4.3 TIG Torch Connection
Connect the TIG torch cable and gas hose to the corresponding terminals and connectors on the front panel of the welder. Ensure a firm connection.
4.4 Earth Clamp Connection
Connect the earth clamp cable to the appropriate terminal on the front panel. Securely attach the earth clamp to the workpiece or welding table, ensuring good electrical contact.
4.5 MMA Electrode Holder Connection (for MMA Welding)
If performing MMA welding, connect the electrode holder cable to the designated terminal on the front panel.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Control Panel Overview
The front panel features a digital display and a control knob for adjusting various welding parameters. Indicators show the selected welding method, operating mode, waveform, and current selection.
5.2 Selecting Welding Mode
Use the control panel to select between TIG (AC/DC, Pulse) and MMA welding modes based on your application and material.
5.3 TIG Welding Parameters
For TIG welding, adjust the following parameters using the control knob and display:
- Welding Current (A): 10～200A
- AC Output Frequency (Hz): 20～250Hz (for AC TIG)
- Cleanup Width: 20～60% (for AC TIG, controls arc cleaning action)
- Base Current: 10～200A (for Pulse TIG)
- Pulse Frequency@DC (Hz): 0.5～200Hz (for DC Pulse TIG)
- Pulse Frequency@AC (Hz): 0.5～25Hz (for AC Pulse TIG)
- Front Blowing Time (s): 0～5s (pre-flow gas time)
- Back Blowing Time (s): 0～15s (post-flow gas time)
- Rise Time (s): 0～15s (time for current to ramp up)
- Decay Time (s): 0～15s (time for current to ramp down)
- Arc Initiation Mode: High frequency arc initiation for clean starts.
- Remote Control: The unit supports remote control functionality.
5.4 MMA Welding Parameters
For MMA welding, adjust the following:
- Welding Current (A): 10～160A
- Thrust Current (A): 0～40A (for arc force control)
- Thermal Arc Initiation Current (A): 0～80A (for hot start)
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your welder.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the welder's exterior and ventilation openings to prevent dust and debris buildup. Use compressed air to gently clear internal components if necessary, ensuring the power is disconnected.
- Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect all welding cables, torch, and earth clamp for signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Replace damaged components immediately.
- Ventilation: Ensure the welder's ventilation system is unobstructed during operation to prevent overheating.
- Storage: Store the welder in a clean, dry environment when not in use.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your welder, consider the following basic troubleshooting steps:
- No Power: Check the power supply connection, main power switch, and circuit breaker.
- Poor Arc: Verify welding current settings, gas flow (for TIG), electrode condition, and workpiece cleanliness. Ensure good earth clamp connection.
- Overheating: Check for proper ventilation. Allow the machine to cool down if the thermal overload indicator is active.
- Gas Flow Issues: Ensure the gas cylinder is open, the regulator is set correctly, and gas lines are not kinked or leaking.
