Cruiser 150TP Cod.006.0001.0206 09/05/2023 v1.0 ENGLISH WELD THE WORLD 1.1 INTRODUCTION Cruiser 150TP is an advanced inverter power source characterized by a robust and reliable industrial construction. It is recommended for MMA welding and TIG DC applications providing excellent arc characteristics. Cruiser 150TP is ideal for operations on site like basic maintenance and building construction. A built-in Total Protection Device saves the inverter components from overvoltage and makes the unit suitable for use with unstable power supply and motor-generators. Factory optimized Hot Start, Arc Force and Anti Sticking allow an easy and excellent quality welding using electrodes up to 3.25 mm diameter. In TIG DC, Pulse selection is included, making Cruiser 150TP unique in its range. Lift Start function guarantees arc ignition without damaging the tungsten electrode. INSTALLATION DANGER!

Plug the power cable plug into a mains socket outlet. 3. Choose the electrode based on the type of material and thickness of the workpiece to be welded. 4. Insert the electrode in the electrode holder. 5. Connect the electrode holder cable to the welding socket based on the polarity requested by the type of electrode used. 6. Connect the plug of the ground clamp to the welding socket on the basis of the polarity required. 7. Connect the earth clamp to the workpiece being processed. DANGER! Electric shock hazard! Read the warnings highlighted by the following symbols in the “General prescriptions for use”.

Overheating alarm Indicates tripping of the welding power source thermal protection. Leave the unit running so that the overheated components cool as rapidly as possible. When the unit has cooled, the welding power source will reset automatically. • Make sure that the power required by the welding process is lower than the maximum rated power output. • Check that the operating conditions are in compliance with the welding power source data plate specifications. • Check for the presence of adequate air circulation around the welding power source. POT1 The potentiometer sets the value of the following parameter: WELDING CURRENT The selector sets the welding mode. SEL1 PULSED DC TIG TIG DC CONTINUOUS...
