Page 32: General description, Warning
The Pipeliner® 200D has a current range of 40-300 DC
amps with output ratings as follows:
RATED OUTPUT
DUTY CYCLE
200A @ 28V
60%
200A @ 40V
60%
The unit is also capable of providing 1.80 kw of 120V
DC auxiliary power at 35% duty cycle maximum.
This unit uses the PERKINS 104.22 Industrial water
cooled diesel engine.
DESIGN SUMMARY
Control Panel
Both the engine and the welder controls are located on
one recessed panel at the exciter end of the machine.
The welder controls consist of a five step “Current
Range Selector” switch and a “Fine Current
Adjustment” rheostat. The welder is equipped with a
“Start” button,”Glow Plug” button, “Ignition” switch,
“Idler” control switch, hour meter, “Engine Protection”
indicator light, “Remote / Local Switch and Receptacle
a battery charging ammeter, an oil pressure gauge and
engine coolant temperature gauge.
The control panel also contains a three prong ground-
ing type receptacle for auxiliary power.
Welding Generator
The Pipeliner® 200D uses the old style, round, all cop-
per FJW Generator frame which provides the customer
with the original “Classic” pipe welding arc.
Engine Idler
The Pipeliner® 200D is equipped with an electronic
automatic engine idler. It automatically increases and
decreases engine speed when starting and stopping
welding or using auxiliary power. A built-in time delay
permits changing electrodes before the engine slows
to its low idle speed. The “Idler” control switch on the
panel locks the idler in the full speed position when
desired.
Auxiliary Power
1.80 kw of nominal 120V DC auxiliary power at 35%
duty cycle maximum. Output voltage is maintained
within ± 10% at all loads up to rated capacity.
Welder Enclosure
The complete welder is rubber mounted on a rugged
steel “C” channel base.
The output terminals are placed at the side of the
machine so that they are protected by the door. The
output terminals are labeled (+) and (-).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not attempt to use this equipment until you
have thoroughly read the engine manufacturerʼs
manual supplied with your welder. It includes
important safety precautions, detailed engine
starting, operating and maintenance instructions,
and parts lists.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Do not touch electrically live parts or
electrode with skin or wet clothing.
• Insulate yourself from work and
ground
• Always wear dry insulating gloves.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENGINE EXHAUST can kill.
• Use in open, well ventilated areas or
vent exhaust outside.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
MOVING PARTS can injure.
• Do not operate with doors open or
guards off.
• Stop engine before servicing.
• Keep away from moving parts.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
See additional warning information at
front of this operatorʼs manual.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operate the welder with the doors closed. Leaving
the doors open changes the designed air flow and
can cause overheating.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Pipeliner® 200D is a heavy duty engine driven DC
arc welding power source capable of providing DC
constant current output for stick welding and DC TIG
welding. With the addition of the optional Wire Feed
Module the Pipeliner® 200D will provide constant volt-
age output for running the LN-25 wire feeder.
The optional Remote Control Kit provides a remote
control rheostat for remote fine current and open circuit
voltage adjustment.
The Pipeliner® 200D has Diesel Engine Protection. In
the event of sudden low oil pressure or high coolant
temperature, the engine immediately shuts down.
