OPERATION

B-2

DESIGN FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES

• Separate output terminals for selecting high or low

inductance as recommended for the welding
process.

• Power on/off switch with pilot light and thermostat

tripped indicator light.

• Full range output voltage (CV mode) and current

(CC mode) control for easy operation.

• Panel switches behind a latched front panel for

remote or local output control, output on or remote
selection, and CC, CV Sub-arc or CV MIG mode
selection.

• Panel knob settable CC arc force control with built-in

adjustable “Hot Start”.

• High efficiency output, and selectable “sleep mode”

idle mode timer which shuts down input power if not
used for extra energy conservation.

• Fan as needed (F.A.N.). Solid state thermally con-

trolled fan operates cooling fan only when required.
Minimizes power consumption, operating noise and
dust intake.

• Hinged cover to protect output terminals and auxil-

iary connections.

• Electronic and thermostatic protection for current

overload and excessive temperatures.

• 42 VAC, 10 amp auxiliary power available for the

wire feeder; circuit breaker protected.

• 115 VAC, auxiliary power protected by a 20 amp

breaker available for the wire feeder. Canadian Code
10502, European, and Export Models protected by
15 amp breaker.

• 115 VAC duplex receptacle protected by 20 amp

breaker is available on Domestic and Canadian
Models, except for Canadian Code 10502 receptacle
that is a NEMA 5-15R, protected by a 15 amp break-
er.

• 220 VAC receptacle on European and Export mod-

els for connecting to a water cooler. Protected by 2
amp breaker.

• Single MS-type (14-pin) connection for wire feeder.

• Optional Field Installed Digital or Analog

Voltmeter/Ammeter kits are available.

• Optional dual feeder kit for like polarity connection of

two wire feeders. Easy panel installation.

• Optional Dual Process Switch for two processes with

polarity change and electrical isolation.
