OPERATION
SQUARE WAVE TIG 255
A. AC/DC INDICATOR: This symbol represents the
output polarity of the 255 . . . either AC or DC. AC
is shown in Figure B.2.a; DC is shown in Figure
B.2.b.
B. VOLTMETER: This meter displays open circuit
voltage as well as welding voltage, as measured
on the output studs of the Square Wave TIG 255.
C. AMMETER: The ammeter can display preset
current (for setting the welding current before
welding) and actual welding current (the value of
the welding current during a weld).
D. MOMENTARY DISPLAY: This area is blank under
most conditions; see Figure B.2.a. Different val-
ues may be displayed here as certain keypad
keys are pressed. See Figure B.2.b; the TIG
Pulser is being adjusted, so the Pulse Frequency,
2.0 Hz, is being displayed. Information in the
Momentary Display lasts for five seconds after a
key is pressed. Read the complete Operating
Instructions section for more information on the
values that appear in the Momentary Display.
E. BAR GRAPH DISPLAY: This area provides a
graphical display of values shown on the Ammeter
CASE FRONT CONTROLS
Refer to Figure B.3 for the location of the following
controls:
1.
POWER SWITCH: Controls the input power to the
Square Wave TIG 255.
2.
OVER TEMPERATURE LIGHT: A yellow light
which only lights when an over temperature
situation occurs. See the Maintenance Section for
more information on the thermostatic protection.
3.
POLARITY SWITCH: Selects DC+, AC or DC-
welding polarity. DO NOT SWITCH UNDER
LOAD.
7. CONTROL PANEL: The display is divided into five
sections. See Figures B.2.a and B.2.b.

and on the Momentary Display. When the Momentary
Display is blank (as in Figure B.2.a), the Bar Graph
Display represents values shown on the ammeter.
When a low value is shown on the ammeter, only a
few “bars” will appear on the left hand side of the Bar
Graph Display. As the ammeter value increases, more
and more “bars” will appear. Whenever a value
increases, more and more “bars” will appear.
Whenever a value appears in the Momentary Display,
the Bar Graph Display will represent the Momentary
Display value, not the ammeter value.
