Do you have a question about the Spartus EasyTIG 206P DC and is the answer not in the manual?

Overview

The SPARTUS® EasyTIG 206P DC is a modern, digitally controlled inverter welding machine, built on IGBTs and PWM technology. It is designed for both TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) and MMA (Manual Metal Arc) welding, with a maximum current of 200A. This device is powered by a single-phase 230V source.

Function Description

The EasyTIG 206P DC is a versatile and compact machine, ideal for welding stainless and acid-resistant steels. Its built-in pulse welding mode allows for the welding of very thin elements, achieving excellent weld quality at high speeds while minimizing heat input into the material. This is further enhanced by the included COLD WELD function.

The device features an easy-to-use and intuitive function panel that provides precise control over all important welding parameters for both TIG DC and MMA DC modes.

In TIG mode, the following parameters can be set:

  • Upslope/Downslope time: Controls the time it takes for the current to increase to the welding current and decrease from the welding current.
  • TIG Puls parameters: Includes pulse current, base current, pulse frequency, and pulse width, allowing for fine-tuning of the pulsed arc.
  • Mode selection 2T/4T: Offers two torch control modes for different welding applications.
  • Pre-gas/Post-gas: Controls the flow of shielding gas before and after welding to protect the weld pool.
  • COLD WELD: A specialized function for minimizing heat input.

For MMA welding, the device supports the following functions:

  • VRD (Voltage Reduction Device): Enhances safety by reducing the open-circuit voltage when not welding.
  • Arc Force: Helps prevent the electrode from sticking by increasing the current when the arc length becomes too short.
  • Hot Start: Provides a temporary increase in current at the beginning of welding to ensure easy arc ignition.

The device incorporates a wide range of modern technologies to support the operator during welding and protect the device from damage. It is suitable for portable repair, workshop use, maintenance, and light construction.

Usage Features

The SPARTUS® EasyTIG 206P DC is designed for professional and industrial applications. Installation and use must be carried out by appropriately trained professionals.

  • Safety: The device has a degree of protection IP21S, meaning it is intended for use in closed and covered areas and suitable for outdoor use, but not during precipitation if uncovered. Operators must be aware of hazards such as electric shock, arc radiation, fumes, gases, noise, and fire/explosion risks. Proper protective measures, including dry and undamaged protective clothing, must be used.
  • Cooling: The unit should be placed on a dry, flat surface, avoiding excessive slopes or slippery surfaces. Vents must be checked regularly to ensure they are not covered, maintaining a minimum distance of 50cm from walls.
  • Movement and Handling: When moving the welding machine, extra care should be taken. It should be moved using specially designed transport lugs. If the transport handle is damaged, it must be repaired at an authorized service center.
  • Power Connection: Before connecting to the power supply, verify that the power network parameters (voltage, permissible range of mains voltage fluctuations) are compatible with the device's rating plate. The power cord and plug must be in good mechanical condition. The welding machine must be connected to a properly grounded network.
  • TIG Welding Installation:
    1. Ensure the device is disconnected from power and the switch is in the OFF position.
    2. Connect the gas cylinder with an appropriate shielding gas (e.g., argon, helium, or a mixture) and ensure the valve is closed.
    3. Connect the gas regulator to the cylinder valve.
    4. Connect the gas hose from the regulator outlet to the device's gas input joint.
    5. Connect the TIG torch plug into the SK socket.
    6. Connect the TIG torch control plug into the control socket.
    7. Connect the return line to the SK socket ("-") and the earth clamp to the workpiece.
    8. Connect the welding device to the power source.
    9. Turn on the device by setting the power switch to the ON position.
  • MMA Welding Installation:
    1. Ensure the device is disconnected from power and the switch is in the OFF position.
    2. Connect the electrode cable plug into the appropriate SK socket ("+" or "-").
    3. Connect the return cable plug into the appropriate SK socket ("-" or "+").
    4. Connect the earth clamp to the workpiece.
    5. Connect the welding device to the power source.
    6. Turn on the device by setting the power switch to the ON position.
  • Control Panel: The control panel allows adjustment of parameters via a knob. When the "Adjust knob" is adjusted to a function, its indicator light turns on. To select setting parameters, press the "Adjust knob" until the indicator light blinks, then twist the knob to select the function. Press the "Adjust knob" again to enter the parameter adjustment state and twist the knob to adjust the parameters.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the device's longevity and proper operation.

  • Routine Maintenance (daily/before use/installation):
    • Perform a visual inspection of the housing, knobs, and control panel.
    • Inspect (visual inspection) the power cord and power plug. Check the insulation of the cable.
    • Check the condition of welding cables and their connectors. If cable insulation is damaged, replace it. If the connection is too loose, eliminate backlash.
    • Check if the cooling fan is working properly.
    • Make sure all vents are not obstructed.
  • At least once a month:
    • Regularly remove dust from inside the machine. Use compressed air for this. The pressure should be sufficiently low to avoid damaging small components inside the machine. In dusty workplaces, clean more often.
    • Perform inspection of internal electrical components. If any joints are loose, tighten them.
  • Overheating Protection: The security system will activate if the welder overheats, turning off welding and illuminating an abnormal indicator on the front panel. Do not turn off the unit immediately; allow time for the fan to cool the unit (approx. 15 minutes) before resuming operation.
  • Repairs: All repairs during the warranty period must be carried out by an authorized service center. Unauthorized repairs will void the warranty.
  • Troubleshooting: The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues related to turning on the machine, TIG welding, and MMA welding, offering solutions such as checking connections, supply voltage, and welding parameters. If problems persist, contact a SPARTUS® dealer or authorized service center.
