V205-T DC & V205-T AC/DC
Read and understand this entire section before operating
your machine.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Do not touch electrically live parts such as
output terminals, electrode or internal wiring.
• Insulate yourself from the work and ground.
• Always wear dry insulating gloves.
------------------------------------------------------------------
FUMES AND GASES
can be dangerous.
• Keep your head out of fumes.
• Use ventilation or exhaust to
remove fumes from breathing
zone.
------------------------------------------------------------------
WELDING, CUTTING and
GOUGING SPARKS
can cause fire or explosion
•Keep flammable material away.
•Do not weld, cut or gouge on
containers that have held combustibles.
------------------------------------------------------------------
ARC RAYS
can burn.
• Wear eye, ear and body
protection.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Only qualified personnel should operate this equipment.
Observe all safety information throughout this manual.

WELDING CAPABILITY

The Invertec V205-T DC & V205-T AC/DC is rated at 200 amps, 18
volts, at 40% duty cycle on a ten minute basis. It is capable of
higher duty cycles at lower output currents. It is capable of 140
amps, 15.6 volts at at 100% duty cycle. If the duty cycle is
exceeded, a thermal protector will shut off the output until the
machine cools. See Technical Specifications in A-1 for other rated
outputs.
The Invertec V205-T is recommended for stick welding with such
popular electrodes as Fleetweld 5P and 5P+ (E6010), Fleetweld
35 (E6011), Fleetweld 37 (E6013), Fleetweld 180 (E6011) and
Excalibur 7018.

LIMITATIONS

The V205-T is not recommended for pipe thawing.

REAR CONTROL PANEL

• I1: Off/On switch turns on the electric power to the welder.
It has two positions, "O" off, and "I" on.
------------------------------------------------------------------
* With "l1" in the "I" (ON) position, the welding machine is opera-
tional and there is voltage between the positive (+) and negative
(-) Terminals in stick welding. In TIG, the welding process needs
a trigger closure command at the remote control
connection.(Usually via an Arc Start Switch or Foot Amptrol)
* The welder is connected to the supply even if the "l1" (Power
Switch) is in the "O" (Off) position, and therefore there are elec-
trically live parts inside the power source. Carefully follow the
instructions given in this manual.
* 1 : Supply cable
* 2 : Gas attachment
