K1542-6 “M” PANEL

The M Panel provides a fixed large bat toggle switch selection of three Power Source modes. The upper position selects the generic CV/MIG mode from the power source, the middle position selects the CV/FLUX CORED mode, and the lower position selects the CC/STICK/GOUGE mode. Arc control is accomplished through the use of the ARC CONTROL potentiometer. The arc control value is actually a trim with zero being the nominal and the scale ranging from (-10) to (+10). Preflow, postflow, and spot time default to zero or off. Run-in defaults to the minimum value or weld speed, depending on the position of its associated dip switch. Burn back defaults to the on board trimmer adjustment.

NOTE: Due to the nature of fixed position switches, potentiometers, and default values, this option does not allow the mode, arc control, timers, or Burn back values to be included in dual pro- cedure or memory information. They are over- ridden by the fixed values.

CC/STICK/GOUGE Mode

Selecting the CC/STICK/GOUGE mode on this panel automatically energizes the output terminals on the power source, making the power source immediately ready to weld. In the CC modes, the output current is set by the Amps control, and the Volts/Trim adjust- ment has no effect in this mode. In this mode, the Arc Control adjusts the arc force. Increasing the Arc Control setting increases the arc force, making the arc more harsh but less likely to stick. Decreasing the Arc Control setting decreases the arc force, making the arc softer and smoother.

Constant Voltage (CV/Weld, CV/MIG, CV/Flux Cored) Procedures

When in this mode, the Arc Control adjusts the induc- tance. (This adjustment is often referred to as ʼpinch”. Inductance is inversely proportional to pinch.) Increasing the Arc Control setting decreases the inductance, which results in the arc getting colder and pinched tighter. Decreasing the Arc Control setting increases the inductance, which results in the arc get- ting wider (reduced pinch).

Installation is as follows: 1. Turn off power.

dard or option panel. Discard the old panel or save for future use.

3.Tilt the new option panel away from the front opening of the Control Box cabinet and plug the white electrical connector into the proper connec- tor (12 pin) on the right side of the main printed circuit board until the connector latches into place. Attach the chassis wire (if equipped) to the back of the new panel.

4.Slide the new panel through the opening, taking care not to damage the connections and the print- ed circuit board on the back.

5.Align the screw holes, replace the two screws and tighten.

2.Remove the two screws from the front of the stan- dard or option panel at the location you choose to install your new option, (bottom), of the Control Box cabinet. Save the screws for re-use. Unplug the white electrical connector. Remove the chas- sis wire (if equipped) from the back of the stan-
