Position 1 LED diode signal a chosen welding me -
thode - MMA.
Position 2 LED signal a chosen welding methode - TIG.
Position 3 Display shows the set value.
Position 4 LED signalize a set value for keeping func -
tion of HOT START (only for MMA me -
thode) – the duration of function HOT
START is possible to set in range of 0-2 s.
Position 5 LED signalised setting values welding cu -
rrent pulse frequency (for TIG method) can
be set from 0 to 500 Hz.
Position 6 MET button to select the method of MMA
(stick electrode) or TIG.
Position 7 LED signalised setting values welding cu -
rrent run - for TIG, in MMA method this
diode signalizing the security features VRD.
Position 8 LED signalised of activation ARC FORCE
(only for MMA method) or setting the va -
lue ending welding current (for TIG).
Position 9 SET button for selecting of each function
(check of the set value or its change)
Position 10 LED indicating the setting values of welding
current (common for MMA and TIG).
Position 11 LED indicating the setting values of welding
current (common for MMA and TIG). LED
signalising setting values for HOT START
(only for MMA method) - the percentage
increasing in the welding current at the
beginning of the welding process. Function
% HOT START can be adjusted between 0
(function disabled) to increase the maxi -
mum starting current of 100 % (maximum
of 150 A or 190 A depending on the type of
machine).

Position 1 Main switch. In position „0“ the welding
machine is OFF.
Position 2 Power cord.
Position 3 Quick minus pole.
Position 4 Quick plus pole.
Position 5 Remote connector.
Position 6 Encoder control.
Position 7 Digital panel.
Connection of the welding cables
With the machine disconnected from the supply, co -
nnect the welding cables, welding torch and earth-ca -
ble. The polarity must be choosen according to welding
method. For MMA method the polarity determines the
producer of electrodes according to their type. The wel -
ding cables should be as short as possible, close to each
other, and positioned at floor or close to it.
Welding part
The material which should be welded, must always be
connected to the ground for reducing of electromag -
netic radiation. Special attention must also be given to
grounding of the welding material to not increase the
risk of injury or damage to other electrical equipment.
Setting of the welding parameters
Start the machine (restart from the MMA method)
After turning the machine is first shown on the display
for about 2 seconds statues of security functions V.R.D.
(On/OFF). After that is displayed for another 2 seconds
setting of the function ARC FORCE: AF0 - function is off,
AF1 - additional energy for shortening the arc 50 %, AF2
- additional energy for shortening the arc 100 %. During
this condition is possible between different settings to
choose ARC FORCE rotary encoder. Then is shown the
set current welding size and signaling method MMA.
Starting the machine (restart from the TIG method)
After the switching the machine on it is shown the set
size of welding current and signaling the TIG method.
Setting of the welding method
After turning the machine back to the last selected wel -
ding method before shutting down. Press the button
MET (pos. 6, pic. 1), you can choose the second method
of welding.
Setting of welding parameters
for individual methods
Possibility of adjustment parameters
for MMA method:
• Welding current 10 - 150 A (series 160), 10 - 190 A
(series 200)
• Increase the value of starting current HOT START
0 - 100 % welding current, max. 150 A (series 160),
190 A (series 200).
• Reduction the value of starting current SOFT START
0 to -90 % welding current with continuous increase.
• Starting time of the activity current 0 to 2.0 s.
