Controls and Settings
On/Off Switch
Placing the switch in the “ON” position energizes the feeder circuitry and the
power indicator light.
Wire Size Selector Switch
The wire size selector switch changes the torque of the slave motor for the
wire you are using. When in the .030-.035 aluminum only position, the slave
motor produces approximately 1 1/2 lbs./inch of torque and approximately 4
1/2 lbs./inch when in the all other wires position.
NOTE:
Operating the cabinet with the switch in the wrong
position will cause wire feed difficulties.
PosaStart Switch & Run In Speed Setting
The Posa Start Run-in Speed Control, located on the front panel, provides
wire speed adjustment for slow wire run-in. This setting tracks as a percent-
age of the welding wire speed setting. Once the arc has been established,
the wire feed speed automatically changes from the slow run-in speed to the
welding wire speed set on the gun potentiometer.
PosaStart operation and configuration is explained later in this section.
Trigger Normal/Trigger Latched
This switch configures the electronic Trigger Latching mechanism. In the
Trigger “Normal” mode, pull and hold the trigger to start welding functions
- release trigger to stop welding functions. In the Trigger “Latched” mode pull
and release trigger, to start welding functions- pull trigger again and release,
to stop welding functions.
The Prepurge/Postpurge functions are pre-configured to provide a preset
amount of pre & postpurge gas time; 0.25 and 2.0 second respectively. The
default factory position of this jumper is horizontal (top right) across pins.
Changing the position of the JP3 jumper changes the configuration of the pre
& postpurge sequences. Refer to Figure 5 for the desired pre and postpurge
sequence. Once the desired sequence is selected, relocate on JP3 jumper
from its horizontal default pattern (top right) to its new vertical sequence posi-
turn.

Pre-Purge Settings & Adjustments (JP2)
The Pre-Purge Jumper/Pot Configuration at JP2 has 3 available settings:
0.25 sec. fixed, variable from 0-1 sec. or variable from 0-5 seconds.
By default, the twin two-pin jumpers, across rows 1 & 3, are configured for
0.25 sec. Just to the left of the jumpers is a ¾-turn potentiometer (pot) which
is used with both variable settings. For the 0-1 sec. range, move the jumpers
