Job Packet / WeldKing / PulseWave200

Packet use

Use this packet when the complaint involves no HF start, strange retained display state, AC TIG dead while DC TIG works, or low-current TIG instability.
Primary guide: PulseWave200 guide
Bench sheet: PulseWave200 bench test

Intake snapshot

Item	Record
Serial or shop tag
Exact complaint
DC TIG, AC TIG, or both affected
Torch polarity as found
Remote, pedal, or torch-switch path in use
Gas setup and flow state
Display behavior on power-up

Likely parts and accessories to stage

Item	Why stage it early
Known-good TIG torch and tungsten	removes common torch-side false faults
Known-good gas regulator and hose path	low-current and start complaints are often gas-path related
Remote or pedal only if the complaint involves it	avoids mixing remote faults into a base-machine test
Meter for low-current proving and state checks	needed when the complaint is subtle rather than total failure

Official parts-entry shortcuts

Use these after the diagnosis proves the fault follows the torch or remote branch rather than the AC or DC power stage.

First branch decisions

If you see...	Stay in this branch first
All 8s or frozen display	reset-state and display branch
No HF with otherwise basic setup incomplete	polarity, torch, and gas branch first
DC TIG good but AC TIG dead	AC-mode branch, not whole-machine failure
Low-current TIG unstable	gas path and control-state branch before power-stage suspicion

Bench workflow

Normalize torch polarity, gas path, and control mode.
Run PulseWave200 bench test.
Prove DC TIG first.
Prove AC TIG only after DC TIG is clearly healthy.

Release signoff

Check	Result
Normal display state on cold start	pass / fail
DC TIG baseline restored	pass / fail
AC TIG baseline restored if required	pass / fail
Gas path stable and no abnormal retained fault state	pass / fail
Covers, grounds, and lead routing restored	pass / fail
