Note that the remote local switch (item 18) located in the wirefeed compartment should be set to remote for the amperage/voltage
controls to be operative.
10. Multifunction Control - Voltage, Down Slope & Arc Force
The multifunction control knob is used to adjust Voltage (MIG Mode), Down slope (LIFT TIG Mode) and Arc Force (STICK Mode)
depending on the welding mode selected.
NOTE!
The preview functionality provided on this power source is intended to act as a guide only. Some differ-
ences may be observed between preview values and actual welding values due to factors including the
mode of welding, differences in consumables/gas mixtures, individual welding techniques and the transfer
mode of the welding arc (ie dip versus spray transfer). Where exact settings are required (in the case of
procedural work), it is recommended that alternate measurement methods be utilized to ensure output
values are accurate.
When MIG Mode is Selected
In this mode the control knob is used to adjust the output voltage of the unit. The welding voltage is increased by turning the knob
clockwise or decreased by turning the knob anti-clockwise. The optimum voltage level required will dependent on the type of
welding application. The setup chart on the inside of the wire feed compartment door provides a brief summary of the required
output settings for a basic range of MIG welding applications.
