5. Setup

5.1. Charging the Device

Before first use, fully charge the spot welder using the provided Type-C charging cable and a compatible USB power adapter (not included). The display will indicate the charging status.

5.2. Welding Tip Adjustment

The welding needle spacing can be adjusted to suit different applications. To adjust:

1. Locate the fixing screw near the welding pins.
2. Loosen the fixing screw.
3. Move the welding needles up or down to achieve the desired spacing (wide or narrow).
4. Tighten the fixing screw to secure the needles in place.

This image demonstrates how to adjust the spacing of the welding needles on the AWithZ H5 Spot Welder. By loosening a fixing screw, the welding pins can be moved up or down to achieve either a wide or narrow spacing, accommodating different welding needs. This allows for interchangeable needles.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Power On/Off

Press and hold the power button (usually one of the two buttons on top) for a few seconds to turn the device on or off.

6.2. Navigating the User Interface

The two buttons on the top of the spot welder are used for navigation and parameter adjustment. One button typically serves as a selection/menu button, while the other is for confirming or triggering in manual mode.

6.3. Parameter Adjustment

The AWithZ H5 offers extensive control over the welding process. Use the buttons to navigate through the display options and adjust the following parameters:

• Mode: Select between Automatic and Manual welding modes. In Automatic mode, the weld triggers automatically when contact is made. In Manual mode, you press a button to trigger the weld.
• Preheat Time: (0.1-0.5ms) Adjusts the duration of the initial pulse to prepare the material.
• Pause: (1-20ms) Sets the delay between welding pulses.
• Gear (Power Level): (01-99) Controls the welding power. Start with lower settings and gradually increase until a strong weld is achieved.
• Trigger Time: (0.5-5s) Sets the duration the welding current flows.
• Stitch Welding: (1-2) Determines the number of welding pulses per trigger.

This image details the various adjustable parameters of the AWithZ H5 Spot Welder, which allow for precise welding control. These parameters include Mode (Auto/Manual), Preheat time (0.1-0.5ms), Pause (1-20ms), Gear (power level 01-99), Trigger Time (0.5-5s), and Stitch Welding (1-2 pulses). The diagram shows how these settings contribute to the welding output for battery pack assembly.

6.4. Welding Process

1. Prepare Surfaces: Ensure the nickel strip and battery terminals are clean and free of oxidation. Use the provided sandpaper if necessary.
2. Select Settings: Based on the material thickness (e.g., 0.1mm to 0.2mm pure nickel), adjust the 'Gear' (power level) and other parameters. It is recommended to perform test welds on scrap material first.
3. Position Tips: Place the welding tips firmly and squarely onto the nickel strip, ensuring good contact with both the strip and the battery terminal underneath. Apply moderate pressure.
4. Initiate Weld: If in Automatic mode, the weld will trigger automatically upon proper contact. If in Manual mode, press the designated trigger button.
5. Inspect Weld: After welding, gently pull on the nickel strip to check the strength of the weld. A good weld will be strong and difficult to remove. Adjust settings if the weld is too weak or burns through the material.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning Welding Tips: Regularly inspect and clean the welding tips. Use the provided sandpaper to gently remove any residue or oxidation that may accumulate, ensuring optimal conductivity. Replace tips when they become excessively worn.
• Charging: Keep the internal battery charged. If the device is not used for extended periods, charge it every 3-6 months to maintain battery health.
• Storage: Store the spot welder in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• General Cleaning: Wipe the device exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
