position to energize the machine. When the power is on
the output will be energized in STICK (SMAW) mode and
TIG (GTAW) if the remote is set to local control. At
power up the thermal Light and Fan will turn on for
approximately 3 seconds.
2. OUTPUT CONTROL
current. Control is provided over the entire output range of
the power source with (1) turn of the control knob. This
control may be adjusted while under load to change
power source output. When using remote control this
function becomes the maximum limit setting.
3. CURRENT DISPLAY
the preset output current that is selected, from
0-275A, when in Local Mode. When the power
source is set to Remote Mode, the preset current
display is showing the current limit that is set. When
welding it shows the actual current measured while
under load. After the arc is broken the last current
measured will flash for 5 seconds.
4. VOLTAGE DISPLAY
actual voltage measured across the output studs.
This reading is only displayed during welding. After
the arc is broken the last voltage and current will
flash for 5 seconds.
5. LOCAL/REMOTE SWITCH

for remote control.
6. . MODE SWITCH
CC -Stick (SMAW) Use this mode for all stick welding.
Output energized when machine is on.
TIG (GTAW) Optimized for touch start use. Short circuit
current is limited to approximately 20 amps to aid in touch
starting.
In TIG (GTAW) mode, the Local/Remote switch also con-
trols if the output is energized.

7. HOT START
-
Controls the amount of starting energy
in CC Stick (SMAW). The Hot Start can be either
turned on or off. When on, it provides a striking current at
160% of the set current or 275A whichever is less then
quickly reverts to the set current in 0.4 second.
