200 AC/DC FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases. When welding, keep your head out of the fume. Use enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes and gases away from the breathing zone.

200 AC/DC ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL. Never touch electrical parts. Wear dry, hole-free gloves and clothes to insulate yourself. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation. Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full area of physical contact with work and ground.
200 AC/DC Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous situation. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.
Thus, it is characterized with portable, small size, light weight, low consumption and etc. The parameters of ionTig 200 AC/DC on the front panel all can be adjusted continuously and sleeplessly, such as start current, crater arc current, welding current, base current, duty ratio, upslope time, downslope time, pre-gas, post-gas, pulse frequency, AC frequency, balance, hot start, arc force and arc length etc.

200 AC/DC MCU control system, responds immediately to any changes. High frequency and high voltage for arc igniting to ensure the success ratio of igniting arc, the reverse polarity ignition ensures good ignition behavior in TIG-AC welding.
200 AC/DC welding machine is suitable for all positions welding for various plates made of stainless steel, carbon steel, alloyed steel, titanium, aluminum, magnesium, cuprum, etc., which is also applied to pipe installment, mold mend, petrochemical, architecture decoration, car repair, bicycle, handicraft and common manufacture.
2.3 Volt-Ampere Characteristic ionTig 200 AC/DC welding machine has an excellent volt-ampere characteristic, whose graph is shown as the following figure. The relation between the conventional rated loading voltage U2 and the conventional welding current I2 is as follows: When I2≤600A,U2=10+0.04I2(V);...
200 AC/DC Insulation class Dimensions of Machine 470×240×380 (L×W×H) (mm) Weight(Kg) Note: The above parameters are subject to change with the improvement of machines. 3.2 Duty cycle and Over-heat The letter “X” stands for duty cycle, which is defined as the proportion of the time that a machine can work continuously within a certain time (10 minutes).
3.4 Power supply input connection ionTig 200 AC/DC welding machines’ power supply connects to 220V. When the power supply voltage is over the safe work voltage, there are over voltage and under voltage protection inside the welder, the alarm light will on, at the same time, the current output will be cut off.
200 AC/DC When WSME welding machines are operated in HF ignition method, the ignition spark can cause interferences in equipment near the welding machine. Be sure to take specially safety precautions or shielding measures. 4. Operation 4.1 Layout for the panel...
