Welding Capability - Duty Cycle The R-Tech TIG200PDC is rated at 200 Amps at 60% duty cycle on a ten minute basis. If the duty cycle is exceeded a thermal protector will shut machine off until the machine cools. - Page 5 Safety Precautions Read entire section before starting installation WARNING! Electric Shock can kill - Only qualified personnel should perform this installation. Turn off input power at the fuse box before working on this equipment. Do not touch electrically live parts. Always connect the machine to an earthed mains supply as per national recommended standards.

Page 6: Electrical Installation
Electrical Installation WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL Machine grounding and High Frequency Interference Protection This welder must be grounded to earth. See national electrical codes fro proper grounding methods. The high frequency generator being similar to a radio transmitter may cause interference to radio, TV and other electronic equipment. - Page 7 Allow machine to sit for 5 minutes minimum to allow the power capacitors to discharge before working inside this equipment. Do not touch electrically live parts The TIG200PDC Inverter Tig Welder requires a 240V 50/60Hz 32amp fused supply. It comes with a 3 metre mains cable attached.

Page 11: Controls And Settings
Controls and Settings Fig 4 1. Up slope Adjustment 0-5 seconds. The main welding current raises from minimum amperage to main current selected in time selected when weld started 2. Down slope Down-Slope adjustment 0-5 seconds. The main welding current decreases from main amperage to minimum amperage in time selected when weld finished 3. - Page 12 Press and hold the Tig torch switch to start sequence. The machine will open gas valve to start flow of shield gas, after a 0.5 seconds pre-flow time to purge air from torch hose the welding output of machine will be turned on and the arc will be started. After the arc is started the output current will increase from the start (min) current to base (main) current in time selected by slope-up.

Page 13: Operating Machine
This condition can be maintained as long as required. Release the tig torch switch to go to step 2 The machine will now increase output to base (main) current in time set by slope-up. Press and hold the tig torch switch when main weld is complete The machine will now decrease the welding output current to finish (min) in down-slope time set. -
Page 14: Welding In Tig Mode - With Pulse
WARNING! WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion Keep flammable material away from work area. Do not weld on containers that have held combustibles WARNING! ARC RAYS can burn Wear eye, ear and body protection - Make sure work area is protected by proper shielding to avoid injury to passers by. -
Page 15: Tig Tungsten Size / Amperage Guide
The benefits of pulse welding is the ability to control the weld pool and amount of heat absorbed by work resulting in a smaller heat affected zone which results in fewer deformations and reduced chance of cracking. There are no set rules for pulse welding as this is down to personal choice by the welder. Tig tungsten size / amperage guide All values below are based on using pure argon shielding gas. -
