GTAW
This weld mode is a constant current (CC) mode featuring
continuous control from 10 –425 amps.
It is intended for the GTAW TIG welding processes.
Hot Start - Hot start regulates the arc initiation current. A setting
of +10 results in the most positive arc initiation.
Arc Control – This control is not used in the GTAW mode.
Voltage Display – This display will display three dashed lines
when the machine is in the idle state. This indicates that voltage is
not settable in this weld mode. While output is enabled, the actual
welding voltage will be displayed. After welding, the meter holds
the actual voltage value for 5 seconds. Output adjustment while in
the "hold" period results in the "prior to operation" characteristics
stated above. The displays blink indicating that the machine is in
the "Hold" period.
Amperage Display – This display will display the pre-set welding
current when the machine is in the idle state. After welding, the
meter holds the actual amperage value for 5 seconds. Output
adjustment while in the "hold" period results in the "prior to
operation" characteristics stated above. The displays blink
indicating that the machine is in the "Hold" period.

Output Control Local/Remote – When the control is set to local (no
remote potentiometer/control plugged into the 12-pin or 14-pin
connectors), the output is controlled through the Output Control
dial on the front of the Red-D-Arc FX360LX. Set this switch to
'Remote' when an external potentiometer/control is connected.
o
When a remote potentiometer is connected and the
Local/Remote toggle is set to 'Remote', the output control on
the FX360LX and the remote act as a master/slave config-
uration. Use the output control dial on the FX360LX to set the
maximum welding current. The remote will control output
from minimum to the pre-set maximum.
• When a CrossLinc™ equipped feeder like the LN-25X is used,
output will then be controlled at the CrossLinc remote through
the full range of the voltage allowable. The output control dial
on the Flextec 350X will no longer set the maximum
amperage.
Output Control Dial
o
When the Local/Remote is set to Local, this dial sets the
welding amperage.
o
When the Local/Remote is set to Remote, this dial sets the
maximum welding amperage. The remote potentiometer than
controls the amperage from minimum to this pre-set
maximum.
