The Welbach ENTRIX 200 UK is a digital welding system designed for both professional and home use, offering a range of welding modes and features for various applications. This user manual provides comprehensive information for safe and efficient operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the device.
Function Description:
The ENTRIX 200 UK is a versatile welding machine capable of performing TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) and MMA (Manual Metal Arc) welding. It supports both AC (Alternating Current) and DC (Direct Current) welding for TIG, allowing it to weld a wide range of materials including steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The device incorporates advanced features such as PULS mode for TIG welding, which helps reduce heat input and is ideal for thin metal sheets. It also includes adjustable parameters like Start Amps, Up Slope, Peak Amps, Peak On Time, Pulse Frequency, Base Amps, AC Frequency, AC Balance, Down Slope, End Amps, and Post Flow, providing precise control over the welding process. For MMA welding, it features ARC FORCE, HOT START, and ANTI STICK functions to enhance arc stability and ease of use. The machine is designed for safe and trouble-free operation, adhering to strict technical guidelines and quality standards.

Usage Features:
The ENTRIX 200 UK is designed for user-friendly operation with a clear control panel and LED display.
- Control Panel: The front panel features a display (20), various control knobs, and buttons for selecting welding parameters and modes.
- Welding Modes: Users can switch between TIG and MMA welding modes using the operation mode switch (19). For TIG welding, both AC and DC options are available via the "AC/DC SWITCH" (4).
- Parameter Adjustment: Parameters like current, time, and frequency can be adjusted using the knob (2) after selecting the desired parameter.
- PULS TIG: This function (3) is beneficial for welding thin metal sheets by reducing heat input.
- 2T/4T Switch: In TIG mode, users can select between "2T" (two-stroke, without sustain) and "4T" (four-stroke, with sustain) modes (1).
- Programming: The device allows saving up to 10 different welding configurations (P01-P10). Users can save parameters by pressing and holding button (18) and load saved settings by pressing and holding button (17).
- Error Indicator: An LED indicator (21) lights up if the machine malfunctions or if the standard working time is exceeded, activating protection mode and stopping operation for cooling.
- Connectivity: The machine includes connectors for the mass cable, MMA electrode holder, TIG torch, TIG control cable, gas hose, and a foot pedal connection (22).
- Safety: The manual emphasizes strict adherence to safety warnings, including wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) such as welding masks, gloves, protective clothing, and safety glasses. It also highlights precautions against electric shock, fire, explosion, and harmful fumes. Proper ventilation and grounding are crucial during operation.
Maintenance Features:
Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity and trouble-free operation of the ENTRIX 200 UK.
- Cleaning: Always unplug the device before cleaning. Use cleaners without corrosive substances and ensure all parts are dry before reuse.
- Storage: Store the unit in a dry, cool place, free from moisture and direct exposure to sunlight.
- Regular Checks: Periodically inspect the device for any damage. If damage is found, stop using the device and contact customer service.
- Troubleshooting: In case of problems, users are advised to contact customer service with the invoice number, serial number, and a detailed description or picture of the issue.
