Safety Precautions

Read entire section before starting installation

WARNING!

Electric Shock can kill – Only qualified personnel should perform this installation. Turn off input

power at the fuse box before working on this equipment. Do not touch electrically live parts.

Always connect the machine to an earthed main supply as per national recommended

standards.

Select suitable location

Place the welder where clean cooling air can freely circulate in and out of the front & rear louver

vents. Dirt, dust or any foreign material that can be drawn through vents into welder must be

kept to a minimum. Failure to observe these precautions can result in excessive operating

temperatures which can lead to plant failure.

Grinding

Do not direct grinding particles towards the welder. An abundance of conductive material can

cause plant failure.

Stacking -This machine cannot be stacked.

Transport – Unloading

Never underestimate the weight of equipment, never move or leave suspended in the air

above people. Always use recommended lifting equipment.

WARNING!

Falling Equipment can cause injury. Never lift welder with gas bottle attached. Never lift above

personnel.

Tilting

Machine must be placed on a secure level surface or on a recommended

undercarriage/trolley. This machine may topple over if this procedure is not followed.

Environmental Rating

The welding power source carries the IP23S rating. It may be used in normal industrial

and commercial environments. Avoid using in areas where water / rain is around.

Read and follow the ‘Electric Shock Warnings’ in the safety section if welding must be

performed under electrically hazardous conditions such as welding in wet areas or water on

the work piece.

Electrical Installation

WARNING!

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN

KILL

Machine grounding and High Frequency Interference Protection

This welder must be grounded to earth. See national electrical codes for proper

grounding methods.

The high frequency generator being similar to a radio transmitter may cause interference to

radio, TV and other electronic equipment. These problems may be the result of radiated

interference.

Proper grounding methods can reduce or eliminate this.

Radiated interference can develop in the following ways

Direct interference from welder power source

Direct interference from the welding leads

Direct interference radiated from feedback into power lines

Interference from re-radiation by un-grounded metallic objects.

Keeping these contributing factors in mind, installing equipment as per following instructions

should minimize problems.

Keep the welder input power lines as short as possible and enclose as much of them

as possible in metal conduit or equivalent shielding. There should be a good electrical

contact between this conduit and ground (Earth).

Keep the work and electrode leads as short as possible. Tape the leads together

where practical.

Be sure the torch and earth lead rubber coverings are free from cuts and cracks that

allow welding power leakage

Keep earth lead connection to work in good condition – Clean area on workbench

where earth clamp is situated on a regular basis.

Input Connections

Make sure the voltage, phase and frequency of input power is as specified on machine rating

plate located at rear of machine.

Have a qualified electrician provide suitable input power as per national electrical codes. Make

sure machine is earthed / grounded.

Make sure fuse or circuit breaker is correct rating for machine. Using fuses or circuit

breakers smaller than recommended will result in ‘nuisance’ shut off from welder inrush

currents even if welding at low amperages.

Failure to follow these instructions can cause immediate failure within the welder and

void machines warranty.

Turn the input power OFF at the mains switch & fuse box before working on this

equipment. Have a qualified electrician install & service this equipment.

Allow machine to sit for 5 minutes minimum to allow the power capacitors to discharge

before working inside this equipment. Do not touch electrically live parts

The TIG160FPP Inverter TIG Welder requires a 240V 50/60Hz supply.

It comes with a 3 metre mains cable attached.

Connect wires according to national

coding. Brown wire – Live

Blue wire – Neutral

Green/Yellow Wire – Earth (Ground)

Connecting to a mains electrical supply

THIS MACHINE MUST BE FITTED TO A MINIMUM of 13AMP 240V MAINS

INPUT FOR FULL OUTPUT RANGE TO BE ACHIEVED.

Connecting to an Engine Driven Generator

If connecting this machine to an engine driven generator, please ensure the

following

Minimum Generator KVA Output – 5 KVA continuous

Generator to be fitted with AVR (automatic voltage

regulation) DO NOT USE ON A GENERATOR WITHOUT

AVR

Connecting to a generator without the above minimum requirements will in-

validate your warranty.

Connect the gas input hose to gas regulator and use ‘Pure Argon’ Gas, available from local

suppliers. Set gas flow/pressure to 8 LPM. Make sure gas bottle is secured to avoid injury.

Remote Foot Pedal connection.

Disconnect TIG Torch switch plug from torch control socket (Fig2.4) and connect plug from

foot pedal.
