INSTALLATION – PRODUCT OPERATION
Only qualified personnel authorized by the manufacturer should perform the installation of the cutting equipment.
During set up, the operator must ensure that the machine is unplugged.
DESCRIPTION
The PROTIG 201 AC/DC and PROTIG 201L AC/DC are inverter welding current sources for welding to the coated
electrode (MMA) and refractory electrode (TIG) in direct current (DC TIG ) and alternating current (AC TIG). The MMA
process can weld all types of electrodes : rutile, basic, stainless and cast iron.
TIG welding requires gas shield protection of pure gas (Argon). The PROTIG 201L AC/DC incorporates a cooling unit
as standard.
It is recommended to use the welding cables supplied with the unit in order to obtain the best performance.
POWER SUPPLY - POWER UP
The PROTIG 201L AC/DC is supplied with a 16A plug type CEE7/7 and must only be used on a single-phase electrical
installation 230V (50-60 Hz) with 3 wires including one connected to earth.
The PROTIG 201 AC/DC is supplied with a 16A plug type CEE7/7 and must only be used on a single-phase electrical ins-
tallation (50-60 Hz) with 3 wires including one connected to earth. This equipment features a "Flexible Voltage" system
is powered by an earthed electrical installation between 110V and 240V (50 - 60Hz).
The absorbed effective current (I1eff) is displayed on the machine, for optimal use. Check that the power supply and
its protection (fuse and/or circuit breaker) are compatible with the current needed by the machine. In some countries,
it may be necessary to change the plug to allow the use at maximum settings.
• It switches to protection mode if the power supply voltage is over 265 V. To indicate this fault, the display shows
Once the machine is in protective mode, unplug the machine and plug it into an outlet supplying the correct voltage.
• Fan behaviour: in MMA mode, the fan works continuously. In TIG mode, the fan works only during welding, then stops
after the machine has cooled down.
WORKING OFF A GENERATOR
These machines can work on generators as long as the auxiliary power matches the requirements below:
- The voltage must be AC, always set as specified, and the peak voltage below 700V,
- The frequency must be between 50 and 60 Hz.
It is imperative to check these requirements as certain generators can create high voltage peaks that can damage these
machines.
USE OF EXTENSION LEADS
All extension cables must have an adequate size and section, relative to the machine's voltage. Use an extension lead
that complies with national safety regulations.
