NOTICE
DESCRIPTION
The TIG 200 A HF AC/DC is a portable, single phase, ventilated Inverter welding unit to be used with non-consumable
electrode (TIG) in direct (DC) or alternative (AC) current. TIG welding requires a gaseous protection (Argon). In MMA
mode, it allows you to weld with any kind of electrodes: rutile, basic, stainless steel or cast iron. The TIG 200 A HF AC/
DC can be equipped with a remote control or foot pedal. (This is available separately as an option). They work with a
single phase input spread between 85V to 265V. They are protected for a use on electric generators.
POWER SUPPLY – STARTING UP
• This device is delivered with a plug 16A type CEE7/7. The TIG 200 A HF AC/DC integrates a « Flexible Voltage » sys-
tem and can be used on a power supply variable between 85V and 265V (50 – 60 Hz) WITH earth. The absorbed current
(I1eff) is indicated on the device, for its maximum setting. Check that the power supply and its protection (fuse and/
or circuit breaker) are compatible with the current needed by the machine. In some countries, it may be necessary to
change the plug to allow the use at maximum settings.
• The starting up is made by pushing on the standby button
supply tension is over 265V. To indicate this default, the screen displays
unplug the device and plug it back on a socket delivering the correct tension.
NB: The product has a useful function "check supply voltage": To do this press simultaneously the keys n°12 "welding
mode" and n°13 "TIG trigger control" and the display will indicate the voltage of your power supply.
• Ventilator: in MMA mode, the ventilator operates permanently. In TIG mode, the ventilator only operates during the
welding phase, and then stops after cooling.
WELDING WITH COVERED ELECTRODE (MMA MODE)
Getting Started
• Connect the electrode holder and earth clamp to the corresponding sockets.
• Ensure that the welding polarities and intensities indicated on the electrode packaging are observed.
• Remove the electrode from the electrode holder when the machine is not in use.
Integrated welding assistance
Your device is equipped with 3 specific functions :
Hot Start gives an adjustable* overcurrent at the beginning of welding.
Arc Force delivers an overcurrent which avoids sticking when the electrode enters the welding pool.
Anti-Sticking allows easy removal of the electrode in case of sticking.
Selection of process and current setting
