12 Digital Display – Amps or m/min
During welding actual welding Amps will be
displayed and then held for 30 seconds after
the end of the weld.
Stick Mode (MMAW) or TIG Mode (GTAW):
The Amps Indicator (7) light will be on and the
selected welding Amps will be displayed when
adjusted with Weld Current & Wire Speed
Adjustment Control (11).
MIG Mode (GMAW):
The m/min Indicator
light (6) will be on and the wire speed in
metres per minute (m/min) will be displayed
when adjusted with Weld Current & Wire
Speed Adjustment Control (11).
13 Voltage Adjustment Control/
Purge Button
Stick Mode:
Adjusts Arc Force (0-10). When
the welding machine detects a sudden drop
in the weld arc voltage, the machine will
compensate momentarily by increasing the
weld current and weld voltage. A higher arc
force might be useful for difficult electrodes
such as Cellulose.
MIG Mode:
Adjusts weld volts.
Purge:
Press to open the gas solenoid valve
without energising the welding power source.
14 Digital Display – Volts
During welding actual welding Volts will be
displayed and then held for 30 seconds after
the end of the weld.
Stick Mode:
The amount of Arc Force (0-10)
will be displayed.
MIG Mode:
Weld Volts will be displayed when
adjusted with Voltage Adjustment Control (13).
15 Arc Control
When in MIG (GMAW) mode the harshness
of the arc can be adjusted.
For example aluminium welding would
require a different setting to steel welding.
16 Mode Selection Button
Press this button to step between modes.
A mode is selected when the light is on.
There are three weld modes available:
• Stick Electrode Welding (MMAW)
• TIG Welding (GTAW): Lift arc start, using
TIG welding torch with separate gas supply.
• MIG Welding (GMAW)
Using MIG welding torch and gas-
shielded or gasless welding wire.
17 Latch Select Button and Indicator
Press this button to select and deselect
Latch Mode. When Latch Mode is selected,
the operator needs to close the gun switch
momentarily to commence welding, and
again momentarily to end welding. This can
help to reduce operator fatigue during long
welding runs.
18 Gas Select Button and Indicator
Press to select which type of gas is being
used, or if gasless wire is being used. See
page 14 for information on selecting the
shielding gas.
19 Wire Select Button and Indicator
Press to select the wire size being used.
200i: Sizes 0.6, 0.8mm or 0.9mm
250i: Sizes 0.8, 0.9mm or 1.2mm
When Gas setting is set to Gasless then there
is no need to select wire size. Sizes 0.8mm,
0.9mm or 1.2mm can be used.
