POWER SUPPLY – STARTING UP
• This hardware is supplied wih a 16A plug, type CEE7/7 (Standard 13A UK plug in the United Kingdom). The machine
must be connected to a socket WITH earth 230V (50 – 60 Hz). The absorbed effective current (I1eff) is displayed on the
machine, for optimal use. Check that the power supply and its protection (fuse and/or circuit breaker) are compatible
with the current needed by the machine. In some countries, it may be necessary to change the plug to allow the use
at maximum settings. Prefer a 20A socket for the 130P, 25 A for the 160P and 32A for the 200P in intensive use. The
device must be positioned so that the socket is always accessible.
• Starting the 100P, 130P, 160P et 200P is done by positionning the switch on the desired current value (the sleep mode
corresponds to the « » value of the potentiometer).
CONNECTION ON A GENERATOR
The machine can work with generators as long as the auxiliary power matches these requirements :
- The voltage must be AC, always set as specified, and the peak voltage below 400V,
- The frequency must be between 50 and 60 Hz.
It is imperative to check these requirements as several generators generate high voltage peaks that can damage these
machines.
MMA WELDING (ELECTRODE)
CONNECTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
• Connect the cables, electrode holder and earth clamp in the connectors,
• Respect the welding polarity and required current indicated on the electrodes boxes,
• Remove the electrode from the electrode holder when the machine is not in use.
• Your machine has 3 features exclusive to Inverters :
- Hot Start delivers initial overcurrent to facilitate easy arc striking.
- Arc Force adjusts the arc voltage to compensate for the arc length increasing/decreasing
- Anti-Sticking technology prevents your electrode sticking to the work piece
• The welding machine has a constant voltage output in MMA. Duty cycles
• The duty cycle following the norm EN60974-1 is indicated in the table here below:

While under intensive use exceeding the duty cycle (> to duty cycle) the thermal protection can turn on, in this case, the
machine swictes off and the thermal protection indicator light switches on until the machine returns to normal operting
temperature. The tests have been realized at 40 °C.
TIG WELDING WITH INERT GAS (TIG MODE DC)
These machines can weld DC TIG with scratch start (100P/130P/160P/200P) and with LIFT ignition (E160/E200FV.
Requires optional valve controlled TIG torch
TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptoms
Causes
Remedies
The 2 indicators are on, the machine
does not deliver any current.
The thermal protection has switched
on.
Wait for the end of the cooling cycle.
The green indicator is on, but the
machine does not weld.
Fault with earth clamp/cable connec-
tion.
Check the connections
The product is under voltage, you are
feeling tingling when touching the
machine's body.
The earth contact is faulty.
Check the plug and the earth of your
installation.
The machine welds poorly.
Polarity error (+/-).
Check the polarity (+/-) recom-
mended on the electrode box.
