WELDING CONTROLS
(Figure B.1)
1. OUTPUT CONTROL-
The OUTPUT dial is used to preset the output
voltage or current as displayed on the digital meters for the five weld-
ing modes. When in the ARC GOUGING or CV-WIRE modes and when
a remote control is connected to the 6-Pin or 14-Pin Connector, the
auto-sensing circuit automatically switches the OUTPUT CONTROL
from control at the welder to the remote control.
When in the CC-STICK or DOWNHILL PIPE mode and when a remote
control is connected to the 6-Pin or 14-Pin connector, the output con-
trol is used to set the maximum current range of the remote.
EXAMPLE: When the OUTPUT CONTROL on the welder is set to 200
amps the current range on the remote control will be Min.-200 amps,
rather than the full Min.-Max. amps. Any current range that is less
than the full range provides finer current resolution for more fine tun-
ing of the output.
In the CV-WIRE mode, if the feeder being used has a voltage control
when the wire feeder control cable is connected to the 14-Pin
Connector, the auto-sensing circuit automatically makes OUTPUT
CONTROL inactive and the wire feeder voltage control active.
Otherwise, the OUTPUT CONTROL is used to preset the voltage.
When in the TOUCH START TIG mode and when an Amptrol is con-
nected to the 6-Pin Connector, the OUTPUT dial is used to set the
maximum current range of the CURRENT CONTROL of the Amptrol.

2. DIGITAL OUTPUT METERS-
voltage (CV-WIRE mode) or current (CC-STICK,DOWN HILL PIPE and
TIG modes) to be set prior to welding using the OUTPUT control dial.
During welding, the meter display the actual output voltage (VOLTS)
and current (AMPS). A memory feature holds the display of both
meters on for seven seconds after welding is stopped. This allows
the operator to read the actual current and voltage just prior to when
welding was ceased.
While the display is being held the left-most decimal point in each
display will be flashing. The accuracy of the meters is +/- 3%.
