RANGER 8 OPERATION
The tables (Table 8 & 9) list the recommended switch and control settings for the TIG Module/Ranger 8 combination. The first table is for the Ranger 8, and the second for the Ranger 8 with the
Operate the Ranger 8 in accordance with the Ranger 8 Manual.
Note: For AC TIG welding, the maximum TIG welding output currents on each range setting will be approximately 50% higher that those marked on the nameplate. This is due to the special nature of the AC TIG welding arc. Do not AC TIG weld on the 225AC range setting. The output current may exceed the rating of the Ranger 8.
