Introduction
General Description
ASPECT
®
200
machine is designated to performe MMA
(SMAW) and TIG (GTAW) welding process in DC and AC
current.
Unit is designed mainly to satisfy TIG requestes in both
DC and AC mode: thanks an advance menu options both
beginners and experts welder can adjust welding
parameters to have the best welding performances.
Following paragraphs will show how to access to the
menu and the parameters tha can be set.
The following equipment has been added to

Installation and Operator Instructions
Read this entire section before installation or operation of
the machine.
Location and Environment
This machine will operate in harsh environments.
However, it is important that simple preventative
measures are followed to assure long life and reliable
operation.
Do not place or operate this machine on a surface with
an incline greater than 15° from horizontal.
Do not use this machine for pipe thawing.
This machine must be located where there is free
circulation of clean air without restrictions for air
movement to and from the air vents. Do not cover the
machine with paper, cloth or rags when switched on.
Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the machine
should be kept to a minimum.
This machine has a protection rating of IP23. Keep it
dry when possible and do not place it on wet ground
or in puddles.
Locate the machine away from radio controlled
machinery. Normal operation may adversely affect
the operation of nearby radio controlled machinery,
which may result in injury or equipment damage.
Read the section on electromagnetic compatibility in
this manual.
Do not operate in areas with an ambient temperature
greater than 40°C.
Input Supply Connection
Check the input voltage, phase, and frequency supplied to
this machine before turning it on. The allowable input
voltage is indicated in the technical specification section of
this manual and on the rating plate of the machine. Be
sure that the machine is grounded.
Make sure the amount of power available from the input
connection is adequate for normal operation of the
machine. The fuse rating and cable sizes are both
indicated in the "Technical Specification" section of this
manual.
The machines are designed to operate on engine driven
generators as long as the auxiliary can supply adequate
voltage, frequency and power as indicated in the
"Technical Specification" section of this manual. The
auxiliary supply of the generator must also meet the
following conditions:
240Vac 1 phases:
Vac peak voltage: below 280V
Vac frequency: in the range of 50 and 60Hz
RMS voltage of the AC waveform: 234Vac ± 15%
115Vac 1 phases:
Vac frequency: in the range of 50 and 60Hz
RMS voltage of the AC waveform: 115Vac ± 15%
Note:
if connected @ 115Vac the equipment has output
derating
It is important to check these conditions because many
engine driven generators produce high voltage spikes.
Operation of this machine on engine driven generators not
conforming to these conditions is not recommended and
may damage the machine.
Caution: To provide fully performance of duty cycle You
need to change overcurrent protection for 25A type D and
change for a proper input plug (or connect directly to a
power network)
Example:
Output Connections
A quick disconnect system using Twist-Mate
cable
plugs is used for the welding cable connections. Refer to
the following sections for more information on connecting
the machine for operation of M welding (MMA) or TIG
welding (GTAW).
Table 1.
Quick Disconnect: Torch (for MMA and
GTAW process) output connector for the
welding circuit.
Quick Disconnect: workpiece output
connector for the welding circuit.
