3 INSTALLATION
Only qualified personnel should perform this installation. Only personnel that have read and understood this Manual should install and operate this equipment. Machine must only be plugged into a receptacle which is grounded in accordance with valid regulations. Note The power switch should be in the OFF position when installing work cable and electrode cable and when connecting power cord to input power.
Select a suitable location The UWI 203 TP inverter welder has an IP23S rating. Locate the welder in a dry location where there is free circulation of clean air into the louvers in the back and out the front of the unit.
Ensure minimum 50cm free space on all sides. If free flow of air is hindered the machine will overheat.
A location that minimizes the amount of smoke and dirt drawn into the louvers reduces the chance of dirt accumulation that can block air passages and cause overheating.
Avoid tilting The machine must be placed on a secure, level surface, maximum 15º out of horizontal.

4 FRONT AND BACK PANEL
Description
1. Power on warning. Green light when the machine is connected and switched on.
2. Thermal protection activated. Yellow light indicates that the protection thermostat has cut the output. Do not switch the machine off. The fan will be running and the thermostat resets automatically when the machine has cooled down sufficiently. The light will darken when the machine is live again.
3. Selection of welding process: Up: SMAW (MMA) welding with stick electrodes Down: GTAW (TIG) welding.
4. Welding current adjustment potmeter. Rotate knob clockwise to increase amperage, minimum to 200 Ampere
5. Arc force increases the short circuit amperage providing a crisper arc, allowing the welder to use very short arc without sticking the electrode in the melt pool. It is useful when welding with stick electrodes at low amperages but gives more spatter. Set control to 0 (soft arc) for normal electrode welding and TIG welding.
6. Active VRD signal. When lit this shows that the Voltage Reducing Device is active, reducing the voltage across the welding sockets. This will happen within 2 seconds after the welding arc is broken to protect the welder from electric chock. Full arc striking voltage will automatically be re-established when the welding circuit is reestablished by touching the electrode to the work-piece.
7. On/Off switch (Back panel)
8. Primary cable, 4 core 2,5mm², 3m long.
9. Missing phase warning. Warning light indicates that one of the three phases in the power supply to the machine has fallen out.

5 WELDING
MMA (SMAW stick electrode) welding
Select MMA welding (selector switch up). Connect ground (return) cable with good contact to the work piece. Select polarity and amperage as recommended for the electrode and start arc as follows: Drag electrode across work piece like striking a Match and lift electrode slightly after touching work. If arc goes out electrode was lifted to high. If electrode sticks to work piece, use a quick twist to free it.
1 Electrode 2 Workpiece 3 Arc
Hot start The machine has automatic Hot Start for stick electrode welding. This makes arc striking easier and reduces the possibility of electrode sticking
TIG (GTAW) welding
Select TIG process (selector switch down) and connect TIG torch to negative (-) terminal on the machine. The torch should preferably have gas valve on the handle. Connect ground (return) cable with good contact to the work piece.
When the TIG process is selected normal open-circuit voltage is not present before tungsten electrode touches and lifts from work piece. Only a low sensing voltage is present between electrode and work piece. The solid-state output contactor does not energize until after electrode is touching work piece. This allows the electrode to touch the work piece without overheating, sticking, getting contaminated or contaminate the work piece.
Start the arc as follows: Turn gas on. Touch tungsten electrode to workpiece at weld start point. Hold electrode to workpiece for 1-2 seconds, and slowly lift electrode. The arc is formed when the electrode is lifted.

11 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Arc Welding Hazards
The safety information given below is only a summary of the more complete safety information found in the Safety Standards listed in Section 1-5. Read and follow all Safety Standards. Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, and repair this unit. During operation, keep everybody, especially children, away.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. The electrode and work circuit is electrically live whenever the output is on. The input power circuit and machine internal circuits are also live when power is on. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the wire, wire reel, drive roll housing, and all metal parts touching the welding wire are electrically live. Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded equipment is a hazard.
Do not touch live electrical parts. Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats or covers big enough to prevent any physical contact with the work or ground. Do not use AC output in damp areas, if movement is confined, or if there is a danger of falling. Use AC output ONLY if required for the welding process. If AC output is required, use remote output control if present on unit.
Disconnect input power before installing or servicing this equipment. Always verify the supply ground – check and be sure that input power cord ground wire is properly connected to ground terminal in the cord plug and that the plug is connected to a properly grounded receptacle outlet. When making input connections, attach proper grounding conductor first – double-check connections. Frequently inspect input power cord for damage or bare wiring -replace cord immediately if damaged – bare wiring can kill. Turn off all equipment when not in use.
Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or poorly spliced cables. Do not drape cables over your body. If earth grounding of the work-piece is required, ground it directly with a separate cable. Do not touch electrode if you are in contact with the work, ground, or another electrode from a different machine.
Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damaged parts at once. Maintain unit according to manual. Wear a safety harness if working above floor level. Keep all panels and covers securely in place. Clamp work cable with good metal-to-metal contact to work-piece or worktable as near the weld as practical. Insulate work clamp when not connected to work-piece to prevent contact with any metal object. Do not connect more than one electrode or work cable to any single weld output terminal.
SIGNIFICANT DC VOLTAGE exists after removal of input power on inverters. Turn off inverter, disconnect input power, and discharge input capacitors before touching any parts.

Page 16 of 24
FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous. Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes. If inside, ventilate the area and/or use exhaust at the arc to remove welding fumes and gases. If ventilation is poor, use an approved air-supplied respirator. Read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and the manufacturer’s instructions for metals, consumables, coatings, cleaners, and degreasers. Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watchperson nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing air is safe. Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations.The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form highly toxic and irritating gases. Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld area, the area is well ventilated, and if necessary, while wearing an airsupplied respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements can give off toxic fumes if welded.
ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin. Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the weld. Wear a welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter to protect your face and eyes when welding or watching. Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet. Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash and glare; warn others not to watch the arc. Wear protective clothing made from durable, flameresistant material (leather and wool) and foot protection.
WELDING can cause fire or explosion. Welding on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes, can cause them to blow up. Sparks can fly off from the welding arc. The flying sparks, hot workpiece, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire. Check and be sure the area is safe before doing any welding. Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal. Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material. Remove all flammables within 35 ft (10.7 m) of the welding arc. If this is not possible, tightly cover them with approved covers. Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Be aware that welding on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition can cause fire on the hidden side. Do not weld on closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes, unless they are properly prepared Connect work cable to the work as close to the welding area as practical to prevent welding current from travelling long, possibly unknown paths and causing electric shock and fire hazards. Do not use welder to thaw frozen pipes. Remove stick electrode from holder or cut off welding wire at contact tip when not in use. Wear oil-free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuff-less trousers, high shoes, and a cap. Remove any combustibles, such as a butane lighter or matches, from your person before doing any welding.
FLYING METAL can injure eyes. Welding, chipping, wire brushing, and grinding cause sparks and flying metal. As welds cool, they can throw off slag. Wear approved safety glasses with side shields even under your welding helmet.
BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill. Shut off shielding gas supply when not in use. Always ventilate confined spaces or use approved airsupplied respirator.
Revision date: 23 09 2014
Page 17 of 24
HOT PARTS can cause severe burns. Do not touch hot parts bare handed. Allow cooling period before working on gun or torch.
MAGNETIC FIELDS can affect pacemakers. Pacemaker wearers keep away. Wearers should consult their doctor before going near arc welding, gouging, or spot welding operations.
NOISE can damage hearing. Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing. Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.
CYLINDERS can explode if damaged. Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under high pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode. Since gas cylinders are normally part of the welding process, be sure to treat them carefully. Protect compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechanical shocks, slag, open flames, sparks, and arcs. Install cylinders in an upright position by securing to a stationary support or cylinder rack to prevent falling or tipping. Keep cylinders away from any welding or other electrical circuits. Never drape a welding torch over a gas cylinder. Never allow a welding electrode to touch any cylinder. Never weld on a pressurized cylinder – explosion will result. Use only correct shielding gas cylinders, regulators, hoses, and fittings designed for the specific application; maintain them and associated parts in good condition. Turn face away from valve outlet when opening cylinder valve. Keep protective cap in place over valve except when cylinder is in use or connected for use. Read and follow instructions on compressed gas cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-1 listed in Safety Standards.
Additional precautions for installation, operation, and maintenance
Do not install or place unit on, over, or near combustible surfaces. Do not install unit near flammables. Do not overload building wiring – be sure power supply system is properly sized, rated, and protected to handle this unit.
FALLING UNIT can cause injury. Use lifting eye to lift unit only, NOT running gear, gas cylinders, or any other accessories. Use equipment of adequate capacity to lift and support unit. If using lift forks to move unit, be sure forks are long enough to extend beyond opposite side of unit.
OVERUSE can cause OVERHEATING Allow cooling period; follow rated duty cycle. Reduce current or reduce duty cycle before starting to weld again. Do not block or filter airflow to unit.
STATIC (ESD) can damage PC boards. Put on grounded wrist strap BEFORE handling boards or parts. Use proper static-proof bags and boxes to store, move, or ship PC boards.
MOVING PARTS can cause injury. Keep away from moving parts. Keep away from pinch points such as drive rolls.
WELDING WIRE can cause injury. Do not press gun trigger until instructed to do so. Do not point gun toward any part of the body, other people, or any metal when threading welding wire.

MOVING PARTS can cause injury. Keep away from moving parts such as fans. Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards closed and securely in place.
H.F. RADIATION can cause interference. High-frequency (H.F.) can interfere with radio navigation, safety services, computers, and communications equipment. Have only qualified persons familiar with electronic equipment perform this installation. The user is responsible for having a qualified electrician promptly correct any interference problem resulting from the installation. If notified about interference, stop using the equipment at once. Have the installation regularly checked and maintained. Keep high-frequency source doors and panels tightly shut, keep spark gaps at correct setting, and use grounding and shielding to minimize the possibility of interference.
ARC WELDING can cause interference. Electromagnetic energy can interfere with sensitive electronic equipment such as computers and computer-driven equipment such as robots. Be sure all equipment in the welding area is electromagnetically compatible. To reduce possible interference, keep weld cables as short as possible, close together, and down low, such as on the floor. Locate welding operation 100 meters from any sensitive electronic equipment. Be sure this welding machine is installed and grounded according to this manual. If interference still occurs, the user must take extra measures such as moving the welding machine, using shielded cables, using line filters, or shielding the work area.
EMF Information
Considerations about welding and the effects of low frequency electric and magnetic fields. Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electromagnetic fields. There has been and still is some concern about such fields. However, after examining more than 500 studies spanning 17 years of research, a special blue ribbon committee of the National Research Council concluded that: “The body of evidence, in the committee’s judgment, has not demonstrated that exposure to power-frequency electric and magnetic fields is a human-health hazard.” However, studies are still going forth and evidence continues to be examined. Until the final conclusions of the research are reached, you may wish to minimize your exposure to electromagnetic fields when welding or cutting.
To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following procedures: 1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them. 2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator. 3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body. 4. Keep welding power source and cables as far away from operator as practical. 5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as possible.
About Pacemakers: Pacemaker wearers consult your doctor first. If cleared by your doctor, then following the above procedures is recommended.
