The ESAB Rogue ET 201iP PRO is an inverter-based power source designed for MMA (Stick) and TIG welding. This manual provides essential information for safe installation, operation, and maintenance. Always ensure the unit is installed by a professional and that all safety precautions are followed.
Safety
Warning: Arc welding and cutting can be injurious. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses, flame-proof clothing, and safety gloves. Ensure the workplace is free from drafts and unauthorized persons. Be aware of electric shock hazards, electromagnetic fields (EMF), fumes, gases, and arc rays.
Installation
Location: Position the power source with at least 200 mm (8 in.) of clearance for cooling air inlets and outlets. Secure the equipment, especially on uneven or sloping ground.
Mains supply: The unit automatically adjusts to the supplied input voltage (120V or 230V). Ensure it is protected by the correct fuse rating and that a protective ground connection is made.
Operation
Connections: The front panel features positive and negative welding terminals. For TIG welding, the negative terminal is used for the torch. For MMA welding, polarity depends on the electrode type.
Welding Modes: The unit supports MMA/Stick, MMA pulse, TIG/GTAW, TIG pulse, and HF TIG welding. Use the Process selection button to switch between modes and the Control knob to adjust parameters.
Trigger Modes: Supports 2-stroke (2T) and 4-stroke (4T) modes for TIG welding.
Maintenance
Routine Maintenance: Regularly check that the product and cables are undamaged. Clean weld terminals and check cables every 3 months. Clean the inside of the equipment with dry compressed air every 6 months, depending on the environment.
Cleaning: Always disconnect the power source before cleaning. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove accumulated dirt and metal filings.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, check the following before contacting a service technician:
- No arc: Check power switch, display, cable connections, and fuses.
- Thermal protection trips: Check duty cycle, ensure air inlets/outlets are not clogged, and clean the machine.
- Welding problems: Verify the correct welding process is selected, cables are connected properly, and the return clamp has good contact.
