alternatively, disconnect the power supply.

Maintenance

• Clean Welding Tips: Regularly clean the tips of the welding pens to remove any residue or oxidation. This ensures good electrical contact and consistent welds. Fine-grit sandpaper or a file can be used.
• Inspect Cables: Periodically check all cables and connections for signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Replace any damaged cables immediately.
• Storage: Store the spot welder in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, when not in use.
• General Cleaning: Wipe the main board with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. Do not use liquids or solvents.
