Page 6: High Frequency Dc Welding
In the ‘AC’ mode, the UNIPOWER 200 produces 230(110)V of AC power at 50 (50/60) Hz or cycles per second. The maximum output capacity of the UNIPOWER 200 at any time is governed by the speed of rotation of the engine (ie engine rpm). If the engine rpm is below a permissible level to sustain a connected load at 230(110)V the red “Status”... -
Page 7: Voltage Regulation
The auxiliary AC power circuit is protected against accidental overload by the incorporation of a current limiting system which limits the current drawn to the maximum available output of the UNIPOWER 200, regardless of the overload applied. Fuses, located at the right hand side of the Control Module (refer Table 2) are also placed in the supply lines from the alternator to provide further protection. -

Page 9: Operation
UNIPOWER 200P OPERATION Battery fitted for engine starting and control operation A 7Ahr sealed maintenance-free 12V battery is fitted beneath the Control Module which provides for engine starting and power to run the Control Module. This battery is recharged by the engine’s charging system only when running. Power to the control module however is only activated or turned on (electronically) when the unit detects that the engine has started and this battery is being sufficiently recharged. -

Note: Welding output can also be reduced by decreasing engine rpm, however this also reduces the open circuit voltage. Upon completion of welding, throttle down to idle, return selector switch on the UNIPOWER 200 to "ST-BY" or “0”. Switch engine off and remove all welding leads connected to the UNIPOWER 200. -
Page 11: Auxiliary 230(110)V Ac Power
When using the UNIPOWER 200 to power-up capacitive loads, a small time delay from switching ON to starting may be experienced: Increase the engine speed for quicker starting of capacitive loads To ensure safe and reliable operation of the above equipment an annual inspection by a licensed electrician or factory accredited service centre is recommended. -
Page 12: External Battery Charging
Insert the Battery Clamp (optional accessory) onto the positive terminal of the battery to be charged. Carefully, yet quickly clamp the Electrode Holder onto the Battery. The UNIPOWER 200 will now supply a regulated charge which will vary depending on the state and size of the battery under charge. - Page 13 UNIPOWER 200P Figure 2: External Battery Charging for a 12V and 24V System...

Page 14: External Variable Battery Charging (Optional Feature, If Fitted)
Insert the Battery Clamp (optional accessory) onto the positive terminal of the battery to be charged. Carefully, yet quickly clamp the Electrode Holder onto the Battery. The UNIPOWER 200 will now supply a regulated charge which will vary depending on the state and size of the battery under charge. -
Page 15: Night Weld (Optional Feature, If Fitted)
Upon completion of welding or the requirement for AC lighting power, throttle down to normal low idle, return selector switch on the UNIPOWER 200 to "ST-BY" or “0”. Switch engine off and remove all welding leads and power cables connected to the UNIPOWER 200. -
Page 16: Maintenance
Replace belts if necessary. The UNIPOWER 200 alternator under full load is capable of peak transmission loads of upto 5 kW (7 Hp). It is essential that only high quality belt(s) be used and tensioned sufficiently to prevent slippage. There should be very little "give" when the belt is flexed by hand. - Page 17 UNIPOWER 200P Y : Uni-Power International Pty Ltd (Uni-Power) warrants that its products will be free of defects in workmanship or material. Should any failure to conform to this warranty appear within one year or 2,000 operation hours (whichever occurs first), from the date of purchase by the end user, Uni-Power shall, upon notification thereof...
