Introduction; Installation And Operator Instructions - Lincoln Electric CITOTIG 200 AC/DC Operator's Manual

Introduction

General Description
CITOTIG 200 AC/DC machine is designated to performe
MMA (SMAW) and TIG (GTAW) welding process in DC
and AC current.
Unit is designed mainly to satisfy TIG requestes in both
DC and AC mode: thanks an advance menu options both
beginners and experts welder can adjust welding
parameters to have the best welding performances.
Following paragraphs will show how to access to the
menu and the parameters tha can be set.

Installation and Operator Instructions

Read this entire section before installation or operation of
the machine.
Location and Environment
This machine will operate in harsh environments.
However, it is important that simple preventative
measures are followed to assure long life and reliable
operation.

Do not place or operate this machine on a surface with
an incline greater than 15° from horizontal.

Do not use this machine for pipe thawing.

This machine must be located where there is free
circulation of clean air without restrictions for air
movement to and from the air vents. Do not cover the
machine with paper, cloth or rags when switched on.

Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the machine
should be kept to a minimum.

This machine has a protection rating of IP23. Keep it
dry when possible and do not place it on wet ground
or in puddles.

Locate the machine away from radio controlled
machinery. Normal operation may adversely affect
the operation of nearby radio controlled machinery,
which may result in injury or equipment damage.
Read the section on electromagnetic compatibility in
this manual.

Do not operate in areas with an ambient temperature
greater than 40°C.
Input Supply Connection
Check the input voltage, phase, and frequency supplied to
this machine before turning it on. The allowable input
voltage is indicated in the technical specification section of
this manual and on the rating plate of the machine. Be
sure that the machine is grounded.
Make sure the amount of power available from the input
connection is adequate for normal operation of the
machine. The fuse rating and cable sizes are both
indicated in the "Technical Specification" section of this
manual.
The machines are designed to operate on engine driven
generators as long as the auxiliary can supply adequate
voltage, frequency and power as indicated in the
"Technical Specification" section of this manual.
auxiliary supply of the generator must also meet the
following conditions:


HOSE CLAMP

GAS HOSE

MOUNT HOSE

NUT HALF BLIND 1/4F

MALE QUICK COUPLING HOSE
Recommended equipment, which can be bought by user,
was mentioned in the "Suggested Accessories" section.
230Vac 1 phases:

Vac peak voltage: below 280V

Vac frequency: in the range of 50 and 60Hz

RMS voltage of the AC waveform: 230Vac ± 15%
115Vac 1 phases:

Vac frequency: in the range of 50 and 60Hz

RMS voltage of the AC waveform: 115Vac ± 15%
Note: if connected @ 115Vac the equipment has output
derating It is important to check these conditions because
many engine driven generators produce high voltage
spikes. Operation of this machine on engine driven
generators not conforming to these conditions is not
recommended and may damage the machine.
Caution: To provide fully performance of duty cycle You
need to change overcurrent protection for 25A type D and
change for a proper input plug (or connect directly to a
power network).
Example:
Output Connections
A quick disconnect system using Twist-Mate cable
plugs is used for the welding cable connections. Refer to
the following sections for more information on connecting
the machine for operation of M welding (MMA) or TIG
welding (GTAW).
