4. GENERATOR
RECOMMENDATION
If using house power from a building circuit, please contact the manufacturer for advice on plug and cord
configuration.
In-field generators should be rated for at least 3500 watts, however a rating of 5000 watts or more is
recommended in order to obtain the best welder performance and temperature control.
The higher the wattage rating of the generator, the better the performance of the welder. Keep in mind
that the length and wire gauge of the extension cord being used combined with the capacity of the
generator will ultimately determine the operating voltage reaching the welder.
5. EXTENSION
CORDS
Extension cords should be at least 12 gauge and regardless of overall length should have a minimum of
plug-end connections. The more plug end connections you have between the power supply and the
welder, the more severe the operating voltage drop will be.
Maximum recommended extension cord length
:
10 gauge, 3 wire
12 gauge, 3 wire
14 gauge, 3 wire
16 gauge, 3 wire

6. ACCESSORIES
The Pro-X has been designed for “user friendly” operation. However, Demtech strives to make your life
easier by inventing accessories and attachments to our welders that make operation even friendlier. For
example, the SP-100 Spool holder attachment is available to help manage welding rod while welding.
Please contact supplier for more information and pricing.
