Lincoln Electric IM10044 manual Weld Mode Selector Switch, ARC Control, Welding Terminals Switch

B-4 OPERATION B-4

13. WELD MODE SELECTOR SWITCH:

(Provides 3 selectable welding modes)

CV-WIRE

CC-STICK

TOUCH START TIG

14. ARC CONTROL:

The ARC CONTROL WIRE/STICK knob is active in the WIRE and STICK modes, and has different functions in these modes. This control is not active in the TIG mode.

CC-STICK mode: In this mode, the ARC CON- TROL knob sets the short circuit current (arc- force) during stick welding. Increasing the num- ber from -10(Soft) to +10(Crisp) increases the short circuit current and prevents sticking of the electrode to the plate while welding. This can also increase spatter. It is recommended that the ARC CONTROL be set to the minimum number without electrode sticking. Start with a setting at 0.

CV-WIRE mode: In this mode, turning the ARC CONTROL knob from -10(soft) to +10(crisp) changes the arc from soft and washed-in to crisp and narrow. It acts as an inductance/pinch con- trol. The proper setting depends on the proce- dure and operator preference. Start with a setting of 0.

15. WELDING TERMINALS SWITCH:

In the WELD TERMINALS ON position, the out- put is electrically hot all the time . In the REMOTELY CONTROLLED position, the output is controlled by a wire feeder or amptrol device, and is electrically off until a remote switch is depressed.

WARNING

•There is no VRD protection in the CV Mode.

•When the Toggle switch is in the “WELD TERMINAL ON” position the voltage at the output terminal maybe up to 60V.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

16. WIRE FEEDER VOLTMETER SWITCH:

Matches the polarity of the wire feeder volt- meter to the polarity of the electrode.

17. 6 - PIN CONNECTOR:

For attaching optional remote control equipment. When in the CC-STICK and CV-WIRE modes and when a remote control is connected to the Connector, the auto-sensing circuit automatically switches the OUTPUT control from control at the welder to remote control.

18. 14-PIN CONNECTOR:

For attaching wire feeder control cable. Includes contactor closure circuit, auto-sensing remote control circuit, and 42VAC or 115VAC power. The remote control circuit operates the same as the 6-Pin Connector.

19.42V / 115V WIRE FEEDER VOLTAGE SWITCH:

Toggles output of 14-pin connector to voltage requirement of Wire Feeder. (Located above 14- pin connector.)

20. WELD OUTPUT TERMINALS + AND -

These 1/2” - 13 studs with flange nuts provide welding connection points for the electrode and work cables. For positive polarity welding the electrode cable connects to the “+” terminal and the work cable connects to this “-” terminal. For negative polarity welding the work cable con- nects to the “+” terminal and the electrode cable connects to this “-” terminal.

AUXILIARY POWER CONTROLS

(Items 21-24)

21. CIRCUIT BREAKERS

These circuit breakers provide separate overload current protection for each 240V receptacles, 415V 3 phase receptacle, the 42VAC and 115VAC in the 14-Pin connector and battery cir- cuit overload protection.

22. 240 VAC RECEPTACLES

These two 240VAC receptacles provide up to 15 amp total rating each and are IP66 rated. Refer to the AUXILIARY POWER RECEPTACLES section in the installation chapter for further infor- mation about these receptacles. Also refer to the AUXILIARY POWER OPERATION section later in this chapter.
