RT2000 InstructionsIssue2 January 2004RT2000 Instructions for use Page 116/05/2014Important Information1.4 Advanced FeaturesLatest generation IGBT technology.TheRT2000 uses the latest generation IGBT powermodules, these have lower running losses therebyincreasing the duty cycle of the machine andincreasing reliability.Initial soft-start operation.The output power is inhibited until the reservoircapacitors have charged up to full value. Thisreduces the stress on the internal components atthe crucial switch on period.Powerful electronic arc ignitionThe advanced arc ignition system contains nomoving parts or spark gap providing long termreliability even in humid conditions.This Product meets the conformityrequirements for CE marking1.3 Technical DataRated supply voltage 230v 10 single phase115/230v 10% single phasePower consumption 5.1 KVASupply current (230v) 21ASupply current (115v) 42AMains input fuse (230v) 20A slow blow or type C MCB.Mains input fuse (115v) 40A slow blow or type C MCBMains cable (230v) 3 x 2.5mm2 flexible cableMains cable (115/DV) 3 x 6mm2 flexible cableDegree of protection IP 2IInsulation class FWeight 17.5kgOverall dimensions 325H 152W 415L(excluding handle)Current range TIG 5 to 200A infinitely variableCurrent range MMA 5 to 150A infinitely variableElectrode size 1.6 - 4mmDuty cycle 100% @ 25ºBefore using the RT2000 Inverter based weldingmachine, all personnel authorised to use, repair orservice it should read this manual carefully,especially the section on safety.Further information is available in publicationHSG118 'Electric safety in arc welding', whichmay be obtained from the Health & SafetyExecutive.Please contact your distributor should you notunderstand any of the information within thisdocument.1.1 DescriptionThe RT2000 is a 200 amp (150 amp on MMA)constant current TIG welding machine based onIGBT technology. The inverter drive circuitryoperates above the audio frequency spectrummaking the RT2000 virtually silent in operation.The high operational frequency also means that theRT2000 is able to respond quickly to changing arcdynamics, making for a very smooth stable arc.As well as TIG welding the RT2000 is capable ofMMA welding with all types of electrodes within thecurrent rating of the machine, normally up to 4mm.The RT2000 is available in two versions, a 230vonly, and a 115/230v auto switching Dual Voltageversion.1.2 Content1 Description and Technical data2 General precautions3 Installation4 Operation and Use5 Fault finding and maintenance6 Parts breakdown7 Circuit diagram8 Distributor network andguarantee
