5.2 TIG welding
TIG welding melts the metal of the workpiece, using an arc initiated from a
non-consuming tungsten electrode. The weld pool and electrode are protected by a
shielding gas that usually consists of an inert 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
• return cable (with clamp)

5  OPERATION
0447 209 001 - 17 - © ESAB AB 2022
5.3 MMA welding
MMA welding may also be referred to as welding with covered electrodes. The arc melts
the electrode as well as a local part of the workpiece. The coverage, when melting,
forms a protective slag and creates a shielding gas to protect the weld pool from
atmospheric contamination.
For MMA welding, the welding power source shall be supplemented with:
• welding cable with electrode holder
• return cable with clamp
5.4 Connection of 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 work piece and ensure that there is good contact between the work piece and the output
for the return cable on the power source.
• 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 connecting polarity is stated on the electrode packaging.
5.5 Turning the mains power ON/OFF
Turn ON the mains power by turning the switch to the ”ON”.
Turn the unit OFF by turning the switch to the ”OFF” position.
Regardless the mains supply is interrupted abnormally, or the power source is switched off in the
normal manner, the welding data will be stored, so it will be available next time the unit is turned ON.
CAUTION!
Do not turn OFF the power source during welding (with load).
5.6 Fan control and Cool 2
The power source has an automatic thermal control. When turning ON the main power switch, the fan
will run for 10 seconds and then stop. Once welding start, the fan continues to run for a few minutes
after welding has stopped while the power source switches to energy-saving mode. The fan starts
again when welding restarts. When Cool 2 is connected to the power source, Cool 2 will be synced
with the fan.
5.7 Thermal protection
The power source includes thermal protection against overheating. When temperature is
up to 80% limitation, the overheating indicator on the panel will blink; once temperature
exceeds the limitation, the welding is stopped and overheating indicator will be lit and an
error message shows in the display. The protection is automatically reset when the
temperature has been sufficiently reduced.

5  OPERATION
0447 209 001 - 18 - © ESAB AB 2022
5.8 Voltage reduction device (VRD)
Voltage Reduction Device (VRD)
The VRD function ensures that the open-circuit voltage does not exceed 15V when
welding is not being carried out. This is indicated by a lit VRD indicator on the panel.
Default setting for VRD is ON. When VRD function is on, the green led is lit, when VRD
is off the red led is lit. VRD switch S1 is on the control PCB. It can be turned off by
switching it to off position.
5.9 Remote control
Connect the remote control on the front panel of the power source and activate the
remote control by pressing the remote control button on the panel (remote control
indicator being lit when activated). When the remote control is activated, the welding
current is controlled by remote device.
In DC TIG mode the minimum remote current is set by initial current and the maximum
remote current is limited by local set current. For example, in local mode set the "initial
current" to 50A and set the "set current" to 200A then switch to remote mode. The
current range in remote mode is changed from 50A to 200A. The initial current
(minimum current in remote mode) can be set on local mode and remote mode, but the
set current (maximum current in remote mode) only can be set in local mode.
In Pulse TIG mode, the ratio between background and set current is the same as local
mode, for example, if in local mode, the background current is set to 50A, the set
current is set to 100A, and the ratio is 0.5, if adjusting the set current or background
current in remote mode, the ratio will keep the same. By adjusting either of them, the
other one will change accordingly.
5.10 Memory
Ten weld programs can be saved in the memory from Pr0 to Pr9.
To active the memory function, press the memory button (9) and Pr0 will be displayed.
To change memory channel, rotate the control knob (11). Press save button (8) longer
than 2 seconds, until the display shows: ---. All the settings of current welding process
are saved into this channel, then exits the memory function.
To load a welding process which was saved previously, press memory button (9) to
active memory function and Pr0 will be displayed. To change memory channel, rotate
the control knob (11). Select the channel you want to load, press the load button (8)
shortly, it will load previously saved settings. If this channel did not have any settings
before, the display shows: ---, and no settings will be loaded.
