SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have thoroughly read the engine manufacturer’s manual supplied with your welder. It includes important safety precautions, detailed engine starting, operating and maintenance instructions, and parts lists.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Do not touch electrically live parts or electrode with skin or wet clothing.
•Insulate yourself from work and ground
•Always wear dry insulating gloves.
ENGINE EXHAUST can kill.
• Use in open, well ventilated areas or vent exhaust outside.
MOVING PARTS can injure.
•Do not operate with doors open or guards off.
• Stop engine before servicing.
•Keep away from moving parts.
See additional warning information at front of this operator’s manual.
Operate the welder with the doors closed. Leaving the doors open changes the designed air flow and can cause overheating.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Pipeliner 200D is a heavy duty engine driven DC arc welding power source capable of providing DC constant current output for stick welding and DC TIG welding. With the addition of the optional Wire Feed Module the Pipeliner 200D will provide constant volt- age output for running the
The optional Remote Control Kit provides a remote control rheostat for remote fine current and open cir- cuit voltage adjustment.
The Pipeliner 200D has Diesel Engine Protection. In the event of sudden low oil pressure or high coolant temperature, the engine immediately shuts down.
The Pipeliner 200D has a current range of
RATED | OUTPUT | DUTY CYCLE |
|
|
|
200A | @ 28V | 60% |
200A | @ 40V | 60% |

The unit is also capable of providing 1.80 kw of 120V DC auxiliary power at 35% duty cycle maximum.
This unit uses the PERKINS 104.22 Industrial water cooled diesel engine.
DESIGN SUMMARY
Control Panel
Both the engine and the welder controls are located on one recessed panel at the exciter end of the machine. The welder controls consist of a five step “Current Range Selector” switch and a “Fine Current Adjustment” rheostat. The welder is equipped with a “Start” button,”Glow Plug” button, “Ignition” switch, “Idler” control switch, hour meter, “Engine Protection” indicator light, “Remote / Local Switch and Receptacle a battery charging ammeter, an oil pressure gauge and engine coolant temperature gauge.
The control panel also contains a three prong ground- ing type receptacle for auxiliary power.
Welding Generator
The Pipeliner 200D uses the old style, round, all cop- per FJW Generator frame which provides the cus- tomer with the original “Classic” pipe welding arc.
Engine Idler
The Pipeliner 200D is equipped with an electronic automatic engine idler. It automatically increases and decreases engine speed when starting and stopping welding or using auxiliary power. A
Auxiliary Power
1.80kw of nominal 120V DC auxiliary power at 35% duty cycle maximum. Output voltage is maintained within ± 10% at all loads up to rated capacity.
Welder Enclosure
The complete welder is rubber mounted on a rugged steel “C” channel base.
The output terminals are placed at the side of the machine so that they are protected by the door. The output terminals are labeled (+) and
