SECTION 4 − SPECIFICATIONS 4-1. Description This unit has two CC/CV modules with separate weld controls for applications where two welding arcs are needed. A Welder Selector switch controls whether one or both sets of weld output terminals are active (see Section 6-2). When the unit is operated in the dual operator mode, each welder has CC and CV weld output available for Stick, TIG, and MIG welding.
4-6. Duty Cycle And Overheating Duty Cycle is percentage of 10 min- utes that unit can weld at rated load without overheating. NOTICE − Exceeding duty cycle Dual Operator Mode − 40% Duty Cycle At 275 Amperes From Each Side can damage unit and void warranty.
