kill.

3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits

are electrically “hot” when the welder is on.

Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare

skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free

gloves to insulate hands.

4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant

material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from

the arc rays.

3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.

Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full

area of physical contact with work and ground.

4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable

screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose

themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.

In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding

must be performed under electrically hazardous

conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet

clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or

scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,

kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or

accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use

the following equipment:

FUMES AND GASES

can be dangerous.

5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases

hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these

ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep

fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When

welding with electrodes which require special

ventilation such as stainless or hard facing (see

instructions on container or MSDS) or on lead or

cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings

which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as

low as possible and below Threshold Limit Values (TLV)

using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In

confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a

respirator may be required. Additional precautions are

also required when welding on galvanized steel.

3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,

electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic

welding gun are also electrically “hot”.

3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical

connection with the metal being welded. The connection

should be as close as possible to the area being welded.

3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical

(earth) ground.

5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected

by various factors including proper use and positioning of

the equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the spe-

cific welding procedure and application involved. Worker

exposure level should be checked upon installation and

periodically thereafter to be certain it is within applicable

OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits.

3.f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and

welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace

damaged insulation.

3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.

3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of

electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage

between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage

of both welders.

5.c. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors

coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.

The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to

form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating prod-

ucts.

3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect

yourself from a fall should you get a shock.

5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and

cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,

especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.

3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.

5.e. Read and understand the manufacturerʼs instructions for this

equipment and the consumables to be used, including the

material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your

employerʼs safety practices. MSDS forms are available from

your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.

pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for

the application and maintained in good condition.

7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely

chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.

6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site,

special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous

situations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI

Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the

equipment being used.

7.c. Cylinders should be located:

•Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to

physical damage.

•A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and

any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.

6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode

circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact

can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.

7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other

electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.

6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the

proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures

will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances

inside. They can cause an explosion even though they have

been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended

Safe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting of

Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous

Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society

(see address above).

7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet

when opening the cylinder valve.

7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand

tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for

use.

7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas

cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l,

“Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in

Cylinders,” available from the Compressed Gas Association

1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or

welding. They may explode.

6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil

free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,

cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear

ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.

Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a

welding area.

FOR ELECTRICALLY

powered equipment.

8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect

switch at the fuse box before working on

the equipment.

6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding

area as practical. Work cables connected to the building

framework or other locations away from the welding area

increase the possibility of the welding current passing

through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate cir-

cuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains

or cables until they fail.

8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National

Electrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturerʼs

recommendations.

8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National

Electrical Code and the manufacturerʼs recommendations.

SAFETY

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ

6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de

prévenir tout risque dʼincendie dû aux étincelles.

Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions

et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans ce

manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suiv-

antes:

7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de

la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un

échauffement et un risque dʼincendie.

Sûreté Pour Soudage A LʼArc

8. Sʼassurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible

de la zone de travail quʼil est pratique de le faire. Si on place

la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou dʼautres

endroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque

de voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de lev-

age, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer

des risques dʼincendie ou dʼechauffement des chaines et des

câbles jusquʼà ce quʼils se rompent.

1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:

a. Les circuits à lʼélectrode et à la piéce sont sous tension

quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours

tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue

ou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans

trous pour isoler les mains.

b. Faire trés attention de bien sʼisoler de la masse quand on

soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher

metallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans

les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grande

partie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.

c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble

de soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état

defonctionnement.

d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans lʼeau pour le

refroidir.

e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension

des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souder

parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le

total de la tension à vide des deux machines.

f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de

courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions

pour le porte-électrode sʼapplicuent aussi au pistolet de

soudage.

9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.

Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles

galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui

produit des fumeés toxiques.

10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant

dʼopérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La

chaleur ou les rayons de lʼarc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs

du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)

ou autres produits irritants.

11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté,

voir le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA

Standard W 117.2-1974.

2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protéger

contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais

enrouler le câble-électrode autour de nʼimporte quelle partie

du corps.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR

LES MACHINES À SOUDER À

TRANSFORMATEUR ET À

REDRESSEUR

3. Un coup dʼarc peut être plus sévère quʼun coup de soliel,

donc:

a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié

ainsi quʼun verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du ray-

onnement de lʼarc et des projections quand on soude ou

quand on regarde lʼarc.

b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la

peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de

lʻarc.

c. Protéger lʼautre personnel travaillant à proximité au

soudage à lʼaide dʼécrans appropriés et non-inflammables.

1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de

lʼélectricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif

de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une

bonne mise à la terre.

2. Autant que possible, Iʼinstallation et lʼentretien du poste seront

effectués par un électricien qualifié.

3. Avant de faires des travaux à lʼinterieur de poste, la debranch-

er à lʼinterrupteur à la boite de fusibles.

4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de lʼarc de

soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres

de lʼhuile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pan-

talons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.

4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur

place.

5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de

soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les

zones où lʼon pique le laitier.

INSTALLATION

Read entire installation section before starting

installation.

MACHINE GROUNDING AND HIGH FRE-

QUENCY INTERFERENCE PROTECTION

Safety Precautions

The Capacitor Discharge Circuit used in the high fre-

quency generator, may cause many radio, TV and

electronic equipment interference problems. These

problems may be the result of radiated interference.

Proper grounding methods can reduce or eliminate

radiated interference.

The Invertec V205-T DC & V205-T AC/DC have been

field tested under recommended installation condi-

tions. It complies with FCC allowable limits for radia-

tion.

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Only qualified personnel should per-

form this installation.

• Turn the input power OFF and

unplug the machine from the recep-

tacle before working on this equip-

ment. Allow machine to sit for 5 min-

utes minimum to allow the power

capacitors to discharge before

working inside this equipment.

Radiated interference can develop in the following

four ways:

•

Insulate yourself from the work and ground.

Always wear dry insulating gloves.

• Always connect the V205-T to a power supply

grounded according to the National Electrical

Code and local codes.

1. Direct interference radiated from the welder.

2. Direct interference radiated from the welding leads.

3. Direct interference radiated from feedback into the

power lines.

------------------------------------------------------------

SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION

4. Interference from re-radiation of “pickup” by

ungrounded metallic objects.

The Invertec will operate in harsh environments. Even

so, it is important that simple preventative measures

are followed in order to assure long life and reliable

operation.

Keeping these contributing factors in mind, installing

equipment per the following instructions should mini-

mize problems.

• The machine must be located where there is free cir-

culation of clean air such that air movement in the

back and out the front will not be restricted.

1. Keep the welder power supply lines as short as

possible and enclose as much of them as possible

in rigid metallic conduit or equivalent shielding for a

distance of 50 feet (15.2m). There should be good

electrical contact between this conduit and the

welder case ground. Both ends of the conduit

should be connected to a driven ground and the

entire length should be continuous.

• Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the machine

should be kept to a minimum. Failure to observe

these precautions can result in excessive operating

temperatures and nuisance shutdown.

STACKING

2. Keep the work and electrode leads as short as

possible and as close together as possible.

Lengths should not exceed 25 ft (7.6m).

The Invertec V205-T DC & V205-T AC/DC can not be

stacked.

TILTING

Place the machine directly on a secure, level surface.

The machine may topple over if this procedure is not

followed.

ENVIRONMENTAL AREA

Keep the machine dry. Do not place it on wet ground

or in puddles.

other synthetic rubber insulated cables.

4. Keep the torch in good repair and all connections

WARNING

tight to reduce high frequency leakage.

5. The work terminal must be connected to a ground

within ten feet of the welder, using one of the fol-

lowing methods.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Have a qualified electrician install

and service this equipment.

a) A metal underground water pipe in direct con-

tact with the earth for ten feet or more.

• Turn the input power OFF and unplug

the machine from the receptacle

before working on this equipment.

b) A 3/4” (19mm) galvanized pipe or a 5/8”

(16mm) solid galvanized iron, steel or copper

rod driven at least eight feet into the ground.

The ground should be securely made and the

grounding cable should be as short as possible

using cable of the same size as the work cable, or

larger. Grounding to the building frame electrical

conduit or a long pipe system can result in re-radi-

ation, effectively making these members radiating

antennas.

• Allow machine to sit for 5 minutes minimum to

allow the power capacitors to discharge before

working inside this equipment.

• Do not touch electrically hot parts.

• Machine must be plugged into a receptacle that

is grounded according to the National Electrical

Code and local codes.

6. Keep all panels securely in place.

• Do not remove or defeat the purpose of the

power cord ground pin.

7. All electrical conductors within 50 ft (15.2m) of the

welder should be enclosed in grounded, rigid

metallic conduit or equivalent shielding. Flexible

metallic conduit is generally not suitable.

8. When the welder is enclosed in a metal building,

several earth driven electrical grounds connected

(as in 5b above) around the periphery of the build-

ing are recommended.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

RECONNECT PROCEDURE

The Invertec V205-T DC & V205-T AC/DC auto recon-

nect to either 115V or 230V supply.

This machine is capable of operating within the follow-

ing input voltage ranges (Table A.1):

Failure to observe these recommended installation

procedures can cause radio or TV interference prob-

lems.

TABLE A.1

NOMINAL

115V

RANGE

90-140V

184-276V

208V / 230V

Fuse the input circuit with time delay fuses or delay

type¹ circuit breakers. Using fuses or circuit breakers

smaller than recommended may result in “nuisance”

shut-offs from welder inrush currents even if not weld-

ing at high currents.

The Invertec Power Source is recommended for use

on an individual branch circuit.

¹ Also called “inverse time” or “thermal/magnetic” circuit breakers.

INSTALLATION

In all cases, the green or green/yellow grounding wire

must be connected to the grounding pin of the plug, usu-

ally identified by a green screw.

The equipment is provided with a 230/115V cable,

6.6ft.(2m) in length with a 230V 6-50P attachment

plug.

Attachment plugs must comply with the Standard for

Attachment Plugs and Receptacles, UL498.

The Invertec V205-T performs best when connected

to 230VAC inputs. This input allows full output of the

machine (200 amps).

The product is considered acceptable for use only when

an attachment plug as specified is properly attached to

the supply cord.

115V INPUT

For use on engine drives, keep in mind the above

input draw restrictions and the following precaution.

A suitable 115V attachment plug must be installed on the

power cord to use the V205-T with a 115V input supply.

The rated output of the V205-T is available when con-

nected to a 30A branch circuit. When connected to a

branch circuit with lower amp rating, lower welding cur-

rent and duty cycle must be used. An output guide is pro-

vided below. The values are approximate and must be

adjusted downward if the fuse or circuit breaker trips off.

Other loads on the circuit and fuse/circuit breaker char-

acteristics will affect the available output. Do not exceed

these welding conditions:

ENGINE DRIVEN GENERATOR

The Invertec V205-T DC & V205-T AC/DC can be

operated on engine driven generators as long as the

230 volt auxiliary meets the following conditions:

• The AC waveform peak voltage is below 400 volts.

• The AC waveform frequency is between 45 and

65Hz.

The following Lincoln engine drives meet these condi-

tions when run in the high idle mode:

15A branch circuit

Stick: 75A

• Ranger 250, 250 LPG, 305 G, 305 D*

• Vantage 300, 400, 500 & Air Vantage 500*

Some engine drives do not meet these conditions

(e.g. Miller Bobcats, etc). Operation of the Invertec

V205-T AC/DC is not recommended on engine drives

not conforming to these conditions. Such drives may

deliver unacceptably high voltage levels to the

Invertec power source.

2-Step Sequence

With the Trigger Mode switch in the 2-step position,

the following welding sequence will occur. This

sequence is shown in (2-step diagram 1)

(1)

(2)

1. Press and hold the Arc Start Switch to start the

sequence.

The machine will open the gas valve to start the flow

of the shielding gas. After a 0.5 second preflow time,

to purge air from the torch hose, the output of the

machine is turned ON. At this time the arc is started.

1. Press and hold the Arc Start Switch to start the

sequence.

The machine will open the gas valve to start the flow

of the shielding gas. After a 0.5 second preflow time,

to purge air from the torch hose, the output of the

machine is turned ON. At this time the arc is started.

After the arc is started the output current will be

increased from the start current to the welding cur-

rent. Both the start current and increase, or upslope

time are presettable. The default start current is 15

amps and the default upslope time is 0.2 seconds.

After the arc is started the output current will be at

the Start current. This condition can be maintained

as long or as short as necessary.

2. Release the Arc Start Switch to stop welding.

The machine will now decrease the output current at

a controlled rate, or downslope time, until the Finish

current, (also commonly referred to as Crater

Current) is reached and the output of the machine is

turned OFF. Both the Downslope Time and the

Finish Current are can be preset.

If the Start current is not necessary, do not hold the

TIG torch trigger as described at the beginning of

this step. Instead, quickly press and release the trig-

ger. In this condition, the machine will automatically

pass from Step 1 to Step 2 when the arc is started.

2. Release the TIG torch trigger to start the main part

of the weld.

After the arc is turned OFF, the gas valve will

remain open to continue the flow of the shielding

gas to the hot electrode and work piece. The dura-

tion of this postflow shielding gas is adjusted by the

Postflow Parameter.

The output current will be increased from the start

current to the welding current. Both the start current

and increase, or upslope time are presettable. The

default start current is 15 amps and the default ups-

lope time is 0.2 seconds.

Possible variations of this standard sequence is

shown in (2 step diagram 2). It is possible to press

and hold the TIG torch trigger a second time during

downslope to restart. After the trigger is pressed the

output current will increase to the welding current.

This operation is shown in (2 step diagram 2).

3. Press and hold the TIG torch trigger when the main

part of the weld is complete.

The machine will now decrease the output current

at a controlled rate, or downslope time, until the

Finish current is reached. Both the Downslope Time

and the Finish Current are presettable. This Finish

current can be maintained as long or as short as

necessary.

(see FIGURE B.4)

While Welding, there is a continuous flow of electrons

from the electrode to the workpiece.

These derated values have been programmed into the

Invertec V205-T to ensure reliable operation.

This is the most used polarity, ensuring limited wear of

the electrode, since the majority of the heat concen-

trates on the anode (workpiece). Narrow and deep

welds are obtained with high travel speeds.

¹ AC/DC model only

DC TIG WELDING

Most materials, with the exception of aluminum and

magnesium, are welded with this polarity.

(see FIGURE B.3)

The TIG (Tungsten lnert Gas) welding process is

based on the presence of an electric arc between a

non-consumable electrode (pure or alloyed tungsten

with an approximate melting temperature of 3370°C)

and the workpiece. An inert gas (typically argon)

atmosphere protects the weld pool.

FIGURE B.4

To avoid inclusions of tungsten in the joint, the elec-

trode should not contact the workpiece. For this rea-

son the arc is started through a Hi. Freq. generator.

For situations requiring no Hi. Freq., Touch Start Tig

reduces the short-circuit current to keep tungsten

inclusions to the minimum.

To improve weld bead quality at the end of the weld it

is important to carefully control the downslope of cur-

rent and ensure proper gas coverage over the weld.

Reverse Polarity) (see Figure B.5)

(see Figure B.7)

In this case, there is a continuous flow of electrons

from the workpiece to the electrode. The reverse

polarity is used for welding alloys covered with a layer

of refractory oxide.

Alternating Current welding is typically used for Tig

welding aluminum (and its alloys) or magnesium. The

polarity alternates between Electrode Positive and

Electrode Negative (EN). During the positive half-

wave the oxide is broken. During the negative half-

wave, the electrode cools, the workpiece melts and

penetration occurs.

With this polarity the electrode functions as anode and

is subjected to a high degree of heat; the workpiece is

bombarded by positive ions sent from the electrode

which break the surface oxide.

FIGURE B.7

In Electrode Positive Polarity, high currents cannot be

used, since they would cause an excessive wear of

the electrode.

NOTE: (The Invertec V205-T DC & V205-T AC/DC

cannot be used for Electrode Positive TIG welding

without special adapters.)

When AC welding, a pulsed current can be used, with

similar effects to those described in pulsed direct

current welding.

formed at the same average current, pulsed welding

results in a smaller heat affected zone which results in

fewer deformations and reduced chance of cracking

and gas entrapment.

Increasing the frequency constricts the arc, increases

stability and improves weld quality.

OPERATION

1. The AC wave balance can be set to a higher per-

centage electrode negative which minimizes tung-

sten heating and erosion.

STEEL TIG WELDING

The TIG process is very effective for welding both car-

bon steel and alloy steel, especially in applications

requiring precision results. DC Electrode Negative

Polarity is required. Since this process does not

include the removal of impurities, proper cleaning and

preparation of the edges is required.

2. The AC frequency can be varied to "focus" the arc.

Increasing the AC frequency above 60Hz will nar-

row the cone shape arc from the tungstenʼs tip.

Decreasing the AC frequency below 60Hz will

broaden the cone shape arc from the tungstenʼs tip.

FILLER MATERIAL:

The two above benefits can be used to maintain a

tight focus of the arc for precise heat control and tight

joint access. Because of the AC inverters abilities in

these areas the following recommendations are made

as a starting point:

The filler rods must deposit welds with mechanical

characteristics appropriate for the application.

COPPER TIG WELDING

Since TIG welding is a process characterized by high

heat concentration, it is particularly suitable for weld-

ing materials with high thermal conductivity, like cop-

per. As with steel, the DC Electrode Negative Polarity

is employed, with argon as protective gas.

• A 2% Thoriated tungsten is recommended instead

of the Pure tungsten that is normally recommended

for AC welding. Thoriated tungstens emit electrons

easier and therefore will improve starting.

Considering the fluidity of molten copper, the use of

backup support may prove useful.

• Sharpen the tungsten to a point. Normally it is rec-

ommended to pre-ball a pure tungsten when AC

welding with a conventional power source.

However, the AC inverter with itʼs extended AC bal-

ance control minimized tungsten heating thus allow-

ing for a pointed tungsten to be used.

FILLER MATERIAL:

In order to avoid the oxidation of the molten material,

filler materials containing phosphorus, silicon or other

deoxidating materials are typically used. The mechan-

ical properties can also be improved through the use

of silver.

• Set the AC Balance control to maximum 85% elec-

trode negative. This can be reduced if the material

welded is heavily oxidized, however starting at max-

imum and adjusting to less is desired.

TIPS FOR AC TIG WELDING

(AC/DC model only)

AC Inverter TIG power sources offer two significant

advantages over conventional Silicon Controlled

Rectifier (SCR) / transformer power sources:

• Set the AC Frequency in the 100 to 120 Hz range.

This is a "Sweet Spot" for most aluminum applica-

tions.

OPERATION

PROTECTIVE GAS

3. AC TIG Start Power:

Both argon and helium work when welding aluminum.

Argon is preferred, due to its lower cost and consump-

tion rate. This gas also tends to stabilize the arc, thus

making it easy to operate. For some applications,

however, the use of helium, or argon-helium blends, is

recommended due to better weld penetration and

faster travel speed. Helium is especially suitable for

welding thick workpieces. The recommended gas flow

rates are shown in table 5.

For AC TIG welding AC start power can be adjusted

from the set-up menu to aid starting if required. The

V205-T AC/DC when set to AC TIG will try to initiate

the arc with positive polarity until the arc is estab-

lished. Positive polarity puts more energy into heating

the tungsten but the drawback is that is can cause the

tungsten to ball excessively or to super heat. Note

super heating of the tungsten can be noticed if the

tungsten is glowing red or orange during starting.

Start Power can be adjusted within two ranges:

TABLE 5

Current (A)

Helium cfh-(l/min)

29 - (14)

Range

0.5 to 1

Mode

29 - (14)

Incremental setting

100

150

1.2 to 5.0

200

250

300

42 - (20)

53 - (25)

If start power is set within the incremental range

mode, the machine tries to start electrode positive at a

relative setting of 1. If the arc fails to establish it will

repeat the start sequence each time by incrementing

the amount of electrode positive energy by 10% more

(0.1) up to the start power limit setting or until the arc

establishes. For comparison a start power limit of 2 if

reached will have twice the energy of the starting point

of 1. If the tungsten has too much of a ball on it or

appears to be super heating during starts the start

power limit can be turned down. In the manual setting

range, the start power will not keep incrementing up to

a limit. Instead the start power stays at whatever level

is set. For example a setting of 0.5 will start the

machine with half the normal starting energy of 1.

TIPS FOR IMPROVED TIG STARTING

1. Start Current:

For the best AC or DC TIG starting characteristics it

may be necessary to adjust the start current on the

front panel depending on the tungsten size. In gener-

al, larger tungsten requires more energy to establish

an arc than smaller tungsten. As an initial guideline,

set the start current according to the following recom-

mendations:

Tungsten Size (in.)

0.020, 0.040 1/16th

3/32 th

Start Current (Amps)

6-10 Amps

10-12 Amps

1/8th

12-15 Amps

2. DC Strike Current:

Aside from start current, DC strike current can also be

adjusted from the set-up menu to get a hotter or softer

start when DC TIG welding. Strike current is an initial

spike of current that lasts a few milliseconds before

the machine goes to start current. In general, the fac-

tory default of 40 amps works for most applications. If

welding on very thin materials with small diameter

tungsten, strike current can be turned down to mini-

mize burning through the weld material. Like wise for

larger diameter tungsten strike current can be turned

up to put more energy in the tungsten.
