Amphenol receptacle on the welding power source front panel (see OM-286). Insert 17-pin Amphenol plug from the interconnecting cable fully into the receptacle and rotate collar clockwise. 2-2. RPC-IP RECEPTACLE (Figure 2-1) The interconnecting cable from the welding power source connects to a 17-pin Amphenol receptacle on the remote control.
Mounting Screws (5) Front Panel Figure 2-2. Dip Switch Positions And Locations SECTION 3 – OPERATOR CONTROLS 3-1. MODE SELECTOR SWITCH (Figure 3-1) The Mode Selector switch allows selection of CC (constant current), CV (constant voltage), or pulsed out- put from the welding power source. The CC position provides a constant current output spe- cifically designed for Shielded Metal Arc (SMAW) and Gas Tungsten Arc (GTAW) Welding processes.
