Page 8: Introduction
As well as TIG welding the RT2000 is capable of MMA welding with all types of electrodes within the current rating of the machine, normally up to 4mm. The RT2000 is available in three versions, a 230v only, a 110v only and a 115/230v auto switching Dual Voltage version. -

Mode switch This control switches the RT2000’ s welding mode. MMA sets the machine in MMA mode. TIG 2s sets the machine in ‘normal’ TIG mode, whereby pressing the TIG torch switch initiates the arc and releasing it will extinguish the arc (at the end of any slope down period set).

Page 12: Installation
Long extension cable lengths may reduce the performance of the machine, the welding arc may become unstable especially at higher currents. Ensure the mains cable is not coiled up when you are welding as this will reduce the input voltage to the machine and may cause overheating and degradation of the cable. RT2000... -
Page 13: Operation
• When welding, adjust the Arc-force control to achieve the arc condition you require. • The RT2000 is suitable for welding all types of electrodes within the current rating of the machine, normally up to 3.2 or 4mm depending on the type of rod. -
Page 14: Fault Finding
In Hot climates (above 25°C) It indicates that you are exceeding the duty cycle of the RT2000, leave switched on for a few minutes and the RT2000 will return to normal operation. In this circumstance, do not switch the RT2000 off as this will stop the operation of the cooling fan and greatly extend the cool down period. -
Page 15: Welding Problems
• If the RT2000 is suffering from poor striking, check that all power leads are connected properly, check that there is sufficient gas flow and that the correct gas is being used, check that the earth clamp is making a good connection to the work-piece. -
Page 16: Maintenance
All Electric shocks are potentially fatal, switch the machine off and disconnect from the power supply before undertaking out any maintenance work. It is very important that the RT2000 is regularly maintained. The amount of use and the working environment must be taken into account when scheduling the maintenance periods. Careful use and regular preventative maintenance will prolong the life of the machine and ensure trouble free operation. -
