The open circuit voltage is shown in the Left
Display and the preset amperage is shown
in the Right Display.
Operation
The Adjust Control is used to set desired
preset amperage.
If a remote control is plugged into the
14−Pin receptacle, the remote will be a per-
centage of the preset amperage. When
Configuration 2 or Configuration 3 are ac-
tive, remote controls will be ignored and
amperage will operate in panel only control.
See section 9-5 for more information re-
garding Alternate Configurations.
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.
