SECTION 4:
OPERATION
Conventional operating procedures apply when using the Welding Power Source, i.e. connect work lead directly to work piece and
electrode lead is used to hold the electrode. The welding current range values should be used as a guide only. Current delivered to the
arc is dependent on the welding arc voltage, and as welding arc voltage varies between different classes of electrode, welding current
at any one setting would vary according to the type of electrode in use. The operator should use the welding current range values as
a guide then fine tune the welding current to suit the specific application. Refer to the electrode manufacture's literature for further
information.
4.01 Front Panel
(A) Process Selection Switch
Switches between GTAW (Lift TIG) and SMAW (Stick) Welding modes.
(B) Power On Indicator
The Power ON Indicator illuminates when the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position and the nominal mains voltage is present.
(C) Over Heat Indicator
The welding power source is protected by a self resetting thermostat. The indicator will illuminate if the duty cycle of the power source
has been exceeded. If the Over Heat light illuminates wait for the Over Heat light to extinguish before resuming welding.
(D) Welding Current Control
The welding current is increased by turning the Weld Current control knob clockwise or decreased by turning the Weld Current control
knob counterclockwise. The welding current should be set according to the specific application. Refer to the electrode manufacture's
literature for further information.
(E) ON/OFF Switch (located on rear panel - not shown)
This switch controls the Mains Supply Voltage to the Power Source.
