19. Display: 

  Left display: Shows wire feed speed or welding 

current. During welding shows the actual welding 
current value. 

  Right display: Shows the welding voltage in volts 

units or tuning value (Trim). During welding shows 
the actual welding voltage value. 

 
20. Left Knob: Adjusts values on the left display. 
 
21. Right Knob: Adjusts values on the right display. 
 
22. Right Button: Enables scrolling, changing and setting 

welding parameters. Quick access. 

 
23. Left Button: Enables changing the welding process 

and shielding gas. 

 
24. Thermal Overload Indicator: It indicates that the 

machine is overloaded or that the cooling is not 
sufficient. 

 
25. Status Indicator: A two color light that indicates 

system errors. Normal operation is steady green 
light. LED light conditions and their meanings are 
described in Table 1.  

 

 WARNING 

The status light will flash green, and sometimes red and 
green when the machine is first turned on. When the 
power source is powered it can take as long as 60 
seconds for the machine to be ready to weld. This is a 
normal situation as the machine goes through 
initialization.
