to adjust the voltage with a master/slave 
relationship with the output control dial. 

 

When set to the ‘remote’ position, output is enabled 
through a remote trigger. The 14-pin connector 
remote input is used to adjust the voltage with a 
master/slave relationship with the output control 
dial. 

 

 

 

Amperage Display

 – 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

 – This display will display the pre-set 

welding current when the machine is in the idle state. 
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. 
 

Output Control Local/Remote

 – When the control is 

set to local (no remote potentiometer/control plugged 
into the 12-pin or 14-pin connectors), the output is 
controlled through the Output Control dial on the front of 
the Flextec 350x CE. Set this switch to ‘Remote’ when 
an external potentiometer/control is connected or using 
a CrossLinc™ feeder. 

 

When a CrossLinc™ equipped feeder like the LN-
25X is used, output will then be controlled at the 
CrossLinc™ remote through the full range of the 
voltage allowable. The output control dial on the 
Flextec 350x CE will no longer set the maximum 
amperage. 

 

Output Control Dial 

 

When the Local/Remote is set to Local, this dial 
sets the welding amperage. 

 

When the Local/Remote is set to Remote, and the 
weld terminal switch is in the "ON" position,  this 
dial sets the maximum welding voltage. The 
remote potentiometer controls the voltage from 
minimum to this pre-set maximum. If the weld 
terminal switch is in the "REMOTE" position, the 
output is controlled via the 14-pin input. 

 

Crosslinc™ 

crossLinc is a new welding system communication 
technology. When using a CrossLinc enabled power 

source such as the Flextec350x CE and a CrossLinc 
enabled wire feeder such as the LN25x, welding 
voltage can be controlled remotely without the use of an 
additional control cable. 
The digital meters on th LN25x will show the pre-set 
values for wire feed speed and voltage prior to welding. 
During welding, the meters will show actual current and 
voltage present at the wire feeder. After welding the 
meters will then flashthe last welding current and 
voltage that was present during welding for 10 seconds 
after welding. If WFS or V is adjusted during this 10 
second period, the meters will go back to the pre-set 
value. 

 

When a LN25x CrossLinc enabled feeder is 
connected with the Flextec 350x CE using the 
standard weld power cable and the LN25x sense 
lead is attached to the work piece, the 
CrossLinclight will automatically illuminbate on both 
the Flextec350x CE and the LN25x. no additional 
pairing of the machine to the feeder is needed. 
This light indicates the CrossLinc connection is 
active and that control of the Flextec350x CE 
voltage can be made at the LN25x feeder. 

 

The Flextec350x CE Weld terminals On/Remote 
toggle should be set "ON". This powers the weld 
terminals for an across-the-arc LN25x wire fedder. 

 

The Flextec350x CE Output Local/Remote switch 
should be set to "remote" allowing for remote 
control of the output at the CrossLinc equipped 
feeder. 

 

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. 
 

Hot Start

 – Toggle from the ‘0’ position to the ‘10’ 

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. At the maximum setting (+10), 
maximizes pinch effect and results in a crisp arc. 
 

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. The 12-pin connector remote input is used 
to adjust the voltage with a master/slave 
relationship with the output control dial. 

 

When set to the ‘remote’ position, output is enabled 
through a remote trigger. The 14-pin connector 
remote input is used to adjust the voltage with a 
master/slave relationship with the output control 
dial. 

 

Amperage Display 

– 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.
