2.0 Product Description

This welding machine is manufactured using advanced 

inverter technology.   The input voltage is rectified to 

DC and then inverted to high frequency AC voltage. 

before being converted back to DC for the output .This 

allows the use of a much smaller transformer and so 

allowing weight saving and improved power efficiency.

voltage

10-26.6V

Output Current

10-315A DC

Control Plug 

  The link between 1 and 2 should only be fitted when 

using a foot control or other remote current control. 

The wire colours shown are for the Parweld Ergo TIG 

torch.

4.0 Description of Controls

1) ON OFF Switch

 for switching on or off the mains 

supply to the machine. Note the output of the 

machine is permanently on in MMA mode unless the 

on/off switch is in the off position.

2) Gas input connection 

3/8 BSP male connection for 

TIG welding Gas.

3) Water input connection

, input of cooling water 

when using a water cooled TIG torch.

4) Power light

 This indicates mains power is applied 

to the machine and that the machine is currently 

switched on when the light is illuminated 

5) Fault light

 This indicates a fault or over temperature 

condition with the machine refer to the fault finding 

section for further information

6) TIG mode

, this toggles between LIFT-ARC mode and 

HF start TIG. 

7) Process selector switch

. This switch has 3 positions 

the top position selects MMA welding and will latch 

on the output when in this position. The centre 

position is TIG welding with 2 touch trigger control 

(momentary). The bottom position is TIG welding with 

4 touch control (latching)
