WELDING IN STICK MODE
1. Put the electrode holder and cable quick connect
plug into the proper receptacle for the electrode
polarity desired. Turn clockwise until tight. Connect
the work clamp to the other receptacle and the work
piece.
2. Set the Welding Process Switch to “STICK”.
3. Set the Local/Remote Switch to “Local”.
4. Place the electrode in the electrode holder.
5. Turn the Power Switch to the proper input voltage
setting to turn on the welder.
6. Adjust the Current Control to the desired amps.
7. Strike an arc and weld.
NOTE: When the Welding Process Switch is set to
“STICK” the output is always on when the power
switch is on. A remote control has no effect on the
welding current and the gas flow and high frequency
TIG arc starter are disabled.
INVERTEC V200-T
In Stick Mode the output terminal and
electrode will be electrically hot when-
ever the power switch is turned on.

Tungsten electrodes are classified as follows by the American Welding Society (AWS):
Pure..................................EWP........green
+1% Thoria.......................EWTh-1...yellow
+2% Thoria.......................EWTh-2...red
+2% Ceria.........................EWCe-2...orange
+1.5% Lanthana ...............EWLa-1...black
+0.15 to 0.40% Zirconia....EWZr.......brown
Ceriated Tungsten is now widely accepted as a substitute for 2% Thoriated Tungsten in AC and DC applications.
