Optional Low Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) Welding Modes

Low OCV Operation
The unit can be optionally configured for low open circuit voltage (OCV) operation in Stick and Scratch Start TIG modes. When the unit is
configured for low OCV operation only a low sensing voltage (approximately 15 VDC) is present between the electrode and the workpiece
prior to the electrode touching the workpiece. Consult a Factory Authorized Service Agent for information regarding how to configure the unit
for low OCV welding operation.

If a remote control is plugged into the 14-Pin
receptacle, the remote will be a percentage
of the preset amperage. When Configuration
2 or Configuration 3 are active, remote con-
trols will be ignored and amperage will oper-
ate in panel only control. See Section 9-5 for
more information
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)
3
1
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
regarding Alternate
E7018 and increase the dig setting for stiffer,
more penetrating electrodes like E6010.
�
Use this mode for Air Carbon Arc
(CAC-A) cutting and gouging. For best
results,
maximum.
