Consists of a
With input power disconnected from the power source, install the input cable per the following:
1)Connect the end of the control cable with the 14- pin cable plug to the mating receptacle on the power source.
2)Connect the electrode lead to the power source output terminal of the desired polarity.
3)Connect the
4)Slip the current sensor cover off enough to expose the input connector stud. Connect the electrode cable from the power source to this stud with the nut provided, then reclose the current sensor cover.
Work Cable
Connect a work lead of sufficient size and length (per the following table) between the proper output termi- nal on the power source and the work. Be sure the connection to the work makes tight
