Foreword Thank you for purchasing a new HTP® Inverter MIG welder. This manual covers the HTP MIG 200i, the HTP MTS 210, and the HTP Pro Pulse™ 220 MTS. All three welders feature HTP’s advanced one knob Synergic Control. The MIG 200i is an analog, full synergic welder with an Easy Set feature.
This warranty shall not apply to any welding machine which has been repaired or altered by unauthorized service departments in any way so as, in the judgment of HTP America, Inc., to affect its stability and reliability, nor which has been subjected to misuse, negligence, or accident.

MTS 210 & Pro Pulse 220 MTS Your MTS 210 or Pro Pulse 220 MTS operates on single-phase, 230V power (208V-240V). The machine draws 35 amps out of the wall when operating at a MIG or TIG welding output of 200 amps. 200 amps of Stick welding output requires 40 amps of 230V input.

The MTS 210 operates the same way as the Pro Pulse 220 MTS. The only difference between the two machines is that the MTS 210 does not offer any of the pulse programs found in the Pro Pulse 220 MTS. You can upgrade the MTS 210 to a Pro Pulse 220 MTS by adding the pulse module to the front panel logic board later for a fee.

Below, we discuss the capabilities and limitations of each of these guns. HTP 15 Series MIG Welding Gun—The smallest of the guns. Has a 60% duty-cycle at 180 amps. Excellent for reaching into tight spaces (e.g., work on cars). Also, lightweight for less operator fatigue. Best for welding steel in short circuit metal transfer.

HTP RSG 250 PP220 Air-Cooled Spool Gun—If you need some extra distance between yourself and your welding machine (beyond the reach of the HTP 8’ 26 Series MIG Welding Gun for Aluminum), or if you cannot avoid flexibility and tight turns of the connecting cable, a spool gun might be the right tool for the job. In the past, welders considered spool guns more of a crutch than an actual tool made for professionals.

G and H (Fig. 2) until you hear a continuous beep after three (3) shorter beeps. NOTE: The HTP MIG 200i does not feature a TIG or Stick welding mode. Overcurrent Protection If the welding current is more than 200 amps, the MIG 200i automatically reduces the wire speed and the welding parameters.
MTS 210 & Pro Pulse 220 MTS Front Panel Controls Fig. 4 A (Select Mode Button)—Allows you to access different welding modes by pressing repeatedly.

Then, you typically trim the ball off with a pair of pliers. However, the MTS 210 and the Pro Pulse 220 MTS can do that for you, electrically, by setting the pinch. The higher the pinch number, the more the wire gets trimmed electrically (ATTENTION! The number required will change by type and diameter of wire.

In this screen, the machine can be switched from Imperial to Metric (which is preferred by many collision repair shops). Also, if an optional spool gun is used on the machine, it needs to be activated here.

MIG 200i Duty Cycle & Over-Heat Protection The HTP MIG 200i is designed for the maintenance welder. It can weld many different materials and a wide variety of thicknesses. Thicker material, depending on the type, temperature, etc. may require multi-pass welds.
However, these numbers change with the selected welding amperage and the ambient temperature. In reality, very few can keep track of welding time like this, so we equipped the MTS 210 and the Pro Pulse 220 MTS with a very sophisticated over-heat protection.
HTP 15 Series MIG Welding Gun (For use with the MIG 200i, MTS 210, or Pro Pulse 220 MTS) This is the smallest welding gun. It has a duty cycle of 60% @ 180 amps. Excellent for reaching into tight spaces (e.g., work on cars).
HTP 24 Series MIG Welding Gun (For use with the MTS 210 or the Pro Pulse 220 MTS) The 24 Series welding gun has a duty cycle of 60% @ 240 amps. It is still lightweight and fits into most small spaces.
HTP 26 Series MIG Welding Gun (For use with the MTS 210 or the Pro Pulse 220 MTS) The 26 Series welding gun has a duty cycle of 60% @ 260 amps. Noticeably larger than the 24 Series MIG Welding Gun with a thicker torch cable (the thicker torch cable has more copper to carry more welding current and helps the operator keep the gun straight, which is especially important when welding aluminum).

Because of the pulse frequency, electronic interference may occur. For this reason, it is forbidden for people with PACEMAKERS to use or come near the machine. Dur ing the r esear ch and development pr ocess at HTP, we found that some brands/models of auto-darkening welding helmets experience interference issues with the Pro Pulse 220 MTS.
