Hot Start For Flextec™ 650– 

Rotate from the “0” 

position to the “10” position to

 

provide more energy 

during the start of a weld.

Toggle to 

“ON”

 position 

to provide more energy during the start of a weld. 
 

Arc Control – 

The Arc Control regulates pinch effect. At 

the

 

minimum setting (-10), minimizes pinch and results 

in a soft arc. Low pinch settings are preferable for 
welding with gas mixes containing mostly inert gases. At 
the maximum setting (+10), maximizes pinch effect and 
results in a crisp arc. High pinch settings are preferable 
for welding FCAW and GMAW with CO

Weld Terminals On/Remote

 

• 

When set to the “ON” position, the weld terminals 
are at OCV (open circuit voltage) and ready to weld. 
This selection is used for across the arc wire 
feeders.  

• 

When set to the “REMOTE” position, output is 
enabled through a remote trigger.  
 

Amperage Display Meter – 

This display will display

 

three dashed lines when the machine is in the idle state. 
This indicates that amperage is not settable in this weld 
mode. While output is enabled, the actual welding 
amperage will be displayed. After welding, the meter 
holds the actual amperage value for 5 seconds. Output 
adjustment while in the "hold" period results in the "prior 
to operation" characteristics stated above. 
The displays blink indicating that the machine is in the 
"hold" period. 
 

Voltage Display Meter – 

This display will display the 

pre-set

 

welding voltage when the machine is in the idle 

state. After welding, the meter holds the actual voltage 
value for 5 seconds. Output adjustment while in the 
"hold" period results in the "prior to operation" 
characteristics stated above. The displays blink 
indicating that the machine is in the "hold" period. 
 

Output Control Local/Remote – 

When the control is 

set to

 

“LOCAL” (no remote potentiometer/control 

plugged into the 6 pin or 14 pin connectors), the output 
is controlled through the Output Control Dial on the front 
of the FLEXTEC™ 650&450. Set this switch to 
“REMOTE” when an external potentiometer/control is 
connected. 
 

Output Control Dial

 

 

When the Local/Remote is set to “LOCAL”, this dial 
sets the welding voltage.  

 

When the Local/Remote is set to “REMOTE”, this 
dial is disabled. 

 

CV-Innershield 

This weld mode is a constant voltage (CV) mode 
featuring continuous control from 10 to 45 volts. It is 
intended for the FCAW-SS welding process and arc 
gouging.

When the Local/Remote is set to “LOCAL”, this dial 
sets the welding voltage.  

 

When the Local/Remote is set to “REMOTE”, this 
dial is disabled.  

 

CV-SAW (only for Flextec™650) 

This weld mode is a constant voltage (CV) mode 
featuring continuous control from 10 to 45 volts. It is 
intended for the CV-SAW submerged arc welding 
process. 
 

Hot Start – 

Not used for this welding process. 

 

Arc Control – 

Not used for this welding process .
