Troubleshooting - GYS TIG 168 DC HF Manual De Instrucciones

MADE IN FRANCE
Functions
Manual remote control: (GYS product ref.045675)
The remote control enables the variation of current from minimum intensity (DC : 10A / MMA : 10A) to an intensity
defined by the user.
In this configuration, all modes and functions of the machine are accessible and can be set.
Pedal (GYS product ref.045682):
In all modes excluding « Spot » mode, the pedal control enables variation of the current from the minimum intensity
(DC : 10A / MMA : 10) to an intensity definied by the user.
In TIG mode, the machine will only operate in two-stage welding (2T mode). The upslope and downslope are not auto-
matic, and are controlled by the User with the foot pedal.
In « Spot » mode, the pedal control replaces the torch trigger (the pedal position has no effect on the current).

Failure of the tungsten electrode
Thermal protection is on.
the unit.
TIG 168 = 230V +/- 15%.
TIG 200 = 85V - 265V
Gas flow is too high
Unprotected welding zone
Fault from post-gas
Polarity error
Phase detection problem
Remedies
Wait for the end of the cooling
period, approx. 2mn. The light
turns off.
Check the connections
Check the electrical installation.
Ensure the correct size of Elec-
trode is being used.
Use a well prepared tungsten
electrode
With weak currents, increase the
frequency
Protect welding zone against air
flow (Post-gas) whilst cooling.
Increase post-gas duration
Check and tighten all gas connec-
tions
Check that the earth clamp is pro-
perly connected to +ve
Check that all phases are connec-
ted. Reset the machine to reset
the fault.
