GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The PILOT 2000 is a single-phase welding machine
based on inverter technology.
Block diagram PILOT 2000 DC
Block diagram PILOT 2000 AC/DC
The PILOT 2000 range consists of the following
types:
PILOT 2000 DC
-
- PILOT 2000 PFC
- PILOT 2000 AC/DC
PILOT 2000 AC/DC PFC
-
DC stands for welding with direct current. AC/DC
stands for welding with alternating current and direct
current. PFC indicates that the machine has a circuit
which reduces the mains current.
All versions are designed for welding with coated
electrodes and are equipped with Hot-start, Arc
Power and Antifreeze.
The PILOT 2000 machine is mainly designed for TIG
welding, and features functions such as:
- variable slope up and down
- variable gas post-flow time
- option of 2-times or 4-times operation
- LIFTIG or HF-ignition can be selected
- current control from the TIG torch handle remote
control facility
- AC balance
- Fixed AC welding frequency
- Digital display
In LIFTIG ignition the TIG arc is ignited after making
contact between the workpiece and the tungsten
electrode, after which the trigger is activated and the
arc established by lifting the electrode away from the
workpiece.
In HF ignition the TIG arc is ignited without contact.
A high-frequency (HF) impulse initiates the arc
when the trigger is activated.
INITIAL OPERATION
Mains connection
After the mains cable has been connected, the
machine is ready for use. Please note that all cable
connections must be made by authorised and
qualified staff.
Machines without PFC can be switched between
230V and 400 V on the mains switch. Machines
with PFC should always be connected to 230V.

Configuration
MIGATRONIC disclaims
damaged cables and other damages related to
welding with under sized welding torch and welding
cables measured by welding specifications e.g. in
relation to permissible load.
Connection of welding cables /
Connection of TIG torch
Connect the welding cables to the front of the
machine. Please note that the plug must be turned
45 degrees after insertion into the socket - otherwise
the plug can be damaged due to excessive contact
resistance.
Usage of the machine
When welding with PILOT 2000 machines a heating
of various components of the machine takes place
and during breaks these components will cool down
again.
It is not possible to overload the machine in normal
use, and there is no need for cooling down periods at
current settings up to e.g. 135 Amps for PILOT 2000
AC/DC. When the machine is set for welding
currents higher than these, there will be a need for
periods during which the machine can cool down.
The length of these periods depends on the current
setting, and the machine should not be switched off
in the meantime. If the periods for cooling down
during use of the machine are not sufficiently long,
the overheating protection will automatically stop the
welding process and the yellow LED will come on.
