The GYS Trimig series are semi-automatic MIG/MAG welding units designed for industrial use. They require a 400V three-phase power supply (or 230V three-phase for DV models). Always ensure the power supply and circuit protection are compatible with the device requirements before use.
Device presentation
The unit features a control panel for selecting welding modes (Manual or Synergic), a torch connection, and a wire feeder system. The gas bottle support is located at the rear and must be secured with the provided chain.
Setup and installation
- Reel Assembly: Open the machine door, position the reel on the support, and adjust the reel brake to prevent tangling.
- Wire Feeder: Use the appropriate rollers for the wire diameter (0.8/1.0 or 1.0/1.2). Ensure the visible diameter on the roller matches the wire in use.
- Gas Coupling: Connect the regulator/flowmeter to the gas bottle and attach the gas pipe to the connector using the provided collars.
Welding modes
Manual mode
In manual mode, the user sets the welding voltage using the two power switches and adjusts the wire speed manually using the potentiometer.
Synergic mode
This mode automatically controls wire speed. Set the wire speed potentiometer to the 'OPTIMAL SYNERGIC' zone and select the wire type, diameter, and power setting. The device determines the optimum speed based on these parameters.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Remove the steel cover 2-3 times a year to remove dust.
- Cables: Regularly check the condition of the power supply cord and welding cables.
- Ventilation: Ensure ventilation holes are never blocked to allow proper cooling.
Safety
Arc welding is dangerous. Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and a helmet with appropriate filters (EN169 or EN379). Work in a well-ventilated area and keep flammable materials away. People with pacemakers should consult a doctor before using this device.

Practical help
Common problems
Welding wire speed is not constant
Clean the contact tip, check roller pressure, or replace the wire guide.
Unwinding motor does not operate
Release the brake on the reel or rollers, and check that the power switch is in the ON position.
No welding current
Check the main supply connection, ensure the plug is fed by 3 phases, and inspect the earth connection.
Porous welding cord
Increase gas flow (15-20 L/min), replace empty gas bottle, or clean the working metal.
Before use
- Verify power supply and protection (fuse/breaker) are compatible.
- Ensure the gas bottle is securely fastened with the chain.
- Check that the correct contact tip and roller diameter are installed for the wire type.
- Ensure ventilation holes are not blocked.
- Inspect welding cables and earth clamp for damage.
Specs in practice
- Synergic Mode
- Automatic wire speed adjustment based on voltage, wire diameter, and power mode.
