7. Remote LED: This indicator will turn on when a
remote control is connected to the machine via the
remote control connector. Using a remote control
will change the function of the output current con-
trol, refer to the output current control section
below.
8. Output LED: This indicator turns on when the out-
put of the machine is on.
• In stick welding mode, the output of the machine is
automatically turned ON.
• In Lift TIG welding mode without a remote control,
the output of the machine is automatically turned
ON. In this condition a triggering device is not
needed.
• In Lift TIG welding mode with a remote control, the
output of the machine is turned ON and OFF by the
remote device (i.e. hand or foot amptrol) connected
to the remote connector on the front of the
machine. Output must be triggered ON (output LED
lit) to enable Lift TIG starting. After machine output
is triggered ON, the arc must be started within 6.5
seconds or output will turn OFF and trigger
sequence must be restarted. (Note: Any remote
control device with trigger-only circuit, such as the
K814 Arc Start Switch, will not be sensed by the
V160-S remote control connection, and therefore
will not allow control of the output).

or welding current of the machine.
The function of this control knob is changed if a
remote control is connected. If the Remote LED is
ON, this indicates that a remote control is connect-
ed and the function of the output current control will
be:
• Stick Welding Mode: The remote control will adjust
the output current of the machine from 5 to 160A.
The output current control knob on the display
panel is not used.
• TIG Welding Modes: The maximum output current
of the machine is set by the output current control
knob. The remote control then adjusts the output
current from the minimum output (5A) to the value
set by the output current control knob. For example,
if the output current control knob on the machine is
set to 100A then the remote control will adjust the
output current from a minimum of 5A to a maximum
of 100A.
