INTRODUCTION
-- 3 9 --bt07d19e
INTRODUCTION
Aristotig 160 and Aristotig 200 are two rectifiers designed using inverter technol-
ogy and are intended for TIG -- welding and welding using coated electrodes. The
machines are also called LTN 160 and LTN 200. Inverter technology contributes to-
wards low power consumption, a low weight and compact dimensions.
The advanced electronics with microprocessor control provides, amongst others,
quick regulation and top class welding characteristics.
Arisotig is equipped with ARC PLUS, a new type of control that with MMA welding
provides a more intensive, more concentrated and smoother arc. It reacts quicker
after a short circuiting drop transfer, which reduces the risk of the electrode sticking.
In addition, the machine is equipped with Arc Force, which means that the power
source’s dynamics can be adjusted, softer or harder depending on the type of elec -
trode and the welder’s preference.
ARC PLUS -- because of the regulator’s good characteristics it is only necessary to
change the Arc Force settings in exceptional circumstances.
When drop welding using stainless steel electrodes a special feature on the machine
can b e activated to facilita t e welding.
Aristotig 160/200 is available in two designs, one with a central connector and one
with an OKC connector for a TIG torch.
Aristotig 160/200 is supplied complete witha5metremainscable,5metrereturn
cable, 1 cable coupling, gas hose and hose clips. Machines with a central connector
are also fitted with a safety bar to protect the connectors from impact.
As an accessory there is a loop handle to fit on the machines which acts as a cable
reel as well protecting the control panel. There are also two carriages available for
transportation with a gas cylinder.
WARNING
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING.
ARC WELDING AND CUTTING CAN BE INJURIOUS TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. TAKE PRECAU-
TIONS WHEN WELDING. ASK FOR YOUR EMPLOYER’S SAFETY PRACTICES WHICH SHOULD BE
BASED ON MANUFACTURERS’ HAZARD DATA.

Aristotig 160/200 are equipped with mains voltage compensation, which means that
a ¦10 % variation in the mains voltage only results in a ¦0,2 % variation in the
welding current.
To reduce the voltage drop when using a long cable it can be advisable to select a
heavier cable cross section.
1. Place the equipment in a suitable place and make sure the r ectifier is not cov -
ered or set--up so that cooling is prevented.
2. Make sure the machine is connected to the correct mains voltage.

Line 7
Welding data memory OO1O2O1--2O A
Four different sets of welding data settings can be stored in the ma-
chine’s memory, two for TIG mode and two for MMA mode.
The following can be stored:
TIG: selected option from line 3 (continuous or pulsed current) All set-
tings on line 5.
MMA: Welding current
The welding data m emory is changed using the green arrow
keys.
Changes can also be made by quickly pressing the torch trigger, re-
gardless of whether you are welding or not.
To activate the possibility of jumping between programs both the
green arrow keys should be pressed simultaneously.
When the jump function is activated an indicating lamp comes on.
O1--2 If the 4 step trigger action is selected, quickly pressing the
trigger will switch the welding data. T h e same thing applies in 2 step
trigger action if you are not welding. During welding, using 2 step
trigger action, you release the trigger momentarily to change the
welding data.
Aristotig has battery backup so that the settings remain in memory
even when the machine is switched of or disconnected from the
power supply.
OPERATION
-- 4 5 --bt07d19e
OTHER FUNCTIONS
Drop welding (MMA)
Drop welding can be used when welding with stainless steel electrodes.
The technique involves the arc switching between igniting and extinguishing to allow
better control over the heat transfer. T he electrode only needs to be lifted a little for
the arc to be extinguished.
The m achine should be in the current setting mode when the function is activated.
Press both of the green arrow keys simultaneously for 2 seconds and the
symbol ”--_--” indicates that the function is activated.
This mode remains active even if the machine is switched off. The machine is reset
for normal welding again using the same method and ”------” is then indicated on the
display.
Arc Force (MMA)
The Arc Force setting changes the machine’s dynamic. A softer or harder arc can be
obtained. The machine should be in the current setting mode when activating the
function by pressing the two red arrow keys simultaneously for 2 seconds. The
display shows a value between 0 and 100. The higher the value the harder the arc.
Press one of the buttons and the power source returns to the normal operating
mode. The set Arc Force value remains. Different Arc Force settings can be stored in
the machine’s two sets of welding data m emory.
Pulse time/Pause time (TIG)
Normally the setting range for these parameters is 0.02--5.0 s. Through pressing the
two green arrows simultaneously for 2 seconds, times down to 0.001 s can be set.
This extended setting range remains until the machine is reset using the same
method. When activating the function the machine should be in the mode for setting
the pulse time/pause time. Note that times below 0.250 s are displayed without the
decimal point.
Remote control
Using the remote control socket on the machine the current can be remotely regu-
lated in TIG and MMA modes.
If pulsed current is selected in TIG mode, it is the pulsed current that is remotely
regulated. The set value from the remote control is shown on the display by stepping
to the position where the current should be set when not using the remote control.
Switching to the remote mode takes place automatically when the unit is connected.
This is confirmed by the LED coming on. O A
(NOTE! the pins L and M in the remote control’s connecting plug must be strapped
for automatic connection to take place).
The following remote controls can be connected:
PHA1, PHA2, PHB1, PHB2, PHC2 and F S002.
NOTE!
When using FS002 the slope--up and slope--down times should be set to 0 sec.
MAINTENANCE

bt07d19e
MAINTENANCE
Generally, Aristotig 160/200 do not require any maintenance. Normally, it is sufficient
to blow out the machine using clean, compressed air annually, and the dust filter
should be cleaned regularly.
If the machine is set up in dusty or dirty environments the machine and dust filter
should be cleaned more often.
Dismantling the filter.
bt07d109
Error Codes
Aristotig 160/200 is equipped with integrated error monitoring. If an error should
occur then an error code is displayed. The error codes are as follows:
E01 Memory error, internal RAM
E02 Memory error, external RAM
E03 Memory error, EPROM
E04 Memory error, random test of battery backed up RAM
E05 Memory error, variable value outside limit in battery backed up RAM
E06 Low battery voltage
E10 Incorrect supply voltage 20 V
E11 Incorrect supply voltage --15 V
E13 High temperature, thermal switch protection
E14 Current--servo error
The error indications are shown if the machine is not able to maintain the set
current, for example, while MMA welding with an extremely long arc. T he
indication should disappear after welding for a few seconds under normal
conditions.
If any of these error codes are displayed permanently or recur frequently the ma-
chine should be taken to an authorized ESAB service workshop to be rectified.
NOTE! All warranty undertakings given by the supplier cease to apply if the
customer attempts to rectify any faults on the machine during the warranty
period.
