3. OUTPUT CONTROLS

The Power Feed™ 10M Dual Wire Feeder has 2 encoder knobs to adjust weld parameters.

Each encoder changes the displayed value of the meter located directly above that encoder.

In CC-GTAW modes when equipped with a foot or hand amptrol, the left encoder sets the maximum welding current. Full depression of a foot or hand amptrol results in the preset level of current.

In CC-Stick and CC-GTAW, the right encoder acti- vates and de-activates the output. Turning the encoder clockwise enables the output. To de-ener- gize the output, turn the encoder counter-clockwise. The display above will indicate the "ON" or "OFF" status of the output.

4.DUAL PROCEDURE / DUAL HEAD SELECT W/MEMORY PANEL

(See Mode Select Panel Section for a Functional Description and detailed explanation)

This panel is intended for dual head applications, and is essentially the same as the Dual Procedure with Memory panel except for the addition of a second pro- cedure select push button. It contains two procedure select buttons, one for each head, and six memory (storage) buttons.

In general terms, dual procedure and memory are essentially independent storage locations for informa- tion.

5. MODE SELECT PANEL 4 (MSP4)

OVERVIEW:

The MSP4 is the standard mode select panel for the Power Feed™ 10M Dual Wire Feeder wire feeders. The MSP4 is capable of:

-Weld mode selection.

-Arc Control adjustment.

-Weld sequence control (Preflow Time, Run-in WFS, etc.)
