INTRODUCTION
The DTE 200 and DTE 255 are welding power sources for two different welding methods --
welding with tungsten electrodes (TIG) and manual metal arc welding with coated electrodes
(MMA), using direct or alternating current.
They are is available in two designs:
S with OKC connection for the TIG torch
S with central connection for the TIG torch
Note:
Remove the TIG torch when using the MMA method.
When TIG welding, remove the electrode holder.
The machines are delivered with:
S Mains cable (5 m)
S Return cable (5 m)
S Gas hose
S Hose clamps
INSTALLATION
The installation shall be executed by a professional.
WARNING
This product is intended for industrial use. In a domestic environment this product may cause
radio interference. It is the user’s responsibility to take adequate precautions.
The machines have mains voltage compensation, which m eans that ±10% variation in the
supply voltage produces only ±0.2% var iation in the welding current.
To reduce the voltage drop resulting from the use of long welding cables, a cable with a larger
sectional area than the one indicated under Technical Data on page 6 could be used.
When the machine is started, the fan works at a reduced rotation speed, partly to reduce the
amount of dirt being sucked in, partly to reduce the noise level.
Only when the load is high does the fan work at full rotation speed.
Location and connection
S Place the welding power source so that the cooling air in-- and outlets remain free.
S Connect the shielding gas (see fig. on next page).
S Connect the TIG torch and the torch return cable, alternatively the welding and return
cable of the electrode holder (see fig. on next page).
S Make sure the welding power source is connected to the right mains voltage and that it is
properly fused. Connect to earth according to applicable regulations.
Rating plate with connection data is located on the rear of the welding power source.
The machine is now ready for use.
