Questions and Answers

  • C
    Cassandra BentleyAug 6, 2025
    Why does my GYS Welding System not deliver current and the yellow thermal default light is on?
    • G
      Gregory ThompsonAug 6, 2025
      The thermal protection may be activated. Wait approximately 2 minutes for the cooling period to end. The light will turn off when it's ready.

    How to fix unstable arc on my GYS Welding System?
    • D
      Desiree BushAug 10, 2025
      An unstable arc can be caused by several factors: 1. Incorrect electrode size: Ensure you are using the correct size of tungsten electrode. 2. Poorly prepared electrode: Use a well-prepared tungsten electrode. 3. Excessive gas flow: If using weak currents, try increasing the frequency.

    What to do if my GYS Welding System display is on but no current is delivered?
    • T
      Thomas WilsonAug 14, 2025
      If the display is on but the device isn't delivering current, the earth clamp or electrode holder might not be properly connected. Check all connections to ensure they are secure.

    Why does the tungsten electrode oxidize and tarnish the end of the weld on my GYS Welding System?
    • S
      Sophia LamAug 19, 2025
      Oxidation and tarnishing of the tungsten electrode can occur due to: * An unprotected welding zone: Protect the welding zone against air flow while cooling (post-gas). * Post-gas fault: Increase the duration of post-gas. * Loose gas connections: Check and tighten all gas connections.

    What does it mean if my GYS Welding System display indicates an error on startup?
    • J
      Jennifer EllisAug 23, 2025
      This indicates that the voltage is outside the acceptable range. For TIG 168, the voltage should be 230V +/- 15%. For TIG 200, it should be between 85V and 265V. Check the electrical installation to ensure it meets these requirements.
  • K
    Katherine JordanAug 27, 2025
    Why does the electrode melt when using my GYS Welding System?
    • B
      Bethany RothAug 27, 2025
      Electrode melting is often caused by a polarity error. Ensure that the earth clamp is properly connected to the positive (+ve) terminal.

    Mrs. Ashley GrahamSep 1, 2025
    What does "PH" displayed on the screen of my GYS Welding System mean?
    • J
      josephwhiteSep 1, 2025
      The "PH" on the screen indicates a phase detection problem. Verify that all phases are connected and then reset the machine to clear the fault.
