5.1 Unpacking the Machine

Carefully remove the machine from the packaging, 

we recommend  you retain the packaging until the 

machine has been fully installed and tested incase it 

has been damaged in transit and has to be returned to 

the re-seller.

5.2 Location

Be sure to locate the welder according to the following 

guidelines:

In areas, free from moisture and dust. 

Ambient temperature between 0-40

0

C.

In areas, free from oil, steam and corrosive gases.

In areas, not subjected to abnormal vibration or shock.

In areas not exposed to direct sunlight or rain.

Place at a distance of 12” (300 mm) or more from 

walls or similar that could restrict natural airflow for 

cooling.

5.3 Input and grounding connection 

WARNING

Before starting the installation, check that your 

power supply is adequate for the voltage, amperage, 

phase, and frequency specified on the Machine 

nameplate.

Operate the welding power source from a single-

phase 50/60 Hz, AC power supply. The input voltage 

must match one of the electrical input voltages shown 

on the input data label on the unit nameplate. The 

XTI-161 RC machine should only be used on 230v 

supply. Refer to the specifications table for voltage 

tolerances. The XTI-161 DV will automatically switch 

between 110 or 230V input with adjustment of the 

machine. 

Have a qualified electrician connect the input plug. 

For long runs over 30m , larger copper wires should 

be used. The green/yellow wire in the input cable 

connects to the frame of the machine. This ensures 

proper grounding of the machine when the machine 

plug is inserted into the receptacle.

5.4 Output Polarity Connections

Electrode polarity

MMA electrodes are generally connected to the ‘+’ 

terminal and the work lead to the ‘-‘terminal

But if in doubt consult the electrode manufacturer’s 

literature.

IF TIG welding the torch should always be connected 

to the ‘-’ terminal.

5.5 Torch installation

MMA cable connections
Connect electrode lead to positive terminal

TIG welding cable connection
Connect the TIG torch to the - terminal

5.6  Work return lead connection

MMA cable connections

Connect work lead to negative terminal

TIG welding
Connect the work return lead to the + terminal

6.0 Operation

WARNING

When using an open arc process, it is necessary to 

use correct eye, head, and body protection.

6.1 MMA Welding Guide

Effects of MMA welding various materials

High tensile and alloy steels
The two most prominent effects of welding these 

steels are the formation of a hardened zone in the 

weld area, and, if suitable precautions are not taken, 

the occurrence in this zone of under-bead cracks. 

Hardened zone and under-bead cracks in the weld 

area may be reduced by using the correct electrodes, 

preheating, using higher current settings, using larger 

electrodes sizes, short runs for larger electrode 

deposits or tempering in a furnace.

Manganese steels
The effect on manganese steel of slow cooling from 

high temperatures is enbrittlement. For this reason it 

is absolutely essential to keep manganese steel cool 

during welding by quenching after each weld or skip
