OPERATION

B-12

CAUTION

Note that some types of equipment, especially pumps and motors, have starting currents which are signifi- cantly higher than their running currents. These higher starting currents may cause the circuit breaker to open. If this situation occurs, the user should refrain from using the Square Wave TIG 255 auxiliary for that equipment.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

This welder has thermostatic protection from excessive duty cycles, overloads, loss of cooling, and high ambient temperatures. When the welder is subjected to an overload or loss of cooling, a thermostat will open. This condition will be indicated by the illumination of the yellow Thermostatic Protection Light on the case front (see Figure A.2). Also, the Display will be blank, and all of the red Control Panel lights will be out. The fan will continue to run to cool the power source. No welding is possible until the machine is allowed to cool and the Thermostatic Protection Light goes out.
