4. Configuració

Una configuració adequada és crucial per a un funcionament segur i eficient.

4.1 Connexió d'alimentació

• The TIG-200P ACDC supports dual voltage input (110V/220V). Ensure the correct power cord and plug are used for your power supply.
• Connect the welder to a dedicated circuit with appropriate overcurrent protection.

4.2 Cl mòltamp Connexió

• Connecteu la terra clamp cable to the appropriate terminal on the welder.
• Enganxa el terra clamp securely to the workpiece or a sturdy metal workbench that is electrically connected to the workpiece.

4.3 TIG Torch Connection

• Connect the TIG torch cable to the designated TIG torch connector on the front panel.
• Assegureu-vos que la connexió sigui estreta i segura.

4.4 Gas Regulator and Cylinder Connection

Connect the gas regulator to your Argon or Argon/CO2 gas cylinder. The regulator comes with various connection options for compatibility.

• Ensure the gas cylinder is secured upright.
• Attach the regulator to the cylinder valve, ensuring a tight seal.
• Connect the gas hose from the regulator to the gas inlet on the welder.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

Follow these steps for basic operation of your TIG-200P ACDC welder.

5.1 Engegada i selecció de mode

1. Turn on the main power switch located on the rear of the machine.
2. Utilitza el Botó de mode de soldadura (1 in Figure 4) to cycle through STICK, AC TIG, DC TIG, AC Pulse TIG, DC Pulse TIG, and Spot Welding modes.
3. Utilitza el Operation Mode Buttons (2 and 3 in Figure 4) to navigate through sub-modes or parameter groups.

5.2 Ajust de paràmetres

The large LED display (6 in Figure 4) will show the current selected parameter. Use the Parameter Adjusting knob (5 in Figure 4) to modify values.

• Corrent (A): Adjust welding amperage based on material thickness and type.
• Pulse Features: For Pulse TIG modes, adjust pulse frequency (Hz), pulse width, and background current.
• Balanç de CA: For AC TIG, adjust the AC balance to control cleaning action and penetration.
• Downslope & Post Gas: Adjust downslope time to gradually reduce current at the end of a weld, and post-gas flow time to protect the cooling weld puddle and tungsten.
• Arrencada en calent i força d'arc: For STICK welding, these parameters assist with arc ignition and prevent electrode sticking.

5.3 Aluminum Welding (AC TIG)

The TIG-200P ACDC utilizes a software-controlled square wave for AC TIG, which is ideal for welding aluminum up to 4/25" (approximately 4mm). Adjusting the AC balance and frequency is key to achieving optimal results with aluminum.

5.4 Gas Flow Adjustment

• Obriu lentament la vàlvula de la bombona de gas.
• Adjust the regulator knob to set the desired gas flow rate (CFH) as indicated by the ball in the flow tube. Typical TIG welding flow rates range from 10-20 CFH.

6. Manteniment

Un manteniment regular garanteix la longevitat i el rendiment òptim del vostre soldador.

• Neteja: Periodically clean the welder's exterior with a dry, soft cloth. Use compressed air to blow out dust from inside the machine, especially from cooling vents. Ensure the machine is unplugged before cleaning.
• Inspecció del cable: Regularly inspect all welding cables, power cords, and gas hoses for cuts, cracks, or damage. Replace damaged components immediately.
• Consumibles: Check and replace TIG torch consumables (tungsten electrodes, collets, collet bodies, nozzles) as needed. Ensure tungsten is properly ground.
• Connexions: Verify that all electrical and gas connections are tight and secure.

7. Solució De Problemes

Aquesta secció tracta els problemes habituals que podeu trobar. Per a problemes que no figuren aquí, poseu-vos en contacte amb l'atenció al client.

7.1 Sense poder

• Comproveu el cable d'alimentació: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the welder and the power outlet.
