MADE IN FRANCE
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.
TIG HF
The arc initiating and stabilizing device is designed for manual
Warning: Increasing the length of the torch or earth return cables beyond the maximum length specified by the manufacturer
will increase the risk of electric shock.
INSTALLATION – PRODUCT OPERATION
Only qualified personnel authorised by the manufacturer should perform the installation of the welding equipment. During the installation, the
operator must ensure that the machine is disconnected from the mains. Connecting generators in serial or in parallel is forbidden.
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION (FIG-1)
The EXATIG has to be plugged into the DC power output (such as MMA for example) and it creates high frequency for a TIG HF ignition system. TIG
welding requires gas shield protection of pure gas (Argon). Connecting it into the EXAGON generator gives access to all the TIG settings.

POWER SWITCH
EXATIG is auto-supplied by power generator. This equipment can only be used with a generator which supplies a voltage between 10V and 100 V.
Warning, the EXATIG generates a high voltage with high frequency! Make sure the machine is well protected.
Make sure the supply chosen is consistant with the EXATIG duty cycle.
Warning, it is not possible to reduce the time between each weld to less than 3 seconds. A minimum delay between 2 trigger pushes is needed.
Connect the current generator to EXATIG using an interconnect cable (option) WARNING : Make sure to follow the polarity and compatibility between
the quarter-turn fitting and EXATIG generator terminals.
Connect gas arrival (argon) to EXATIG solenoid valve.
Machine welding assistance features (Hot Start, Arc force and Anti-sticking) must be deactivated.
Ensure that welding assistance features are turned off at the power source (e.g. hot start etc.) or it will prevent the machine from
going low enough in the voltage and reach 10V.
Machines must have a no-load voltage greater than 10 V to weld, otherwise the EXATIG will stop.
EXAGON case : Connect control harness between EXAGON and EXATIG; 2 possibilities:
• ref. 036925 : complete interconnect cable 11 m
• ref. 036918 : kit for interconnect cable see cabling p.24 + control cable (21544)
Continuous working fan Do not obstruct air vents.
