A ("HOT START") for a stable ignition. In the process, the welding arc will oscillate in the
amplitude from 100 A to 50 A with a frequency of 50 oscillations in 1 second. These
parameters are set in different situations differently, according to the requirements of the
welder.
5.2 Function of AC welding using coated electrode ММА АС
This function is used in cases when it is necessary to avoid the effect of magnetic
blowing on the arc during welding using coated electrode.
To activate this function, the parameter value « Current type » should be changed on
«АС». After that, AC welding will occur with a frequency of 50Hz and a balance of polarity
50%.
6. PUTTING INTO OPERATION
WARNING!
Before putting into operation, read the section "Safety Rules".
6.1 Using according to the purpose
The welding machine is designed exclusively for manual arc welding with an artificial
electrode, as well as for TIG welding in the argon environment.
The other use of the device is considered to be one that does not fit the purpose. The
manufacturer is not responsible for the losses caused by the use of the device not for the
purpose.
The use according to the purpose involves compliance with the instructions of this
manual.
6.2 Requirement for placement
The welding machine can be placed and operated outdoors. The inner electrical parts
of the machine are protected from the direct impact of moisture.
WARNING! The machine after a strong fall can be dangerous for life, so it must be
installed on a solid stable surface.
It is necessary to place the machine so that the unimpeded entrance and exit of the
cooling air through the ventilation openings on the front and rear panels was provided.
Make sure that metal dust (for example, during grinding with sandpaper) is not sucking
directly into the machine with a cooling fan.
6.3 Connection to the mains
The welding machine of a serial production is designed for the mains voltage:
1. 190-260 V for the model ProTIG-200 AC/DC.
WARNING! While using ProTIG-200
AC/DC with a power voltage higher than 300V, all the manufacturer's warranty obligations
cease to have effect!
2. 380-400 V for the model ProTIG-315-400V AC/DC.
Network socket, cross section of the power mains cables and mains fuses should be
selected based on the technical data of the machine.
