6-3. Process/Contactor Switch

11 Process/Contactor Switch

! Weld output terminals are ener- gized when Process/Contactor switch is in a Weld Terminals Al- ways On position and the engine is running.

Use switch to select weld process and weld output on/off control (see table be- low).

Place switch in Remote On/Off Switch Required positions to turn weld output on and off with a device connected to the Remote 14 receptacle.

Place switch in Weld Terminals Always On positions for weld output to be on whenever the engine is running.

Use Stick mode for air carbon arc (CAC-A) cutting and gouging.

When switch is in Stick mode, select one of four arc drive (dig) settings to provide additional amperage during low voltage (short arc length) conditions and prevent “sticking” electrodes. Turn control from A to D to increase arc drive (dig) from min to max.

Use the Lift-Arc TIG mode for TIG (GTAW) welding using the Lift-Arc TIG starting procedure (see Section 6-4).
