WELDING CONTROLS

1. OUTPUT CONTROL-
preset the output voltage or current as displayed on the
digital meters for the five welding modes. When in the
CC-STICK, 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 DOWNHILL PIPE mode and when a
remote control is connected to the 6-Pin or 14-Pin
connector, the output control is used to set the max-
imum 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 40-200 amps, rather than the
full 40-300 amps. Any current range that is less than
the full range provides finer current resolution for
more fine tuning of the output.
In the CV-WIRE mode, if the feeder being used has a volt-
age control when the wire feeder control cable is connect-
ed to the 14-Pin Connector, the auto-sensing circuit auto-
matically makes OUTPUT CONTROL inactive and the
wire feeder voltage control active. Otherwise, the OUT-
PUT CONTROL is used to preset the voltage

When in the TOUCH START TIG mode and when an
Amptrol is connected to the 6-Pin Connector, the OUT-
PUT dial is used to set the maximum current range of the
CURRENT CONTROL of the Amptrol.
2. DIGITAL OUTPUT METERS-
allow the output 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%.
