Translation of the original instructions
EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
• Put the machine on the floor (maximum incline of 10°).
• Ensure the work area has sufficient ventillation for welding, and that there is easy access to the control panel.
• The machine must not be used in an area with conductive metal dusts.
• The machine must be placed in a sheltered area away from rain or direct sunlight.
• The machine protection level is IP21, which means :
- Protection against acess to dangerous parts from solid bodies of a ≥12.5mm diameter and,
- Protection against vertically falling drops.
The manufacturer does not incur any responsability regarding damages to both objects and persons that result from an incorrect
and/or dangerous use of the machine .
MAINTENANCE / RECOMMENDATIONS
• Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified person. Annual maintenance is recommended.
• Ensure the machine is unplugged from the mains, and wait for two minutes before carrying out maintenance work. DANGER
High Voltage and Currents inside the machine.
• Remove the casing 2 or 3 times a year to remove any excess dust. Take this opportunity to have the electrical connections checked by a qualified
person, with an insulated tool.
• Regularly check the condition of the power supply cable. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after sales
service or an equally qualified person.
• Ensure the ventilation holes of the device are not blocked to allow adequate air circulation.
• Do not use this equipment to thaw pipes, to charge batteries, or to start any engine.
INSTALLATION – PRODUCT OPERATION
Only qualified personnel authorized by the manufacturer should perform the installation of the welding equipment. During set up, the operator must
ensure that the machine is unplugged. Connecting generators in a series or a parallel circuit is forbidden.
HARDWARE DESCRIPTION (FIG-1)
The PROTIG 200 DC HF inverter welding unit to be used with refractory electrodes (TIG) in direct current (DC) and electrode welding (MMA).
TIG welding requires gas shield protection of pure gas (Argon).
The MMA process can wel all types of electrodes : rutile, basic, stainless and cast iron.

POWER SUPPLY – STARTING UP
• This machine is fitted with a 16A socket type CEE7/7 which must be connected to a single-phase 230V (50 - 60 Hz) power supply fitted with three
wires and one earthed neutral.
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. The user has to make sure that the plug can be reached.
• The device turns into protection mode if the power supply tension over 265V RMS.
• To start the machine up, press the Standby Button (7). Attention ! Never disconnect the power supply when the machine is on.
• Fan: in MMA mode, the fan works nonstop. In TIG mode, the fan works only when welding, then stops after cooling.
• NB: If the screen displays
high (over 265V). If the machine switches on in protection mode, unplug the device and plug it into a socket delivering the correct voltage.
• The arc priming and stabilization device is designed for manual and mechanically guided operation.
CONNECTION ON A GENERATOR
The machine can work with generators as logn as the auxiliary power matches these requirements :
- The voltage must be AC, always set as specified, and the peak voltage below 400V,
- The frequency must be between 50 and 60 Hz.
It is imperative to check these requirements as several generators generate high voltage peaks that can damage these machines.
