2.1 SPECIFICATIONS

2.2 DESCRIPTION

The new A 160i Lift from Air Liquide Welding sets
a new standard for constant current, DC arc weld-
ing inverters. This 90–270 VAC input (Sinelink)
compact unit is a proven performer with serious
welding amperage for electrodes up to 4.0 mm
(5/32 in). This portable unit weighs in at an
impressive 9.9 kg (21.8 lb). The perfect sinus
input shape gains 35% in welding power over the
conventional welding machine.
Infinite current regulation and thermal overload
protection assist the welding operator in per-
forming smooth and consistent welds. Built in
anti-stick, hot start and arc force will ensure
ease of operation and increased operator satis-
faction. Throw on an optional TIG torch and you
have a unit capable of Lift TIG. The new A 160i
Lift: leading the way in performance, capabilities
and versatility.

2.3 COMES COMPLETE WITH:

1. Shoulder strap (carrying strap)
2. 2.4 m (8 ft) input power cord without plug
For options and accessories contact your distrib-
utor.

2.4 DUTY CYCLE AND OVERHEATING

Duty cycle is the percentage of 10 minutes that the
unit can weld at its rated output without overheat-
ing. If the unit overheats, the weld output will stop.
To correct this situation, wait fifteen minutes for
the unit to cool. Reduce amperage or duty cycle
before starting to weld again.
(See Duty Cycle Chart on page 8)

2.5 VOLT-AMPERE CURVES

Volt-ampere curves show the maximum voltage
and amperage output capabilities of the welding
power source. Curves of other settings fall under
curves shown.
