WARNING
IMPORTANT: BEFORE STARTING THE EQUIPMENT, READ THE CONTENTS OF THIS MANUAL, WHICH MUST
BE STORED IN A PLACE FAMILIAR TO ALL USERS FOR THE ENTIRE OPERATIVE LIFE-SPAN OF THE MACHI-
NE.THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE USED SOLELY FOR WELDING OPERATIONS.
1. Conformity declaration
The machines descripted in this manual, TER 166/186, must be used solely for professional purposes in an industrial
environment and they are manufactured in compliance with the instructions contained in the harmonized standard
EN50199 (electromagnetic compatibility) and EN60974-1.
IN CASE OF BAD OPERATION YOU DEMAND THE ATTENDANCE OF QUALIFIED STAFF.
1.1 RAEE Norm
The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste.
Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equip-
ment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the
environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropiate waste handling of this product. For
more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city ofce, your household waste
disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.
2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WELDING AND ARC CUTTING CAN BE HARMFUL TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. The user must therefore be edu-
cated against the hazards, summarized below, deriving from welding operations.
ELECTRIC SHOCK – May be fatal.
Install and earth the welding machine according to the applicable regulations.
Do not touch live electrical parts or eletrodes with bare skin, gloves or wet clothing.
Isolate yourselves from both the earth and the workpiece.
Make sure your working position is safe.
FUME AND GASES – May be hazardous to your health.
Keep your head away from fumes.
Work in the presence of adequate ventilation, and use ventilators around the arc to prevent gases from
forming in the work area.
ARC RAYS – May injure the eyes and burn the skin.
Protect yuor eyes with welding masks tted with ltered lenses, and protect your body with appropiate
safety garments.
Protect others by installing adequate shields or curtains.
RISK OF FIRE AND BURNS
Sparks (sprays) may cause res and burn the skin; you should therefore make sure there are no
ammable materials in the area, and wear appropriate protective garments.
NOISE
This machine does not directly produce noise exceeding 80dB. The plasma cutting/welding procedure
may produce noise levels beyond said limit; users must therefore implement all precautions required by
law.
PACEMAKERS
The magnetic elds created by high currents may affect the operation of pacemakers. Wearers of vital
electronic equipment (pacemakers) should consult their physician before beginning any arc welding,
cutting, gouging or spot welding operations.
EXPLOSIONS
Do not weld in the vicinity of containers under pressure, or in the presence of explosive dust, gases or
fumes. All cylinders and pressure regulators used in welding operation should be handled with care.
3. General description
This machine is a constant direct current power source, designed for welding electrically conductive materials (metals
and alloys) using the electical arc procedure.

PLC - Power Line Controller
The machine with PLC has a key socket in the back panel.
Held one copy of the key in a safe place (if both the key are lost, the complete key block must be replaced).
The domestic (inside houses) power supply
is limited at 16A; to use the machine in that
condition, t set the key on 16A position.
Use the key to select the power supply
range.
Note: The plug used in the supply cable of the machine must be an industrial plug ≧25A, when the machine is
used at maximum power. The PLC key must be positioned on 25 A (industrial applications).
Don’t use the 16A plug for industrial applications.
The key must be removed from the machine after the power supply setting.
PLC FUNCTION
The Ter 166 and Ter 186 series are industrial power sources for light/medium applications; the duty cycle is very
high and the design of the power inverter allows hight current rates. When the machines are connected to the
domestic (house) power supply a plug 16A should be mounted; the input current must be less than average 16A in
order to avoid the switching-o of the main switch protecting the power line.
The PLC feature controls the input current, automatically inhibiting the welding process when the power input rise
the limit of the main line switch (16A).
The power of the machine isn’t reduced, only the welding time (duty cycle) is concerned when the current is
highter than the available one from net, as shown in the picture below, where we compare the available welding
time in function of the welding current between industrial (red plot) and domestic (green plot) for a mig setting.

When the PLC inhibit the welding, the current supply is breaked immediately, and the front panel shows the PLC
timer count down.
When the timer arrive to 0, the welding can restart.
Please refer to the plots in order to avoid unexpected welding interruptions when the machine is used on dome-
stic lines.
VRD - Voltage Reduction Device
IThis function reduces the output no load voltage at a value less than 25V in a very short time.
It increases the safety conditions of the machine user: the no load voltage is not dangerous but contact trough
human body and live parts of earth cable and electrode holder can cause a shock with lost of equilibrium control
or similar.
The simbol“VRD” lighting on means that VRD protection is active with an output no load voltage equal to 15V.
When“VRD” feature is o, an icon led shows voltage greather than 25V.
Setting:
when VRD is o, press the“CYCLE”pushbutton for 7
seconds; once the“VRD” led start ashing release the
button pressure.
when VRD is on, press the“CYCLE” pushbutton for 7 se-
conds until the VRD icon ligth o.
In the meantime the icon U2>25LV should light on.
The machine stops its main functions when it is not continuosly used, in order to reduce the power consumption
at 10W, and “STANDBY” icon lights.
The fan works only when the machine need to be cooled down; during ligth applications, the fan normally doesn’t work.
