• The machine also comes with Synergic settings, VRD (Voltage Reduction Device) for enhanced safety.
• Support for cellulose electrodes like E7018 and E6010, known for their reliability in demanding environments.
• An intuitive LCD screen allows for precise adjustments, offering clear visibility of settings such as amperage, arc force, and pulse parameters.
• The FireArc 200 PLUS operates on a single-phase 230V power supply and utilizes IGBT technology for efficient and reliable performance.
• It also features a 35-50 speed socket for fast connections, enhancing productivity.

The machine’s compact and robust design, along with safety features like thermal overload protection, ensures it is a cost-effective and reliable choice for a range of applications, including vehicle maintenance, DIY projects, farm repairs, and window or door installations.

Useful functions

Lift TIG: This is a TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding method where the arc is initiated by touching the electrode to the material and then lifting it away. This reduces potential damage, such as electrode contamination, during the process.

Arc force: Arc force control allows the welder to create a more stable and smoother arc. It is particularly important in short arc welding, preventing the electrode from sticking and ensuring better weld quality.

Hot Start: The hot start function momentarily increases the current at the beginning of the weld, making it easier to strike the arc. This is particularly useful on materials that are difficult to initiate, such as rusty or painted surfaces. The hot start helps prevent the electrode from sticking, resulting in a smoother and faster welding process.

Synergic settings: Synergic settings automatically optimize the machine's parameters based on the selected welding method. The user only needs to input a few basic settings, and the machine fine-tunes itself for the best results.

VRD function (Voltage Reduction Device): This is a safety feature that reduces the open-circuit voltage when the welding machine is not actively in use. It minimizes the risk of electric shock, especially in wet or hazardous environments.

Pulsed function: The pulsed function involves rapid changes in the welding current, allowing for deeper penetration and reinforcement of the weld bead. It also reduces heat input to the material, protecting thinner metals from distortion.

Accessories

Included in the package are essential accessories:

• 1.8m 16mm² cable with a 200A electrode holder 35-50
• Welding mask and steel brush with a hammer.

Whether you're working on vehicle maintenance, home repairs, or agricultural tasks, the FireArc 200 PLUS is a reliable and cost-effective solution. It's perfect for maintenance and repair tasks, DIY projects, and professional work on doors, windows, farms, and ranches.

Specifications

Important Information

The above factory current ranges are theoretical minimum and maximum values. The current range displayed and adjustable on the machine's control panel may differ from these in order to ensure better arc stability and safe operation.

Important note on electrical connection

Welding machines generate a significant inrush current at start-up, which can greatly exceed the rated operating current. This current surge may cause a Type B circuit breaker to trip unexpectedly. We recommend operating the machine through at least:

• a Type C circuit breaker (trips at 4–6 times the rated current), or
• a Type D circuit breaker (trips at 10–20 times the rated current) — particularly for higher-powered machines or where longer cable runs are involved.
