6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Milliohm Resistance Measurement
The 811H includes a built-in milliohm resistance meter for checking the stability of welds or measuring the internal resistance between a metal strip and a battery electrode. The measurement range is 0-200 mΩ.
- Connect the Milliohm Meter Test Leads to the designated ports on the front panel.
- Ensure the unit is powered on.
- Place the probes of the test leads firmly on the points where resistance needs to be measured (e.g., between a nickel strip and a battery terminal).
- The resistance value will be displayed on the dedicated resistance value display.
Note: This function measures the resistance of the connection or material, not the internal resistance of the battery itself.

6.2. Spot Welding Operation
The 811H provides powerful and precise spot welding for various battery assembly tasks.

- Material Preparation: Ensure the surfaces to be welded are clean and free from oxidation, dirt, or grease.
- Select Welding Electrodes: Choose appropriate welding pins for the 75B Welding Pen based on the material and thickness. The 811H supports welding of various materials including stainless steel, iron, nickel, titanium, molybdenum, copper, aluminum, and zinc.
- Adjust Welding Parameters: Use the control panel to adjust the welding energy (99 gears available). Start with lower settings and gradually increase until the desired weld strength is achieved. The display shows real-time output current and energy settings.
- Positioning: Hold the welding pen firmly. Position the welding pins perpendicular to the workpiece, ensuring both pins make simultaneous contact. The elastic pressure balance technology ensures consistent pressure for reliable welds.
- Execute Weld: Depending on the selected triggering mode, either press the foot pedal (MT mode) or allow the automatic trigger (AT mode) to initiate the weld.
Welding Thickness Guidelines:

| Electrode Type | Material | Max Thickness |
|---|---|---|
| Copper Electrode | Pure Nickel Strip | 0.25mm |
| Nickel Plated Copper Strip | 0.25mm | |
| Pure Copper Strip (with flux) | 0.4mm | |
| Aluminum Electrode | Nickel-aluminum Composite Strip | 0.4mm |
| Pure Nickel Strip | 0.3mm | |
| Pure Copper Strip | 0.2mm | |
| Nickel Plated Copper Strip | 0.15mm |

6.3. Triggering Modes
The 811H offers two triggering modes for welding:
- AT (Automatic Trigger) Mode: Ideal for fast and precise batch spot welding. The weld is initiated automatically once the welding pins make proper contact with the workpiece.
- MT (Manual Trigger) Mode: Utilizes the foot pedal for manual control. This mode provides more time for beginners to position the welding pins accurately before initiating the weld.

6.4. Consistent Welding Features
The 811H incorporates advanced features to ensure consistent and reliable welds:
- Dual Pulse Technology: Helps remove the oxide layer on the material surface, leading to more reliable and stronger welds.
- Ultra-Low Internal Resistance: The welding pen features 50mm² copper wire and ultra-low internal resistance (less than 0.3mΩ), ensuring maximum current transmission and minimal energy loss.
- Elastic Pressure Balance Technology: This patented technology in the welding pen ensures consistent and balanced needle pressure during operation, resulting in uniform weld spots.

7. Maintenance
- Electrode Maintenance: Regularly inspect the welding pins for wear or oxidation. Replace worn pins to ensure optimal welding performance. Clean oxidized pins with fine-grit sandpaper or a specialized electrode cleaner.
- Unit Cleaning: Keep the main unit clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Cable Inspection: Periodically check all cables and connections for damage. Replace any frayed or damaged cables immediately.
- Storage: When not in use, store the unit and accessories in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
