2.1 General
The welding machine applies the most advanced inversion technology in the world.
The principle of inversion is to transform the power frequency of 50Hz/60Hz into direct current
and invert it into high frequency (25KHz) through high-power device IGBT, then perform
voltage-drop and commutation with the output high-power D.C power supply via Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM). Since the switch power inversion technology is adopted, the weight and
volume decrease greatly while the conversion efficiency increase of more than 30%
The machine has the functions of STICK and TIG. It adopts full digital panel display, which can
realize synergic adjustment and welding voltage as well to regulate the welding parameters
easily.
Thank your for choosing our products. Please feel free to propose your valuable suggestions;
we will make efforts to perfect our products and service.
The machine is mainly used in industrial fields. It will cause radion interference if used
indoors. Please take through precaution measures.

3 Installation
The welding equipment is equipped with power voltage compensation device. It keeps the
machine work normally when power voltage fluctuating at AC95V~AC256V of rated voltage.
When using long cable, in order to reduce voltage drop, big section cable is suggested. If the
cable is too long, it will affect the performance of arcing and other system function, it is
suggested to use the recommend length.
Make sure the intake of the machine is not covered or blocked to avoid the malfunction of
the cooling system.
Use ground cable whose section no less than 6mm2 to connect the housing and earth. The
method is to connect the grounded interface in the back to the earth device, or make sure
the earth end of power interface has been reliably and independently grounded. Both ways
can be used together for better security.
Arc 160-PFC Installation Procedures
：
Correct Installation of LIFT TIG
a) Connect the shielded-gas source correctly. The gas supplying route shall include gas
cylinder, argon decompression flow meter and gas pipe. The connecting parts of the gas
pipe should be fastened by hose clamp or other objects, in order to prevent leakage and air-
in.
b) Connect the plug of TIG torch to “-“of the front panel, and fasten it clockwise.
c) Connect the plug of TIG torch to the relative interfaces of panel and fasten the screw.
d) Connect one end of the earth clamp cable to “+” of the front panel, and fasten it clockwise,
the other end clamp the workpiece.
Correct Installation of STICK
a) Make sure cable with electrode holder and quick plug connected well. Connect the quick
plug to the socket “-” of the machine, and fasten it clockwise tightly.
b) Connect the quick plug at one end of the cable into the socket “+” of the machine, and
fasten it clockwise, the other end clamps the workpiece.
c) Please pay attention to the connecting terminal, DC welding machine has two connecting
ways: positive connection and negative connection. Positive connection: holder connects
with “-” terminal, while work piece with the “+” terminal. Negative connection: work piece with
the“-” terminal, holder with the “+” terminal. Choose suitable way according to the working
situation. If unsuitable choice is made, it will cause unstable arc, more spatters and
conglutination. If such problems occur, please change the polarity of the fastened plug. It
10
Page 13
should adopt negative connection when welding with alkaline electrode, while positive
connection when welding with acid electrode.
This procedure shall be operated by electrician!
Connect proper power cable to the distribution box with corresponding capacity according to
the input voltage and current (See technical parameter table). Do not connect to the
inappropriate voltage and make sure that the difference of power supply is within permitted
range.

4.3 Welding environment and safety
Environment
a) The machine works in environment where air conditions are dry with a dampness level of
max 90%.
b) Ambient temperature should be between -10 to 40 degrees centigrade.
c) Avoid welding in sunshine or raining. Avoid water entering the machine
d) Avoid welding in dust area or the environment with corrosive gas.
e) Avoid gas welding in the environment with strong airflow.
Safety Checkpoint
Our welding machine has a protection circuit of over voltage, over current and over heat. When
voltage, output current and temperature of machine are exceeding the rated standard, welding
machine will stop working automatically. Excessive operation under over voltage, over current
or over heat may damage the machine; operator must pay attention to followings.
a) The working area is adequately ventilated
！
The welding machine is medium and small model. But the running of the machine will also
generate high currents, which natural wind circulation cannot satisfy its cooling demands.
Therefore, each machine has an internal fan to ensure its stable performance. Make sure the
intake is not blocked or covered, there should be 0.3 meter distance from welding machine to
objects of environment. User should make sure the working area is adequately ventilated. It is
important for the performance and the longevity of the machine.
b) Do not over load
！
The operator should keep an eye on max duty current (Compared to the selected duty cycle) to
make sure that the machine working current does not exceed max duty cycle current. Over-
load current will damage and even burn the machine.
If machine exceeds standard duty cycle, it may stop working and switch to protection status.
The temperature control switch is activated by over heat released under this circumstance.
Meanwhile, the over heat indicator lights up. Under this situation, you do not need to pull out
the power plug since the internal fan can work to cool down the machine. When the over heat
indicator stops, the temperature has been lowed down to standard range, operator is able to
starting working again.
c) No over voltage
！
Power voltage can be found in diagram of parameters. Automatic compensation circuit of
voltage will assure that welding current keeps is in allowable range. If power voltage is
16
Page 19
exceeding allowable range limits, it can damage the components of machine. The operator
should understand this situation and take preventive measures.
d) There is a grounding cable behind welding machine with a mark. Before operation, welding
crust must be grounded reliably with cable, in order to prevent static electricity, and
accidents for electricity leaking.
4.4 Welding problems and resolution
The phenomenon listed below may happen due to relevant accessories used, welding material,
surroundings and power supply. Pleas improve surroundings and avoid these problems..
Arc starting difficulty. Arc interruption happens easily
a) Examine whether grounding wire clamp contacts with the work pieces well.
b) Examine whether each joint has improper contact.
The output current fails to reach rated value
The deviation of power voltage from rated value may cause that the output current does no
accord with adjusted value. When the power voltage is lower than rated value, the maximum
output current may be lower than rated value.
The current can not keep stable during operation
This situation may relate to the following factors:
a) The voltage of electric power network changes;
b) Serious interference from electric power network or other electric facilities.
Gas vent in welds
a) Examine whether the gas supply circuit has leakage.
b) Examine whether there is sundries such as oil, dirt, rust, paint etc. on the surface.
17
Page 20
5 Daily maintenance and checking
Daily maintenance
a)
Remove dust regularly with dry compressed air. If the welding machine is used in
surroundings with heavy smoke and polluted air, it is necessary to remove dust at least
one time one month.
b)
The pressure of compressed air shall fall to required level to prevent damage to small
components in the machine.
c)
Examine inside electric joints and ensure perfect contact (Especially plugs and sockets).
Fasten the loosing joints. In case of oxidation, remove oxide film with sand paper and
connect again.
d)
Prevent water from entering into the machine and prevent the machine from getting moist.
If any, blow and dry. Measure the insulation with megohmmeter to make sure it is qualified
to use.
e)
If the welding machine is not used for a long time, pack the machine in original package
and store in dry surroundings.
f)
Every time the wire feeder operates for 300hours, grind the electrical carbon brush and
clear up the armature commutator. Rinse speed reducer, apply 2# Molybdenum Disulfide
lubricant to the turbine, whirlpool rod and bearing.
The power shall be cut off completely before all maintenance, repairing works. Make
sure to pull out power plug before opening the case.
