FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

The numbered items of Figure B.2 match the num- bered items described below:

These few instruments and controls are basic to the operation and monitoring of the Converter. They are intuitively laid out so that the panel left side is weld cur- rent related, and the right side is weld voltage related:

(1)Input Power/ Mode Switch has three positions:

Center is OFF, which shuts off input power to the Converter.

Neither displays nor output is on if in OFF position.

Left is on for CC (constant current) welding mode.

Only AMPS digital meter is lit, displaying the preset current setting.

Output will be on at o.c.v. (open circuit voltage).

Right is on for CV (constant voltage) welding mode.

Only VOLTS digital meter is lit, displaying the preset voltage setting.

Output will be on at the output voltage setting.

(2)Output Control has 3-3/4 turn resolution with slip- clutch to prevent control pot damage.

In CC mode it presets AMPS (30-350A range) when not welding and adjusts actual arc current while welding.

In CV mode it presets VOLTS (15-40v range) when not welding and adjusts actual arc voltage while welding.

(3)AMPS Digital Meter is a 3-1/2 digit LED meter which displays:

Preset AMPS in CC mode when not welding. “Blank” in CV mode when not welding.

Actual AMPS while welding in both CC and CV modes.
