FURTHER CONTROLS EXPLAINED
Overload/ Error Indicator
Lights when over voltage, over current or electrical overheating
(due to exceeding duty cycle) is detected and protection is
activated.
When protection is activated, welding output will be disabled until
the safety system senses the overload has reduced suciently
and indicator lamp goes out. May also trigger if machine
experiences an internal power circuit failure.
Lift TIG Mode
Lift TIG is an arc ignition system for basic TIG welding that
removes the need to ‘scratch’ start or strike the tungsten on the
work piece to start the arc, which can have a negative eect on
the weld quality due to tungsten contamination. Lift arc starting
works by gently touching the tungsten on the work piece and
then lifting it o. The control circuit will sense when the tungsten
is removed from the work piece and send a pulse of electricity
through the torch that will cause the TIG arc to initiate.
VRD Function
VRD stands for Voltage Reduction Device. This is a safety system
that reduces the output voltage from the welding terminals in MMA
mode while the welding output is not in use, to reduce the risk
of electric shock from the live output voltage. The disadvantage
of this system is that it makes the striking of the arc more dicult,
especially on restarts and with some types of electrode such as
low hydrogen electrodes.
TIPS & TRICKS
Duty Cycle Rating
Welding duty cycle is the percentage of actual welding time that
can occur in a ten minute cycle. E.g. 20% at 160 amps - this means
the welder can weld at 160 amps for 2 minutes and then the unit
will need to be rested for 8 minutes.
All duty cycle ratings are based on an ambient air temperature of
40°C with 50% humidity, which is the international standard for such
a rating. In an environment with temperatures exceeding 40°C, the
duty cycle will be less than stated. In ambient temperature less than
40°C, duty cycle performance will be higher.

Electrical Connection
• ARC 161 is designed to operate on a 10A 230V AC power
supply
• ARC 201 is designed to operate on a 15A 230V AC power
supply
The DURALLOY Multivoltage technology allows the machine to
operate on a very wide range input voltages down as low as
90V. This means that limited capacity power supplies and long
extension leads may be used without damaging the welder.
However, as the supply voltage decreases, the maximum output
current and duty cycle will also decrease. To utilise the full output
capacity of the machine using an extension cord, it should be a
heavy duty version with a minimum cable core size of 2.5mm2.
Operating Environment
Adequate ventilation is required to provide proper cooling for the
DURALLOY ARC 161/201. Ensure that the machine is placed on a
stable level surface where clean cool air can easily flow through
the unit. The DURALLOY ARC 161/201 has electrical components
and control circuit boards which may be damaged by excessive
dust and dirt, so a clean operating environment is important.
BASIC OPERATION
1. ARC/ MMA Welding Operation
1.1 Connect the earth cable quick connector to the negative
welding power output socket (5) Connect 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.
1.2 Insert an electrode into the electrode holder and connect the
electrode holder and work lead to the positive welding power
output socket (4).
Note: This polarity connection configuration is valid for most GP (General Purpose)
MMA electrodes. There are variances to this. If in doubt, check the electrode
specifications or consult the electrode manufacturer.
1.3 Connect the machine to suitable mains power using the mains
input power lead. Switch the mains power switch to ‘on’ to
power up the machine. Select MMA welding mode (7) using
the button (8).
1.4 Select the required output current using the current control

Keep your welding machine in top condition
The DURALLOY ARC 161/201 PFC does not require any special
maintenance, however the user should take care of the machine
as follows:
• Regularly clean the ventilation slots.
• Keep the casing clean.
• Check all cables before use.
• Check electrode holders, work lead/clamps and welding
torches before use.
• Replace worn electrode holders and earth clamps, which do
not provide a good connection.
• Replace worn consumable parts in a timely manner.
• Use a soft cloth or brush to clean electrical components.
• Do not use liquid cleaning products, water or especially
solvents.
• Do not use compressed air to clean electrical components as
this can force dirt and dust further into components, causing
electrical short circuits.
• Check for damaged parts. Do not use the welderwith
damaged parts.
• A damaged welder must be carefully checked by a qualified
person to determine that it will operate properly. Check for
breakage of parts, mountings and other conditions that may
aect its operation. An authorised service centre should
properly repair a damaged part. Have your welder repaired
by an expert.
This appliance is manufactured in accordance with relevant safety
standards. Only experts must carry out repairing of electrical
appliances, otherwise considerable danger for the user may
result. Use only genuine replacement parts. Do not use modified
or non-genuine parts.
Storing the Welder
When not in use the welder should be stored in the dry and frost-
free environment.
WARNING!
Before performing cleaning/maintenance, replacing
cables / connections , make sure the welding machine is
switched o and disconnected from the power supply.
www.duralloy.net.au | 1300 369 456
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Size of Electrodes
The electrode size is determined by the thickness of metals
being joined and can also be governed by the type of welding
machine available. Small welding machines will only provide
current (amperage) to run smaller sized electrodes.
For thin sections, it is necessary to use smaller electrodes
otherwise the arc may burn holes through the job. A little practice
will soon establish the most suitable electrode for a given
application.
Storage of Electrodes
Always store electrodes in a dry place and in their original
containers.
Electrode Polarity
Electrodes are generally connected to the electrode holder with
the electrode holder connected positive polarity.
The work lead is connected to the negative polarity and is
connected to the work piece. If in doubt consult the electrode
data sheet.
ELECTRODES

ARC 161/201 PFC
OWNER’S MANUAL

High Tensile and Alloy Steels
The two most prominent eects of welding these steels are the
formation of a hardened zone in the weld area, and, if suitable
precautions are not taken, the occurrence in this zone of under-
bead cracks. Hardened zone and underbead cracks in the weld
area may be reduced by using the correct electrodes, preheating,
using higher current settings, using larger electrodes sizes, short
runs for larger electrode deposits or tempering in a furnace.
Manganese Steels
The eect on manganese steel of slow cooling from high
temperatures causes embrittlement. For this reason it is
absolutely essential to keep manganese steel cool during
welding by quenching after each weld or skip welding to
distribute the heat.
Cast Iron
Most types of cast iron, except white iron, are weldable. White
iron, because of its extreme brittleness, generally cracks when
attempts are made to weld it. Trouble may also be experienced
when welding white-heart malleable, due to the porosity caused
by gas held in this type of iron.

ARC 161/201 PFC
OWNER’S MANUAL
Copper and Alloys
The most important factor is the high rate of heat conductivity of
copper, making pre-heating of heavy sections necessary to give
proper fusion of weld and base metal.
Types of Electrodes
ARC Welding electrodes are classified into a number of groups
depending on their applications. There are a great number of
electrodes used for specialised industrial purposes which are not
of particular interest for everyday general work. These include
some low hydrogen types for high tensile steel, cellulose types
for welding large diameter pipes, etc. The range of electrodes
dealt with in this publication will cover the vast majority of
applications likely to be encountered; are all easy to use.

fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health.
1. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.
2. If inside, ventilate the area and/or use an exhaust at the arc to
remove welding fumes and gases.
3. If ventilation is poor, use an approved air-supplied respirator.
4. Read the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and the manufacturer’s
instruction for the metals, consumables, coatings, and
cleaners.
5. Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while
wearing an air-supplied respirator. Shielding ga es used for
welding can displace air causing injury or death. Be sure the
breathing air is safe.
6. Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or
spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react
with vapours to form highly toxic and irritating gases.
7. Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or
cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the
weld area, the area is well ventilated, and if necessary, while
wearing an air- supplied respirator. The coatings and any

Fire & Explosive Risks
WARNING!
Sparks and spatter fly o from the welding arc. The flying
sparks and hot metal, weld spatter, work piece, and hot
equipment can cause fires and burns.
Accidental contact of electrode or welding wire to metal objects
can cause sparks, overheating, or fire.
1. Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal.
2. Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable
material.
3. Remove all flammables within 10m of the welding site.
4. Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from welding
can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent
areas.
5. Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
6. Be aware that welding on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition
can cause fire on the hidden side.
7. Do not weld on closed containers such as tanks or drums.
8. Connect the work lead/clamp to the job as close to the
welding area as practical to prevent welding current from
travelling long, possibly unknown paths and causing electric
shock and fire hazards.
9. Do not use a welder to thaw frozen pipes.
10. Remove the stick electrode from the holder or cut o the
welding wire at the contact tip when not in use.
Sparks & Hot Metal
WARNING!
Chipping and grinding causes flying metal, and as welds
cool they can throw o slag.
1. Wear an AS/NZS approved face shield or safety goggles. Side
shields are recommended.
2. Wear appropriate safety equipment to protect the skin and
body.
www.duralloy.net.au | 1300 369 456
