Connects to any primary voltage between 380 and 440V without need for any action from the
operator.
Line Voltage compensation keeps output of the power source constant regardless of fluctuation in
input power from 10% below lowest to above highest rated input voltage.
Safe in use. Touchable Open Circuit Voltage only 9V, well below the 70V limit set by the Code of
Safe Working Practices for Merchant Seamen.
Automatic Hot Start for stick arc starts makes arc striking easy and prevents electrode sticking.
Adjustable Arc Force for stick electrode welding allows the arc characteristics to be changed for
specific applications and electrodes.
Lift-Start in TIG mode provides easy and soft TIG arc starting.
Casing of high grade aluminium and industrial plastic to eliminate corrosion damage also contributes
to low-weight which together with compact outer dimensions provides good portability.
Wind tunnel design for the internal cooling air flow protects electrical components and PC boards
from dirt, dust, debris, greatly improving reliability.
Thermal overload protection with indicator lights helps prevent machine damage if the duty cycle is
exceeded or airflow is blocked.
Total Protection function with indicator light prevents machine damage if one phase in the primary
power supply falls out.

X: Duty cycle
Duty Cycle is percentage of 10 minutes that unit can weld at rated load without overheating.
It refers to a 40°C environmental temperature. If unit overheats a thermal switch stops the output, the
warning light for over-temperature is lit and the cooling fan continues to run. Wait fifteen minutes for
unit to cool. Reduce amperage or duty cycle before starting to weld.
Ur = No-load voltage
Is the voltage between welding terminals (touchable voltage) when the machine is idle and equipped
with a voltage reduction function for operator safety. Low value means high operator safety, and with
this in mind this machine satisfies the world’s strictest regulation: AS 1674.2-2007 Safety in welding
and allied processes (Australian standard) which allows for maximum 35V.
U2 = Arc voltage
Voltage present between the output outlets when welding is being carried out, in relation to a
particular set current. The relation, for the various welding modes is the following:
MMA→U2=(20+0,04*I2)
TIG →U2=(10+0,04*I2)

Description
1. Active VRD signal. When lit this shows that the Voltage Reducing Device is active, reducing
the voltage across the welding sockets. This will happen within 2 seconds after the welding
arc is broken to protect the welder from electric chock.
Full arc striking voltage will automatically be re-established when the welding circuit is re-
established by touching the electrode to the work-piece
2. Remote control signal. Will be lit when a remote control is connected and remote adjustment
is selected at the back of the machine.
3. Power on warning. Green light when the machine is connected and switched on.
4. Thermal protection activated. Yellow light indicates that the protection thermostat has cut the
output. Do not switch the machine off. The fan will be running and the thermostat resets
automatically when the machine has cooled down sufficiently. The light will darken when the
machine is live again.
7. Arc force increases the short circuit amperage providing a crisper arc, allowing the welder to
use very short arc without sticking the electrode in the melt pool. It is useful when welding
with stick electrodes at low amperages but gives more spatter. Set control to 0 (soft arc) for
normal electrode welding and TIG welding.
Hot start
The machine has automatic Hot Start for stick electrode welding. This makes arc striking easier and
reduces the possibility of electrode sticking
Arc Force
Use no or low Arc Force setting for smooth running electrodes like LH and SPECIAL.
Increased setting provides optimal characteristics for stiffer, more penetrating electrodes like E6010
types, chamfering electrodes like CH2 and electrodes for ACA gouging. It may also be an advantage
im position welding
Select TIG process (selector switch down) and connect TIG torch to negative (-) terminal on the
machine. The torch should preferably have gas valve on the handle. Connect ground (return) cable
with good contact to the work piece.
When the TIG process is selected normal open-circuit voltage is not present before tungsten
electrode touches and lifts from work piece. Only a low sensing voltage is present between
electrode and work piece.
The solid-state output contactor does not energize until after electrode is touching work piece.
This allows the electrode to touch the work piece without overheating, sticking, getting contaminated
or contaminate the work piece.

2 Workpiece
Two pcs UWI-320TP may be parallel connected and will then supply up to 640A current for stick
electrode welding and, more important, for Air Carbon Arc gouging. This is done as follows:
- Set both machines to remote control and if extensions are necessary use same length
remote control cables from each machine to the work site where the remote control parallel
connection kit, product number 676973, is used to connect both machines to the same
remote control
- If remote control is not used both machines should be set to the same ampere value on the
displays, half of the required value for the electrode
- Return cables from both machines should be of equal length and clamps should be
connected close together directly on a clean part of the work-piece. 70mm2 cable is
recommended. NB! Same polarity for both on the welding machines.
- Welding cables from both machines must be of equal length to the work site where the
parallel connecting three-way connector DIX70 male-female-female, product number
632901 is used to connect both machines to the same electrode holder.
- For Air Carbon Arc gouging plus (+) polarity should be selected to the torch, and Arc force
).should be set at maximum. ACA torch 600A (product number 528703). A connector
conversion is required here, product number 634121.

The safety information given below is only a summary of the more complete safety information found
in the Safety Standards listed in Section 1-5. Read and follow all Safety Standards.
Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, and repair this unit. During operation, keep
everybody, especially children, away.
Do not touch live electrical parts. Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection. Insulate
yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats or covers big enough to prevent any
physical contact with the work or ground. Do not use AC output in damp areas, if movement is
confined, or if there is a danger of falling. Use AC output ONLY if required for the welding process. If
AC output is required, use remote output control if present on unit.
Disconnect input power before installing or servicing this equipment. Always verify the supply
ground − check and be sure that input power cord ground wire is properly connected to ground
terminal in the cord plug and that the plug is connected to a properly grounded receptacle outlet.
When making input connections, attach proper grounding conductor first − double-check
connections. Frequently inspect input power cord for damage or bare wiring −replace cord
immediately if damaged − bare wiring can kill. Turn off all equipment when not in use.
Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or poorly spliced cables. Do not drape cables over your
body. If earth grounding of the work-piece is required, ground it directly with a separate cable. Do not
touch electrode if you are in contact with the work, ground, or another electrode from a different
machine.
Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damaged parts at once. Maintain unit
according to manual. Wear a safety harness if working above floor level. Keep all panels and covers
securely in place. Clamp work cable with good metal-to-metal contact to work-piece or worktable as
near the weld as practical. Insulate work clamp when not connected to work-piece to prevent contact
with any metal object. Do not connect more than one electrode or work cable to any single weld
output terminal.
SIGNIFICANT DC VOLTAGE exists after removal of input power on inverters. Turn off inverter,
disconnect input power, and discharge input capacitors before touching any parts.
Do not install or place unit on, over, or near combustible surfaces. Do not install unit near
flammables. Do not overload building wiring − be sure power supply system is properly sized, rated,
and protected to handle this unit.
EMF Information
Considerations about welding and the effects of low frequency electric and magnetic fields.
Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electromagnetic fields.
There has been and still is some concern about such fields.
However, after examining more than 500 studies spanning 17 years of research, a special blue
ribbon committee of the National Research Council concluded that: “The body of evidence, in the
committee’s judgment, has not demonstrated that exposure to power-frequency electric and
magnetic fields is a human-health hazard.”
However, studies are still going forth and evidence continues to be examined. Until the final
conclusions of the research are reached, you may wish to minimize your exposure to
electromagnetic fields when welding or cutting.
