MULTIPROCESS SWITCH

To change stick polarity, reverse the leads at the (+) and (-) terminals on the right side of the Multiprocess Switch.

NOTE: When a DC-400 equipped with Multiprocess Switch is mounted on an undercarriage, the undercarriage handle in the resting position can hit the case of the Multiprocess Switch. This does no harm, but if the user desires, a 1/4” or 3/8” bolt and nut may be placed in the hole in the undercarriage tow bar to limit the travel of the undercarriage handle.

STICK, TIG OR AIR/CARBON ARC *

a)Turn off all power.

b)Disconnect all wire feed unit control, electrode, and work leads.

c)Place MODE SWITCH in the “CONSTANT CUR- RENT (STICK/TIG)” for air carbon arc.

d)For stick, TIG or air carbon arc, place OUTPUT TERMINALS switch into the “ON” position. With the DC-400 connected for stick, TIG or air carbon arc welding, the output terminals will be energized at all times.

*NOTE: If stick welding, TIG welding or air carbon arc cutting is to be done on the DC-400 along with semi-automatic/automatic welding, then a K804-1 Multiprocess Switch is required. If the Multiprocess Switch is not used, then all control, electrode, and work leads to wire feed equipment must be disconnected from the DC-400 before connecting the DC-400 for stick or air carbon arc cutting.
