TIG STRIKER 200 AC 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.
2.2 WoRKINg PRINCIPLE The working principle of TIG STRIKER 200 AC welding machines is shown as the following figure. single-phase 115V/230V work frequency AC is rectified into DC (about 380V), then is converted to medium frequency AC (about 44K Hz) by inverter device (IGBT module), after reducing voltage by medium transformer (the main transformer) and rectifying by medium frequency rectifier (fast recovery diodes), then is outputted DC or AC by selecting IGBT module.
3.4 PoWER SUPPLy INPUT CoNNECTIoN TIG STRIKER 200 AC welding machines’ power supply connects to single-phase 95- 270V 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.
(short/long), and can be supplied according to the accessory codes. • When TIG STRIKER 200 AC welding machine is operated in HF ignition method, the ignition spark can cause interferences in equipment near the welding machine. Be sure to take specially...

4.4 ARgoN ARC WELDINg oPERATIoN 4.4.1 TIg WELDINg (4T oPERATIoN) The start current and crater current can be pre-set. This function can compensate the possible crater that appears at the beginning and end of the welding. Thus, 4T is suitable for the welding of medium thickness plates. Pulsed TIG long welding (4T): I (A) Repress down...
4.4.2 TIg WELDINg (2T oPERATIoN) This function without the adjustment of start current and crater current is suitable for the Re-tack welding, transient welding, thin plate welding and so on. Pulsed TIG short welding (2T): I (A) Loosen the welding Welding current (peak current) gun switch setting value...
Notices: • Check the condition of welding and connection units firstly, otherwise there will be malfunction such as ignition spark, gas leakage, out of control and so on. • Check that whether there is enough Argon gas in the shield gas cylinder, you can test the electromagnetic gas valve through the switch on the front panel.

5.0 MAINTENANCE & TRoUBlEShooTING 5.1 mAINTENANCE In order to ensure the arc welding machine works efficiently and safely, it must be maintained regularly. Maintenance items in detail are in the following table. Warning: For safety while maintaining the machine, please shut off the supply power and wait for 5 minutes, until capacity voltage drops.
5.2 TRoUBLESHooTINg • Before arc welding machines are dispatched from the factory, they have already been debugged accurately. So forbid anyone who is not authorized by us to do any change to the equipment! • Maintenance course must be operated carefully. If any wire becomes flexible or is misplaced, it maybe potential danger to user! •...
