There has been and still is some concern about such fields. However, after examining more than 500 studies spanning 17 years of research, a special blue ribbon committee of the National Research Council concluded that: “The body of evidence, in the committee’s judgment, has not demonstrated that exposure to power-frequency electric and magnetic fields is a human-health hazard.”...

    Due to large variations in performance and specifications of different brands and types of generators, Cigweld cannot guarantee full welding output power or duty cycle on every brand or type of generator. Some small generators incorporate low cost circuit breakers on their outputs. These circuit breakers usually will have a small reset button, and will trip much faster than a switchboard type circuit breaker.

VRD ON/OFF Indicator Lights A VRD (voltage reduction device) is a hazard reducing device designed to reduce electric shock hazards present on the output of welding power source when operating in MMAW (stick) mode.
  • Page 28 TRANSTIG 170Pi 2. Digital Meter (Amps and Volts) The digital meter is used to display the pre-set parameter values (when not welding) and actual output current or voltage (when welding) of the power source. A long press (>2s) on the Multi Function Control toggles between the display of amps and volts.

  • Page 30 TRANSTIG 170Pi Programming Parameter Control Panel Display Arc Force Arc Force is effective when in STICK mode only. Arc Force control provides an adjustable amount of Arc Force (or "dig") control. This feature can be particularly beneficial in providing the operator the ability to compensate for variability in joint fit-up in certain situations with particular electrodes.
  • Page 31 TRANSTIG 170Pi Up Slope This parameter operates in TIG modes only and is used to set the time for the weld current to ramp up from INITIAL current to BASE current. Range is 0.0 to 15.0 seconds. Factory default is 1.0 second. Base Current In DC TIG mode, this parameter sets the TIG welding current.
  • Page 32 TRANSTIG 170Pi Pulse Mode / Direct DC mode This parameter selects PULSE operating mode or DIRECT DC (-) operating mode. Range is DC or Pulse Mode. Factory default is DC. Trough Current This parameter sets the TIG TROUGH current. The lowest point in the pulse is called the Trough.
  • Page 33 TRANSTIG 170Pi Pulse Width This parameter sets the percentage “on” time of the PULSE FREQUENCY for BASE weld current when in PULSE operating mode. Range is 15 to 80%. Factory default is 50%. Pulse Frequency This parameter sets the PULSE FREQUENCY when in PULSE operating mode.
  • Page 34 TRANSTIG 170Pi Crater Current This parameter operates in TIG modes only. In 2T mode this is the current at the end of the down slope current ramp. When the welding current reaches the Crater Current value, the welding current will cease and the unit will enter Post Flow mode.
  • Page 35 TRANSTIG 170Pi CAUTION Loose welding terminal connections can cause overheating and result in the male plug being fused in the bayonet terminal. 7. Remote Control Socket The 8 pin Remote Control Socket is used to connect remote control devices to the welding power source. To make connections, align keyway, insert plug, and rotate threaded collar fully clockwise.
  • Page 36 TRANSTIG 170Pi A-11663 4T Latch Mode This mode of welding is mainly used for long welding runs to reduce operator fatigue. In this mode the operator can press and release the torch trigger and the output will remain active. To deactivate the power source, the trigger switch must again be depressed and released, thus eliminating the need for the operator to hold the torch trigger.
  • Page 37 TRANSTIG 170Pi Note that when the unit is powered on the mode selection control will automatically default to LIFT TIG/HF TIG mode. This is necessary so as to prevent inadvertent arcing should an electrode holder be connected to the unit and mistakenly be in contact with the work piece during power up. 11.

    TRANSTIG 170Pi SECTION 5: ThEORY OF OPERATION 5.01 Inverter Design What does the word inverter mean? The term inverter refers to the ability to change DC power into AC. Inverter power supplies immediately rectify the incoming AC to DC, and then the transistors create a higher frequency AC. The higher frequency AC then goes on to a much smaller main transformer than in a conventional power supply.
