INSTALLATION
WARNING !
Do not open the casing when the equipment is connected to the mains supply.
1. TIGAID 315 AC/DC is available in two versions, one is connected directly to the
existing mains supply, and the other is supplied via a power socket on the man-
ual welding power source.
TIGAID 315 AC/DC 115, 230, 240 V, 50/60 Hz is connected directly to the mains
supply using via an earthed socket. A three--core mains cable is fitted and the
earth core is colour--coded green and yellow.
The unit is configured for 230 V 50 Hz unless otherwise specified. If the mains
supply has a different voltage the transformer in the TIGAID unit must be reconfi-
gured as described below.
TIGAID 315 AC/DC 24 V, 50/60 Hz is designed for connection to the power
socket on a welding power supply.
2. Connect the gas hose from the reducer valve on the gas bottle to the gas nipple
at the rear of the unit. Pure argon is normally used as a shielding gas.
3. The connecting kit includes two power cables with power source terminals.
For DC welding these are connected from (+) on the welding power source to (+)
at the rear of the unit and from (--) on the power source to (--) at the rear of the
unit.
For AC welding, polarity is not important.
The connecting kit for power sources includes a 12 pin control cable. This is con-
nected between the remote socket on the power source and a 12 pin socket at
the rear of the unit.
4. Connect the TIG torch to the central socket.
5. Connect the return cable to + on the front panel. If welding with coated elec-
trodes connect the manual welding electrode to + or -- depending on the polar-
ity required, and connect the return cable to the remaining socket.
Both sockets are on the right side of the front panel. If AC welding, connect the
cables in the same way; polarity is not important.
6. Connect the power cable to the mains supply.
7. If a water--cooled torch is used it should be connected as described in the in-
struction manual for the torch.
