preset arc output voltage (CV-WIRE mode) or preset arc current
(CC-STICK, DOWNHILL PIPE, ARC GOUGING 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%.
The meters will display all dashes for preset when ArcLink
mode is selected.
