Weld terminals are
through the remote control in Re-
mote Stick welding mode.

3 Adjust Control
Setup
For typical system connections refer to
Section 9-1.
Rotate Mode Switch to Remote Stick posi-
tion as shown.
The preset amperage is shown in the Right
Display with the Amps Indicator lit.
Operation
energized
The Adjust Control is used to set desired
preset amperage.
A remote control is required to turn on the
weld output.
.
If the remote control has an amperage
adjustment, the adjustment will func-
tion as a percentage of the preset am-
perage. When Configuration 3 is se-
lected, remote control preset will be
displayed in the amperage window.
See section 9-5 for more information
regarding
Functionality.
Adaptive Hot Start automatically increases
welding amperage at the start of a weld.
This helps eliminate electrode sticking dur-
ing arc initiation.
.
For best results at the end of the weld,
pull back the electrode quickly to extin-
guish the arc.

Arc Control (Dig)
Rotate Arc Control to select desired dig set-
ting from 0 to 100.
Dig control allows the arc characteristics,
soft versus stiff, to be changed for specific
applications and electrodes. Lower the dig
setting for smooth running electrodes like
E7018 and increase the dig setting for stiff-
er, more penetrating electrodes like E6010.
.
Use this mode for Air Carbon Arc
(CAC−A) cutting and gouging. For best
results, adjust Arc Control to maxi-
mum.
