3-6. VOLTS/PEAK CONTROL AND PILOT LIGHT (Figure 3-1)

This control presets weld voltage for constant voltage applications and peak voltage for GMAW-P applica- tions.

When the Mode Selector switch is in the CV position or one of the pulses per second positions, the VOLTS/ PEAK pilot light turns on.

This control is disabled when the Mode Selector switch is in the CC position.

Rotating the control clockwise increases voltage.

IMPORTANT: The VOLTS/PEAK control can be ad- justed while welding.

3-7. METERS (Figure 3-1)

The voltmeter displays weld voltage to the nearest tenth of a volt while welding and preset voltage when unit is idling. When welding using the pulsed GMAW process, the meter displays peak voltage.

The ammeter displays weld amperage to the nearest ampere while welding and preset amperage when unit is idling. When welding using the pulsed GMAW process, the meter displays background amperage.

SECTION 4 ± SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill; MOVING PARTS can cause serious injury;

IMPROPER AIR FLOW AND EXPOSURE TO ENVIRONMENT can damage internal parts.

Keep all covers and panels in place while op- erating.

Warranty is void if the welding power source is operated with any portion of the outer enclosure removed.

ARC RAYS, SPARKS, AND HOT SURFACES can burn eyes and skin; NOISE can damage hearing.

Wear correct eye, ear, and body protection.

FUMES AND GASES can seriously harm your health.

Use enough ventilation to keep fumes and gases from the breathing zone.

WELDING WIRE can cause puncture wounds.

Do not point gun toward any part of the body or other personnel.

HOT METAL, SPATTER, AND SLAG can cause fire and burns.

Watch for fire.

Have a fire extinguisher nearby and know how to use it.

MAGNETIC FIELDS FROM HIGH CURRENTS can affect pacemaker operation.

Wearers should consult with their doctor be- fore going near arc welding, gouging, or spot welding operations.

See Arc Welding Safety Precautions Section in the welding power source Owner's Manual.

4-1. GAS METAL ARC WELDING - PULSED ARC (GMAW-P)

WARNING: Read and follow safety informa- tion at beginning of entire Section 4 before proceeding.

1.Install and prepare welding power source according to its Owner's Manual.

2.Install Remote Control as instructed in Section 2.

3.Install and prepare wire feeder according to its Own- er's Manual.

4.Wear dry insulating gloves and clothing, and wear welding helmet with proper filter lens according to ANSI Z49.1.

5.Prepare for welding as follows:

a.Connect work clamp to clean, bare metal at workpiece.

b.Select and obtain proper welding wire, and thread as instructed in wire feeder Owner's Manual.

6.Depress welding power source POWER switch ON button.

7.Place Mode Selector switch to desired pulses per second (60, 90, 120, or 180) position (see Section 3-1).

8.Place CONTACTOR switch in OFF position (see Section 3-3).

9.Place AMMETER switch in the desired position (see Section 3-4).

10.Preset AMPS/BKGD control to desired background amperage setting (see Section 3-5). Pilot light should be on.
