2.Connect the electrode cable to the positive terminal marked “+”.

3.Remove the terminal strip access cover panel on the lower case front. Refer to Figure A.3 for the location.

4.Work Sense lead #21 from the 14 Pin MS-recepta- cle must be connected to “-21”on the terminal strip.

Note: This is how the DC-655 is shipped from the factory.

5.Replace the terminal strip access cover panel.

The output terminals are located at the lower front of the welder behind a hinged door. Refer to Figure A.3. Route the welding cables through the slotted strain reliefs of the base to the welding terminals.

LOW INDUCTANCE TERMINAL

On the DC-655, the inside right Negative (-) output ter- minal is lower choke inductance. This terminal is presently only recommended for CV mode welding with NR203Ni 1% negative polarity procedures.. All other processes are to be welded using the outside right Negative (-) output terminal with higher choke inductance. CC mode processes must use high inductance.

For Positive Polarity:

1.Connect the work cable to the high inductance (-)

terminal (marked " ").

For Negative Polarity:

1.Connect the electrode cable to the appropriate high

inductance (-) terminal (marked " ")

or to

the low inductance (-) terminal (marked

"

") if using NR203Ni 1% electrode.

2.Connect the work cable to the positive terminal marked “+”.

3.Remove the terminal strip access cover panel on the lower case front. Refer to Figure A.3 for the location.

4.Work Sense lead #21 from the 14 Pin MS-recepta- cle must be connected to “+21”on the terminal strip.

5.Replace the terminal strip access cover panel.
