OPERATION OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Read and understand entire section before operating machine. GENERAL WARNINGS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. • Do not touch electrically live parts or electrode with skin or wet clothing. • Insulate yourself from work and ground.
OPERATION GENERAL DESCRIPTION High temperature Class H insulation. • The Invertec STT II is a 225-ampere inverter based Protection circuits and ample safety margins prevent • arc welding power source specifically designed for the damage to the solid state components from tran- STT welding process.
OPERATION OPERATIONAL FEATURES AND CONTROLS All operator controls are located on the case front of the Invertec STT II. Refer to Figure B.1 for locations. FIGURE B.1 CASE FRONT CONTROLS 1. POWER SWITCH: Turns output 3B.PEAK CURRENT DISPLAY METER: This power ON and OFF.

OPERATION WELDING PARAMETERS AND GUIDE- Adjusting this level to low will cause wire stubbing and also poor wetting of the weld metal. This is similar to LINES a low voltage setting on a standard CV machine The Invertec STT II is neither a constant current (CC) Adjust Bead Shape using Background Current nor a constant voltage (CV) power source.
