PANEL FUNCTIONS of TIG-205P PRO
Parameter autosaving
The parameters having been adjusted will be autosaved in the parameter group currently used (no autosaving will be done in the case that no operation is done after parameters are adjusted and the machine was turned off in 5s' time). When the machine is turned on next time, the parameters in this parameter group are just the parameters used last time. When the welding mode and op eration mode are reselected, autosaving will be done in IOS. No special Save button and manual saving operation is available for this machine.
Protection function
When the overheating indicator illuminates and the digital meter displays "E-3", it indicates that welding is forced to stop because the main circuit of the machine gets overheated. In this condition, It is unnecessary to turn Off the machine, but just wait a few minutes, and then welding can be continued.
Foot control option
This machine can identify the foot control automatically. That is to say, the machine will enter into foot control mode automatically af ter the aviation plug of the foot control is connected to the welding machine and the machine is powered on again. In foot control mode, the maximum current is the preset current and the minimum current is IOA.
Voltage indicator
When this indicator illuminates, it indicates that there is voltage output at the output terminal of the welding machine. When TIG is selected as the welding mode, there will be voltage Output only when the torch trigger is pressed continuously and after arc is ignited successfully. When STICK is selected as the welding mode, there will be voltage output whether arc is ignited or not.

Black area along weld bead | Oily or organic contamination on work | Clean work piece |
Tungsten electrode may be contaminated | Grind to clean electrode | |
Leaks in gas line or torch connection. | Check connection | |
Gas tank is near empty | Replace the gas tank. | |
Unstable Arc | Contaminated base metal. | Remove materials like paint, grease, Oil, and dirt, including mill scale from base metal |
Tungsten is contaminated | Remove 3/8" - 1/2" of contaminated tungsten and re-grind the tungsten | |
Arc length too long | Lower the torch so the arc length (tungsten to work distance) is approximately 1 to 1.5 times the diameter of the tungsten being used | |
Arc wanders | Tungsten incorrect or in poor condition | Check that correct type of tungsten is being used Remove tungsten 3/4" from the weld end and re-sharpen the tungsten |
Insufficient gas shielding | Check and set the gas flow between 20-30cfh flow rate. | |
Contaminated gas or leaks in gas line, torch, or connections | Check gas line & connections | |
Poorly prepared tungsten | Recommend tungsten grind angles range from 15 to 60 de grees based on the type of metal, joint design and penetration you desire. Standard is 30 degrees | |
Contaminated base metal. | Remove contaminating materials like paint, grease, Oil, and dirt, including mill scale from base metal. | |
Contaminated/lncorrect filler | Check the filler wire and remove all grease, Oil, or moisture from filler metal. | |
HF TIG doesn't initiate an arc | No gas, incorrect gas flow | Check the gas is connected and cylinder valve open, check hoses, gas valve and torch are not restricted Set the gas flow between 20-30 cfh flow rate. |
Poor work clamp connection | Check & secure work clamp | |
Contaninated Tungsten | Grind to clean Tungsten | |
Loose connection | Check all connectors and tighten | |
Earth clamp not connected to work | Connect the work clamp directly to the work piece wherever possible | |
