4 Supplied Weld Output Terminal Nut

5 Weld Cable Terminal

6 Copper Bar

Remove supplied nut from weld out- put terminal. Slide weld cable terminal onto weld output terminal and secure with nut so that weld cable terminal is tight against copper bar.

7 Work Weld Output Terminal

8 Electrode Weld Output Terminal

For Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), connect work cable to Work terminal and electrode holder cable to Electrode terminal.

For Direct Current Electrode Negat- ive (DCEN), reverse cable connec- tions

Use Process Selector switch to select type of weld output (see Section 6-1).

. See Sections 6-3for typical pro- cess connections and control settings.
