1.POWER SWITCh - Place the lever in the “ON” position to energize the machine. When the power is on the output will be energized in STICK (SMAW) mode and TIG (GTAW) if the remote is set to local control. At power up the thermal Light and Fan will turn on for approxi- mately 3 seconds.
2.OuTPuT CONTROL - This controls the output current. Control is provided over the entire output range of the power source with (1) turn of the control knob. This control may be adjusted while under load to change power source output. When using remote control this function becomes the limit setting.
3.LOCAL/REMOTE SWITCh - Place in the
“LOCAL” position to allow output adjustment at the machine. Place in the “REMOTE” position to allow output adjustment at remote pot or amptrol. In Remote, the machine output control pot is the limit setting for remote control.
TIG (GTAW) Optimized for touch start use. Short circuit current is limited to approximately 20 amps to aid in touch starting.
5.hOT START - Controls the amount of starting ener- gy in CC Stick (SMAW). The Hot Start can be either turned on or off. When on, it provides a striking current at 260% of the set current or 275A whichever is larger then quickly reverts to the set current in 0.4 second.
6.ARC FORCE - This control functions in CC Stick (SMAW) modes to adjust the Arc Force. The arc is soft at the minimum settings and more forceful or driving at the maximum settings. Higher spatter levels may be present at the maximum settings.
Full range is from -10(Soft) to +10(Crisp)
