Is there any way to tell if my 185 micro is dual voltage?

[Justin]

I just got a powertig 185 micro. on the welder i only see markings for 220-240 volts. how can i be sure the thing will work on 110. i want to be sure before i plug it in and damage something. i have tried e mailing everlast support but cant seem to get a reply.

Just a thought, but check the owners manual.

[Justin]

Yea I did check the owners manual but it's still un clear. I bought the unit from amazon and it was advertised as dual voltage but I don't see any markings on the welder to indicate 110. I'm not sure if I was shipped the correct unit.

The online manual covers the connection for 120V

Black is hot, white is neutral. Don't mix it up. Check the outlet you are connecting to also.... sometimes they are wired incorrectly

I can understand why you don't want to just wire it up, plug it in and turn it on. Fundamental question to ask is, "Did you order a dual voltage PT185 micro?". They don't come dual voltage unless you order it that way or you bought one that explicitly stated it was dual voltage.

On some models even though the main label only lists the 220-240 specs, right under where the power cord comes out there is: 1x 110/220V. You might look to see if that is on yours. I would think there has to be a way to tell from the outside. Have you called tech support?

[Justin]

I know how to wire it that is not what I am concerned about. Yes I ordered one that is dual voltage. Where the cord comes out it has 220-240 printed on it but nothing stating 110. Is there any other way to be sure I received the correct model? I tried e mailing tech support but have not gotten a response since Friday. I would call but I'm working odd hours.

i got mine from amazon and mine is dual voltage....well i know it works on 120v but havent tried 220 yet since i dont have an 220 outlet!

OK, mine is a field test model so it may be different than yours (great welder by the way). Where the cord comes out of the back of the welder, mine states:

1 x 110v/220v

[blacksmith]

I noted in the owners manual "220V, (120/240V OPT)" so looks like there are two models and dual is optional. He is right to question what he received.

What does your welder say on the back where the power cord comes out of the case?

[Justin]

It says 220-240 where the power cord goes in. No where on the welder says 110. That is why I am unsure.

I'm sorry. I should have been more specific. I was asking hpipro4 as he has a dual voltage and his welder is most likely more current than mine.

[Justin]

well i called customer support. they say if it says 220 240 its 220 only and the duals say 110-220 on them

[zoama]

well i called customer support. they say if it says 220 240 its 220 only and the duals say 110-220 on them

Will amazon replace it with a dual voltage model since that's what you payed for ?

[Rambozo]

That's good to know. I guess you have to complain to Amazon to get it swapped for a dual voltage model. Please let everyone know how it comes out.
