The BIG RED™ 600 can be used for Scratch-Start of DC TIG welding applications.

Use the “Output Range Selector” and “Output Control Adjustments” to set the desired current. To initiate a weld, the tungsten electrode is then scratched on the work which establishes the arc. To stop the arc, simply lift the TIG torch away from the work piece. The tungsten may then be scratched on the work piece to restrike the arc.

If a high frequency start is desired, the K930-2 TIG Module can be used with the BIG RED™ 600. The BIG RED™ 600 and any high frequency generating equipment must be properly grounded. See the K930-2 TIG Module operating manuals for com- plete instructions on installation, operation, and maintenance.

When using the TIG Module, the OUTPUT control on the BIG RED™ 600 is used to set the maximum range of the CURRENT CONTROL on the TIG Module or an Amptrol if connected to the TIG Module.
