Setup Instructions - AHP WELDS Alpha-TIG200X User Manual

Setup Instructions

The welder is designed with a power voltage compensation. When power voltage fluctuates
within a range of 15% of rated voltage, it will continue to operate.
If a longer cable is used, we suggest using cable with a greater cross section in order to reduce
line loss voltage.
PLEASE NOTE:
This Welder is designed to operate on Single Phase 110 and 220 Volt power sources. (110v 120v
220v 240v) with a plus or minus variant of 15%
1. Make sure that the vent of the welder is not covered or plugged to ensure the cooling fans
can operate to their full potential.
2. Please ensure all fittings and connections from argon bottle to welder are secured
correctly to prevent leaking.
3. When using a generator the unit should be grounded reliably with a grounding rod driven
into the ground.
4. The Ground Clamp dinse connector is inserted into the work port on the welder and is
turned clockwise to secure. The ground clamp is connected to a clean surface as close as
possible to the welding operation to ensure a good ground.
5. Install the TIG torch copper nut connection (place supplied plastic sleeve on nut
connection) from the torch cable connection to the TIG port, and tighten clockwise.
6. When the pedal switch is used connect the 5 pin plug of the pedal switch to the control
outlet socket on the panel face.
7. For stick operation (MMA), select stick function on the TIG/MMA switch, make sure the
Torch/Pedal switch is in the torch position. Connect the stick electrode holder to the
negative port (-) and the ground dinse is connected to the positive port (+), these can be
reversed for Stick function for running electrode positive output.
8. Please note the diagram shows the whip in the electrode negative output.
