1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your new ALFA IN product. We are proud to have you as our
customer and will strive to provide you with the best service and reliability in the
industry.
This Operating Manual has been designed to instruct you on the correct use and
operation of your ALFA IN product. Your satisfaction with this product and its
safe operation is our ultimate concern. Therefore please take the time to read
the entire manual, especially the Safety Precautions. They will help you to avoid
potential hazards that may exist when working with this product.
Read and understand this entire Manual and your employer’s safety practices
before installing, operating, or servicing the equipment. While the information
contained in this Manual represents the Manufacturer's best judgement, the
Manufacturer assumes no liability for its use.
The model of aXe 200 IN PFC is the multi-function inverter power generators
welding by those methods
a) MIG/MAG in 2T, 4T, manually or synergistically with wires G3Si1 or
stainless steel 0,6 - 1,0 mm, Al wires 1,0 mm, flux cored wires shelf
shielding or standard.
b) E – (MMA) coated electrodes up to 4,0 mm
c) TIG lift arc
aXe 200 IN PFC is equipped by system of Power Factor Correction (PFC) –
which enables operating on AC power supply of 95V – 270V.
What are the advanta es of PFC solution?
1. Higher efficiency and less stress related to the circuit breaker (in other
words, circuit breaker will switch off later than the devices without PFC)
2. The machine can be connected to the mains 110 V - 230 V + -15% Small
influence of under voltage and overvoltage mains power
3. Smaller level of electromagnetic interference
4. Minimum net reactive current loading
We reserve the law of adjustments and changes in case of printing errors,
change of technical paramaters, accessories etc. without previous notice. These
changes may not be reflected in the manuals for use in paper or electronic form.

2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
1. Once the packing has been opened, make sure that the machine is not
damaged. If in any doubt, call the service centre.
2. This equipment must only be used by qualified personnel.
3. uring installation, any electric work must only be carried out by trained
personnel.
4. The machine must be used in a dry place with good ventilation.
5. Make sure that no metal dust can be drawn in by the fan inside the machine,
as this could cause damage to the electronic circuits.
6. It is prohibited to connect more than one INVERTER generator in series or
in parallel.
7. When installing the machine, follow the local regulations on safety.
8. The position of the machine must allow easy access by the operator to the
controls and connectors.
9. When the welding machine is operating, all its covers and doors must be
closed and well fixed.
10. o not expose the welding machine to direct sunlight or to heavy rain. This
equipment conforms to protection rating IP23S.
11. uring welding, the welding cables must be located near or at ground level.
They should be as short as possible.
12. The operator must wear gloves, clothes, shoes, and a helmet or a welder’s
helmet, which protect and are fire-resistant in order to protect him against
electric shock, flashes and sparks from welding.
13. The operator must protect his eyes with safety visor or mask designed for
welding, fitted with standard safety filters. He should also be aware that
during electrical welding ULTRAVIOLET RA IATION is emitted. Therefore
it is vital that his face is also protected from radiation. Ultraviolet rays
produce the same harmful effect as sun burning on unprotected skin.
14. The operator is obliged to warn anyone near the welding area of the risks
that welding involves and to arrange to provide adequate protection
equipment.
15. It is very important to arrange for sufficient ventilation, especially when
welding in enclosed spaces. We suggest using suitable fume extractors to
prevent the risk of intoxication by fumes or gas generated by the welding
process.
16. The operator must ensure all flammable materials are removed from the
work area to avoid any risk of fire.
17. The operator must NEVER weld containers that have previously contained
petrol, lubricants, gas or similar flammable materials, even if the container

5/24
ALFA IN a.s. © www.alfain.eu
has been empty for a considerable time. THERE IS A VERY HIGH RISK
OF EXPLOSION.
18. The operator must be aware of all the special regulations which he needs
to conform to when welding in enclosed spaces with a high risk of
explosion.
19. To prevent electric shock, we strongly suggest the following rules:
20. o not work in a damp or humid environment.
21. o not use the welding machine if its cables are damaged in any way.
22. Make sure that the earthing system of the electric equipment is correctly
connected and operational.
23. The operator must be insulated from the metal components connected to
the return wire.
24. The earthing of the piece being worked could increase the risk of injury to
the operator.
25. EN 60974-1 Standard: Open-circuit voltage. uring the operation of the
machine, the highest voltage, with which it is possible to come into contact,
is the open-circuit voltage between the welding clamps. In our generator
this voltage is 68V.
26. The maximum open-circuit voltage of the welding machines is established
by national and international standards (EN 60974-1) depending on the
type of weld current to be used, on its waveform and on the hazards arising
from the work place. These values are not applicable to the strike currents
and those for stabilisation of the arc that could be above it.
27. The open-circuit voltage, for as many adjustments as possible, must never
exceed the values relating to the various cases shown in the following table:
Case
Working conditions Open-circuit voltage
1 Places with increased risk of
electric shock
C current: 113V
peak value
AC current: 68V
peak value and
48V effective
2 Places without increased risk
of electric shock
C current: 113V
peak value
AC current: 113V
peak value and
80V effective
3
Torches held mechanically
with increased protection for
the operator
C current: 141V
peak value
AC current: 141V
peak value and
100V effective
28. In case 1, the dc welding machines with rectifier must be built in such a
way that, in case of a fault developing in the rectifier (for example open
circuit, short circuit or lack of power), the permitted values cannot be
exceeded. The welding machines of this type can be marked with the

symbol:
S
29. Before opening the machine switch off the machine and disconnect it from
the power socket.
30. Only personnel authorised by this company can carry out maintenance on
the machine.
NOTE:
evice complies with IEC 61000-3-12.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
The welding device is in terms of interference designed primarily for industrial
areas. It meets the requirements of EN 60974-10 class A and it isn’t designed
for using in residential areas, where the electrical energy is supplied by public
low-voltage power supply network. It can be here potential problems with
ensuring of electromagnetic compatibility in this areas, due to interference
caused by power lines as well as the radiated interference. uring operation, the
device may be the source of interference.
Caution
We warn users, that they are responsible for possible interference from
welding.
