INTRODUCTION
2.09 Internal Controls And Connections
1. STORAGE BOX: On the job storage for drive rolls,
tips, nozzels, etc. To remove, lift up to release
velcro and slide it up and over the side retainers.
2. HIGH/LOW RANGE SWITCH: Gives a finer dial
control over the wire speed, which is especially
useful with larger diameter flux-cored wires.
3. WIRE SPEED/AMP METER SELECTION DIP
SWITCHES: Set these switches to change the lower
meter display from wire speed to amperage output
of the power source. Refer to Section 2.08, item 3
and section 4.07 for DIP switch setting information.
4. CARTRIDGE GUN LEADS: These two spade
terminals provide the MIG gun switch connection.
5. UPPER RETAINING KNOB: This knob is used to
secure the bearing feed roll. Remove this knob to
change the bearing feed roll.
6. GUN CLAMP KNOB: Tighten this knob to secure
the welding gun to the wire feeder.
7. OUTPUT GUIDE LOCKSCREW: Tighten this screw
to secure the output wire guide.
8. LOWER RETAINING KNOB: This knob is used to
secure the drive feed roll. Remove this knob to
change the drive feed roll.
9. INPUT GUIDE LOCKSCREW: Tighten this screw
to secure the input wire guide.
10.INPUT WIRE GUIDE: This guide is required to
direct the welding wire from the wire spool to the
drive feed roll.
11.SPRING TENSION KNOB: Use the spring tension
knob to adjust the amount of force the bearing
feed roll exerts on the welding wire.
12.CC/CV MODE SWITCH: The CC position provides
a voltage sensing wire feed speed mode of
operation for use with constant current (CC) power
sources. The CV position provides a constant wire
feed speed mode of operation for use with constant
voltage (CV) power sources.
NOTE
This switch does not select a CC or CV mode
of operation. The mode of operation is set
by the type of power source being used.
13.INPUT CIRCUIT BREAKER: This circuit breaker
provides complete system protection for the wire
feeder in the case of a fault or overload condition.
14.HUB TENSION BOLT: The hub tension bolt is used
to adjust the wire spool tension which acts as a
mechanical brake to assist in the stopping of the
welding wire at the completion of a weld.
