8) Output power switch.

 This switch has 3 positions 

the top position selects DC output in TIG or MMA 

mode. The centre position selects AC output in MMA 

or TIG mode and the bottom position allows a gas test 

or purge to be performed when TIG welding.

9) Initial Current/Hotstart 

This control is dual function

in TIG mode it sets the  start level for the welding 

current as a percentage of the main welding current. 

In MMA mode it allows adjustment of the welding 

current surge on arc striking to give reliable arc 

striking in all conditions.

10) Cleaning Control

. This control allows the balance 

of the AC wave to be altered so increasing or reducing 

the cleaning effect when AC TIG welding.

11) Water flow failure indicator 

This light illuminates 

when the water flow is to low when using a water 

cooled.

12) Torch selector switch

, when using a water cooled 

TIG torch this switch should be in the WATER position, 

in this position if the water flow is to low then the 

indicator light (11) will illuminate and the welding 

power with be cut off in order to prevent damage to 

the torch. For use with a air cooled torch the switch 

should be in the AIR position or the machine will not 

operate

13) Post Gas,

 this allows control of the post gas flow 

at the end of a weld when in TIG mode. It is adjustable 

from 3 to 10 seconds.

14) Downslope/Arc force.

 This control is dual 

function.

in TIG mode it controls the downslope time for the 

welding current after the trigger is released from 0 to 

10 seconds.

In MMA mode it allows adjustment of the welding Arc 

force so giving control of penetration.

15) Amperage Display

. Displays the welding 

amperage.

16) Main amperage control.

 This control is used to 

control the welding current in TIG and MMA modes.

17) Gas Output connection

 

This is a 3/8 BSP connection for the gas 

output used in TIG welding.

18) Negative connection.

 This is used to connect 

the earth lead in MMA welding or the torch in TIG 

welding.

19) Control socket 

This is used to control the machine 

remotely using a trigger or amperage control

20) Posative connection

 This is used to connect the 

electrode holder in MMA or the earth lead in TIG 

welding.

21) Water out connection 

for a water cooled TIG torch

5.0 Installation

Read entire installation section before starting 

installation.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Only qualified personnel should perform this 

installation.

• Only personnel that have read and understood the 

Operating Manual should install and operate this 

equipment.

• Machine must be grounded per any national, local 

or other applicable electrical regulations.

• The power switch is to be in the OFF position when 

installing work cable and electrode cable and when 

connecting other equipment.

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 3-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-303 ACDC machine should only be used on 400V 

supply. Refer to the specifications table for voltage 

tolerances. 

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.
