force so giving control of penetraon.
10) Inial Current/Hotstart This control is dual
funcon
in TIG mode it sets the start level for the welding
current as a percentage of the main welding current.
In MMA mode it allows adjustment of the welding
current surge on arc striking to give reliable arc
striking in all condions.
11) Gas Output connecon This is a 3/8 BSP
connecon for the gas output used in TIG welding.
12) Main amperage control. This control is used to
control the welding current in TIG and MMA modes.
13) Posive connecon This is used to connect the
electrode holder in MMA or the earth lead in TIG
welding.
14) Negave connecon. This is used to connect
the earth lead in MMA welding or the torch in TIG
welding.
15) control socket This is used to control the machine
remotely using a trigger or amperage control
5.0 Installaon
Read enre installaon secon before starng
installaon.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Only qualied personnel should perform this
installaon.
• Only personnel that have read and understood the
Operang Manual should install and operate this
equipment.
• Machine must be grounded per any naonal, local
or other applicable electrical regulaons.
• The power switch is to be in the OFF posion when
installing work cable and electrode cable and when
connecng other equipment.
5.1 Unpacking the Machine
Carefully remove the machine from the packaging,
we recommend you retain the packaging unl the
machine has been fully installed and tested incase it
has been damaged in transit and has to be returned to
the re-seller.
5.2 Locaon
Be sure to locate the welder according to the following
guidelines:
In areas, free from moisture and dust.
Ambient temperature between 0-40
0
C.
In areas, free from oil, steam and corrosive gases.
In areas, not subjected to abnormal vibraon or shock.
In areas not exposed to direct sunlight or rain.
Place at a distance of 12” (300 mm) or more from
walls or similar that could restrict natural airow for
cooling.
5.3 Input and grounding connecon
WARNING
Before starng the installaon, check that your
power supply is adequate for the voltage, amperage,
phase, and frequency specied on the Machine
nameplate.
Operate the welding power source from a single-
phase 50/60 Hz, AC power supply. The input voltage
must match one of the electrical input voltages shown
on the input data label on the unit nameplate. The
XTI-201 ACDC machine should only be used on 230V
supply. Refer to the specicaons table for voltage
tolerances.
Have a qualied electrician connect the input plug.
For long runs over 30m , larger copper wires should
be used. The green/yellow wire in the input cable
connects to the frame of the machine. This ensures
proper grounding of the machine when the machine
plug is inserted into the receptacle.
5.4 Output Polarity Connecons
Electrode polarity
MMA electrodes are generally connected to the ‘+’
terminal and the work lead to the ‘-‘terminal
But if in doubt consult the electrode manufacturer’s
literature.
IF TIG welding the torch should always be connected
to the ‘-’ terminal.
5.5 Torch installaon
MMA cable connecons
Connect electrode lead to posive terminal
TIG welding cable connecon
Connect the TIG torch to the - terminal
5.6 Work return lead connecon
MMA cable connecons
Connect work lead to negave terminal
TIG welding
Connect the work return lead to the + terminal
