DIP Switch 6: European/USA Machine

Configuration

This configures several functions of the V160-S as required by the European and USA markets. For the European market it is OFF and for the USA market it is ON.

Specifically, this configures the operation of the TIG slope timers, remote control, and trigger. However, this configuration also depends on the position of DIP Switch 1 which selects the machine type. This setting can be changed but only if the following functions are clearly understood.

(DIP Switch 1 = ON)

In TIG welding mode, the following conditions can exist.

•No TIG slopes are available. If slopes are needed a foot pedal remote control can be used.

•No remote control connected. With no remote con- trol connected, the output is ON and a trigger is not needed. Simple Lift TIG welding is possible.

•Remote control connected. With a remote control connected, the output is OFF and a trigger is need- ed. Simple Lift-TIG welding is possible using a 2- step trigger sequence.

DIP Switch 7 thru 8 non-functional for the V160-S.

START/CRATER CURRENT ADJUSTMENT

It is not possible to change the start/crater current of a "S" type machine. The values set from the factory are:

European Machines: 20% (160A welding current = 32A start/crater current)

USA Machines: 10% (160A welding current = 16A start/crater current)
