Setup Guide

 

Getting Started 

SELECT THE PROPER TIG POLARITY AND CONNECTIONS. 

Selecting polarity for TIG is quite simple.  The torch will always be 
connected to the negative (

-

) output terminal located on the right.  

This is whether it is welding in DC or in AC.  Once the TIG torch is in 
the negative terminal, there is no need to ever change it.  Selecting 
the wrong polarity with TIG will quickly consume your tungsten.  It 
will ball up and draw back to the collet body after only a few seconds 
when the arc is initiated, especially when higher amperages are used.  
Many times the arc will even be hard to start, since the HF starting 
energy would be flowing the wrong way. Of course that means the 
work clamp is in the positive (+) terminal on the left

 

The TIG torch switch or the Foot Pedal is connected to the 7 pin 

control connector.  This allows you to select 2T or 4T control with 

the torch switch OR foot pedal control.  Since there is only one con-

nector, you will need to determine which operation you will use and 

select either the TIG torch switch or the Foot Pedal and plug it in. 

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN AIR COOLED AND 
WATER COOLED TORCH. 

An air

-

cooled and water

-

cooled torch connects differently.  An air 

cooled torch for this unit will have one line exiting from the DINSE 
Connector. This is the gas/argon line. The water cooled torch will 
have 3 lines. Two descending from the torch, and one exiting from 
the DINSE type connector. Traditionally, the black line descending 
down from the torch will be the argon line.  (Some brands vary 

 

WARNING!

 

A water

-

cooled torch must be operated with a water

-

cooler or per-

manent damage will occur to the torch.  Any operation without water 
can damage the torch. There is no safe amp limit for operation with-
out water. If you have a water cooled torch and no cooler, you must 
order a cooler before you use the torch, or purchase a separate air

-

cooled torch.  If an air cooled torch is purchased, observe the amp 
limits of the torch. The largest air

-

cooled torch (26 series) maximum 

amperage at 60% duty cycle is 200A DC, and 175 AC.  If Amperages 
are to be welded over that, you must purchase a water cooler. Torch-
es operated without water, or sustained amperage over their rating 
and duty cycle, are not eligible for warranty replacement. Always 
match the torch to the job.  Usually most users find that one torch is 
not enough and several torches may need to be purchased to suit 
different welding applications. Each torch size/class has different 
amp limitations.  Know these limitations before using!

 

in color coding, so match the color codes of the torch to the cooler 
couplings for best results).  The line exiting from the DINSE connect-
or is no longer a gas line but a water line.  Traditionally this line is 
the return line to the water cooler. The remaining line will be the 
input line from the water cooler.  If in doubt, blow through the torch 
lightly with compressed air to determine torch flow through the hos-
es. Some NOVA torches use the line from the DINSE connector as 
the input.  Follow the color coding used by NOVA.
