7.Remote LED: This indicator will turn on when a remote control is connected to the machine via the remote control connector. Using a remote control will change the function of the output current con- trol, refer to the output current control section below.

8.Output LED: This indicator turns on when the out- put of the machine is on.

•In stick welding mode, the output of the machine is automatically turned ON.

•In Lift TIG welding mode without a remote control, the output of the machine is automatically turned ON. In this condition a triggering device is not needed.

•In Lift TIG welding mode with a remote control, the output of the machine is turned ON and OFF by the remote device (i.e. hand or foot amptrol) connected to the remote connector on the front of the machine. Output must be triggered ON (output LED lit) to enable Lift TIG starting. After machine output is triggered ON, the arc must be started within 6.5 seconds or output will turn OFF and trigger sequence must be restarted. (Note: Any remote control device with trigger-only circuit, such as the K814 Arc Start Switch, will not be sensed by the V160-S remote control connection, and therefore will not allow control of the output).

9.Output Current Control: This controls the output or welding current of the machine.

The function of this control knob is changed if a remote control is connected. If the Remote LED is ON, this indicates that a remote control is connect- ed and the function of the output current control will be:

•Stick Welding Mode: The remote control will adjust the output current of the machine from 5 to 160A. The output current control knob on the display panel is not used.

•TIG Welding Modes: The maximum output current of the machine is set by the output current control knob. The remote control then adjusts the output current from the minimum output (5A) to the value set by the output current control knob. For example, if the output current control knob on the machine is set to 100A then the remote control will adjust the output current from a minimum of 5A to a maximum of 100A.
