REVERSING POLARITY
MIG Welding with Gas:
Connect the BLACK cable to the - (Ground)
Connect the RED cable to the + (MIG Welding Gun)
MIG Welding without Gas
Connect the BLACK cable to the + (Ground)
Connect the RED cable to the - (MIG Welding Gun)
Use the appropriate tool (provided inside the wire
compartment) to loosen/tighten the nuts for all polarity
reversals.
ADVANCED SETTINGS “SET”
While post-flow time is fixed at 3 seconds and start time
is fixed at 0.3 seconds, you can adjust the start speed
from 10 to 100% (the default start speed value is 35%).
You can also adjust burn back from 0 to 10. A burn
back setting of 0 provides the most stick out, while a
burn back setting of 10 provides the least stick out.
Depending on the wire type and diameter, higher burn
back settings may cause burn back into and damage of
the contact tip. To adjust the start speed or burn back
parameters, follow these instructions:
 Turn the V/SET knob (Fig. 2, #12) to the desired
position (use the white scale, numbered from 1-10).
 Hold down the buttons corresponding to the setting
you want to change (Fig. 2, #8 and #9 for burn back
and Fig. 2, #8 and #10 for start speed) until you hear
a continuous sound after three (3) shorter sounds.
At this point, the setting is stored and you can proceed
as usual.
NOTE: TO RESET THE DEFAULT VALUE OF
THE START SPEED OR BURN BACK
PARAMETERS, HOLD DOWN BUTTONS 7 AND
8 (Fig. 2) UNTIL YOU HEAR A CONTINUOUS
SOUND AFTER THREE (3) SHORTER SOUNDS.
SPOOL GUN KIT
The HTP MIG 200i also operates with an optional
spool gun. You can locate the connection
specifications for the spool gun within the optional
spool gun kit (sold separately).
To activate the Spool Gun mode, hold down the Mode
Selection key until you hear an acoustic signal. In the
Spool Gun mode, the wire speed changes and this is
indicated by a continuous blinking of the LED which
corresponds to the mode being used.
NOTE: The HTP MIG 200i does not feature a TIG
welding mode.
OVERCURRENT PROTECTION
If the welding current is more than 200 Amps, the MIG
200i automatically reduces the wire speed and the
welding parameters. In this case, the Overheat Alarm
LED (Fig. 2, #2) blinks until the operator sets the
welding parameters lower than those previously set
which caused activation of the MIG 200i’s overcurrent
protection.
