Harbor Freight Tools TITANIUM TIG200 User Manual

Fault Codes
IMPORTANT!
Be CERTAIN to shut off the Welder, disconnect it from power, and discharge the
electrode to ground before adjusting or troubleshooting the unit.
Fault Code Table
Code Problem Possible Causes Likely Solutions
F01 Overheated The duty cycle limit of the
machine has been exceeded.
Allow the machine to cool down. Keep the
machine plugged in and turned on to allow
the fan to continue to run. Reduce duration or
frequency of welding periods. Refer to Duty Cycle
(Duration of Use) on page 15. Check for any
obstructions blocking air flow into the machine and
ensure proper clearance between any obstacles
and the vents on all sides of the machine.
F02 Incorrect Input
Voltage
The input voltage is too
high or too low.
Verify the voltage at the outlet and
the connection to the outlet.
F05 Torch Triggers
Before Machine
Is Turned On
The TIG torch trigger is
stuck or is triggered when
turning on the machine.
Turn OFF the machine and ensure
the TIG torch trigger is reset.
F09 Output Short
Circuited
Ground clamp and TIG torch or
electrode holder are in contact.
Check the connection of the ground clamp
and TIG torch or electrode holder to make
sure they are not in contact. Lift the electrode
holder or TIG torch up to take the electrode
away from the workpiece and restart arc.
Follow all Safety precautions whenever diagnosing or servicing the tool.
Disconnect power supply before service.
