Digital display
The control panel is equipped with a green
LED display showing the welding current.
During standby, the pre-set welding current
is displayed while the mean current is
shown during welding.
Disconnection error
A yellow LED indicates that the machine is
overheated due to overloading. When the
situation is back to normal, the machine will
reconnect automatically. Therefore, welding
cables are to be placed so as to avoid the
risk of unintended establishment of the arc
when the machine reconnects.
Welding voltage
For safety reasons, the welding voltage
LED shines if the electrode or the torch is
under voltage.
Congratulations on your new TIG Scout 160 HP welding machine!
To protect yourself and others, please also read and understand the instruction manual before using the machine.
1.
Connect the machine to 1 x 230 V mains voltage (16A mains fuse for max. welding power). Please note that all cable
connections must be made by authorised and qualified staff.
2.
For TIG welding, connect argon as a shielding gas or, for MMA welding, use coated electrodes up to ø3.2 mm.
3.
Switch on the machine and adjust the welding current and other parameters to the specific welding operation.
4.
In addition to the standard configuration, the machine can be supplied with a variety of accessories for individual
adjustment, such as 4 m or 8 m TIG welding hose with different torch bodies, earth cable of different length,
remote control, foot switch, etc.
5.
As TIG welding and MMA welding are subject to the same protection class, use of protective equipment, such as
respiratory protection, welding gloves, goggles etc. is mandatory according to national regulations. Surroundings
must also be protected against light, sparks, etc.

Welding current
Welding current is adjusted by means of this button. The
current is adjustable from 10 A to 160A.
Function switch
This switch is used to choose between
MMA or TIG welding, between two-stroke
and four-stroke in TIG welding, and to
choose ignition method in TIG welding.
.
Two-stroke:
This symbol means contact-free striking.
The arc is established when the Tungsten
electrode is quite close to the welding
spot (1 or 2 mm). The torch trigger is
activated and must be kept pressed down. The welding
process will stop when the torch trigger is deactivated. The
arc will extinguish after the period of slope-down time.
