Fan Motor FM

Input

Power

Provides cooling of internal compo- nents.

4 Main Transformer T1

Supplies power to weld output cir- cuit, various control circuits, main control board PC1, and fan motor FM.

5 Control Board PC1

Controls weld output by changing the SCR gate pulses (conduction times) after comparing current feedback to selected amperage signal.

Also provides input connections for switches S3, S5, S6, and S7.

6Arc Control Switch S6 And Control R2

R2 selects short-circuit amperage when S6 is On, and High Frequen- cy control R13 is Off.

7Crater Time Switch S7 And Control R11

R11 selects crater time when S7 is on, and Amperage Control switch S5 is in Panel position.

8 Thermostat TP1

If T1 overheats, TP1 opens stop- ping all weld output.

9 Output (Contactor) Switch S3

Selects On or remote contactor control.

10 AC Balance Control R3

Controls changes to ac output square wave.

11Ammeter A1 And Voltmeter V1

Display weld amperage and volt- age while welding.

12Amperage Control Switch S5 And Adjustment Control R1

R1 selects weld output amperage when S5 is in Panel.

13Remote 14 Filter Board PC2/Remote 14 Receptacle RC1

PC2 protects unit from high fre- quency, and RC1 connects remote amperage and contactor controls to power source.

14 Circuit Breaker CB1

Protects 115 volts ac duplex recep- tacle RC2 from overload.
