MAINTENANCE / RECOMMENDATIONS
• Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified person. A yearly maintenance is recommended.
• Ensure the machine is unplugged from the mains, and then wait 2 minutes before carrying out maintenance work. Inside, voltages and
currents are high and dangerous.
• Remove regularly the casing and any excess of 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 to prevent danger.
• Ensure the vents 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 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 series or in parallel is forbidden. It is recommended to use
the welding cables supplied with the unit in order to obtain the optimum product settings.
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION (FIG-1)
This welding machine is an inverter welding unit designed for use on refractory electrodes (TIG) in direct (DC) or alternative (AC) current and
electrode welding (MMA).
TIG welding requires gas shield protection of pure gas (Argon).
The MMA process can be used to weld any type of electrodes: rutile, basic, stainless steel and cast iron.

POWER SUPPLY - POWER UP
• The PROTIG 200 AC/DC is supplied with a 16A plug type CEE7/7 and must only be used on a single-phase electrical installation (50-60 Hz) with 3
wires including one connected to earth.
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
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.
• The arc priming and stabilisation device is designed for manual and mechanically guided operation.
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 400V,
- 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.
