OPERATION
B-2
• 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 15 amp
breaker.
• 220 VAC receptacle for connecting to a water cooler.
Protected by 2 amp breaker.
• MS-type (6-pin) and (14-pin) connections for remote
and wire feeder.
• Optional Field Installed Digital or Analog
Voltmeter/Ammeter kits are available.
• Optional Dual Process Switch for two processes with
polarity change and electrical isolation.
