Memory has an advanced feature called ʻmemory reminderʼ. When the Save key is hit, the memory reminder function flashes the LED of the most recently used memory, so the operator can save procedures in the most recently used memory if desired. It is not necessary to save to the most recently used memory; the memory reminder function, and itʼs flashing LED, can be ignored.

Memories cannot be changed without using the Save key. When slight procedure adjustments are neces- sary, but there is no desire to ʻpermanentlyʼ save the adjustments to a memory, this can be done with Procedure A and Procedure B. Set the Panel to A or B, and recall a memory setting. Make the slight proce- dure adjustment -- it will be saved in A or B, whichev- er was selected when the adjustments were made. The memory location will not have changed.

To recall a memory setting, simply push that memory button. That memoryʼs contents will be immediately recalled to the Control box.

If the ʻMemory Change with Trigger Pullʼ DIP switch is on (see SETTING DIP SWITCHES in the INSTALLATION section) it is possible to recall a given memory by quickly pulling and releasing the gun trig- ger before welding. To switch to memory ʻnʼ, simply pull and release the gun trigger ʻnʼ times without attempting to weld. The trigger pulls and releases must be done quickly, in rapid succession. If too much time is allowed to pass, the memory location will not change. Note that whenever the trigger is pulled, a welding sequence (preflow, run-in, etc.) begins, so the electrode should not be allowed to contact the work piece.

CONTROL BOX PANELS -- ʻLARGEʼ OPTION PANELS

A description of the set up controls, Preflow, Run In, Arc Control, Postflow, and Crater, and their maximum and minimum values, is in CONTROL BOX PANELS - SET UP CONTROLS DESCRIPTION in this section.

CV/Gouge Panel:(Std.)

The CV/G Panel has a single toggle switch for select- ing between two weld modes: CV welding and arc gouging. All other set up parameters, Preflow, Arc Control, Postflow, and Crater, default to zero or off. Run-in defaults to the minimum value, or to the weld speed depending on the position of its associated dip switch. (See SETTING DIP SWITCHES in the INSTALLATION section.) Burn back defaults to the on-board trimmer adjustment. When used with the Dual Procedure or Memory options, only the WFS/Amps and Volts/Trim settings are saved.

Selecting the Gouge mode immediately energizes the output terminals on the power source. The output current is set by the Amps control. The Volts/Trim adjustment has no effect in this mode.

K1542-6 M Panel:

This panel has a three position toggle switch for selecting one of three weld modes: CV/MIG, CV/Flux Cored and CC/Stick/Gouge, and a single knob for adjustment of Arc Control. All other set up parame- ters, Preflow, Postflow, and Crater, default to zero or off. Run-in defaults to the minimum value, or to the weld speed depending on the position of its associat- ed dip switch. (See SETTING DIP SWITCHES in the INSTALLATION section.) Burn back defaults to the on-board trimmer adjustment. When used with the Dual Procedure or Memory options, only the WFS/Amps and Volts/Trim settings are saved.

Selecting the CC/Stick/Gouge mode immediately energizes the output terminals on the power source. The output current is set by the Amps control. The Volts/Trim adjustment has no effect in this mode.

K1542-11 MX2 Panel:

This panel provides a selection of four weld modes: CV/MIG, CV/Flux Cored, CC/Stick/soft and CC/Stick/Crisp through a toggle switch and indicator lights (LEDs). It allows for adjustment of all set up parameters, Preflow, Run In, Arc Control, Burnback, Postflow, and Crater, through an up/down toggle switch, indicator lights and a 3 digit display.

Weld modes are selected with the Mode Select switch, an up/down center-off momentary toggle switch. Moving the switch bat up or down moves the Weld Mode LED in the corresponding direction. Holding the switch in either direction will cause the indicator to move quickly in the corresponding direc- tion until the switch is released, or the upper or lower limit is reached.

To adjust Set Up parameters, first select the Set Up parameter for adjustment, and then adjust the dis- played value up or down.

Set Up parameters are selected with the Select switch, an up/down center-off momentary toggle switch. Moving the switch bat up or down moves the Weld Mode LED in the corresponding direction. Holding the switch in either direction will cause the indicator to move quickly in the corresponding direc- tion until the switch is released, or the upper or lower limit is reached.
