When this option is connected to the feeder control receptacle the front panel knob controls are disabled and procedure control is transferred to the knob encoder controls of the remote, which function in the exact same manner.

continues for 5 seconds after the weld is stopped (memory ammeter) before returning to displaying WFS (light not “blinking”.)

Pressing both the Gas Purge and Up Arrow key again, returns WFS display to wire speed

Setting the toggle switch to the center “Gun Switch” position permits the Procedure A or Procedure B to be selected by the optional K683-1 Dual Procedure Switch. The K1449-1 Dual Procedure Remote Control can be used with this panel Procedure Switch in any position.
