Total Protection function with indicator light prevents machine damage if the primary power supply exceeds 275V. IDENTIFY COMPONENTS Unitor W elding Inverter UW I 230TP AC/DC, product number 191- 230231 is delivered with Carrying strap mounted on the machine 1 pce...
2. TECHNICAL DATA Type of welding machine One-phase static transformer rectifier frequency converter, DC output. Processes MMA (Stick electrode / SMAW ) TIG DC (GTAW ) TIG (GTAW ) ALUMINUM Safety Marking Suitable for use in areas with increased electric shock hazard X: Duty cycle Duty Cycle is percentage of 10 minutes that unit can weld at rated load without overheating.

= Welding current. Range 10 – 180A in MMA process; 5 – 220A in TIG processes. = No-load voltage Is the voltage between welding terminals (touchable voltage) when the machine is idle and equipped with a voltage reduction function for operator safety. Low value means high operator safety, and with this in mind this machine satisfies the world’s strictest regulation: AS 1674.2-2007 Safety in welding and allied processes (Australian standard) which allows for maximum 35V.
3. INSTALLATION Only qualified personnel should perform this installation. Only personnel that have read and understood this Manual should install and operate this equipment. Machine must only be plugged into a receptacle which is grounded in accordance with valid regulations. Note The power switch should be in the OFF position when installing work cable and electrode cable and when connecting power cord to input power.
4. FRONT AND BACK PANEL Description 1. Thermal protection activated. Yellow light indicates that the protection thermostat has cut the output. Do not switch the machine off. The fan will be running and the thermostat resets automatically when the machine has cooled down sufficiently. The light will darken when the machine is live again.

5. WELDING MMA (SMAW stick electrode) welding 1 Electrode 2 Workpiece Select MMA welding. 3 Arc Connect ground (return) cable with good contact to the work piece. Select polarity and amperage as recommended for the electrode and start arc as follows: Drag electrode across work piece like striking a Match and lift electrode slightly after touching work.
6. PARALLEL CONNECTION Two pcs UW I-230 TP AC/DC may be parallel connected and will then supply up to 360A current for stick electrode welding. This is done as follows: Set both machines to MMA welding. Set both machines to remote control and if extensions are necessary use same length remote control cables from each machine to the work site where the remote control parallel connection kit, product number 676973, is used to connect both machines to the same remote control...

12. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Arc Welding Hazards The safety information given below is only a summary of the more complete safety information found in the Safety Standards listed in Section 1-5. Read and follow all Safety Standards. Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, and repair this unit. During operation, keep everybody, especially children, away.
Page 19
FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous. Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes. If inside, ventilate the area and/or use exhaust at the arc to remove welding fumes and gases. If ventilation is poor, use an approved air-supplied respirator.
Page 20
HOT PARTS can cause severe burns. Do not touch hot parts bare handed. Allow cooling period before working on gun or torch. MAGNETIC FIELDS can affect pacemakers. Pacemaker wearers keep away. Wearers should consult their doctor before going near arc welding, gouging, or spot welding operations.
Page 21
MOVING PARTS can cause injury. Keep away from moving parts such as fans. Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards closed and securely in place. H.F. RADIATION can cause interference. High-frequency (H.F.) can interfere with radio navigation, safety services, computers, and communications equipment.
