SECTION 2 – INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION
2.0 INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION
2.1 GENERAL
This manual is intended to be a guide to the understanding of the SANARG 160P welding
machine and process requirements. The application outlined is typical and serves only to illustrate and
explain the relationship of power source to the process. Selecting the correct power source depends
upon process requirements.
This manual will concentrate only on safety and the operational aspects of the welding power
source.
2.2 WELDING MACHINE DESCRIPTION
The SanRex SANARG 160P is an inverter based DC Power Source Unit that is capable of
providing Constant Current (CC) output characteristics when powered from an external power source
capably of supplying 115/230 VAC single-phase power.
The160P conveniently locates, on its front control panel, a digital Amperage/Voltage meter,
Output Control functions and Voltage Reduction Device (VRD) status.
The 160P is also equipped with lift-arc and high-frequency (HF) arc starter for use in Gas
Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). A Sloper mode for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding-Sloped (GTAW-S)
process and a Pulser mode for the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding-Pulsed (GTAW-P) as well as user settable
Hot Start for use with GTAW and Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) processes are standard and
fully adjustable.
The 160P incorporates high-performance microcontrollers to achieve complete digital control.
The 160P is designed with a flame and impact resistant non-conductive plastic case enclosure .
