Product

General
The welding machine is a rectifier adopting the most advanced inverter technology. The development of welding equipment benefits from the appearance of the inverter power supply theory and components. Inverter arc welding power source utilizes high-power component MOSFET to transfer 50/60Hz frequency up to 100KHz, then reduce the voltage and commutate, and output high-power voltage via PWM technology. Because of the great reduction of the main transformer’s weight and volume; the efficiency increases by 30%. The appearance of inverter welding equipment is considered to be a revolution for welding industry. The welding power source can offer stronger, more concentrated and more stable arc. When the stick and workpiece get short, its response will be quicker. It means that it is easier to design into a welding machine with different dynamic characteristics, and it even can be adjusted for specialty to make arc softer or harder.

TIG welding machine is easy for arc initiation and has the functions of arc initiation current, arc stop current, welding current, basic value current, current ascending time, current descending time, gas delay time, continuous adjustment. What’s more, pulse frequency and pulse duty can also be adjusted independently. It has the characteristics of automatic control of arc initiation, arc stop and stable arc, which make the best result for shape and inner quality of the welding surface. Its exclusive design is specially suitable for bicycle industry. The machine can be for multi-use, and can weld stainless steel, carbon steel, copper and other color metal, and also can use for traditional electric welding. Thanks for purchasing our products and looking forward to your precious advice, we will try our best to perfect our products and service.

WARNING

The machine is mainly used in industrial fields. It will cause radio interference if used indoors. Please take through precaution measures.

Installation

The equipment is equipped with power voltage compensation equipment. When power voltage fluctuates between ±15%, of rated voltage, it still can work normally. When use long cable, in order to prevent voltage from going down, a bigger section of cable is suggested. If the cable is too long, it may affect the performance of the power system. So cables of configured length are suggested.

• Make sure the intake of the machine not blocked or covered, lest the cooling system could not work.
• Make a good connection of the shielded gas source. The gas supply passage includes a cylinder, argon decompress flow meter and pipe. Connecting part of pipe should use a hoop or other things to fasten, lest argon leaks out and the air gets in.
• Ground the earth wire in the power supply cable.
• Correctly connect the arc torch or holder according to the sketch. When use MMA welding: Make sure the cable, holder, and fastening plug have been connected to the ground. Put the fastening plug into the fastening socket at the “-” terminal and fasten it clockwise. When use TIG welding: Put the gas-electricity plug of the welding gun to the joint at the front panel, and fasten it clockwise. Put the air switch on the gun to the relevant joint at the front panel, and fasten the screw.
• Put the fastening plug of the cable to the fastening socket of “+” terminal at the front panel, fasten it clockwise, and the earth clamp at the other terminal clamps the workpiece.
• According to input voltage grade, connect the power cable with the power supply box of the relevant voltage grade. Make sure there is no mistake and the voltage of the power supply does not exceed the permission range. After the above job， installation is finished and welding is available.

WARNING

Before connecting operation please make sure all the power is turned off. The right order is to connect the welding cable and ground cable to the machine first, and make sure they are firmly connected and then put the power plug to the power source.

Operation Instruction
TIG Welding Description

• Turn on the power switch, the digital current meter is working normal, and the fan starts
  running.

• Turn on the argon switch, and set the gas pressure to the rated value.

• Press the switch of torch, electromagnetic valve is started. You will hear the sound of electricity releasing HF sparkle and at the same time, argon gets out the torch.
  Note. If welding for the first time, before operating, please press the switch for a few seconds until all the air in the gas tube is removed. Then, welding could be started. When stopping welding and the electric arc stick out, keep the welding position for a while so that the weld spot could be protected before cooling down for delaying argon. The posting time could be adjusted for TIG 200S and TIG 200P by pressing the post time button or turning the post time knob on the front panel.

• Set the welding current according to the thickness of the workpiece and process demand.

• Keep 2-4mm space between the tungsten pole and workpiece, press torch control switch, and between the electrode and work piece HF electricity is released; After arc initiation, HF sparkle disappears soon and can start to work.

MMA Welding Description

• The open power switch of front panel, fan is beginning to work.
• Make sure the function switch of the front panel is on the “down” position that is sticking. The impulse changeover switch and knob of the current down-slope time will not work.
• Make sure the welding current is adequate to the thickness of work piece

ATTENTION

It is forbidden to pull out or put in the cable or connector during the process of welding, which will threat life safety and damage the machine.

Welding Environment and Safety
Environment

• The machine can perform in an environment where conditions are dry with a dampness level of a max 90%.
• The ambient temperature is between -10 to 40 degrees centigrade.
• Avoid welding in sunshine or drippings. Do not let water enter the gas
• Avoid welding in dust area or the environment with corrosive gas.
• Avoid gas welding in an environment with strong airflow.

Safety norms
Our welding machine has installed a protection circuit of over voltage, over current and overheat. When the voltage, output current and temperature of the machine are exceeding the rate standard, the welding machine will stop working automatically. Because that will be damage to the welding machine, the user must pay attention to the following.

• The working area is adequately ventilated！
  Our welding machine is a powerful machine, when it is being operated, it is generated by high currents, and natural wind can’t be satisfied with machine’s cool demands. So there is a fan in the inter-machine to cool down the machine. Make sure the intake is not in block or covered, it is 0.3 meter from the welding machine to objects of the environment. Users should make sure the working area is adequately ventilated. It is important for the performance and longevity of the machine.

• Do not overload！
  The operator should remember to watch the max duty current (Response to the selected duty cycle).Keep welding current is not exceed max duty cycle current. Over-load current will damage and burn up the machine.

• No overvoltage！
  Power voltage can be found in the diagram of the main technical data. An automatic compensation circuit of voltage will assure that the welding current keeps in the allowable range. If the power voltage is exceeding the allowable range limited, it is damaged to components of the machine. The operator should understand this situation and take preventive measures. If welding time is exceeded duty cycle limited, the welding machine will stop working for protection. The machine is overheated, the temperature control switch is on “ON’’ position and the indicator light is red. In this situation, you don’t have to pull the plug, in order to let the fan cool the machine. When the indicator light is off, and the temperature goes down to the standard range, it can weld again.

Welding Problems and Resolution
Fittings, welding materials, environmental factors, and supply powers maybe have something to do with welding. User must try to improve welding environment.

Black welding spot.
The welding spot is not prevented from oxidizing.User may check as following:

• Make sure the valve of the argon cylinder is opened and its pressure is enough. The Argon cylinder must be filled up to enough pressure again if the pressure of the cylinder is below 0.5Mpa.
• Check if the flow meter is opened and has enough flow. User can choose different flow according to welding current in order to save gas. But too small flow maybe cause a black welding spot because preventive gas is too short to cover the welding spot. We suggest that flow of argon must be kept min 5L/min.
• Check if the torch is in the block.
• If gas passage is not air-tight or gas is not pure can lower welding quality.
• If air is flowing powerfully in the welding environment, that can lower welding quality.

Arc-striking is difficult and easy to pause.

• Make sure the quality of the tungsten electrode is high.
• Grind end of the tungsten electrode to taper. If the tungsten electrode is not ground, that will be difficult to strike arc and cause unstable arc.

Output current not to rated value.
When power voltage departs from the rated value, it will make the output current not matched with rated value; when voltage is lower than rated value, the max output may be lower than rated value.
The current is not stabilizing when the machine is being operated.
It has something with factors as follows.

• Electric wire net voltage has been changed.
• There is harmful interference from electric wire net or other equipment.

When use MMA welding, too much spatter

• Maybe current is too big and stick’s diameter is too small.
• Output terminal polarity connection is wrong, it should apply the opposite polarity at the normal technique, which means that the stick should be connected with the negative polarity of power source, and work piece should be connected with the positive polarity. So please change the polarity.

Daily Maintenance and Checking

Daily maintenance

• Remove dust regularly with dry compressed air. If the welding machine is used in surroundings with heavy smoke and polluted air, it is necessary to remove dust at least one time one month.
• The pressure of compressed air shall fall to required level to prevent damage to small components in the machine.
• Examine inside electric joints and ensure perfect contact (Especially plugs and sockets). Fasten the loosing joints. In case of oxidation, remove oxide film with sand paper and connect again.
• Prevent water from entering into the machine and prevent the machine from getting moist. If any, blow and dry. Measure the insulation with megohmmeter to make sure it is qualified to use.
• If the welding machine is not used for a long time, pack the machine in original package and store in dry surroundings.

WARNING

The power shall be cut off completely before all maintenance, repairing works. Make sure to pull out power plug before opening the case.

• Notes before checking

Aimless test and unprofessional repairing may make the problems worse and cause more defaults. When the power is on, the bare components may be dangerous with high voltage. Any direct or indirect touch may cause electric shock, even death.

ATTENTION

Within the warranty period, if the users handle unprofessionally of the malfunctions by themselves without permission of the manufactory, the free repair guaranteed by the distributors may not be effective.
