USING THE CONTROL PANEL

MagTrac F 61 control panel allows you to view and adjust the welding parameter values.

You can use the values stored in the memory channels of the wire feeder, or you can set the

desired values on the welding carriage without using the memory channels.
If the memory channel function is active, you can see the channel number on the top row of

the carriage control panel display. The MagTrac F 61 communicates with the wire feeder via a

control cable integrated in the welding gun cable.
