The Viper 2000 uses state of the art electronics and microprocessortechnology. It is rugged and reliable and is built to withstand typical site conditions. The Viper 2000draws power from the welding cables and requires no auxiliary supply cables.Standard features:• Solid state arc ignition• Contactor control of current• Gas flow solenoid• Torch switch latching• Gas flow-meter option• Reverse polarity protectionSite the Viper 2000 on a clean dry base preferably above ground level. Ensure that the ventilation lou-vers on the side of the unit are not obstructed. Protect the machine against heavy rain.Frequently inspect the interconnection cables and welding torch and repair any defects immedi-ately.3.1 - Connection to Power SourceThe DC TIG process uses negative torch polarity with the work piece connected to the positive outletof the power source.
