Lincoln Electric V200-T manual Output Connection for Stick Welding

A-4 INSTALLATION A-4

OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

Refer to Figure A.2 for the location of the output terminals. A quick-disconnect system using Twist-MateTMcable plugs is used for the welding cable connections. The electrode and work cables will require these plugs. Refer to the relevant instructions following for more information on connecting the machine for either welding process.

OUTPUT CONNECTION FOR STICK WELDING

First determine the proper electrode polarity for the elec- trode to be used. Consult the electrode data for this infor- mation. Then connect the output cables to the output termi- nals corresponding to this polarity. For instance, for DC(+) welding, connect the electrode cable (which is connected to the electrode holder) to the “+” output terminal and the work cable (which is connected to the work clamp) to the “-” out- put terminal. Insert the connector with the key lining up with the keyway, and rotate approximately 1/4 turn clockwise; until the connection is snug. Do not over tighten.

OUTPUT AND GAS CONNECTION FOR TIG WELDING

This unit does not include a TIG torch, but one may be pur- chased separately and used with these units to do TIG (GTAW) welding. The Lincoln LA-9 (K859-1 or K859-5 only with no gas valve) or LA-17 and LA-17V (K860-1 or K860-5 without gas valve and K860-9 or K860-13 with gas valve) are recommended for use with these machines for this pur- pose; however, any similar TIG torch can be used. To attach the Twist-Mate Plug to a Lincoln Torch, slide the rubber boot onto the torch cable (enlarge the boot opening if necessary), screw the fitting on the torch cable into the brass connector snugly and slide the boot back over the brass connector.

TIG ADAPTER STRAIN RELIEF BOOT

Turn the Power Switch “OFF”. Connect the torch cable quick connect plug into the DC- Output Receptacle on the front of the welder and turn it clockwise until it is tight. This is a quick connect terminal and also provides the gas connection for the shielding gas to the torch.

WARNING

To avoid receiving a high frequency shock, keep the TIG torch and cables in good condition.

__________________________________________

Next, connect the work cable (which is connected to the work clamp) to the “+” output terminal in the same way.

The machine can easily be switched between stick and TIG welding at any time by simply swapping the stick (electrode) and TIG (torch) cables, and reversing the connection polari- ty if required.
