PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS! | |
Do not use the power source for thawing frozen pipes. |
ESAB can provide you with all necessary welding protection and accessories.
The Tig 2200i AC/DC is a TIG welding power source, which can also be used for MMA welding. It can be used with alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC).
The power source is supplied with a 5 m return cable, 3 m mains cable, carrying strap, cable holder, shaft belt, instruction manual for power source and control panel.
See the separate instruction manual for a detailed description of the control panels.
*) The minimum current during AC welding depends on the alloy used for the aluminium plates and their surface cleanliness.
Duty cycle
The duty cycle refers to the time as a percentage of a ten--minute period that you can weld at a certain load without overloading.
The duty cycle is valid for 40˚C ambient temperature.
Enclosure class
The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i. e. the degree of protection against penetration by solid objects or water. Equipment marked IP23 is designed for indoor and outdoor use.
Application class
The symbol indicates that the power source is designed for use in areas with increased electrical hazard.
The installation must be executed by a professional.
This product is intended for industrial use. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference. It is the user's responsibility to take adequate precautions. |
Install the carrying strap as illustrated and lift the power source by the strap.
Position the welding power source such that its cooling air inlets and outlets are not obstructed.
Check that the welding power source is connected to the correct mains power supply voltage, and that it is protected by the correct fuse size. A protective earth connection must be made in accordance with regulations.

Return clamp
Only those persons who have appropriate electrical knowledge (authorized personnel) may remove the safety plates to connect or carry out service, maintenance or repair work on welding equipment.
See installation instructions.
Turn on the mains power by turning the mains switch to the "1" position.
Turn the unit off by turning the switch to the "0" position.
Whether the mains power supply is interrupted or the power unit is switched off in the normal manner, welding data will be stored so that it is available next time the unit is started.
Regular maintenance is important for safe, reliable operation.
Only those persons who have appropriate electrical knowledge (authorized personnel) may remove the safety plates to connect or carry out service, maintenance or repair work on welding equipment.
Note!
All guarantee undertakings from the supplier cease to apply if the customer himself attempts any work in the product during the guarantee period in order to rectify any faults.
Power source
Check regularly that the welding power source is not clogged with dirt.
How often and which cleaning methods apply depend on: the welding process, arc times, placement, and the surrounding environment. It is normally sufficient to blow down the power source with dry compressed air (reduced pressure) once a year.
Clogged or blocked air inlets and outlets otherwise result in overheating.
Welding torch
The welding torch's wear parts should be cleaned and replaced at regular intervals in order to achieve trouble--free welding.
Try these recommended checks and inspections before sending for an authorised service technician.
Type of fault | Corrective action |
No arc. | Check that the mains power supply switch is turned on. |
Check that the welding current supply and return cables are correctly connected. | |
Check that the correct current value is set. | |
Check the mains power supply. | |
The welding current is interrupted during welding. | Check to see whether the thermal cut--outs have tripped. Check the mains power supply fuses. |
The thermal cut--out trips frequently. | Make sure that you are not exceeding the rated data for the welding power source (i.e. that the unit is not being overloaded). |
Poor welding performance. | Check that the welding current supply and return cables are correctly connected. |
Check that the correct current value is set. | |
Check that the correct electrodes are being used. | |
Check the gas flow. |
Repair and electrical work should be performed by an authorized ESAB serviceman. Use only ESAB original spare and wear parts.
Tig 2200i AC/DC is designed and tested in accordance with the international and European standards IEC/EN 60974- -1, 60974- -3 and EN 60974- -10. It is the obligation of the service unit which has carried out the service or repair work to make sure that the product still conforms to the said standard.
Spare parts may be ordered through your nearest ESAB dealer, see the last page of this publication.
Welding equipment primarily consists of steel, plastic and non--ferrous metals, and must be handled according to local environmental regulations. Coolant must also be handled according to local environmental regulations.
