WARNING!
Arc welding and cutting can be injurious to yourself and others. Take precautions
when welding and cutting.
ELECTRIC SHOCK - Can kill
• Install and ground the unit in accordance with instruction manual.
• Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or
wet clothing.
• Insulate yourself from work and ground.
• Ensure your working position is safe
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS - Can be dangerous to health
• Welders having pacemakers should consult their physician before welding.
EMF may interfere with some pacemakers.
• Exposure to EMF may have other health effects which are unknown.
• Welders should use the following procedures to minimize exposure to
EMF:
○ Route the electrode and work cables together on the same side of
your body. Secure them with tape when possible. Do not place your
body between the torch and work cables. Never coil the torch or work
cable around your body. Keep welding power source and cables as
far away from your body as possible.
○ Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the
area being welded.
FUMES AND GASES - Can be dangerous to health
• Keep your head out of the fumes.
• Use ventilation, extraction at the arc, or both, to take fumes and gases
away from your breathing zone and the general area.

1 SAFETY
0463 769 001 -5- © ESAB AB 2021
ARC RAYS - Can injure eyes and burn skin
• Protect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens
and wear protective clothing.
• Protect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.
NOISE - Excessive noise can damage hearing
Protect your ears. Use earmuffs or other hearing protection.
MOVING PARTS - Can cause injuries
• Keep all doors, panels and covers closed and securely in place. Have only
qualified people remove covers for maintenance and troubleshooting as
necessary. Reinstall panels or covers and close doors when service is
finished and before starting engine.
• Stop engine before installing or connecting unit.
• Keep hands, hair, loose clothing and tools away from moving parts.
FIRE HAZARD

Supply from power generators
The power source can be supplied from different types of generators. However, some
generators may not provide sufficient power for the welding power source to operate
correctly. Generators with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) or with equivalent or better
type of regulation, with rated power 10 kW, are recommended.

5 OPERATION
0463 769 001 - 13 - © ESAB AB 2021
5 OPERATION
5.1 Overview
General safety regulations for handling the equipment can be found in the "SAFETY"
chapter of this manual. Read it through before you start using the equipment!
NOTE!
When moving the equipment use intended handle. Never pull the cables.
WARNING!
Electric shock! Do not touch the workpiece or the welding head during operation!
5.2 Connections and control devices
1. Setting panel 5. Mains power supply switch, I/O
2. Positive welding terminal 6. TIG Switch / Remote Socket
3. Negative welding terminal 7. Gas supply output
4. Power cable 8. Gas supply input
5.3 Connecting welding and return cables
The power source has two outputs, a positive welding terminal (+) and a negative welding
terminal (-), for connecting welding and return cables. The output to which the welding cable
is connected depends on the welding method or type of electrode used.
Connect the return cable to the other output on the power source. Secure the return cable’s
contact clamp to the workpiece, and make sure that there is a good contact between the
workpiece and the output for the return cable on the power source.

5 OPERATION
0463 769 001 - 14 - © ESAB AB 2021
• For TIG welding, the negative welding terminal (-) is used for the welding torch and the
positive welding terminal (+) is used for the return cable.
• For MMA welding, the welding cable can be connected to the positive welding terminal
(+) or negative welding terminal (-), depending on the type of electrode used. The
connection polarity is stated on the electrode packaging.
5.4 Turning the power on/off
Turn on the power by turning the switch to the “ON” (I) position.
Turn the unit off by turning the switch to the “O” position.
Whether the power supply is interrupted or the power source is switched off in the normal
manner, weld programs are stored so that they are available the next time the unit is started.
CAUTION!
Do not turn off the power source during welding (with load).
5.5 Fan control
The ET 200iP is fitted with a fan as needed feature. Fan as needed automatically switches
the cooling fan off when it is not required. This has two main advantages; (1) to minimize
power consumption, and (2) to minimize the amount of contaminants such as dust that are
drawn into the power source.
Note that the fan will only operate when required for cooling purposes and will automatically
switch off when not required.
5.6 Thermal protection
The power source includes thermal protection against overheating. When
overheating occurs the welding is stopped and overheating indicator on the
panel will be lit and an error message shows in the display. The protection is
automatically reset when the temperature has been sufficiently reduced.
5.7 Functions and symbols
MMA welding
MMA welding may also be referred to as welding with coated electrodes. Striking
the arc melts the electrode, and its coating forms protective slag.
For MMA welding the power source shall be supplemented with:
• welding cable with electrode holder
• return cable with clamp
Arc force
The arc force function determines how the current changes in response to
variations in arc length during welding. Use a low value of arc force to get a calm
arc with little spatter and use a high value to get a hot and digging arc.
Arc force only applies to MMA welding.

5 OPERATION
0463 769 001 - 15 - © ESAB AB 2021
Hot start
The hot start function temporarily increases the current in the beginning of the
weld. Use this function to reduce risk of insufficient fusion and electrode sticking
and scratching.
Hot start only applies to MMA welding.
TIG welding
TIG welding melts the metal of the workpiece, an arc initiated from a
non-consuming tungsten electrode. The weld pool and electrode are protected
by shielding gas.
For TIG welding, the welding power source shall be supplemented with:
• a TIG torch with gas valve
• an argon gas cylinder
• an argon gas regulator
• tungsten electrode
This power source performs Live TIG start (TIG Live).
The tungsten electrode is placed against the workpiece. When lifted away from
workpiece the arc is struck at a limited current level.
HF start
The HF (High Frequency) start function strikes the arc by means of a spark from
the tungsten electrode to the workpiece as the electrode is brought closer to the
workpiece and the trigger on the TIG torch is pressed.
Voltage Reduction Device (VRD)
The VRD function ensures that the open-circuit voltage does not exceed 35V
when welding is not being carried out. This is indicated by a lit VRD indicator on
the panel. Contact an authorised ESAB service technician to activate this
function.

To maintain the performance and increase the lifetime of the power source it is mandatory to
clean it regularly. How often depends on:

6 MAINTENANCE
0463 769 001 - 19 - © ESAB AB 2021
• the welding process
• the arc time
• the working environment
CAUTION!
Make sure that the cleaning procedure is done in a suitable prepared workspace.
CAUTION!
