DUTY CYCLE
Special note:
If this welders duty cycle is exceeded the welder will enter “thermal overload” which will
automatically stop the welding output in order to protect, both the user and the welder. You will know
the welder has gone into thermal overload when the overload error indicator light is illuminated.
The welder will then cool itself down, and once the overload error indicator light is no longer
illuminated, welding can then re-commence.
Please note. Exceeding the machine’s duty cycle, cannot be considered grounds for warranty or
return.
The term duty cycle indicates the percentage welding time available at the output current for each 10 min
period over 4 hours,
The specification plate on the machine list three given ratings at a given current and voltage.
NOTE: Amps refer to the Current setting - TIG DC setting duty cycle shown

14.4 Volts
For example this means when the machine is set at a current of 170 Amps in TIG-AC it can only weld for
Two an a half minutes in a Ten minute period. The power source is protected by a built in temperature
protection device, This will activate if the machine is operated in excess of its amperage and duty cycle
rating.
