2. TIG Operation
Note: TIG operation requires an argon gas supply.
2.1 Connect the earth cable quick connector to the
positive welding power output socket (1). Con-
nect the earth clamp to the work piece. Contact
with the work piece must be firm contact with
clean, bare metal, with no corrosion, paint or
scale at the contact point.
2.2 Insert TIG torch power connection into the nega-
tive welding power output socket (3). Connect
TIG torch remote plug to remote socket (4) and
torch gas connection to the TIG gas outlet (2).
2.3 Connect the machine to suitable mains power
using the mains input power lead. Switch the
mains power switch to ‘on’ to power up the ma-
chine. Set the welding mode button (5) to ‘Lift
TIG’ (7) or ‘HF TIG’ (8).
2.4 Assemble the female gas quick connector to
the gas line and to the regulator outlet fitting.
Connect the gas regulator to a gas cylinder (not
included with machine) and connect the female
quick connector to the male gas inlet on the rear
of the machine.
Ensure all connections are tight. Open gas cyl-
inder valve and adjust regulator, flow should be
between 5-10 l/min depending on application.
Re-check regulator flow pressure with the torch
triggered as static gas flow setting may drop
once gas is flowing.
2.5 Set the welding parameters as required followng
the instructions in the previous section. You are
now ready to weld!
Please note, the ADVANCETIG 200 is a DC (Direct Current) output
welder only. This means that it is unable to TIG weld reactive
metals such as Aluminium alloys and Brass (which require AC
output). DC TIG output is suitable for steel, stainless steel and
copper.
The ADVANCETIG AC/DC series are the models in the range de-
signed for TIG welding aluminium and its alloys.
