PIPELINER® 200D KUBOTA

A-2

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 LN-25 wire feeder.
The optional Remote Control Kit provides a remote
control rheostat for remote fine current and open cir-
cuit voltage adjustment.
The Pipeliner® 200D KUBOTA has Diesel Engine
Protection. In the event of sudden low oil pressure or
high coolant temperature, the engine immediately
shuts down.
The Pipeliner® 200D KUBOTA has a current range of
40-300 DC amps with output ratings as follows:
The unit is also capable of providing 1.75 kw of 120V
DC auxiliary power.
This unit uses the Kubota V2403M Industrial water
cooled diesel engine.
DESIGN FEATURES
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.
The control panel also contains a three prong ground-
ing type receptacle for auxiliary power, an engine tem-
perature gauge, a battery charging ammeter an oil
pressure gauge and a high idle RPM adjustment
knob.
WELDING GENERATOR
The Pipeliner® 200D KUBOTA uses the old style,
round, all copper FJW Generator frame which pro-
vides the customer with the original “Classic” pipe
welding arc.
ENGINE IDLER
The Pipeliner® 200D KUBOTA 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 built-
in time delay permits changing electrodes before the
engine slows to its low idle speed. The “Idler” control
switch on the panel locks the idler in the full speed
position when desired.
AUXILIARY POWER
1.75 kw of nominal 120V DC. Output voltage is main-
tained 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 (-).
CRANKING SYSTEM
A 12V electric starter is standard.
AIR CLEANER
Heavy duty two-stage dry type
MUFFLER
A muffler and stainless steel exhaust outlet pipe are
standard.
ENGINE HOUR METER
A meter to record the hours of operation.
ENGINE PROTECTION - The system shuts the
engine down in the event of sudden low oil pressure
or high coolant temperature. A warning light on the
control panel will indicate such a fault. To reset the
engine for restarting, turn the ignition switch off then
on. Refer to Troubleshooting section for all warning
light fault codes.
CUSTOM ARC™ HIGH IDLE RPM (OCV)
ADJUSTMENT - A Potentiometer is mounted on the
Control Panel that allows the operator to adjust the
high idle engine speed between 1450 and 1600
RPM’S. This is to allow further adjustment of the OCV.
Total OCV adjustment range is about 15 volts.
OIL DRAIN VALVE- A ball valve, hose and clamp are
standard.
REMOTE CONTROL- The Remote/Local switch and
Receptacle are standard.
