7.1.1 2- - stroke Gas pre--flow Slope Slope down Gas post--flow Functions when using 2- -stroke control of the welding torch. In the 2- - stroke control mode, pressing the trigger switch starts gas pre--flow (if used) and strikes the arc (1). The current rises to the set value (as controlled by the slope up function, if in operation).

7.1.4 LiftArct The lift arc function strikes the arc when the electrode is brought into contact with the workpiece and then lifted away from it. Striking the arc with the Lift Arc function. Step 1: the electrode is touched on to the workpiece. Step 2: the trigger switch is pressed, and a low current starts to flow.
Tig 150i/Tig 200i gives direct current, and you can weld most metals to alloy and non--alloy steel, stainless steel and cast iron. The Tig 150i allows you to weld most coated electrodes from ∅ 1.6 to ∅ 3.25. The Tig 200i allows you to weld most coated electrodes from ∅ 1.6 to ∅ 4.0.
Check that the correct electrodes are being used. Fault codes The Tig 150i/Tig 200i comes with built--in fault monitoring. If a fault occurs, a code is shown in the display. If any of these fault codes (Exx) reappears once the unit has been restarted, the welding power source should be sent to an authorised ESAB service workshop for repair.
