Follow these steps to set up your CaddyTig 2200i TA34 AC/DC welding machine:
- מאַכט קשר: Connect the machine to a single-phase power supply. Ensure the power source meets the machine's requirements. The integrated PFC circuit allows for use with extra-long mains cables (over 100m) and portable generators.
- גאַז קשר: Connect the appropriate shielding gas cylinder (e.g., Argon for TIG welding) to the gas inlet on the machine. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free.
- טאָרטש פֿאַרבינדונג: Connect the TIG torch to the designated connector on the machine. The CaddyTig 2200i AC/DC features robust, shock-resistant cable connectors with OKC 50.
- אַרבעט קלamp קשר: צוטשעפּען די אַרבעט קלamp cable to the machine and securely fasten the clamp צום ווערקפּיס אָדער וועַלדינג טיש, זיכער מאַכנדיק גוטן עלעקטרישן קאָנטאַקט.
- ילעקטראָוד ינסטאַלירונג: Install the correct tungsten electrode into the TIG torch collet, ensuring proper stick-out for your application.
- ווענטילאַטיאָן: Ensure adequate ventilation in the welding area to disperse fumes and gases.
5. אָפּערייטינג
The CaddyTig 2200i TA34 AC/DC offers advanced controls for precise welding.
- מאַכט אויף: Turn on the main power switch. The control panel will illuminate.
- Parameter Setting (TA34): The TA34 version is designed to support and enhance the welder's skills. It allows for excellent welding results across a wide range of materials and thicknesses.
- AC/DC Mode Selection: Select either AC (for aluminum and magnesium) or DC (for steel, stainless steel, copper, etc.) welding mode based on the material.
- איצטיקע אַדזשאַסטמאַנט: אַדזשאַסטירן דעם שווייס קראַנט (amperage) according to the material thickness and type.
- AC Frequency and Balance (AC Mode): Fine-tune AC frequency and balance to optimize arc stability and cleaning action on aluminum.
- Pulsed TIG (DC Mode): Activate and adjust pulse parameters (peak current, base current, pulse frequency) for better heat input control, especially on thin materials. The Micro Pulse function further minimizes the heat-affected zone.
- Upslope/Downslope (TA34): The TA34 version comes with adjustable upslope and downslope, allowing for controlled start and end of the weld bead, preventing crater defects.
- 2-Program Function (TA34): Utilize the 2-program function to pre-set and quickly switch between different welding parameters for varying tasks or material thicknesses during a single welding session.
- Initiating Arc: Use the torch trigger to initiate the arc. Maintain proper arc length and torch angle for optimal results.
- Post-Flow: Allow the gas post-flow to protect the cooling weld and electrode from atmospheric contamination.
