To select TIG welding process, proceed as
follows:
Follow safety precautions according to
Section 1.
Prepare unit according Section 3.
Connect torch to the WORK connector 3
and the gas pipe to the gas connector 5.
Using a cable with a proper adapter, con-
nect work clamp cable to the MIG gun con-
nector.
If using a water-cooled torch, connect input
coolant hose to blue quick connect fitting
and return coolant hose to red quick con-
nect fitting.
.
Check coolant level after attaching
torch coolant hoses and running cool-
er. Be sure coolant appears in upper
half of indicator. Add coolant if neces-
sary (see Section 3-9).
Turn unit On.
Allow time for unit to complete its start up
cycle.
Set TIG welding process using P3 push
button.
Purge air from torch gas hose using Torch
Trigger (Manual Purge).
Select trigger mode using P7 push button
(see Section 4-7).
Setting Initial And Final Amperage (only
in MENU FULL)
To set initial and final amperage, proceed
as follows:
Press P2 to enter SET UP menu.
Select MENU FULL on D1 and D2 (see
Section 4-9).
Use E1 to change D1 to IN
−
A.
D2 value is default setting of 20 A (range is
0 A to 350 A).
Use E2 to change D2 value.
This parameter allows starting the welding
process at a lower initial amperage setting.
Use E1 to change D1 to FI
−
A.
D2 value is default setting of 20 A (range is
0 A to 350 A).
Use E2 to change D2 value.
This parameter allows finishing the welding
process at a lower final amperage setting.
Setting Postflow (only in MENU FULL)
Select MENU FULL on D1 and D2 (see
Section 4-9).
Use E1 to change D1 to POSG.
D2 value is default setting of 0.1 second
(range is 0.0 seconds to 10.0 seconds).
Use E2 to change D2 value.
Setting Cooler Status (only in MENU
FULL)
.
To prevent damage to water-cooled
torch components, be sure that cool-
ant is turned on.
Select MENU FULL on D1 and D2 (see
Section 4-9).
Use E1 to change D1 to W
−
UN.
D2 value is default setting of ON.
Use E2 to change D2 value to OFF, if appli-
cable.
