Electrical Connection

Your Invertig 201 AC/DC operates on single-phase 230 volt 
power (+/- 20%).  The machine is not shipped with a plug.  The 
input power cord has 3 wires. The yellow-green wire is ground, 
and the blue and brown wires are the hot leads.

Input power and will require a 30-amp circuit when operating at 
200 amps. 

All electrical connections should be performed by a qualified 
electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and 
local codes and ordinances.

Front Panel Controls

 (See Fig. 1)

1. Power Indicator Lamp 

 

This lamp is illuminated when the On-Off switch on the back of 
your Invertig 201 is turned to the 1 or “On” position, indicating 
the unit is correctly connected to 220 volt AC power.

2. Welding Current Indicator Lamp

 

When either the foot pedal or the trigger switch on the TIG 
torch is depressed, welding current will be applied to the 
welding torch and the Welding Current Indicator Lamp will be 
illuminated.

If your Invertig 201 AC/DC is in the stick-welding mode, the 
welding current indicator lamp will be illuminated all the time.

3. Thermoswitch Indicator Lamp

 

The thermoswitch indicator lamp will light up when the duty 
cycle of your Invertig 201 AC/DC has been exceeded.  When 
this lamp is illuminated, the machine will no longer weld 
because the machine has overheated.  Leave the machine 
plugged in and turned on so the cooling fans can cool the unit 
down.  Allow the machine to cool for 15 to 30 minutes, the 
thermoswitch should reset automatically and your Invertig will 
be ready to weld.

4. Welding Volts - Digital Display

 

The Welding Volts Digital Display is a multi function display.  
When you are welding, this displays the welding voltage.  

Pressing other touch pad buttons will display other parameters 
in the "VOLTS" display.  Those displays will be covered in the 
section covering those touch pad buttons.

5. Welding Amps - Digital Display

 

The Welding Amps Digital Display is a multi function display.  
When you are welding, this displays welding amperage.

Pressing other touch pad buttons will display other parameters 
in the “APMS” display.  Those displays will be covered in the 
section covering those touch pad buttons.
